Author	Topic: Threads of the Past (JA, time travel - Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin) - COMPLETE 6/3

	Loved this chapter. I loved that Obi and Qui were able to connect again and that Obi could tell him about his future, even if it doesn't make any difference, at least he tried. He knew with certainty that he would not be able to live with himself if he didn’t say the words that his heart had been bursting to say from the moment he had seen a very alive Qui-Gon set foot on Bandomeer. “Wait for me, Master.” It bubbled out freely, and Obi-Wan cupped his hand over his mouth as though the physical action could prevent him from divulging anything else. “What?” “Don’t run ahead of me,” Obi-Wan said firmly, looking straight into Qui-Gon’s eyes. “You will understand when the time comes.” Great job. -----signature----- Betrayal - http://boards.theforce.net/s/b1/10935143 updated 9/22/09 jedidas3's Master Merlin - Diplomatic Immunity - http://boards.theforce.net/nswff/b10808/30459852

	I read and re-read the post, and I just can't pick out a piece that I liked better than the rest. It was wonderfully written! The interactions between all the parties were perfect. Will young Obi-Wan speak with Anakin before they leave? Can hardly wait for the next part... -----signature----- Update 6/23/09 - Chap. 42 - Life Beyond the Code (OWK/Anakin) - Saga Update 9/3/08 - Strength to Begin Anew - (OWK/QGJ/Xan) - Saga Update 9/24/09 - Stuck in Yesterday - NM Sequel Update 10/15/09 - Somewhere in the Middle - (OWK/QGJ) - Before Saga

	[quote]The boy’s brows furrowed in confusion before he shook his head. “Great, I don’t give straight answers, just like Master Yoda, when I grow up.” [/quote] LOL! Anyway, I really liked the interaction between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. I haven't read JA, though I do have a rough idea of what their relationship was like during the series. Poor Obi.

	“Wait for me, Master.” It bubbled out freely, and Obi-Wan cupped his hand over his mouth as though the physical action could prevent him from divulging anything else. Oh I love it. We are all thinking that during that scene when we watch TPM. Obi-Wan and Anakin really have made hash out of the space-time continuum, but if you're going to fall through a mysterious anomaly one might as well make the most of it. -----signature----- Links to all fics -- http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=25405090&brd=10304&start=26223917 The Heart of the Jedi -- http://boards.theforce.net/b/b1/26013327 ---- Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, JA and everything you wanted to know about lightsabers

	Wow. This was so emotional. Loved the conversation between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. And am glad that Obi-Wan told Qui-Gon to wait for him - here's hoping that Qui-Gon remembers and do.... Loved how Qui-Gon was figuring it out by himself. In fear of repeating myself, but this must be SO unbelievably hard for Obi-Wan. I'm sure there's a great many things he wants to talk to Qui-Gon about, but feels he can't... Wonder how things will look if Obi-Wan and Anakin ever manages to get back home... -----signature----- Dark Lady of the DLC Fan Force Denmark I was there - FFEurope Meeting Stockholm 2005, Celebration Europe 2007, JediCon 2008, FFE Meeting Copenhagen 2009 Not to worry - we are still flying half a ship! http://swawakening.proboards.com/index.cgi

	Fifilla - I think they made the most out of the opportunity given to them. We will wait to see what the future holds. Valairy_Scot - I don't think Obi-Wan was anticipating how hard it would be to remain a Jedi master while interacting with his former master. And he definitely wasn't expecting Qui-Gon to call him, "Padawan." Gkilkenny - I just don't think Obi-Wan could have gone back to his time and been able to live with himself if he hadn't said anything. jedidas3 - Thanks so much. Even after a couple drafts, tweaking etc, it still makes me want to cry when I read through this. VaderLVR - We have more layers to go. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. Healer_Leona - Oh, I imagine young Obi-Wan still has much to learn, and being patient with Qui-Gon will be among those things to learn. At least he was warned. dianethx - It was good for them to be able to talk as master and padawan again, and I think Obi-Wan needed the guidance. Qui-GonJinn1 - I'm glad to know I can provoke tears. bek - I am sure Anakin and young Obi-Wan were up to no good. Those two would have made quite a pair. xxxkbunnies - I figure much had to change between the JA books and TPM. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan appear to be much closer there. ardavenport - One question still remains. What is the Force up to and why is it sending our guys through strange, mysterious anomalies? Qui-Gina-Jinn - I think Obi-Wan got to say what was most important to him. adawn - I guess I can't apologize for the sobby mess part. I loved writing that scene as much as I loved the coming scene. -----signature----- No Legacy So Rich : Xan,OC, Obi, Qui (12/19) Seekers, Not Saints: SW/TB crossover (8/12)

