Well, this story has been a year and a half in the making (mainly because I'm so lazy) but I have finally decided to let it out into the big wide world. Please read and review, I don't mind criticism as long as you write something. Well, without further ado, I present to you, the fanfic.

Discalimer: These are, respectively, George Lucas', J.R.R Tolkien's and Peter Jackson's sandpits. I'm just stealing the sand. And this is completely AU. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Authour: Well, me and the voices inside my head.

Sins of the Fathers

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

Anakin Skywalker was not in the best of moods. Not because it was raining, as he liked the rain. Coming from a desert planet made water falling from the sky a beautiful, marvellous thing. No, he was displeased because getting accustomed to his mechanical arm was not easy. After a day of useless training he had stormed back to the rooms he and Obi-Wan Kenobi, his master, shared to sulk.
Obi-Wan had just collapsed on the sofa and was wondering what to do when his comlink beeped. He slapped the thing to ‘on’ and held it to his mouth.
“Kenobi here.”
“You have two visitors sir. Shall I send them up?”
The Jedi Master frowned. He couldn’t recall inviting anyone. No one, for various reasons, was told where he and Anakin lived, and they were ex-holocron. Had his many debtors from the death stick racket finally caught up with him?
“Send them up.”
Half an hour later there was a knock on the door, and the sound of muffled arguing. Obi-Wan listened out of curiosity.
“Yes I’m sure this is the right room.”
“Ah, but is this the right floor? I mean, there are lots of floors. And no one’s answering.”
“No, that’s just you being ignorant. Someone is home, I can hear them.”
Obi-Wan stifled a small yelp and opened the door to reveal a man and a….woman…?
“Hello, sir, madam.”
The blond woman eyed him coldly.
“Excuse me?”
The man looked uncomfortable. “It’s sir and sir, actually. Don’t worry, it happens a lot. Are you Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and is your padawan Anakin Skywalker?”
The Jedi shifted uneasily.
“From a certain point of view. Who wants to know?”
“I’m Legolas and the human one is Faramir.” The effeminate one replied. “May we come in?”
“Just a minute. Why do you want to talk to my padawan?”
They told him. His jaw dropped.

Anakin was keeling on the floor of his room, trying to fix the caf machine. Since it’s last upgrade the thing had been exploding and producing oil on the ‘Herbal’ setting. The brown stains decorating the wall and ceiling were a testament to his fixing abilities. However, it was a good form of therapy and the Jedi was feeling quite happy until he was interrupted in his quest for knowledge by Obi-Wan’s distinctive yell.
“ANAKIN! GET IN HERE!”
The padawan rolled his eyes and walked into the sitting room.
“Look Master, I told you, the holonet came with those channels. I had nothing to do with them, I swear.” He stopped in the doorway and examined the two figures sitting on the sofa. One was long-haired and blond and, after some scrutiny, Anakin decided they were male. The other guy was fairly ordinary besides the shoulder-length mucky blonde hair and the large sword. They were both wearing medieval-style clothing not dissimilar to Jedi robes. Anakin sighed. Not again.
“Who are you and what has Obi-Wan done this time?”
His master spoke up from the corner.
“Uh, no, actually this is about you.”
The young Jedi’s panic alarm went off.
“Look, I told you, those droid parts were bought legally with real credits! You can’t prove anything!” He gabbled desperately, reaching for his lightsaber.
Obi-Wan sighed.
“No, Anakin, this is about your parentage.”
Anakin was getting suspicious. Last time conversation had headed this way, he’d left his home and he hadn’t seen his mother since.
“Oh, yah, I know I was conceived by the Force before you tell me again.”
The bearded one seemed shocked.
“Who told you that?”
“My mother.” Replied the young Jedi coldly.
The effeminate one raised an eyebrow.
“Strange woman. But, I’m afraid, the only one we could find to do the job. The fact is, um, Shmi was right when she said you didn’t have a father in the singular sense. You see-”
“But the midichlorians did it!” Anakin wailed helplessly, backing against the wall.
“No. We are your fathers. Plural.”
“No, that can’t be true! That’s impossible!” Anakin screamed. “I don’t even know your names!”
“Easy.” Obi-Wan chipped in. “The one with the pointy ears is Legolas Greenleaf, and the other guy is Faramir…. Ah…”
“Steward.”
Legolas looked at Faramir questioningly. Steward? He mouthed. The man shrugged.
“YOU’RE NOT HELPING!” Anakin yelled at Obi-Wan.
The Jedi master held up his hands in a calming gesture.
“Okay, okay. These two just want to take you back home to Middle-Earth for a month or so. Teach you about your heritage and things like that. Also, there is one thing that I’m curious about. You’re both men, right?”
“Elf.” Growled Legolas as Faramir nodded ‘yes’.
“Elf, right, so how did he-“ Obi-Wan inclined his head towards Anakin, who was leaning against the wall swearing weakly in Huttese, “-happen?”
“Potion.” Said Faramir simply. “They really should label these things properly, I mean, it said ‘poison’ and I was really angry with Legolas at the time and so I-“
He was cut off as the elf smacked him round the back of the head, a gesture that looked habituated.
“Yes, but Anakin can’t leave without the permission of either myself or the council.” Pointed out Obi-Wan.
“Oh, I have experience with councils.” Replied Legolas airily. “Leave it to me.”
The Jedi glanced at his padawan, who looked at him with the expression of someone who a few minutes ago had thought they’d seen everything, and have now found out that everything isn’t nearly enough. He mouthed two words.
Help. Me.
Obi-Wan pretended not to understand.

