Obikin Time Travel AU where Anakin ends up meeting Obi-Wan, who is the same age as him.
And, because there's no Secrets and Impropriety and Guilt and Age Gap and whatnot, AND he's gone so far back in the timeline that Palpatine isn't even the Chancellor yet, Anakin just gets sidetracked by having an affair with Obi-Wan basically immediately and ends up messing up the timeline even more -- this time not because he falls to the Dark Side, but because he completely forgets what he was traveling back in time for in the first place for like, multiple years.
Obi-Wan: [reading the news on his phone in bed] Huh, looks like Palpatine became the new Chancellor. Anakin: [half asleep next to him, naked with wild bedhead, suddenly bolting out of bed and trying to put his pants on as fast as possible] Oh FUCK, I knew there was something I was forgetting about!
Everyday I get angry about how unimaginative Light was. Like if I was given a death note I would simply write down the names of all the billionaires in the world and force them to donate all of their wealth to different charities and organizations before dying of a heart attack. Like rip to Kira but I’m different.

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.
I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is
I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.
Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.
Here’s proof of what I mean:
THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!
@hopeswhcre
Lmao an AU of my AU.
The Force watching Obi-wan be made by some crazy person. Technically Obi-wan is an artificial child of the Force. They don't have the same connection to the Force as a true child would but its enough that the Force loves them like an adopted child. Even if their new kid cant talk to them directly, only able to sense the Feelings the Force sends them.
The Force does not like it that the crazy person decides that their new adopted child should be decommissioned as a failure.
Force decides to nudge the Jedi into going to get Obi-wan.
They watch their adopted child grow and when Obi is like 15 (still struggling with being so different from everyone else) the Force decides Obi seems lonely and they had been wanting to have another child anyway.
Anakin is born. When Anakin is 9 the Force nudges the Naboo shuttle to Tatooine. The Force drops Anakin into Qui-gon Jinns path.
Force kinda gets grumpy when the jedi try to separate their kids. When Qui-gon dies and joins the Force, he gets to hang out and watch over their kids.
The council is still on the fence about letting Anakin stay. They already had to deal with Obi-wans insane childhood of him trying to hunt people to eat them if they were too dark in the force. Did they really want to deal with potential Chosen One bullshit?
When Obi-wan tells Yoda that he's gonna train Anakin the Force shoves the message of 'listen here u little shit, you keep my babies together or so help me-' to the little green master.
Anakin who CAN talk to the Force like they're a physical person in the same room looks at Obi-wan and goes "Oh! My parent says your my big brother. They also say Master Qui-gon and them are real proud of you."
Obi-wan tries very hard not to tear up.
The council is like "your parent?"
"Yeah. They say you call them the Force... Also they say that you better be nice or they are gonna let everyone know what happened on Alderaan last year." Anakin says, making eye contact with several council members.
Mando weeb Obi-wan decides to nickname the Force Buir. Anakin likes it and adopts it.
It leads to things like
"Buir says you need to eat more." *said to Obi-wan constantly*
"Buir said to take you to the healer halls." "Buir is a snitch." *anakin to Obi-wan who's hiding an injury*
"Buir says sorry for the shatterpoints. They didn't know it would do that." "That what would do that?" "They say im not old enough to know yet. Maybe in a couple thousand years theyll tell me." "... Where is Obi-wan?" *conversation with Mace Windu*(the force did some mystical eldritch magic mushrooms once and when they sobered up shatterpoints were a thing)
"Buir wants to talk to you." "Do this, how would I?" "Uh, they said meditate really hard. They'll try yelling and see if you can hear them." "Hmm bad idea i sense this is, try it I will." *conversation with Yoda hours before yoda falls into a Force induced coma for a few days while he, the Force and Qui-gon hang out*
The jedi also have to handle a child that can sometimes alter the very fabric of the universe to get extra dessert. They mainly let Obi-wan handle it since apparently Obi is the only one able to put Anakin in timeout without the Force getting grumpy about it.
