Recs and Reviews

Oh boy, you'll hurt for Obi in this one.[1]

Qui-Gon’s decision to train Anakin forces Obi-Wan to make a painful decision of his own. Angst and drama are plentiful here in this alternate re-telling of TPM. Beautifully written, thoughtful, long and satisfying. One of Qor Ynn’s best.

Excerpt:

But Obi-Wan just couldn’t shake the feeling of dread; in fact it only got stronger. His flash right now while tapping into the Force confirmed the source of his disquiet right inside that all-connecting-power, the itch in the back of his mind warning him of something hovering behind them, ready to strike.

And the boy from Tatooine was the reason, the hub, the eye of the storm.

He blinked up at Qui-Gon and saw him lost in thought, oblivious to his padawan’s turmoil. The warm red light illuminated the older man’s face, rinsing out shadows and lines and Obi-Wan’s heart twitched again, whispering: How I love you; and the feeling was agony. As if he had heard, his master turned to him and his soft eyes locked with Obi-Wan’s. But whatever Qui-Gon saw in the younger man’s features it obviously wasn’t the naked love and boundless devotion Obi-Wan felt.

“You still have much to learn, my young Apprentice.”[2]