This is hilarious, Livi-Wan! I love both sagas, so I'm really interested where this will lead. And I loved the jibes about Legolas - can't say I disagree. wink

More soon? mischief

Well, me and the voices inside my head.

Hey, I commented that Anakin looked like a cross between Legolas and Faramir!

Though glad to see the story!


Nice job Livi!

If there are Legolas fangirls around, I am most definitely not one of them - if I had to pick one, I'd go with Aragorn, but I'm pretty much a pirate kind of girl. devil

Well here's the next part, don't worry, all slashy elements were given a WIDE berth as I love the JC and have no wish to be banned happy .

Sins of the Fathers, part the second...

The next day, the two Jedi, the elf and the man sat in conference around the kitchen table. To an observer it would have looked very strange. Faramir had the caf machine on the table and was prodding it to see what it did. Obi-Wan was trying to serruptiotiosly hide behind a Jedi-O’s cereal box from Anakin, who was chewing the aforementioned product and glaring moodily at everyone and anything. Legolas had commandeered Obi-Wan’s meusli and was sitting at the breakfast counter finishing it off, trying to look cool and detached. He sighed and dumped his bowl in the sink.
“We still haven’t sorted it out.”
“Sorted what out? Aaagh!” Faramir sucked his finger and leapt back from the torrent of hot water streaming out of one of the caf machine’s various nozzles. Anakin gave a wordless ‘humph’ of rage and flicked a finger in its direction. The flood stopped.
“Hey...er…do that again!” the Gondorian gasped.
An angry silence followed. Legolas sighed again, but no one took any notice. He did it several more times quite pointedly and was just about to cough when eventually Obi-Wan took the hint.
“Well, personally I think Anakin could do with a holiday. Somewhere different, exciting, new. If it was me I’d be there like a shot.”
“WELL WHY DON’T YOU GO THEN?” his padawan yelled, standing up and knocking the chair over. “I’m SICK of this place and I’m sick of you!” he stormed out, slamming the door so hard it bounced open again, which rather spoiled the effect. Obi-Wan turned to Legolas and Faramir. They both looked slightly shell-shocked, which was normal for people who had just experienced one of Anakin’s rages.
“Don’t worry.” The Jedi assured them with what he hoped was a soothing grin. “Let me speak to him. I assure you that by the end of the morning he’ll be packed and ready to go.” he followed his padawan out of the door, leaving the elf and the man to their breakfast.