I love the idea of Palpatine being outed way early by Anakin (age 10) who now has 0 filter for what the Force is telling them since they aren't going to get in trouble by a slave master for repeating it.
"Buir says you're a sleemo. It's not nice to pressure someone into giving you contact with a child." Anakin says in the middle of a gathering of senators. The Force had been ranting about Sheev being mean to Obi-wan for hours now.
"Anakin!" Obi-wan pretends to scold even tho he really didn't want to be here or let the Chancellor near his brother. Buir had been sending the very bad vibes.
"Well I hardly think an innocent invite to a small thank you party is pressuring." Sheev says trying to stop the side-eyes the senators are now giving him.
Anakin (who is now saying word for word what the Force is saying): "Calling someone every day for weeks and implying you'd cut funding to the temple if he didn't let you have access to me isn't an innocent invitation. Especially since you also implied you wanted more private meetings after."
Obi-wan sees the look of absolute rage on Sheevs face and decides it's time to go. He grabs his padwan and runs. Ignoring the instincts demanding he go back and EAT the Chancellor of the Republic.
The next day headlines all over the holonet are like 'Chancellor Palpatine on the run from authorities after being accused of trying to groom child'
Anakin to the council: "Buir says hes a Sith, so your welcome."
Obi-wan also in the council chamber: "Oh! So THATS why i had the strong urge to eat him."
The council sits in horrified silence for a while. Until Yoda sighs and says he'll be taking another vacation to talk to the force.
Sidious still tries for the Clone Wars. Only the Force is like not about that. They like how things are chill right now. Their kids are having fun doing Jedi things.
They have Obi-wan and Anakin find Kamino 3 years early. Both Anakin and Obi-wan kick Jango and the other trainers off planet. These clones are their family now. Looks like the jedi are getting a lot of new members. Just gotta get these chips out first.
The war still breaks out. Palpatine is head of the Separatists. Angry that his clone army was stolen he commissioned droids to replace them. His plan now is to crush the republic and jedi with brute force instead of a carefully executed betrayal, not hiding that he's a sith at this point.
Ahsoka is not the Forces child. At first. The council gives this feral child to Anakin to take care of and train praying that they will both mellow out. Shes perfect. Shes the same brand of disaster that the rest of them are. The force is constantly nagging at Anakin to give her sweets and wrap her in soft blankets and teach her how to stab better. Anakin learns very quickly that a feral Togruta with a laser sword hopped up on sugar isn't a great idea. That maybe listening to the eldritch being with no physical body for the sugar high togruta to latch onto with their teeth isn't the best plan for raising a child. How did Obi-wan manage this?
Obi-wan, having flashbacks to his padwan changing shape into a horrible nightmare fueled beast in the dead of night before crawling into Obi-wans bed or lighting a man on fire with his mind for flirting with Obi-wan too long or the time he simply tore a hole in reality to get another slice of cake, laughs and laughs and laughs. Cody pats him on the back. Clearly his adopted jetii'vod is having a breakdown.

Guess what time it is? It’s rant about Percy Weasley time!
No one will ever convince me that Percy wasn’t a spy during the war. There’s nothing in the canon sources that disproves this theory (not that I’d really care if there was, because I would just ignore it, but that’s neither here nor there).
The only “evidence” that he wasn’t a spy is two quotes from the text. This one:
“What made you see sense, Perce?” inquired George.
“It’s been coming on for a while,” said Percy, mopping his eyes under his glasses with a corner of his traveling cloak. “But I had to find a way out and it’s not so easy at the Ministry, they’re imprisoning traitors all the time. I managed to make contact with Aberforth and he tipped me off ten minutes ago that Hogwarts was going to make a fight of it, so here I am.”
I’d argue that this quote actually supports him being a spy more than not. I don’t think he was a spy in the beginning (when he initially left his family), but rather became one later when he realized his mistake and the ramifications of what was happening. The text above shows that he couldn’t get out of the ministry, so he had two main options: accept what was going on and do nothing about it (I’ll talk more about that later) or become a spy to help the cause.
