	Oh it did, it did. Their anniversary surpassed all my expectations. To find out that Ben was his Padawan and Obi-Wans own suspicions coming true. What a beautiful conclusion to their miserable evening. So cold and wet, and yet they had each other. Well done -----signature----- Padawan to p_stotts Peace over anger - honour over hate - Strength over fear. Links to Stories in my Bio. Obi-Wan forever.

	dies of happiness This was amazing! Yes! They finally know that it was each other! Wonderfully, wonderfully done. Qui-Gon withdrew quickly. “You’re right, I’m sorry.” Twenty-two year old Padawan’s would hardly want to be told stories by their old Masters. “No,” Obi-Wan’s head shook slightly against his chest. “I think I’d enjoy that, Master. I like stories.” I like stories. Qui-Gon went very still. Those words… Simple, innocent but suddenly he found himself being thrown back through time, down through many years, back before Xanatos’ betrayal to an afternoon spent with a little boy curled under a pile of crushing rubble. I like stories. Today my fav’ite day. Sudden clarity struck Qui-Gon like lightning to the brain and before he could discredit it the name was out of his mouth. “Ben?” Obi-Wan opened his eyes and a smile spread across his face. “Mast’a?” A wondering laugh bubbled from Qui-Gon’s throat. “That was you all those years ago?” And quite suddenly it didn’t seem so surprising. In fact it answered a lot of questions: the reason behind the strength of their bond, the answer to why there had already been a tentative connection between them when they had first met. “Have you known all this time?” Obi-Wan shook his head. “I suspected, but never knew for sure until just now. All I really remember is a comforting presence and a steady voice telling me stories until we were rescued.” Qui-Gon smiled, still reeling from the revelation. Who’d have thought that the little boy to whom he owed his life would turn out to be his very own Padawan. You have made my day, and I am now smiling ear to ear. Very well done, realistic, but dramatic at the same time. The tale was carefully woven, the plot twisting in unexpected and complicated directions, mindful that his Padawan was now grown with a quick and intellectual mind. Unfortunately that also meant he couldn’t get away with as much embellishment like he had the last time. The bitter night deepened until finally, voice hoarse from the unaccustomed use, Qui-Gon finished his latest masterpiece. He really ought to write some of this down, the amused thought came distantly. Of course, Qui-Gon would embellish upon stories. Good thing Obi-Wan is quick-minded! “What is it, Ben?” His own words echoed back to him braking through his reverie. Obi-Wan smiled slightly at the use of the name. “Nothing, Master, just a young fool’s regret.” “Ah.” Callused fingers carded through his hair then. Warmth flowed from them. The ache in his bruising hip eased and his frozen toes tingled comfortingly. Obi-Wan sighed. The warmth spread to his heart, almost aching in the knowledge of how much Qui-Gon cared for him. And with that gift came a simple promise. A promise that this would always be so. Even when he was a grown Knight with a Padawan of his own. This would always be so. They would never lose each other. Very, very nice. I loved it to the very end! Such a beatiful picture. I love how Obi-Wan used his master's 'fool's regret' line. A very well-rounded touch. Again, this is an amazing story! I think I told you that I was planning to write a songfic to this also; mine pales in comparison to yours! Kudos to you, and well done.

	Such a long time and yet seemingly no time at all… “What is it, Ben?” His own words echoed back to him braking through his reverie. Obi-Wan smiled slightly at the use of the name. “Nothing, Master, just a young fool’s regret.” Awwwwwww I love how wonderfully well you write their relationship. Just so heartwarming and affectionate, realizing how important they are to each other. I'm a big puddle of mushy goo.

