* TransplantedCharacterFic: Several important ''Clone Wars'' characters (plus the Larses and Luke, who have no relation to Anakin at all) are transplanted into a mostly mundane late 1940s pseudo-American coastal setting, with Jango Fett and his Clones, the Togruta people, Asajj Ventress, and an unseen Count Dooku getting reimagined as (also mostly mundane) merfolk.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: A roughly teenaged Luke shows up being raised by his aunt and uncle the Larses, but they have no relation to Anakin at all, and this Luke is much too old to be Anakin's kid, in any case.

* CommonalityConnection: Obi-Wan and Wolv start becoming friends when they bond over their mutual traumas and terrible experiences in war.



* EyeScream: Wolv loses an eye just like in canon, but here it's because he was tortured during his time as a prisoner of war.



* NotNowKiddo: {{Downplayed}}, Obi-Wan did take note of his dog Boga's agitation when he goes to swim in the sea, but thought it was because of her usual nervousness around water. By the time he decided to listen to her warning, the merfolk assassins had already gotten close enough to attack.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The premise is that Cody, plus a handful of clone troopers, the Togruta, and Asajj Ventress and Count Dooku are all merfolk in this story. In a somewhat obscure reference, Boga, the varactyl mount that Obi-Wan had in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' during the Battle of Utapau at the end of the Clone Wars, shows up here as a stray dog.

Shes Got Legs is currently a disambiguation


* LegFocus: Cody is fascinated by Obi-Wan's legs, especially once their relationship turns intimate and he comes to love how Obi-Wan wraps his legs around his tail in an embrace. Some members of Obi-Wan's personal merfolk guard detail evidently think the same and are constantly hiding their embarrassment whenever they watch Obi-Wan swim.



* ShesGotLegs: Gender-inverted version; being merfolk, Cody is fascinated by Obi-Wan's legs, especially once their relationship turns intimate and he comes to love how Obi-Wan wraps his legs around his tail in an embrace.

So, with all he can, he begs Obi-Wan to stay and wait for him to return, so that they can get married afterward.

* PornWithPlot: There is a good amount of ''very'' explicit sex scenes, but they only come after a lot of character building and emotional bonding between Cody and Obi-Wan- the sex scenes, in turn, serve the dual purpose of emotional resolution as well as just being sexy. Obi-Wan getting a handjob means that he's breaking through his longtime internalized homophobia, and coming to realize that the one he's fallen in love also loves him back.
