RE: Life Beyond the Code (AU - Post TPM: Obi-Wan/Anakin) Update 1-29-08 Chap 38
A masterpiece of AU fiction. It took me the better part of two days to read, but it was well worth it. Your characters are superbly written, and are perfectly true to their character.
Please add me to your update list!

Oh...my...I can breathe again. Must absorb before giving this the review it deserves - but it's wonderful. I don't know what you wanted to accomplish, but this is superb.
Thank you for reading!
It's been so long since I posted last, I'm embarrassed to say that I've forgotten what I was trying to accomplish.
Hopefully it will come back to me.
Lincoln_6_Echo
Oh my...this was unexepted. Such intense chapter. Great job!
Thank you!
I finally know how it's going to end. Now I just have to finish the next post.
Laine_Snowtrekker
Our poor boys! And Obi's kid! Poor thing!
Obi's had about enough.
dianethx
Boy, they both were hovering around the dark.
That they were.
I have to wonder what Palpatine had to do with them giving in like they did.
It was Palpatine's voice the both heard, encouraging them to take revenge against those who had hurt their mother. I've tried to explain this a little in the next post.
Good thing Qui-Gon showed up. Otherwise, both Anakin and Obi-Wan would have been murderers.
He knows those two too well.
Good job.
Thanks! I'm glad you're still enjoying it.
Gkilkenny
Thanks for the PM.
You're welcome.
So intense, so amazing. Had me on the edge of my seat, wondering if Qui-Gon would get there in time.
I think he was wondering the same thing.
Wonderful post.
Thanks!
jordan2delta
Of course it was Palpatine saying the whispers to Obi-Wan and because of their bond, Anakin was picking up on them.
Palpatine wants Obi-Wan back but he'll settle for Anakin. Does anyone remember the beginning when Anakin was just a boy and Sebulba kidnapped Anakin and took him to Watto? When Obi-Wan found out, he touched the darkside and killed Sebulba and the very same day, Anakin killed Watto. They both touched the darkside on the same day and it happened again. Also, when Obi-Wan was a teenager he trained with Palpatine in secret until Qui-Gon found out and put a stop to it and brought him back to the light just like he did in this post.
Are you saying that history repeated itself? You may be on to something.
I really like the post, looking forward to another one.
Thanks! The next post will hopefully be up soon.
ratna
Wow, that was intense. Palpy's gonna be MAD. Does he know that Qui is alive?
Yes, Palpatine knows that Qui lives. He found out some time back when Qui stepped in between him and Obi-Wan during a confrontation.
So excited when I saw your pm, and the update DELIVERS! great job.
Thank you!
Jaira
I guess I was dropped from the PM list, because I haven't read an update to this story in a year and a half!
I'm not sure what happened. I apologize for the oversight. I would be happy to add you. Thanks for reading and I'm glad you're still enjoying it. Especially with the delays between posts.
JENNA
Oh wow, another great chapter as usual! Thanks for the PM, I look forward to the rest of the story and more Obi-goodness!
Thanks! And you're welcome for the PM. Sorry, I can't guarantee Obi-goodness.
silverfighter
How did you expect it to turn out?
I honestly can't remember.
That was amazing!
Thank you!
((heart melts)) Aww, she's adorable! You didn't make her sound too old at all!
I’m glad she came across okay. It's been a while since my boys were that young.
I was so glad Obi-Wan went with Anakin to get Shmi... But then he was tempted by the Dark Side too! But thank the stars Qui-Gon was there, and managed to stop Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan then stopped Anakin.
It was a surprise for Anakin to be sure. He thought he could follow through with his plan without being corrupted. A lesson learned the hard way.
Qui-Gon was leery of allowing the boys to go off on their own, especially with the circumstances surrounding their self imposed mission. Thank goodness he was able to get through them.
But what about poor Shmi?
This will be addressed in the next post.
Could you add me to your PM list please?
I would be happy to.
Darth_Drachonus
I've been reading on this for two days. I'd love to be added to the update list please.
Welcome! I'd be glad to add you to the PM list.

A masterpiece of AU fiction. It took me the better part of two days to read, but it was well worth it. Your characters are superbly written, and are perfectly true to their character.
You are good for a person's ego.
But seriously, thank you for your kind words. They are very much appreciated!
Please add me to your update list!
You bet!
BrightFeather
I held my breath through the whole thing. Hope you update again soon.
I'm glad it had the desired effect.
And I apologize for the delay in posting. Please see author's note.