A holovid flew across the room and smashed into the wall just above Obi-Wan’s ear. A datapad, miscellaneous cogwheels and a static holo of Shmi followed it. The Jedi reached out and grabbed the static holo as it rushed past, then entered Anakin’s room. The usual mess of machinery and dust had picked itself up and was orbiting the ceiling light, occasional random bits flying off and hitting things. His padawan was sitting in the middle, eyes closed, his own private tornado raging above him.
“You dropped this.” Obi-Wan held up the holo. Shmi’s face appeared, hovering a couple of inches off his hand. She was smiling at something off-camera, her kind face lit with happiness. Anakin’s eyes opened saw the holo, and a small smile flashed briefly on his face, too. He stopped the whirlwind of junk and stood up to take the holograph.
“I don’t want to go.” he said softly, replacing it on his bedside table and sitting on his bed to stare at it. “I don’t want things to change again.”
Obi-Wan sat down next to him.
“Yes, but this time you have a choice. You can be over there for a few months, learn about where you come from, where you might go, and then you can come back here. View it as a challenge. You always did well on the others you have been set. Legolas and Faramir really want to know you. And though you’re hiding it, I know you want to know about them, too.”
Anakin looked up at his master.
“If I go, you won’t take another padawan, will you?”
The Jedi grinned.
“Hmm, I don’t know about that.” he said jokingly. “It does seem very tempting…” he caught sight of his padawan’s expression and laughed. “No, I promise I won’t. So, what do you want?”
Anakin thought for a minute.
“I think… I think I’ll go see what this Middle-Earth business is about. And, I think I want to get the caf machine off of Faramir before it breaks again.” He stood up and left, leaving Obi-wan alone. He caught sight of Shmi’s holograph, smiling serenely at the wall, and smiled.
“I hope I did well,” he said graciously to her, “Thank you for helping.”

It was later that same day, and once again the Jedi and their guests were standing in the kitchen. The table and chairs had been pushed out of the way and Faramir was on his knees drawing a circle and complicated runes on the floor with some chalk. Legolas was standing behind him, lighting a lavender scented candle he had ‘borrowed’ from Obi-Wan earlier.
“You’re scuffing the runes.” whined Faramir, pushing his hair out of his eyes and leaving a grey streak from the chalk. “I’ll have to re-draw them, and if I do it wrong we could end up anywhere.”
“Nonsense.” replied Legolas dismissively, “Elves are perfect beings, ergo, I cannot smudge chalk because I am perfect. You, however, keep trying to trip me up. And you smell like Aragorn on a hot day. Just because you’re away from home doesn’t mean you have to stop washing.”
Faramir was silent, but kept moving so he could be of maximum annoyance to Legolas. Standing apart and observing were Anakin and Obi-Wan, who were trying hard not to laugh. Since Jedi aren’t supposed to own anything, Anakin hadn’t packed much. On the floor next to him was a small ‘Haarrods’ bag containing the essentials like underwear and deodorant which technically didn’t belong to him, a thought which kept Obi-Wan awake on dark nights.
“Right, we’re done.” Faramir straightened up and brushed the chalk off his tunic. “If Anakin would stand in the middle of the circle, next to Legolas, then I’ll just give Obi-Wan the chant,” He flourished a bit of paper, “I’ll stand with you, he’ll say it and we’ll be off.” he gave the paper to the Jedi and joined Legolas and Anakin.
“Okay, say it.”
“Go, please, clear off,
Mini mini number four
Forty-two is the answer..?” Obi-Wan reeled off in a puzzled voice. “Are you sure that’s ri-“
There was a giant flash and a bang, some lavender-scented smoke and a few pretty purple lights. When Obi-Wan had stopped coughing, the kitchen was deserted. The Jedi grinned madly and punched the air.
“Yes! It worked! FREEEDOM!”