	Catching up. For some reason, I missed the last vignette. I adored it! It was brilliant and so full of emotion and the characters were just so very right. Loved it!!! This was the heart. Obi-Wan lowered his eyes and managed a somewhat sad smile. “I suppose not,” he said and Qui-Gon was dismayed to see that his jest had backfired. Obi-Wan’s head bowed lower even as his arms came up to fold protectively across his chest. “I’m sorry, Master,” he said. “I’ve tried, I really have tried to be all that the Council and the Jedi need me to be. Ever since Melida/Daan... But I just can’t help it!” The auburn head shook helplessly. “I know,” his voice dropped so low that Qui-Gon had to strain to hear him, “I know as a Jedi I should be prepared to let go of those that I… that I… care about…” his eyes flickered briefly to Qui-Gon’s before nailing themselves to the floor again. “But I just couldn’t do it, Master. It felt like I was tearing myself to pieces and I couldn’t let go of the pain. I should be able to, but I couldn’t. Is that so wrong of me?” The miserable eyes lifted, searching his. My heart was hurting so much for him. Great, great job. 4/30 post - this was also wonderful. I loved how you captured Obi's sense of humor and Qui-Gon's amusement at it. I loved how they found each other after all those years. So sad, too in the knowledge that it wouldn't last. Callused fingers carded through his hair then. Warmth flowed from them. The ache in his bruising hip eased and his frozen toes tingled comfortingly. Obi-Wan sighed. The warmth spread to his heart, almost aching in the knowledge of how much Qui-Gon cared for him.

	I love how these all tie in with one another! And with that gift came a simple promise. A promise that this would always be so. Even when he was a grown Knight with a Padawan of his own. This would always be so. They would never lose each other. Oooohhh dear. Oooohhh dear oh dear oh dear.

	Since I was lucky to read all of them at once, I didn't huff for long after reading number 3 and 4. I got my answers in the fifth story. The recognition - that's what I wanted and that's what I saw. I loved them all Every story has its key-sentence or key-idea that made my face split in a huge grin. I simply must speak my mind out! Ah.. I also have a couple of questions and doubts 1) The love that had been the very centre of this boy's world was gone. Oh, how very true for Obi-Wan! From early days and till the end of his life. And one more endearing tought: The baby made no noise, just continued to watch him curiously and Qui-Gon was surprised to feel a slight 'nudge' somewhere in the back of his mind as those eyes connected with his. Well, that's the notorious qui-gonish stubborness! To miss the warnings from Force like that. However, one disagreement about this one. I don't think a creche master could just pass a crying baby and not do anything about it. 2. "Right." Qui-Gon looked the boy over, and quite unexpectedly a name jumped out at him. "Ben?" It must have come from somewhere within the child himself, for Qui-Gon had never heard the name before. The boy looked surprised but hardly displeased. A flicker of istant recognition passed over his face. "Is that your name?" The look vanished. "Noooo. My name Ob- Obi-" The child struggled with the syllables then gave up around the grit in his mouth and missing teeth. "Ben, Mast'a. I kinda like dat. Some reason." Thanks for that! It's so so lovely! And it makes perfect sense when later Obi-Wan takes that name as his own. A sleepy voice cut though his musings. "Know who you are." Startled, Qui-Gon asked. "Who am I, Ben?" A slight knowing smile touched the small lips. "You my Mast'a." Qui-Gon felt his breath catch. The tall Jedi stared but Ben said no more. My Master. Loved it! Every single word!!!!!!!!!! The third one did me in . I reread it several times at once and I think it's the best one! It's so tender, bright and beautiful! I loved everything from embarrased Obi-Wan mistaking left and right:) to caring Master who wants to make that day to be a special one for his new apprentice. Still -again - one disgreement. It would be far too cruel for Jedi to severe initiates' braids when sending them to AgriCorps. That would traumatize the kids all right! 4. Qui-Gon felt his heart twist and his resolve to remain the properly stoic Jedi Master in this instance cracked. He had never seen such a naked look on his Padawan’s face. Obi-Wan… His eyes were suddenly wrenched wide open to the pain Obi-Wan was feeling. What had he been doing? His Padawan was hurting and he had let his own selfish fear blind him to just how much. In an instant he cast aside his role as a Master and the tenets of the Jedi. Council be damned. Obi-Wan needed him right now. Needed truth, wisdom and understanding. Not to have his feelings callously pushed aside by stern platitudes. The calm Jedi mask melted from his face and in that moment he was just Qui-Gon, a man who loved his apprentice more than life itself. Like any father. Something he realised he should have done from the start. That melted my heart completely! 5. The teasing is great. And the scene of recognising Ben in his padawan is so touching. But I can't help grumbling that wise Qui-Gon could've understood it earlier. “I always knew that you were meant to be my Master,” Obi-Wan whispered. “That you did, my Obi-Wan. Even as a three year old, you were wiser than I.” Sorry for such a huge post.

