Harry looks like James but he has all of Lily’s facial expressions
He has her “duck and cover” temper too
And her sense of justice and her total obliviousness to the person crushing on him
Hegets his flying skills from James ofc but also his sense of humour and his loyalty
He inherits potions skills from both of them but doesn’t realise until he suddenly no longer has Snape as a teacher
His nosiness and investigative thing comes from Lily. The way he goes about finding out these things is all James
His Defense skills come from the Potter family even though his dad was actually better at transfiguration
He and his mum have the same “disgusted” face and he would be horrified to know that they share it with Petunia
His paternal grandmother was born and brought up in India until she was 21 - at which point she moved to England, promptly fell in love with Fleamont Potter and immediately married him bc like hell was she going to marry the racist piece of shit that her parents wanted her to
She was descended from a distant branch of the Avery family that moved to India following the British Invasion and never returned
He’s very bi.
He doesn’t notice this until he’s been married to Ginny for 10 years
Ginny is very surprised that Harry didn’t know he was attracted to men since she’s known since he was in fourth year (more on lgbt+ in the wizarding world later)
In a world where Harry is female he discovers that he’s bi a lot earlier due to neither Cho nor Ginny being shy about the fact that they find him as attractive as he finds them and bc Ginny is many things but all of them are Weasley
Harry’s kids have plenty of Nanas and Grannys (Nana Andy and Nana Molly and Professor Granny Minnie and Granny ‘Gusta and Nana Cissy (when she’s feeling generous and only bc her sister begged her) and Granny Tuney (once they’re all teenagers)) but only one living Gramps: Arthur Weasley (Nanny Lily, God-Nana Alice, Grandpa James, God-Gramps Sirius and Grandfather Regulus (Kreacher would not stand for a less dignified form of address) are all commonly mentioned and talked about and their graves are all visited but none of them talk back)
There are four Potter kids: Teddy, the eldest, who had other parents first but only ever knew his Nana and his Dad and his Mum; Jamie, the second eldest, who takes after both of his namesakes in terms of theoretical mischief making but neither when it comes to practice; Al, the youngest boy who takes after his God-Gramps and immediately befriends kids as willing to blow things up as he is; and Lily-Lu, the baby of the family, who uses this status to get away with murder and is the true heir of the Marauders and the Weasley twins
Teddy gets the Marauder’s Map when he goes to Hogwarts. Jamie nicks the invisibility cloak out of Harry’s desk when he goes. Al is basically indifferent but does occasionally blackmail his siblings for use of one or the other. Lily-Lu somehow has both when she starts. No one knows how. Jamie is very irritated by this fact. She lets her brothers use them if they tell her why and ask nicely.
Teddy is rebellious and mischievous. He is also somehow both prefect and Head Boy. Teddy is also the good child. Harry looks back on Teddy’s rebellious teenage phase fondly when his other kids reach teenagerhood.
Jamie is quidditch mad. He is not above pranks but his world revolves around quidditch. Harry has vivid flashbacks to his time playing under Oliver Wood.
Al cannot be left alone. He especially cannot be left alone with any combination of Rose, Scorpius, and Daisy. Harry despairs. He was surely not that bad when he was a teenager.
Lily is an angel. She doesn’t break rules and is always helpful without being asked doesn’t get caught. She is a terror but the only person who’s ever caught her in wrongdoing is Uncle Neville. She does not try to lie to him again. Her parents know. That doesn’t mean they can catch her. Harry knows she didn’t get this from him.
The Potter household is always noisy and none of the kids can be left unsupervised.
All four kids adore Kreacher. He adores them all right back and spoils them rotten half the time unless specifically told otherwise
Winky ends up as a Potter House Elf. Somehow. She isn’t as happy as she was with the Crouches but is a great deal happier than she was in Hogwarts. She’s a lot stricter with the kids than Kreacher is. But she has a soft spot for Master Al
The Potter family has three dogs and an owl. A German Shepherd-Labrador mix called Snuffles, a brown Husky mix called Moo (he was originally called Moony but Jamie couldn’t pronounce it properly), and a black Wolfhound mix called Paddy (Al couldn’t say Padfoot and the name stuck). The owl is a tawny owl and is officially called Lord Thomas Dark Lordiness Riddle Jr Jr but only answers to Tommy (Ginny thought it was hilarious and Harry went along with it after seeing the humour. Ron, Hermione, Neville and Andromeda were horrified. Luna earnestly told them she thought it was an excellent name. No one else ever found out the origins of “Tommy”. Nearly everyone who knows goes to great lengths to keep it that way)
Teddy gets his own owl when he goes to Hogwarts. He calls her Pandora
Jamie spends an entire year trying to convince his parents that he should be able to take one of the dogs with him to Hogwarts. They point blank refuse. The last day before the express leaves he turns up in the kitchen with Harry’s enchanted Hungarian Horntail model and asks if he can take her as his pet (he’s named her Thorns the Glorious). Ginny throws her hands up and basically yells “FINE!” like a teenager
Al is not allowed a pet. He nearly killed the owl by accident with one of his experiments. He is not allowed a pet. He’s fine with this. He’d forget to feed it anyway.
