    Summary

    Steve crouched down again, slowly, so he was on the same level as Bucky. “You remember me?” he asked desperately.

    Bucky looked down at the portal remote Steve still held, then narrowed his eyes when he met Steve’s. “You let some yahoo experiment on you again, didn’t you? Some mad scientist said, ‘hold my beer,’ and you pushed the button, right?”

    Summary

    “I hate this,” Anakin announces and tilts his head up to the early afternoon sky as if blaming a higher power for his present circumstances. “If we were meant to be in the water, we’d have gills!”

    “If man was meant to fly, he’d have wings,” Obi-Wan reminds him, setting a splayed hand on his bare lower back. “One more step into the water. You can do it,” he cajoles.

    “Flying is awesome. This just sucks. Nothing slimy tries to rub up against you in the sky.”

    “I feel there’s a few airline stewardesses that would disagree with that.”

    Anakin's laughter is low and genuine, expelled out of him like a cough. Obi-Wan does his best not to feel smug.

    (Lifeguard!Obi-Wan tries to teach thalassophobic Anakin to swim. It goes surprisingly well. Mostly.)

    Summary

    As he neared, Obi-Wan, alerted by doubtless some primal instinct, turned around.

    Their eyes met. Anakin faltered. A flicker of surprise crossed Obi-Wan’s face, quickly masked by his usual composure.

    "Lord Kenobi.” The title fit oddly in Anakin's mouth, his tongue ill at ease in giving it shape. “You appear well. It's good to see you again."

    Obi-Wan's eyes softened just a fraction, then cooled. "Mr. Skywalker," he replied neutrally. "Welcome back."

    [The faux-regency Obikin fic absolutely no one asked for.]

    Summary

    In his tipsy state, it didn’t occur to Obi-Wan to peer through the peephole or ask who it was. He simply opened the door.

    “Hello,” said the man on the other side, hand raised mid-knock. He was young, dressed in a button-down shirt with a messenger bag strapped across his chest. A pair of low-slung jeans hugged his hips and astonishingly long legs. Attractiveness aside, he could have been one of a thousand millennials that Obi-Wan saw every year applying for an internship. He had the look; smart, neat, a bit of a challenge at the corners of his mouth.

    “Hello?” Obi-Wan echoed, gaze flicking briefly to the aforementioned mouth (lush, pink, biteable), and then back up just as fast. “May I help you?”

    The man smiled. “It’s more that I’m here to help you, Master.”

    An apology out of the blue, and the brief conversation that ensues. They hug.