	DarthBerryStraw: Awww Thank you! ranta: Cheers. And yes Qui-Gon’s fate was going through my mind a lot during this chapter Bastet: I’m really glad you loved this so much. Thank you. dimyavie: No problem! I’m glad that lived up to expectations because I know so many of you were waiting for that moment of discovery between them. Thank you Valairy_Scot: Hey, I hope you’re having a good holiday! I’m so glad I was able to round your day of hiking off so nicely I love walking and I really hope you’re enjoying it! monkeykelci: Thank you! And a very warm welcome to you, you’ve definitely made the right choice in coming to these boards. There’s such a lot of wonderful talent here, as I’m sure you’re already busy finding out Gkilkenny: Thank you so much! jedidas3: “Thank you again for sharing your marvelous talent with us. Of course, you've left me wanting more!!!” More is here! Jedi-Gon: Thank you so so much! And of course your story isn’t going to pale in comparison to this! I was more worried about it being the other way round and I’m very much looking forward to it. Jinngerbread: Yup, you said it, the world needs more mush! And I’m not going to argue with that. Though I think this next part is more angsty than mushy Thanks a whole lot for reading dianethx: Thank you and I know early bird-obi-wan: Thank you! silversock: “Why am I getting the feeling that if there's more that you'll follow what happens in TPM” Whatever gave you that idea Thank you so much for reading. I’m glad you’re liking it so much, my friend. Lileia: Hey! Glad to have you back on board for this. Don’t worry about such a long response, as with everyone’s, it was much loved and appreciated, everything you said. As for the disagreements, ah-ha! (rubs hands together) I love a debate! I’ll try to address both very briefly here if nobody minds. Point 1: I don’t know… like it was mentioned in the viggie, I think the creche masters would see that sort of thing all the time and would be less moved by it than those who didn’t. As long as the baby was well cared for I believe they would leave them to adjust on their own. Jedi training begins early, and that means teaching them to let go and accept. As for Qui-Gon, well, we know his connection to the Living Force doesn’t always allow him to conform. He’s too empathic towards other living beings. Point 2: Yes, I agree with you. I too think it would be cruel to sever a child’s braid when they were sent to the Agri Corps, but my thinking was that if they were never going to be Knighted then there would be no further point in keeping the braid, would there? Plus did I need some way for Qui-Gon to give Obi-Wan the braid back, and this just seemed the best way to do it Thanks again for reading and letting me know your thoughts. Keep 'em coming! Anyway I’ve carried on too long. I know you all want to get to the next part and here it is: * --Always, he had promised to remain by his Master’s side always. But now, somehow, he wasn’t, and in one fateful second his heart was ripped from his chest. Qui-Gon staggered, a lethal spear of bloody fire thrusting through his body, agonisingly slow in a moment that stretched forever. Then he was gone...-- “Nooooo!” Obi-Wan jumped from his fitful sleep, his damp, twisted sheets tangling round his body as he fought to be free of them. “No! Master!” he cried, barely knowing what he was doing. His distress carried across their quarters to hit Qui-Gon like a fist in the gut. In no time he had crossed the living space and burst into his Padawan’s room. He stopped short at the door. Obi-Wan was sitting on the edge of his bed, bowed down and rocking slightly. Slender arms wrapped around the trembling body as if to ward off some unseen spectre that still danced before the haunted eyes. Those same eyes flickered his way, devouring him with a desperation that rocked Qui-Gon to the core. “Master,” Obi-Wan reached out with a hand that shook on the empty air between them. “Oh, Master.” Qui-Gon swept across the room, engulfing his Padawan’s hand with his own before sitting down beside him on the bed. With a strangled gasp, Obi-Wan collapsed against his side, clinging to Qui-Gon’s sleep shirt with a desperate strength, as if fearing the Master would disappear if he let him go. “Obi-Wan, what is it?” Qui-Gon asked, unable to comprehend what could have caused such a terrible reaction in the normally unflappable twenty-three year old. Obi-Wan just shook his head wordlessly and tightened his grip on Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon didn’t press him. He sensed that Obi-Wan craved only his presence right now, not his words. Laying a gentle arm around Obi-Wan’s shoulders he waited. The answers would come in their own time. Minutes passed in which the dark room was filled solely with the sound of Obi-Wan’s ragged breathing and for a while it seemed that he would never find the words to speak. But then, with a brief flash of pride, Qui-Gon felt the young man reach for the Force, drawing on its infinite strength whilst breathing out his torment. Indeed the boy had grown. All to fast. The uncontrollable shuddering ceased and Obi-Wan drew back a short way. “I’m sorry, Master,” he murmured, turning his face as he dried his eyes self-consciously on his sleeve. “Don’t apologise. You had a nightmare.” It was hardly a question. Obi-Wan shook his head weakly, face deathly pale in the darkened room. “It was more than that, Master,” he whispered. “…so much more…” “A vision?” Obi-Wan closed his eyes and made no answer but his stricken silence spoke louder than any word he could have uttered. Qui-Gon sighed, he had never set much in store by