Lily-Lu spends a not-insignificant amount of time trying to decide between a cat and a snake. Both of them eat rats. She eventually decides on a part-kneazle that basically pounces on her in “Magical Menangerie”. She names her Tiger. Tiger is terrifying
Teddy is a Hufflepuff, like his first Mum. He’s a chaser like his second Mum. He has his second Dad’s temper but rarely lets it out. His first dad refused to judge people by their appearances or what other people thought and he does so too. This is something his other parents had to work at but that comes naturally to him.
He loves chocolate frogs more than almost anything.
He’s been in love with Victoire for longer than he’s known what that means
He is addressed as Mr Potter throughout his school years and the surname he uses for his Auror application is Potter. The Lupin in front is private and only used when his full name is required or if he’s in trouble
Jamie is a Gryffindor, like his parents, his biological grandparents and his namesakes. Sometimes he’s a little disappointed that he isn’t a Hufflepuff like Teddy
He’s a chaser on his house team and becomes captain in his fifth year
He always asks for Bertie Botts whenever they have sweets. He knows which ones are the nasty flavours but when his siblings are upset he’ll make sure that they only get the nice ones and he gets all the horrible ones. This never fails to make them smile.
He mocks and bullies Al quite a bit but the only time someone else tried they ended up in St Mungo’s and he was grounded for a year. He doesn’t regret this
He wants to play quidditch professionally and has always been lowkey disappointed that the Holyhead Harpies will never be an option for him
Al is a Ravenclaw. He follows Teddy and Jamie everywhere to the point that they want to scream and tie him up so he’ll stop and when he can’t follow them it’s his parents or his Nana Andy or his Nana Molly or his Gramps. His first word is “why”. This word also happens to be his favourite word. He is very confused when he is sorted into Ravenclaw. He is the only one.
His best friend is his cousin Rose. On the Hogwarts Express he sees a small blonde boy trying to avoid upper years. “This will be my person” he decides. This boy is Scorpius Malfoy. Rose is her parent’s daughter, so when her best friend decides to adopt the strange little boy that doesn’t want to make friends, she immediately decides to befriend him too. These three befriend muggleborn Daisy Dursley, fellow Ravenclaw, approximately 6 weeks into the year. There is a very hasty and strained family reunion on the platform at the start of the Christmas hols. The Potters end up at Privet Drive for New Year (conspicuously missing a walrus-mustasched man). The relationship quickly gets less strained after the first time Daisy goes to the Potter’s house and nearly blows it up.
Unlike his siblings and their friends, Al does not make mischief when left unsupervised. Al experiments. It takes exactly one visit from Rose, Scorpius and Daisy for such visits to always be supervised. There was fire. There were explosions. More than one person escaped harm by the skin of their teeth. No one likes to talk about it.
Experiments in the Potter, Malfoy, Granger-Weasley, and Dursley households are BANNED.
Al loves sugar quills. Victoire thinks it’s adorable. Al pointedly refuses to suck on them in her presence
Lily-Lu is in Slytherin. This surprises no one.
By the time she’s in third year she lowkey runs the dungeons. Professor Greengrass couldn’t be more proud
The Scamander twins are her best friends/loyalest minions despite being in the year below, nearly two years younger, and not in Slytherin
Her favourite sweets are ice mice. She tried to throw Jamie down the moving staircase once, when he transfigured them into real mice.
She’s been terrified of rats and mice ever since she was little when she found out that Peter Pettigrew was able to turn into one. No amount of convincing her that he was long dead ever helped
She’s the most stubborn person in the family and also unable to refuse a dare if it comes from her brothers. Teddy and Al are reasonable about this. Jamie abuses this fact mercilessly
She will continue with charades to the point of ridicule just to prove that she can
That glow up! First picture was taken in 2012, second picture today. Guess which one is happier?