The quote also says that he made contact with Aberforth, but it doesn’t say when. It says that Aberforth tipped him off ten minutes ago about the battle, but that doesn’t mean that they weren’t in contact before that (and in fact, it would be a very unlikely coincidence if the first time Percy reached out to Aberfoth just happened to be hours before the final battle). It’s vague about the initial contact date, so it’s highly possible that Percy has been feeding information to Aberfoth for months at that point.
The other quote that people use to argue that Percy wasn’t a spy is this one:
“I was a fool!” Percy roared, so loudly that Lupin nearly dropped his photograph.
“I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a – a –”
“Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron,” said Fred. Percy swallowed.
“Yes, I was!”
This doesn’t disprove that he was a spy. If he didn’t become one until later on (like I assume), then he would have still felt responsible for his choice to leave his family, so therefore, he still felt that the apology was necessary. Plus, they were about to fight in a major battle; they didn’t have an unlimited amount of time to discuss what they had all been up to, and that would not have been a quick conversation anyway.
His family might not even believe him at first, and he had no proof of what he was saying (since spies usually only have 1 or 2 points of contact, and Aberforth was not in the same room at the time). He very possibly just wanted to reunite and mend bridges with his family before it was too late (because he knew he could die during this battle), and then he’d deal with the specific details later when they had time (if they survived).
I also think it’s telling that Percy was able to keep his job as the personal assistant to the Minister of Magic even when death eaters took over the Ministry. Yes, Voldemort tried to keep the coup mostly silent, so he may have thought that keeping Percy as the assistant would help ease the transition, but it really wouldn’t have made a difference; no one was paying attention to whether or not the new Minister of Magic replaced the old assistant with someone he knew better.
It’s also possible that the death eaters just didn’t see Percy as a threat, but that seems suspicious. They saw everyone as a threat, and as the assistant to the Minister, Percy’s position would have given him unique access to a lot of important information that Voldemort would not want to fall into the wrong hands. Percy may have been estranged from his family, but he was still related to practically half of the Order of the Phoenix, and the possibility that he would betray the death eaters by reconciling with his family and passing on sensitive information was an unnecessary risk, especially when they could have easily replaced him.
So why did they keep him there if they didn’t have a good reason to trust his loyalty (in their minds)? I personally think it’s because Percy had to fake his devotion to the cause, and he clearly did so well enough for them to believe it. Earning your enemy’s trust is crucial for any spy, and it seems like Percy managed that.
To touch back upon my earlier comment, Percy knew the death eaters had taken over the ministry by the 7th book - he even admitted it. He wanted out, but he couldn’t get out. So how do we know that he didn’t just stay quiet and keep his head down; that he didn’t just go with the status quo? Because that’s not Percy.
This is the same guy who took points away from his own house when someone broke the rules, because it was only fair and the right thing to do. It’s not just because he followed rules blindly (we know that he didn’t because he gambled over a Quidditch game in his 7th year). He was in a serious relationship with a muggle-born, and now the ministry is sending innocent muggle-borns to Azkaban, so there’s no way that he would consider that the “right” thing to do.
Percy didn’t hesitate to run straight into danger during the Quidditch World Cup when there was an attack, despite the personal risk, and he clearly wasn’t hesitating to join the final battle against Voldemort either, even though he just said how dangerous it would be for him to be declared a traitor (in case the good guys lost). He is not a coward.
Are you honestly telling me that he would just sit back and do nothing about the horrors being perpetrated because it was too risky? Nah, I’m not buying that.
In conclusion, I don’t care what JKR says - Percy was a spy, and she just didn’t bother to flesh out that storyline.
Do you think Percy moved back into the Burrow, or did he while reconciling with his family, still decide to live in his flat? Like maybe to try and find his own self. As I feel like everything that happened in order of the phoenix to Deathly Hallows needed to happen for him to grow. I mean if Voldy never came back and he never had a conflict with his family he wouldn't of changed for the better.