Here you go

When the world had stopped spinning, Anakin opened his eyes to an open, cream-coloured hall, supported by twisty pillars and surrounded by forest. Legolas and Faramir were brushing themselves off and smiling.
“It worked!” beamed Faramir. “And you said it wouldn’t! Hah! I was right!” He laughed happily. Legolas turned to Anakin, who was gripping his bag tightly and not moving.
“Welcome to Rivendell, Anakin. Welcome home.” he said gravely. “What do you think?”
“’S very nice.” said the Jedi indistinctly. “Where’s the ‘fresher?”
Legolas frowned.
“The what?”
“The refresher unit. You must have one. It’s where you, you know, uh, go…”
“I think he means the privy.” whispered Faramir, pleased at knowing more than Legolas for once.
“Oh, right. I knew that. It’s down the hall to the left.” the elf explained. Anakin thanked him and rushed off.
“He seems like a nice guy.” commented Faramir from the candlestick he was examining. He looked closely at his reflection. Was that a grey hair? “Bit repressed, though.”
“He must get it from your side of the family.” said Legolas distractedly, then turned to face him. “Look, he can’t go wandering around dressed like that, people will notice. I mean, even his hair looks a bit odd.” he shuddered delicately. “It isn’t even shoulder-length.”
“I think that’s for religious reasons.” the man frowned. “And what do you mean, not even shoulder length? Mine isn’t, and neither was Boromir’s. Some people like it that way.”
“Some people,” sighed Legolas, “Are beyond help.”

Anakin used the privy, which was decorated a wavy leaf pattern, and, thankfully, was fully enclosed, and leaned against the wall to think. If he could jump from the balcony outside and climb down the tree, he’d be…where? In a strange land with strange people, a complete outsider. He’d probably never see home again. He sighed and walked slowly back, getting odd looks from a couple of passing elves. As the Jedi walked away he though he could hear them whispering.
“What was he wearing? And his hair?”
“Quiet Anilmathiel. It’s not polite. The poor man must have been travelling or something. It’s not his fault.”
Anakin counted to ten, slowly. By the time he reached Legolas and Faramir, he was relatively calm again.
“So, what happens now?” he asked.
“We take you to your room, if that’s alright.” said Legolas in a tone that implied that it most certainly would be alright. Anakin shrugged and hefted his bag.
“Okay.” After a moment’s silence he added, “That means yes.”

The room was light and airy, of course, with large, open gaps in the walls. Anakin privately decided that this must have been because the elves were too lazy to add proper walls. He dumped his ‘Haarrods’ bag on the bed and sat down next to it. Faramir hurried off to find a mirror, muttering something about premature ageing, leaving Legolas to explain the clothes issue.
“Look, Anakin,” the elf began, sitting next to him. The Jedi edged away slightly. “You might have noticed that everyone else is dressed a little differently to you,”
“Yeah, I know,” Anakin cut in, “I heard them pointing it out. You know, for a ‘perfect’ race, you lot do whisper very loudly.”
“Er, yes, anyway, we think it would be easier for everyone if you’d just change, as no-one here actually knows about this little visit…as yet! As yet!” he added hurriedly as the teenager opened his mouth, “but until they know, there’s some of mine and Faramir’s clothes in the wardrobe. They’ll do for today and tomorrow we’ll get something your size.”
And sort out your hair. He added silently, then got up and left. Night was falling and stars began to appear above the treetops. Anakin pulled a few nutrition capsules off of his belt and chewed them moodily, staring at the ceiling.
“Oh, Force.” he sighed. “What have I let myself in for?”

High in Isengard, Saruman the White sat on his throne and brooded. He was good at brooding, and a chance to brood like this could not be passed up. The palantir stood on its plinth in front of him, showing Anakin laying on the bed, snoring peacefully.
“So, the apprentice leaves the master undefended?” the wizard mused aloud. “At last, a chance for revenge.” he made a pass over the glass ball and it switched to Obi-Wan making himself a cup of tea. CSI: Coruscant played on the holonet behind him. Saruman thought for a second then snapped his long, bony fingers.
“Wormtongue!”
His henchman shuffled in, radiating an air of greasy obsequiousness. The scent of strawberry bubble bath followed him into the obsidian throne room, and Saruman strongly suspected he’d been about to take a bath. Ugh. There was a mental image he didn’t need.
“Yes, my lord?” rasped Wormtongue, playing the ‘loyal henchman’ card for all it was worth.
“I have a mission for you, and I trust you will carry it out. You will travel to the planet of Coruscant and bring me the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. I once spent a holiday there under a false identity, and he was responsible for my immediate return. Now, with his apprentice gone, you will find no resistance. Do not make your intentions clear to him.”
“I will go directly, my lord.” he turned and sloped out. Shortly after, Saruman fancied he could hear ethereal singing echoing through the halls of Isengard. He sighed and muttered a quick soundproofing spell. Really, his henchmen must go through a better screening process next time.

