Hi! For the anon who asked and for those who don’t celebrate any holiday on the fourth Thursday of November or those who just want to read some good STAR WARS - OBI-WAN KENOBI fic, here is a list of long fic recs! While he may not be the only central figure, each of them has Obi-Wan as a central character (and often the central one, because I know what I like) and is far from a complete list (as there are so many I’m still reading, too!) but should give you something to munch on today if you’re hungry for fic recs instead of specific food.
Because if there’s one thing I’m thankful for on this day, it’s OBI-WAN KENOBI.