No, I don't think Percy moved back to the Burrow (because he's already happy living with his fiancé Oliver Wood). In all seriousness, I don't think he would because his family stifled his ambition by dismissing his accomplishments. Overall, his parents did not facilitate a supportive environment for Percy. If the Grangers had treated Hermione the way the Weasleys did Percy, actively belittling her academic ambition and achievements, the fandom would have rioted, but that's neither here or there. Yeah, siblings tease each other, but not to that extent. It's much more normal to congratulate them, not tear them down. Source: does have a sibling. And other life experiences: friends with siblings.
And I agree that Percy did need to leave the Burrow and have his absolutely disastrous experience with Fudge to grow, but not in the same way that you (or others) might think. I think that the Burrow was an unhealthy environment for Percy - for the majority of the Weasley children, actually. Charlie and Bill and Fred and George all left the second they could, and if that's not telling, I don't know what is. My thoughts on the Weasley parents' less than stellar parenting techniques can be found in a more than two thousand word discussion between Ginny and Percy in my novella-length story, a study of cracked gold. But in short: Arthur was absent and treated Muggles not as real people but a spectacle with very rigid views (yes, he was prejudiced against muggles: look up implicit bias and how harmful the objectificiation of minorities is, even if it is in a positive skew). And Molly was incredibly prejudiced with severe internalised misogyny (thanks, Queen TERF) and treated her children favourably and yelled at them, frequently.
My dad is one of six, and my mum is one of four, so I know what large families are like. I know what healthy families are like. They are not like the Weasleys: it is just in contrast to the Dursleys, they shine. They meet the material needs of their children, mostly (Ron's wand aside), but their emotional needs are clearly suffering. Children are not there to fit parents' neat little picture, but as people who need nourishing and space to flourish. Molly and Arthur don't allow their children true individuality and it is harmful, incredibly so.
Anyway, getting back to the actual point of your question, I think Percy did change for the better because he was no longer under the influence of his family. Yes, I think realising the extent of corruption in the Ministry probably made him more cynical/pessimistic/activist, but I don’t think he was unaware that Fudge wasn’t a perfect specimen (see: this meta here). But I think that Percy not being constantly belittled for being himself and being different [autistic, likely, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he also had anxiety], allowed him to grow comfortable with himself and perhaps not so dependent on external validation and more able to rely on other people. In my personal headcanon, along with Oliver being a great support system, he also becomes close with Sirius and Remus, who, despite being lowkey disasters, are good examples of healthy adults/mentors and support that Percy desperately lacked. I also see Andromeda Tonks being a good mentor to the Weasley family (as Tonks is Charlie's best friend) for healthy intergenerational relationships are snazzy.
Percy leaving his family and 'siding' with the Ministry was good for him. He would have gained a lot of valuable (if mildly traumatic) experience as an assistant to the Minister of Magic and would have been in an incredibly valuable position during the war to help vulnerable people such as muggleborns. But the real reason, I think, he was allowed to flourish and make mistakes, was because he was not being constantly negatively scrutinised by his family and instead surrounded himself with a positive support network.
So yeah, you can say that by leaving home, Percy became his better self. Consequent to this growth, I don't think he would have gone back.
Percy Weasley; My thoughts
Hello!
This is basically going to be me ranting about Percy Weasley, and I am a fan of this man, btw. There might be future add-ons to this, but idk yet.

When you wanna make a coherent post, but your mind’s beta reader is grammarly
Nothing hits me harder than realizing that in Star Wars, whatever is canon is whatever hurts Obi Wan Kenobi worse. Like please stop hurting this man. He’s already traumatized enough.
Me: Caring for fictional characters is stupid! They’re not even real! I don’t know why people care so much about them.
Also me, the entire time watching Obi Wan Kenobi: *tenderly* sir please. Just take a nap. Just a little rest. please. I love you so much.
Eddie did not die in Dustin’s arms to distract the bats from Steve, Robin, and Nancy so that way they could kill Vecna for y’all to disrespect him by saying that his death and character arc were meaningless
nothing in the world makes less sense than toothbrush not being teethbrush.
God may be dead but his excuses sure aren’t.