Craziest hcs for commander cody or hcs no one would expect for him please & much thankyouness🧡
Craziest headcanons for Commander Cody (or hcs no one would ever expect) lmaoooo I don’t know if these are crazy but they’re what I got
Commander Cody is absolutely the funniest Commander there is
Going from that, it’s because he’s unhinged. Everyone would expect it to be Wolffe with his teeth, Bly with his lovesick tendencies or even Fox with his deadpan humor, but Between having to deal with Obi-Wan “I’m going to flirt with every enemy I have and lose my lightsaber” Kenobi and Anakin “violence mwahahahha” Skywalker, Cody had to compensate
Alongside that, he was Obi-Wan’s Commander when Anakin was still a Padawan so at that point, it was either babysit Anakin or be just as unhinged to pull him back
Anakin still can never get anything past Cody
His raised eyebrow has Anakin spilling secrets faster than anything Obi-Wan ever could have done
Cody hates tea. He hates it with a passion and it’s only because he’s friends with Obi-Wan that he doesn’t automatically spit it out
That being said, since Anakin also hates tea, whenever Cody thinks Anakin needs a punishment, he’ll just give him tea and raise an eyebrow
He still does it even when Anakin is a General
Cody started kicking droids when he had to save Obi-Wan from an attack and he had no blasters and a broken hand
It was worth it
Anakin jokes that he was part droid since it never seemed to hurt him and he replied back with “I mean you could with your robotic arm”
Obi-Wan had to discourage Anakin from punching droids
Cody eggs him on when Obi-Wan isn’t looking
Cody knew about Padme and Anakin’s secret marriage within the first week he met Anakin
He let Anakin know with a “I hope you treat her well” when Anakin finished his knighting trials
Cody made sure that Rex was put Captain of the 501st because he knew Anakin would watch his back
Also he wanted to see how long it would take for Rex to break out of the fold of not being good enough because of his blonde hair
Cody once put itching powder in Wolffe’s blacks when he got back from the Malevolence incident to distract him and get him out of his room
It worked
Cody had a black eye for two weeks
Wolffe thanked him later in the war for it because he didn’t know if he would have continued on or tried to March on with his Pack
Ponds tried to explain to Mace Cody’s humor only for the man to say “I see”
Cody made sure to never joke around Mace so that Ponds would seem crazy by his General
He ended up breaking that silent dare when Boba tried to attack Mace
He scooped up the cadet (Boba’s not a cadet but he’s the size of one so Cody doesn’t think it matters all that much) and said “sorry cadet but we have a height restriction. No one shorter than 4 feet is allowed near a Jedi”
Boba hisses like a cat at him and tries to scratch him
“I’m older than you!”
“I’m taller than you.”
He ended up bringing Boba on the ship to avoid the Chancellor from putting him on trial
Boba didn’t appreciate it until Cody gave him a gun and took him on a “specs” mission
It wasn’t a real mission but Cody wasn’t gonna tell Boba that
“Shoot those droids and well leave when you’re not angry anymore”
They didn’t leave till 6 hours later
Boba tried to run away 12 times during his stay with Cody and Cody caught him all 12 times
The 13 time, Cody just gave him a blaster and said the 212th will be there for him if he needs it
Boba didn’t leave despite the opening
He now hangs in the vents and protects the ship when they’re on the ground
Cody owns a handmade slingshot
He uses it to pelt Rex and other clones when he’s bored or annoyed at them
He used it once on Fox and Fox got him back with his own slingshot
He once stole one boot from each of his batchmates at the beginning of the war after they got their paint on it
He wears them when he feels nostalgic
He stole one of Rex’ when he become Captain of 501st
He used to jump out of ships when Anakin was a Padawan to help teach him to catch him before he would splat on the ground
This is why Anakin does it to Rex because he thought since Rex is close to Cody, he wouldn’t mind
Rex does mind
A lot
He never figured out that Cody was the one to ingrain this habit in Anakin
Cody would still jump out of ships if the 212th and the 501st work together
Cody can do a handstand and can even balance on one hand
He believes this to be his greatest achievement
Cody likes to window shop
It’s inconvenient to do when they are at war but if there’s a shop nearby where the 212th is stationed, he’ll get souvenirs for his batchmates
Cody does not get paid yet he still somehow has credits
This is because he made a deal with Hondo to give him credits and he’ll tell him where the best rum is
This is why Hondo kidnaps Obi-Wan a lot
When Cody heard about Obi-Wan “dying”, he didn’t believe it and just told Rex to tell him when Obi-Wan is back - after all, it was his shore leave
The first time Cody met the Bad Batch was on Kamino and it was on complete accident
He ran into them with Nala Se and from their face, he could only assume that she was about to decom them
He stepped in