	Chapter 11 “Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.” “Pleased to meet you,” the boy beamed. “Wow! You're a Jedi too?” Worry etched the young Jedi’s features as he watched Qui-Gon send Anakin away so they could speak privately. “It really is him … Anakin.” “Yes.” Qui-Gon smiled fondly. The boy’s appearance was proof of who they had met on Bandomeer so many years before. The Jedi master took a deep breath before addressing the conflict he sensed within his apprentice. “What is it, Padawan?” “We need to be careful, Master,” Obi-Wan stated with firm conviction. “That thing you just fought – it’s what Anakin, the older one, warned me of in the hangar on Bandomeer before he left. It’s exactly as he described it.” “We will proceed carefully, Padawan.” An anguished sigh as Obi-Wan ran a hand through his hair. “I kept you in my sights the entire time we were on Naboo. I thought we had gotten passed the danger.” Colors swirled, distorted, mixing and mingling like a kaleidoscope as the fabric of time was stretched, bent, and formed into something new. Scenes of change continued to streak by like stars in hyperspace. “Master! Master!” Obi-Wan scrambled to his fallen master’s side, frustration bubbling over in heated tears. They had been thoroughly warned. Why hadn’t Qui-Gon listened? Obi-Wan began to channel healing energy into the dying Jedi’s body. “It is too late,” Qui-Gon said gently. “It's...” “No!” Obi-Wan’s lip trembled in denial as the fear that had haunted him since turning twenty-five years of age unfolded before his eyes. “Why? Why did you run ahead?” “Had to protect you – the Force willed it.” Qui-Gon reached up and wiped tears from the young man’s cheek. “You will train Anakin – you know that.” “Yes, Master,” Obi-Wan whispered. “I will train him.” “Proud … so proud of you.” Grief crashed in on Obi-Wan as he sensed his master’s life force dim before fading into darkness. *** A hushed cry of “No, Master,” brushed against Anakin’s consciousness. He began to stir from his light sleep. The chairs in the healers’ ward were barely comfortable for sitting, let alone sleeping. He shifted to find some semblance of comfort when he thought he heard the voice again. Eyes blinking open, he looked around the room. Obi-Wan lay where he had for two weeks, still, except for rapid movement beneath his eyelids. The healers were baffled as to why the Jedi master had not regained consciousness. “Anakin?” came a hoarse call. The Jedi padawan nearly tripped as he hurriedly stumbled to the sleep couch and his master’s side. “Master?” he asked with shaky relief. Obi-Wan turned his head to look at him. “Where are we? What happened?” “We flew back into the anomaly – you remember that much, don’t you?” Anakin held his breath until Obi-Wan nodded. The last thing he wanted was to find that his master had no memory of the events on Bandomeer. “Even with the repairs I made, the ship couldn’t handle it the second time around,” he continued. “We crash-landed on Bandomeer.” “I vaguely remember that,” Obi-Wan groaned. “You were injured pretty badly. You’ve been unconscious for two weeks.” “And you look like you’ve been sleeping in a chair for two weeks.” Anakin laughed, relieved his master’s sense of humor was still intact. “Yeah, mostly.” “I feel like I have been reliving the past – maybe I was.” “What do you mean, Master?” “Dreams, possibly visions. I’ve seen glimpses from my life, different from how I remember it. I don’t know if the Force was showing me changes in those events. It will take a lot of meditation to sort through everything.” Obi-Wan took a deep breath. Even the lingering warmth of pleasant memories was not a potent enough salve to sooth a dead bond. “Qui-Gon still died on Naboo,” the Jedi master murmured half as a statement, half as a question. Anakin bit down on his lip, fighting with pent up frustration and anger. He had gone against his master’s wishes and told a thirteen year old boy what he thought would help, but they should have told Qui-Gon. No, Obi-Wan should have told Qui-Gon. “Yes,” Anakin said in a whisper. Eyes slid shut as a