[PODFIC] you said close your eyes and just believe by Spoofymcgee

Summary:

Author's Summary:

“What’s ‘this’?” Cody asks, turning the datapad over. It’s covered in numbers and names. He swipes down to see the title, the text of it not much larger than that of the body of the report. ‘Skills, Abilities and Specializations of Infantry Battalions’.

“I’m still learning,” Anakin says after a moment, voice cracking a little. “And I mess up a lot. More than Rex can make up for, more than anyone can. And it’s not enough, I know, but I’m trying.”

Cody nods, pretending that he isn’t choking up a little. “Okay. Okay. Come on, Charger’s on this shift and he makes the best caf. Can’t have a Jedi falling asleep on the bridge, bad for morale.”

Anakin pulls his wings into some semblance of order, catching up to Cody on unsteady legs. “Thanks,” he says, and neither of them acknowledge the tears at the corners of their eyes.

Notes:

Just came across this fic and was inspired by the widespread love for wingfic among the Taggle crowd to take a look! Ended up really enjoying the read and decided I absolutely had to pod it for one of the guards 💜

Shout out to “At least I’m not some gravel maggot with a glow stick far enough up my ass that I can’t recognize a person when I see one" for tripping me up so bad it took me 7+ tries to actually fucking say it right 😂 I counted while I was editing. Great line, though!