visions. His was the Here and Now, but he had to know what could have disturbed Obi-Wan in this way before he could help him let go this fear. Tightening his grip on the tense shoulder, he said, “Tell me.” There was a pause as Obi-Wan battled with his straining emotions. He did not wish to speak of the horrors that were still so fresh in his mind but his Master’s tone, while gentle, brooked no argument. “You were in battle, Master,” he said finally, “fighting against an unnamed darkness. Darkness like I’ve never felt or imagined. Never wanted to imagine…” Obi-Wan shuddered, swallowing thickly. Despite himself Qui-Gon felt a sudden prickle start at the back of his neck. While he had not been partial to the dream he had felt something of it along their bond and it had not been pleasant. Obi-Wan’s grip tightened until it was almost painful. “Such utter blackness and you were alone against it. I could-- I could not reach you, Qui-Gon, no matter how hard I tried. No matter what I did. And then it took you. It killed you right before my eyes and I powerless to stop it.” The quiet voice dropped away to a barely coherent whisper, but each word continued to lace Qui-Gon’s heart with ice. An inexplicable foreboding crept into his soul, almost as if the horror of Obi-Wan’s dream was escaping its confines, released on his voice to seep into the air, striking at hitherto unknown chords deep within Qui-Gon. “Then there was nothing, nothing but a terrible sense of responsibility. Darkness. Betrayal. Infinite loss. Grief. Alone. Waiting. So alone…” Obi-Wan’s throat finally closed, strangling his voice into silence. Suppressing a shudder, Qui-Gon drew Obi-Wan tighter against his side. The vague words had shaken him in a way he could not explain and he struggled to maintain his disregard for such things. “I cannot let this come to pass, Master,” Obi-Wan murmured softly. “I don’t think I could survive if this is what truly lies ahead.” Qui-Gon squeezed his shoulder. “Always in motion is the future,” he said as much to steady himself as his apprentice. Obi-Wan nodded against his shoulder but his grip remained tight on Qui-Gon’s tunic. “Promise you’ll never leave me, Master,” he said in a broken whisper so uncharacteristic of his strong Padawan. “Promise you won’t ever leave me behind.” Qui-Gon stiffened. Grasping Obi-Wan by the shoulders he pushed his Padawan to arm’s length so he could meet those despairing eyes. “I can never promise that, Obi-Wan,” he said firmly. Obi-Wan looked shocked then hurt and began to turn his face away but Qui-Gon caught his chin and held his gaze firm. “Eventually I will die, Padawan, whether by the darkness in your vision or by some other unforeseen destiny, it will happen someday. It is the way of things. The way of the Force. We each of us have a path to follow and a purpose to fulfil in our lives. Our paths will part someday and when that day comes you have to let me go. It is the hardest lesson I will ever have to teach, but you must. No matter how rocky your way becomes.” Obi-Wan dropped his eyes, struggling to accept his Master’s words. He was shaking on the inside and felt like he would break at any second. All he wanted to do was cling to his Master’s presence and let it hold him together as it had done so many times. He could never imagine losing that strength in his life. He could never survive what he had just seen without it. “I don’t think I can, Master,” he said He expected disapproval but Qui-Gon only smiled gently and his tone softened. “You will understand in time. You are young yet, Obi-Wan, but you will understand some day. I have faith in that.” He brushed his cheek. “The Force will be with you, Obi-Wan, always.” Still smiling gently Qui-Gon released his grip and replaced Obi-Wan against his side. “But for now, my young Padawan, all of that is in the future and the present is what is important. We cannot waste the time we have by worrying over what lies ahead.” “No, Master,” came the solemn reply. Qui-Gon sent his approval through their bond, wrapping it in his love and pride. “Sleep, my Obi-Wan,” he said. “I have a feeling that our paths will run together for a good time yet.” His Padawan sighed shakily and rested his head against his Master’s shoulder but despite Qui-Gon’s assuring words it was a long while before his breathing deepened and fell into the steady rhythm of sleep. Qui-Gon remained with him, eyes watching the distant stars with all their infinite possibilities. It was a beautiful night, peace prevailed and, true to his word, Qui-Gon was determined to enjoy every minute of it. But despite what he had told his Padawan, deep down he found he couldn‘t quite shake the foreboding that had crept into his heart this night. What Obi-Wan had foretold was somehow more than just an ordinary, fickle phantom cast upon the winding path that they followed. There was a grain of truth there that even Qui-Gon couldn’t deny. Sighing, he looked down into his Padawan’s sleeping face. The road ahead was barred by darkness. Obi-Wan would have to find his strength. Silently Qui-Gon brushed the braid back and murmured. “The Force will be with you, Obi-Wan. Always. If nothing else remember that. Then nothing will overcome you.” Impossibly Obi-Wan stirred and in the deepest recesses of his sleeping mind came the reply: //Yes, Master.// Qui-Gon smiled wanly as he rested his chin in the red-gold hair. Watchful eyes stared at the stars. Yes he had faith. * When destiny calls you You must be strong I may not be with you But you’ve got to hold on You’ll see in time I know I know. * -----signature----- "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