Author's Note:
I want to thank everyone for their wonderful, thoughtful replies. I sincerely appreciate each and every one. I apologize for the delay between posts. I had lost direction on this fic for a while and wasn't sure where to take it next. However, I have good news. I now have an ending, now I just have to get it written.
I will finish this fic
. I won't give a definite posting schedule because I’m not sure I could stick to it. The next post is half written and I'm hoping to have it up soon. Soon as in within this month – hopefully! Feel free to bug me about it.
Again, I just want to thank everyone for reading and hanging in there. I had one person drop from the PM list because he/she lost interest due to the delays in posting. If anyone wants to be removed from the PM list, I understand. There will be no hard feelings. For those of you who wish to stick it out to the end, thank you! I hope you won't be disappointed.

Will do!
Chapter 39
A calloused hand rested on the child’s back, feeling the gentle rise and fall of her chest as she took each breath. The calm rhythm soothed his nerves and soon he fell asleep. Qui-Gon leaned against the doorframe watching his former padawan and his surrogate granddaughter, the little girl held protectively in her father’s embrace. He knew he had to broach the subject of what had happened at the Tusken camp, but the peaceful scene before him begged him to let it be.
Once inside the house, they had made Shmi as comfortable as possible in her and Cliegg’s sleeping quarters, awaiting the doctor’s arrival. Anakin had been placed in Owen’s room; Qui-Gon’s prior sleep suggestion still weighing heavily on his mind. The padawan quickly fell back into slumber upon lying down. It was within the hour that the physician arrived. After a thorough examination, he insisted that they get her to a reputable med unit as soon as possible. Although he believed she would live, he was concerned about her injuries healing properly. He had stopped the internal bleeding, set broken bones, bandaged the worst of the wounds and administered a broad spectrum antibiotic. Having done all he could do with his limited supplies and capabilities, he told them that the rest was up to her. Qui-Gon entered Shmi’s room shortly after the healer’s departure. Allowing the force to use him as its conduit, he poured a generous amount of force healing into Shmi’s battered and broken body, aiding her chance of recovery.
“Master Qui-Gon,” Padme whispered.
Turning his attention away from his former padawan, he focused on the Naboo Senator. A raised eyebrow asked for her to continue.
“We should take the doctor's advice and take Shmi to Naboo. We have excellent medical facilities, but we must leave soon.”
Taking it upon himself to make the decision for everyone, he nodded his acceptance of her proposal. Together, the two of them made arrangements and packed what was needed. When Cliegg made to shut the homestead down for a lengthy absence, Qui-Gon offered his help. Once things were ready for departure, Qui-Gon quietly entered Obi-Wan’s room and picked up his granddaughter. She wiggled in his arms, her eyes closed, trying to find a comfortable spot. Once satisfied, she quickly fell back to sleep. The Jedi Master was about to leave when he saw his padawan quickly sit up, looking around the room in panic. The elder man placed an arm on Obi-Wan’s shoulder to calm his overwrought mind. Gesturing for him to follow, the Knight eyed his former mentor with confusion but said nothing. Instead, he followed behind the man he trusted beyond all others.
Having been informed of their plans, Owen went into his room to rouse his brother from sleep and to explain the situation. Anakin groaned, shrugging off the offending object trying to wake him. Noting how the other was having trouble waking, Owen left to find their elder brother. Obi-Wan entered the room to find Anakin sitting up but leaning forward, his head resting against his hands, his mind trying to fight off the sleep suggestion his grandmaster had given him. Sitting down next to his padawan, the elder of the three slowly revived his apprentice, bringing him back to full awareness. When Anakin was awake enough to start questioning the situation, the three went to the ship and boarded.
X
A voice, low in volume, echoed through the open doorway. Qui-Gon slowly approached the room, stopping to lean against the frame of the opening. Jamiyan lay quietly on the ship bunk while her father soothed her with a song. His hand absently rubbing circles on her back, his gaze distant. When he felt her slip back into sleep, he went quiet, his hand stopping its motion but continuing to rest between her shoulder blades, feeling her chest rise with each breath she took. He had been unusually quiet since their return from the Tusken camp, his attention lost in all they had experienced.
A soft clearing of the throat reverberated through the small space bringing notice to the figure standing half in and half out of the room. Obi-Wan lowered his eyes to focus on his daughter, wanting to be sure she was asleep before allowing Qui-Gon to bring up the subject he knew he would not be allowed to ignore.
Jamiyan shifted in her sleep, a soft sigh escaping her lips signaling her contentment. Gesturing for his master to enter, Obi-Wan watched the older man until he was comfortably seated before turning away.
His voice low as to not wake the child, Qui-Gon asked, “What happened, Padawan?”