silent war waged on Obi-Wan’s face. The Force descended down like a veil around the Jedi. Anakin caught a brief glimpse of grief before his master’s face morphed into Jedi calm. “No!” Anakin shouted. “Padawan?” Anakin watched the tremble of Obi-Wan’s hand, the uneasy movement of his throat as he swallowed. Still, nothing in the Force. With his own hands, he directed his master’s face toward him. “Don’t hide from me,” he demanded. “What are you talking about ..?” Anakin clenched his jaw, knowing he was teetering on the edge of insubordination. That didn’t usually matter to him, but this was too important, and he needed Obi-Wan to see that he wasn’t just being unruly. He took a deep, calming breath and lowered his voice. “Do you know what it is like to live with someone who is emotionless? To sometimes feel like what I have inside is going to overrun me and swallow me whole, but think the only person I trust would never understand? I mean, you showed nothing even at your own master’s funeral.” “Padawan …” “Listen!” he barked, then more softly. “Listen, please.” Another deep breath. “On Bandomeer, I saw into the poorly shielded mind and soul of a boy who was just like I was. He struggled with anger, with fear, with uncertainty. I know that you feel. You just seem bent on hiding it from me. You have from the beginning, and I don’t understand why.” “Jedi feel. I have never taught you otherwise.” Obi-Wan dropped his gaze, breaking the forced eye contact. “After Naboo, you were allowed, expected even, to be an emotional young boy who had just had his world turned upside down. I, on the other hand, was thrust into knighthood and expected to act accordingly. You had just been entrusted to my care. How could I let you peek into my thoughts, into my soul, and see my struggles and all the ugliness that needed to be released to the Force?” “I’m seventeen now. I can take it.” “Are you so sure, Young One?” Anakin considered his master’s words for a moment, also strangely sensing that his master might even grant his request. Was he ready for the answer to questions he had entertained for so long? “Yes, Master. Please,” he answered. “Why are you so distant?” Obi-Wan seemed to brace himself before speaking. “I couldn’t let you know that your new master had misgivings about you being trained along with the Council – I told Qui-Gon that you were dangerous. I couldn’t tell you that you rubbed a raw spot on my heart because my master disowned me in front of the entire Council because he wanted to train you; that Qui-Gon’s final thoughts were of you and not of the twelve years I had spent at his side; that I blamed myself for his death – if I had been faster, not fallen, not given into my anger. None of it was your fault. You had lost the one who had promised to care for you and make you a Jedi, and were given a master who felt more like a selfish, self-pitying brat than a Jedi.” Some of the words hurt, and Anakin felt the tug of insecurity that often plagued him. Obi-Wan had taken him as a learner to fulfill a promise to Qui-Gon, but he had always wondered if his master truly wanted him around. He pushed his own selfish doubts aside, focusing instead on what his master had said, imagining it was the boy he had met on Bandomeer speaking. In a new light, the carefully chosen words made his chest ache. They told a story of a boy who had placed all his hope and devotion in Qui-Gon’s hands only to have it betrayed, who had been willing to die in a dusty mine to save a master he would later be to be unable save, who had dreamed of nothing more than being a knight only to be rushed into being a master, and who had gone from being so preoccupied with himself only to call thinking of his self his greatest failing. “I never realized you had hurt so much,” was all Anakin could bring himself to say. “Of course it hurt to lose him, Anakin. I warned him before we left Bandomeer, you know?” Obi-Wan confessed softly. “I warned him to not run ahead. He still did.” A single tear slid down Obi-Wan’s cheek, drawing Anakin’s complete, undivided attention. Was Obi-Wan actually