(If you have suggestions, please drop me a line, I love au with all my weird little heart)
Curse of Ma'at's Temple [AO3]
Modern AU; Obi-wan and Maul are rival Egyptology professors on the dig of a lifetime. Obi-wan/Maul, ongoing.
Series: Witness Me [AO3]
In the aftermath of Naboo, Maul was found and imprisoned by the Jedi. Maul, eventually, heals; Obi-wan learns how to be a better, more accepting person. Features a host of beautifully flesh-out clone OCs. The author has a truly marvelous handle on all the characters involved-- in particular I really enjoy their take on Anakin "Cool motive, still murder" Skywalker (plus their uncompromising yet sympathetic calling-out of the jedi as a whole). Obi-wan/Maul, ongoing.
Mercy is the Mighties' Jewel [AO3]
Modern spy AU. Ventress and Kenobi hate each other; this does not preclude them from having lots of sex. Ventress/Obi-wan, complete.
Outer Rim [AO3]
Pacific Rim fusion. Every single thing hurts and absolutely nothing is okay, but gorgeously written. Gen, complete.
Language Barriers [AO3]
This fic has a lot of layers to its AU. In no particular order: a) soulmates and soulmarks b) what if the clones were more overtly sith-y? and c) a/b/o dynamics (which are handled very well and interestingly). Obi-wan/Rex, complete.
A Star to Steer By [AO3]
Crossover/fusion with Stargate. Jedi are go'uld! Clones are still clones! Jack O'Neill is having the worst day! (Rest assured, one does not need familiarity with the Stargate franchise to enjoy-- I love this fic and don't know jack shit, for one.) Gen, ongoing.
Kind, Sober, and Fully Dressed [AO3]
The Brooklyn 99 fusion nobody really asked for but is deeply hilarious nonetheless. Rex/Obi-wan, complete.
Series:Through a Mirror Darkly [AO3]
A What-If AU where Jinn is a sith pretending to be a jedi. Obi-wan argues him into taking him on as an apprentice anyway, because even being secret sith is better than the agricorps. Gen, ongoing.
Series: Re-Entry [AO3]
This fic is not what I would necessarily call good, but it is engaging and an extremely good primer for EU/Legends as they relate to the fall of the Republic. If you don't know diddly squat about Star Wars, start here, it's faster than reading all the source material. Plus, the premise (Obi-wan dies and is sent back in time to Fix Things) makes the Obi-wan/Jinn pairing much less squicky than I usually find it. Obi-wan/Qui-gon, ongoing.
On Ebon Wings, Ere I Breathe [AO3]
Same author as above, and honestly I think better written. Shorter, if nothing else. Fusion with The Crow-- Obi-wan dies, comes back, gives everybody heart attacks, fixes thing. Obi-wan/Jinn, complete.