She let him train them for two weeks to improve their scores and during that time, he got them to work as a team but most importantly, to realize that they are vod as well and vod stick together
He gave them Fox’ and his own personal comm number in case they ever needed anything
He also makes sure to include them in his souvenir gift list
(He’s also the reason Crosshair is a Swiftie skjskjskj - I’m sorry I had to add that in)
He considers Echo and Fives his little cousins due to Rex adopting them and spoils them whenever he sees them
Meaning he tells them all the best prank ideas and covers for them and gives them any item they ask for when they meet
He is the reason they got away with dying Rex’ hair blue
As well as Anakin’s
And Obi-Wan’s
But he’s too smart for them and switched their bottles with his and they ended up accidentally dying their own hair when they targeted him
Cody will barge into Fox’ office randomly when he’s on shore leave and forcibly get Fox to rest
He’ll bribe the other Commanders with alcohol when he comes
Thorn is an expensive Vod though and demands more than alcohol
He is the reason Cody had to start a little black market within the GAR
All that just to spend time with Fox
It’s worth it every time
Cody once tried to matchmake Bly and Aayla at the start of the war because he couldn’t stand their lovesick looks
Turns out they have been dating since Bly got assigned to her and they just are lovesick with each other
Cody almost lost his lunch when he realized
Cody likes to check up on his batchmates when he can
And his batchmates’ Generals
And his batchmates’ General’s Padawan
This is how he was able to talk to Barriss before she did anything risky
He got Gree involved and they got her reassigned after being made a knight to a post where she can help clone medics with civilians and Vod
It wasn’t much but it was enough for her to feel like she is doing something right
He tries to check up on her when he can though Gree is the one she mainly talks to
Cody once convinced his batchmates to eat a bug after Anakin kept doing it as a Padawan
Cody also once drugged Obi-Wan when he stayed up a consistent 78 hours on a campaign
Cody has a count of how many times Obi-Wan has lost his lightsaber and his robes and has flirted with the enemy
Cody once punched Quinlan Vos in the stomach because the Jedi snuck up on him
Obi-Wan laughed
Quinlan got him back when he accidentally dropped one of Cody’s bottles of rum for Hondo
They had a prank war for a solid 7 months before Fox shut it down because he got caught in one of Cody’s brilliant ideas
On the bright side, it revealed Palpatine as a Sith
On the down side, he ended up losing control to the chip and being knocked into a coma for 4 months to finally gain back control
Yea that’s all I have ( @here-comes-the-moose if you don’t mind, i borrowed your HC of Crosshair being a Swiftie and mentioned it here)

Part 4/7 - Previous / Next / First
Track: ‘Unstoppable’ - Sia
Bly had never really argued with his general like this, but he supposed that came with falling in love with them. The second Rex had lit those lightsabers he had wheeled on Aayla and asked for her saber, which she had not exactly taken well.
“You’ll die!” She shouted as she watched Rex fly towards the Sith and surely a quick demise.
“General please! He's my little brother, I have to try!”
“I-” the twi'lek paused, her anger dissipating. Tears sprung to her eyes as the fighting lulled for a moment and time seemed to slow. “Bly, please, don’t leave me like this.”
Bly shook his head and quickly slid up close to her; always by her side. “I would never.”
Aayla took a deep breath. She watched as now Cody went flying towards his brother regardless of the danger, as Obi-wan no doubt had taught him. She could even just make out Plo Koon through the fighting, saber off and being offered to his commander.
The force was singing a battle cry, but it wasn’t meant for her.
Bly let out a grunt as the saber hilt was basically punched against his chest. He went to take it and felt Aalya's other hand fall over his on the saber, it now being cradled between them on the precipice of something important.
A beat passed as their eyes met. Even with the helmet Bly knew Aayla could always truly see him. “I love you,” he told her, raw and quiet.
She gave him a small smile in return. “I know."
And as Bly took off towards Ahsoka's unofficial launch pad, watching Wolffe go howling through the air, he knew she loved him too.
Possessive baby Anakin sounds so cute though. He just forgets all about Qui-Gon. Decides Obi-Wan HAS to be his master. Anyone asks him why? “Cause his glow is pretty.” I headcanon Ani can see the force around people when he wants too. Also I’m pretty sure that if Obi wasn’t grieving when poopytine came along he’d fight him.
Inhindsight someone really should have seen this coming even if theredhead had been standoffish, Anakin had been attached to the manlike a limpet for as much of the time as he could to the point whereObi-Wan was softening.
Itstill came as a surprise when Anakin said he wanted Obi-Wan as hismaster, the nine year old shuffling in close and wrapping his armstightly around the redheaded knight waist and holding on to the lostlooking man.