crying? He knew he was staring when Obi-Wan suddenly reached up to wipe the betraying moisture from his face. Anakin caught his hand. “My mother taught me that it was okay to cry, and it is something I still believe.” A second tear tumbled free. Anakin finally released his master’s hand. Obi-Wan hurriedly reached up to wipe his eyes, still clearly uncomfortable at being so vulnerable in front of his apprentice. “You were so set on not changing the timeline. Why?” “The timeline was already changed, and Qui-Gon essentially dragged the information out of me. As to why.” Obi-Wan began to pick at a loose thread on the blanket covering him. “Obviously there were personal reasons. And then …” He paused, brows furrowing in concentration. “I was so young and inexperienced still when I began training you. A knight usually takes at the bare minimum two or three years before considering the responsibility of an apprentice. In retrospect, I see so many mistakes I made. I feel like Qui-Gon could have given you so much more. There are so many times I’ve had questions in training you – things I know the Council wouldn’t understand, but he would.” “But, you’ve been a good master,” Anakin quickly assured him. “Since we are being honest, is that how you really feel?” Obi-Wan asked, meeting his apprentice’s gaze. Anakin felt heat rise up into his cheeks and guilt balling into a knot in his stomach. Lashing out at what he did not understand, he had made his feelings on Obi-Wan’s inadequacy as a master quite vocal on several occasions. “I have spent a lot of time comparing you to this perfect idea I had of Qui-Gon as a master. Having spent some time around him, has …” “Shattered the perfect image?” Obi-Wan chuckled lightly. “We are all human and flawed, not one of us perfect.” “I’m sorry, Master,” Anakin said with what he realized was genuine regret. “Is it possible for a fresh start?” “I think so, Padawan,” Obi-Wan said softly. “I was just a little older than you when Qui-Gon and I agreed to a fresh start.” “I would like that.” “So would I.” Obi-Wan closed his eyes and rubbed at his temples, obviously still worn and exhausted. “Master? Why do you think Qui-Gon ran ahead? I mean, he knew he would die.” “I don’t know for certain,” Obi-Wan said in a voice thick with emotion. “Most likely, he felt the Force moving him on, and he would have gladly followed the Force to his death.” “I see.” Anakin knew he would have to think on that later, maybe even meditate. “So what do we do now?” he asked. “You said you had visions, but how do we know what may have changed?” “We need to do some research on past missions I had with Qui-Gon and our past missions, especially to see if Xanatos shows up anywhere. There is little we can do about any changes, but it would be good to try to limit the number of surprises.” “I can start in the Archives,” Anakin said with a smile. “I don’t see Bant letting you out of here for some time. You look awful.” Anakin jumped up and started for the door, feeling for the first time that he had truly connected with his master. “Padawan. First, go get some rest in your own room. You don’t look so good yourself, and we do have time.” “Yes, Master.” -----signature----- No Legacy So Rich : Xan,OC, Obi, Qui (12/19) Seekers, Not Saints: SW/TB crossover (8/12)

	I;m so glad that Obi-Wan and Anakin were able to connect with each other after all that time. Even though you killed Qui-Gon again! I loved that Obi was able to cry and that Anakin could see how much he hurt inside. This was great. Obi-Wan seemed to brace himself before speaking. “I couldn’t let you know that your new master had misgivings about you being trained along with the Council – I told Qui-Gon that you were dangerous.

	Very interesting. I suppose Qui-Gon still had to die otherwise Anakin would be trained by Qui-Gon, however he is still Obi-Wans padawan. At least Qui-Gon said different words to Obi when he died. That he was proud of him. that should ease the hurt a bit. Very nice update. -----signature----- Proud Padawan to p_stotts Peace over anger - honour over hate - Strength over fear.