You had a nightmare.” It was hardly a question. Obi-Wan shook his head weakly, face deathly pale in the darkened room. “It was more than that, Master,” he whispered. “…so much more…” Poor Obi-Wan! Having nightmares about loved ones dying is always horrifying, but I imagine it would take on a whole new level when you're a Jedi. There's always the possibility of the dream being a vision. Still smiling gently Qui-Gon released his grip and replaced Obi-Wan against his side. “But for now, my young Padawan, all of that is in the future and the present is what is important. We cannot waste the time we have by worrying over what lies ahead.” “No, Master,” came the solemn reply. Qui-Gon sent his approval through their bond, wrapping it in his love and pride. “Sleep, my Obi-Wan,” he said. “I have a feeling that our paths will run together for a good time yet.” Qui-Gon is really Obi-Wan's strength in this viggie.

	Poor Obi-Wan, what a horrible nightmare! And all the more so because we know it comes true! But at least Qui-Gon was there to comfort him this time. Obi-Wan nodded against his shoulder but his grip remained tight on Qui-Gon’s tunic. “Promise you’ll never leave me, Master,” he said in a broken whisper so uncharacteristic of his strong Padawan. “Promise you won’t ever leave me behind.” Qui-Gon stiffened.

It made me question myself and the faith I have in the future and what is coming.. It made me think. Thank you for the wonderful viggie, and to answer your question, yes. I have found that out and absolutly LOVE this site!

	Our paths will part someday and when that day comes you have to let me go. It is the hardest lesson I will ever have to teach ... For a true Master. even death becomes a purposeful act of compassion and instruction. Beautiful capture of what the Jedi and the Master/Padawan bond are all about. Loved the whole post, of course, even through my tears. -----signature----- Faster than the speed of light is the speed of darkness. Faster than the speed of darkness is the speed of thought.