The younger man shook his head as if to say he wasn’t really sure. “When we found Shmi, a voice full of hatred and darkness found us.” When Qui-Gon merely looked at him with confusion etched in his features, Obi-Wan shrugged. “I can’t explain it better than that.”
“You mentioned
his
name. Do you feel it was the chancellor?”
“I know it was.”
It wasn’t that Qui-Gon didn’t believe him, but the distance between Tatooine and Coruscant was such that it would be difficult for even the strongest bond between a Jedi Master and Padawan to function. Knowing that he was being read like an open book, Qui-Gon held out his hand in supplication.
“I know his voice,” Obi-Wan said, his voice emotionless.
The look the Jedi Master received from his protégé spoke of action not yet planned. “What are you preparing to do?”
“It has to end.”
“Meaning?” Qui-Gon questioned, alarmed at the gleam in the younger man’s eye. A chill went down the Jedi’s spine at Obi-Wan’s answer.
“The apprentice becomes the master.”
“You’re going to confront him.”
The younger man shook his head. “I’m going to kill him.”
A shift on the bunk beside him brought Obi-Wan’s attention back to his daughter, his eyes softening, flecks of gold disappearing. “Shhh.” He gently ran a hand over the back of her head, allowing his fingers to trail through the blond tresses that reminded him so much of her mother. He would protect her; he would make sure the sith never touched his daughter in spirit or mind even if he had to lose himself in the process.
Worried, Qui-Gon reached over and placed a hand on Obi-Wan’s arm and squeezed it gently. “If you do this, you’re not doing it alone.”
“You’re not coming, Master. Anakin and I can handle this.”
“So your nineteen year old apprentice can help but an experienced master is not allowed?”
“As much as I disagree with the contact he’s had with Palpatine over the years, he at least knows what the man is capable of.”
“As do I, or do you not remember that I fought to retrieve my own apprentice from his grasp?”
“You’re not going.”
Obi-Wan stood from the sleep couch and made his way out of the room. Turning back toward Qui-Gon, his gaze flickered over to Jamiyan before saying, “Please take care of her.”
X
Obi-Wan walked toward the cockpit, a long hidden fire coursing through his veins, his hands clenched at his sides at the reminder of what he had given up in order to stay the course. The internal battle between his Jedi teachings and those of his former dark mentor raged as he tried to come to some sort of compromise: could the two be blended? Could he fight what might be his final battle and still save himself from turning completely? Not having an answer, he knew one thing was certain, he was going to end Palpatine's influence or die trying.
The voices down the corridor caused him to pause in the niche just outside the cockpit.
"Are you sure you're all right?" Owen's voice held a note of worry. "Maybe you should go rest."
The young man in question cast a cold calculating gaze toward his step-brother. "I told you, I’m fine."
Not one to be deterred and firmly believing his friend would do him no harm, the teen pressed forward. "I saw you; I saw you take their lives without so much as blinking. How can you sit there and act like it doesn't bother you?"
Anakin's eyes were glued to the control panel, his hands busily checking and rechecking the instruments. Anything to not see the accusing look he was sure Owen was throwing his way. When he remained silent, Owen asked, his voice betraying how shook up he was. "You and Obi-Wan fought each other, Anakin! Don't you feel anything?"
The padawan stilled in his motions to once again check the flight panel. "Too much," was the whispered reply.
"Owen."
The younger man turned to find Obi-Wan standing behind him. "Would you mind if I speak with Anakin a moment?"
The brown headed youth looked at his friend and then back to his elder brother. "Of course not." Once they were alone, Obi-Wan shut and locked the cockpit door before sitting down in the co-pilot's chair. Anakin's hands had withdrawn and were now resting on opposite armrests. Neither spoke for several moments, the elder Jedi trying to gauge his pupil's state of mind.
"Anakin." The request was firm, yet gentle. "Look at me."
When the young man raised his eyes to meet those of his mentor, there was such despair in them that Obi-Wan almost looked away…almost. Reaching across the short distance between them, he clasped his brother's forearm in reassurance that all was well between them.
"I'm so sorry." The anguished words came out hitched and broken. "I didn't know what I was doing." Anakin's eyes widened at the sudden realization of what he had done. "I killed them!" he lurched forward in his seat, his arms going protectively around a suddenly ill stomach. "I killed them!" his voice was on the verge of panic, hysteria.
Obi-Wan quickly turned his brother's seat around to face the cockpit door and knelt in front of him, grasping the boy's shoulders with both hands as he did so, an attempt to ground them both. "You were not yourself, young one." The elder brother swallowed before adding. "Neither was I."
