Fanning the Flame

Summary:

Just months away from entering confinement with his fourth child, Ben Organa receives a rather unexpected guest—his great Uncle Ben Kenobi, a war hero and local Naboo legend. But dear Uncle Ben has come to tell a story, a secret story that may change the way Ben considers his entire life…past, present, and future.

Both prequel and sequel, this angst-filled continuation piece to “Lighting the Fuse” examines Ben and Hux’s marriage several years in as well as exploring the relationship between Ben’s grandparent Anakin Skywalker and his secret lover, Obi-wan Kenobi. There is significant melodrama, angst, and hurt/comfort with a bittersweet HEA. This is not a standalone.

Notes:

I wrote "Lighting the Fuse" years ago, and I've considered coming back to it for more a number of times, but I could never find the perfect story for them. And then this little muse hit me and suddenly, I couldn't stop opening my laptop and chipping away at it to reveal this piece you're about to read.

I would strongly advise you to read the first piece before jumping into this. The story structure is the same--alternating timelines dictated by "past" and "present" so you get a good idea of both couples' stories. This story is FINISHED and will be updated in two pieces. This first chapter is a list of trigger/content warnings. If you are easily disturbed by themes, I would recommend you peruse them. There will be spoilers.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Trigger/Content Warnings

Chapter Text

There is a significant number of warnings I felt warranted more than the tags. Please read thoroughly if you get triggered or have issues with these topics. There are pretty significant spoilers involved, so read at your own risk. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!

 

  • Ben wears gowns, corsets, and makeup—this is not a kink, this is a cultural practice as an Omegan queen. However, Ben is effeminate in many ways, and this is part of his personality.
  • Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics
  • BDSM elements
  • Mpreg
  • Mention of miscarriage
  • Sexual name calling (shutta “slut”, whore, etc.)
  • Explicit sexual content. Like some explicit smut in here.
  • Omegas have female anatomy. This means: Ben and Anakin have vaginas. They are graphically described, multiple times, with terminology like pussy, clit, cunt, etc. I swear to the sweet Lord, if you leave an ick comment about men having vaginas, I will hunt you down. This is your warning.
  • Exhibitionism and voyeurism
  • Mention of sexual assault (exact term used is “rape”, used to discuss minor characters’ actions in the past tense)
  • Mentions of slavery
  • Fucking machine/droid
  • Unexpected Heat
  • Fisting
  • Emotional abuse (not between Anakin and Obi-wan)
  • Graphic description of childbirth and body fluids (including vomiting)
  • Postpartum depression which is not handled well by most characters
  • Major character death (you won’t be too sad, don’t worry)
  • Interesting and debatable parenting skills
  • Obi-wan/others; Anakin/others (no cheating)
  • Subdrop/Aftercare