Anakin stared at it. He’d seen many strange creatures on his travels with Obi-Wan, banthas, dewbacks and kaadu, to name but three. But he’d never seen a creature like this before, though it vaguely resembled some statues he’d seen on Naboo.
“What…What is it?” he asked, trying not to meet the thing’s gaze.
“This,” sighed Legolas, “Is a horse. It’s the main method of transportation here, I’m afraid. You’re going to have to get used to them.” the elf tightened the saddle and swung himself up. He indicated the horse next to him.
“This one’s yours. Her name’s Curini, she’s pretty docile and won’t run away with you. You mount from the left side, don’t ask me why, and hold the reins like this:” he demonstrated. Anakin swallowed nervously and stepped up to her. The mare turned her head to face the Jedi and gave him a ‘don’t mess with me, bub’ look. He jumped back a few feet.
“Are you sure about this?” Anakin asked, his voice marginally higher than usual. He looked around towards the stable door. It was only a short way off, and then he could run for the forest. Dressed as he was, in Legolas’ cast-offs, he wouldn’t arouse too much comment… He started to edge towards freedom.
“Anakin! Stop that!” Legolas snapped, in tones eerily similar to Obi-Wan’s. “If you don’t want to ride, then we’ll do something else. But I warn you; you’ll have to face Curini some time or another.”
Anakin sighed with relief and grinned triumphantly at the mare.

“So, what are we doing now? Sword fighting? Archery?” The Jedi asked as they walked through Rivendell.
“No,” Replied the elf, looking at Anakin speculatively, “I think we’d better sort you out some clothes that actually fit. You’re stretching my boots, for a start.”
“I thought you didn’t want them back?” Anakin complained. Mind you, they were a bit too small, but at least the elves weren’t passing comment. Not audibly, anyway.
“You never know.” said Legolas distractedly. “Ah, here we are.” He pushed open the door marked ‘weaving room’. Several female elves looked up at the sound. One hurried over to them, carrying a huge armful of various fabrics.
“Legolas!” She said happily, dropping them carefully on the floor, “What can I do for you?” Her gaze fell on Anakin, standing sheepishly in a corner, and she nodded. “Ah, yes, I see.” The elf scrutinised him closely. “Hmmm… I think… yesss…” She walked around the young Jedi slowly, muttering to herself about sizes in elvish.
“Does she always do this?” asked Anakin, trying to keep calm. The elf circled his ankles like a blonde, pointy-eared shark. Legolas pretended not to hear and stared out of the closest hole in the wall. Suddenly the woman stood up, causing Anakin to give a little yelp of shock and leap back a few inches.
“Finished!” she said brightly, dusting off her robe. “If I could just know your preferred colour scheme, Mr…?”
“Skywalker.” Replied Anakin automatically, causing Legolas to glare at him in the expression known as Scary Elf Eyes. “And I’d like, um, red and dark brown or black, please. If that’s not too much trouble.”
“Fine, fine. They should be ready by the day after tomorrow.” She scooped up the fabrics from the floor, and, with a friendly nod to Legolas, wandered off.
“Is she alright?” Anakin asked him when they were safely outside. “Only she acted a little…. odd…”
“Oh, Ioreth is fine. She’s just a tiny bit psychic, which saves on lengthy explanations.” Legolas replied. He had been a little unnerved by Ioreth, he always was, but the elf was determined not to let it show. Anakin sighed and shook his head. Why was everything always so complicated? Why couldn’t he deal with normal people for a change?
“What do I have after lunch?” he asked, dreading the answer.
“I think Faramir wants you for some sword practice. You don’t mind, do you?” the elf replied anxiously.
“After this morning, Legolas, I think sword practice will come as a relief.”