“YoungSkywalker, you do understand that while capable, Knight Kenobi hasonly just been knighted? He is not as experienced as master Jinn?”Plo questioned softly, one of the few councilor’s that had notfrightened Anakin as much as the others and therefore could stillsalvage a relationship. When the boy nodded, Plo tapped his clawstogether. “Then would you please tell us why you’re choosinghim?” Plo asked kindly.
Itwas not an insult of Obi-Wan’s skills, it was an honest question ofwho had the longest experience so Obi-Wan didn’t take offense to iteven if it stung a little bit considering he was the one who hadtaken care of the Sith on Naboo while Qui-Gon had been knocked out onthe walkway by said Sith.
Restinghis head on Obi-Wan’s hip while clinging to him, Anakin blinked atthe council. “Cause he glows, just like mom did… only brighterand that feels safe.” Anakin turned his head upwards to look at theone he had chosen as a master, smiling happily up at him withoutreally being aware of what his statement brought.
“Seehim you can? Glow he does?” Yaddle leaned forward, her smooth voicequite the contrast to the croaking of Yoda.
Peeringshyly at her, Anakin nodded. “Everyone glows but Obi-Wan glows thebest…” He glanced apologetically at the still gobsmacked lookingQui-Gon. “Sir Obi-Wan glows softly but warmly? And it wraps aroundme…” He looked up at Obi-Wan. “Please can I stay with you?”He questioned hopefully.
Lickinghis lips nervously, not looking at Qui-Gon at all, Obi-Wan insteadknelt down to give Anakin his full attention. “You heard what theothers said right Anakin? I’m just now become a knight. I’m not…I haven’t been anyone’s teacher before… it might be bette-”
“ButI want to stay with you.” Anakin cut in, his blue eyes wide andround.
Avery small part of Obi-Wan tried not to feel vindictive, the idea oftaking the opportunity from Qui-Gon that he had flung Obi-Wan asidefor.
Thatpart puttered and died as he looked into the very alive and veryhopeful blue eyes in front of him, uncertainty and faint hope risingin his own chest.
MaybeObi-Wan could be a better master to Anakin than what Qui-Gon had beenthese last few weeks to him?
Raisinghis hands, he took one of Anakin’s small ones in his, gentlyturning it over to stare at little scars and callouses. “…If thecouncil grants me permission and you truly wish to be trained by meAnakin, I would be honored to train you to knighthood AnakinSkywalker.” He murmured before looking past the boy to the councilmembers.
Anakinturned quickly, eyes wide before eeping in excitement when there wereslow, cautious nods around, throwing himself at Obi-Wan to sling hisarms around the redhead’s neck, pressing in close.
Hisexcitement rolled across everyone, Anakin’s untrained and powerfulstrength practically a bulldozer to anyone but training would helpthat.
Tighteninghis grasp, Obi-Wan wondered where he would go from today, if he couldreally do this only to look up and meet Qui-Gon’s betrayed eyes.‘…It’s not so fun to be cast aside, is it master.’ He thoughtspitefully but didn’t say, instead tightening his grasp on hispadawan.
Thepadawan who had chosen Obi-Wan on a rainy Coruscant day, the waterpattering against the outside in a gentle rythme and Obi-Wan knewthat the council would be watching them, would be watching thisapprenticeship.
Hedidn’t care.
Thisboy had chosen him and he had chosen Anakin and by the Force, he wasgoing to do his best by this boy, who had come from a less thanstellar situation to become something more than what he had oncebeen.
“Ifthe council will dismiss us, we’ll go get our new quarterssettled.” Obi-Wan stated fondly, half for Anakin and half for thecouncil, smiling at Anakin when the boy pulled back to smile at him,blue eyes sparkling in excitement for the future.
“Goyou can, get your new padawan settled in you must… a long road youhave ahead of you.” Yoda finally croaked, giving his blessing onthe apprenticeship even as his eyes were faintly narrowed and hisears quivered.
Ohyes, Obi-Wan knew they would be watched but with his hand on Anakin’sshoulder, he lead the former slave out of the council chamber andinto their new life, ignoring Qui-Gon.
Maybeit was time for someone other than Obi-Wan to be cast aside.
I’ve decided that starting a 50k+ fanfic at 3 in the morning when you have to wake up early is not a rookie mistake but in fact a time honored tradition of ao3 veterans
Please?
The world basically being in quarantine is gonna make fanfiction writers real quick with their updates now, huh? I better see writers updating fics that haven’t been updated since fucking 2012, okay? Lets go