Blue eyes rose to meet the stormy grey of his mentor. "I almost killed you."
"You won't be rid of me that easily, Anakin. Or do you think me an easy mark?" The smirk he gave his companion helped to lessen the sternness of his words. "And let's not forget, I was in a position to take your life as well. A task I am not sure I could follow through with. The important thing is that Shmi is safe, and we did not annihilate an entire village as we had intended."
"Thanks to grandmaster."
Obi-Wan nodded and answered somewhat sullenly. "Thanks to Qui-Gon."
"What is it?"
The elder Jedi stood from his knelt position and reclaimed the chair next to him. "I wonder if there will ever come a day when I won't need him to keep me from doing something reckless. Will I ever become strong enough to turn my back when the darkness calls?"
"You will. The same could be said of me; you saved me."
"No more than you saved me when I thought Qui-Gon was one with the force."
Anakin took a deep breath to calm his nerves, his brother's presence helping greatly to disperse the discontent he felt only moments before. "What do you have on your mind?"
When his mentor sighed because he wasn't sure how to begin, Anakin groaned while rolling his eyes. "I'm not going to like it am I?"
"Depends on how you view it."
"Well?"
"I heard whispers when we were at the Tusken camp, enticing whispers." Obi-Wan looked at Anakin to see his reaction. To his not quite surprise, Anakin nodded.
"I did to. At first I thought maybe you were broadcasting but then I realized that the words were coming through the force in an almost intimate manner, as if the source behind them knew us somehow." Anakin studied his brother, knowing the latter part of what he had said had affected him and then it clicked.
"You think it was Palpatine." When Obi-Wan gave a curt nod, Anakin replied, "But that doesn't make sense. Coruscant is light years away, too far to make contact that way."
"I agree; nevertheless, it was him."
The two men were silent. Anakin wasn't one hundred percent sure who the voice belonged to. The whispers he heard were but echoes through the bond he shared with Obi-Wan. Eyes widening, he began searching his own mind for any sign of an intrusion. Finding nothing but the two threads that tied him to his mentor and grandmaster, Anakin breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glanced at his brother, a question on his mind. "Did you share a bond with him?"
Obi-Wan's eyes flickered toward the view pane to the stars beyond. "At one time, yes. The one I shared with Qui-Gon was stronger and overshadowed the other. The day he took me off planet, we broke the ties that connected me to Palpatine; I still remember the excruciating pain it caused as the dark threads screamed in protest of the light that disintegrated it. Next thing I knew we had arrived at Alderaan and for the first time in years I felt truly free, like it had all been a bad dream. But now…."
"Obi-Wan, it's not that I don't enjoy your company, but you still haven't exactly told me why you came up here."
"After we get everyone settled on Naboo, I'm going to Coruscant to confront Palpatine. It's past time that this ends once and for all."
The padawan waited, gauging his master and the words that had been spoken. He waited for him to continue but no other explanation was forthcoming. "You're serious."
The Jedi nodded.
"I'm coming with you."
Obi-Wan smiled. "I was hoping you'd say that."
Anakin held up his hand to forestall any further comments. "But first you're seeing a healer about that shoulder. You won't be any good if you can't even handle your lightsaber."
Obi-Wan shook his head. "No, it will take too long."
"If we show up on his doorstep now he might be expecting it. Besides, we'll probably have to escape to Coruscant in a rather quiet fashion if we're to ditch Qui-Gon."
"I already told him he's not coming."
"And you think that will stop him?" Anakin raised an eyebrow daring him to disagree. When the elder Jedi backed down on that topic, the padawan decided to explain his actions regarding Palpatine these past years. "I know you were upset about my spending time with the Chancellor, but I only did it to help you break free. I know he was after you to become his apprentice." When Obi-Wan looked surprised by the information, the young man continued, "I thought I could handle the lessons without compromising my beliefs, but after the bout with the Tuskens I can see what a fool I was to ever think I could go up against the darkside without support. I'm sorry."
"What were you hoping to gain, Anakin?"
"I wanted to get the proof the Council needed to take action. But Palps never went as far as to slip at the most favorable moments. The day you and Qui-Gon confronted him about me, I had just managed to slip out after planting a camera in his office. I thought maybe if he acted out when he thought himself alone we'd get what we needed."
Obi-Wan's brow furrowed in thought. "Is that camera still in place?"
"Yeah, as far as I know, why?"
"We just may have use of it."
Anakin smiled when he caught on to what he was saying, but then frowned. "You'd better not do anything careless. Even if you think the rest of us could get along without you, Jamiyan doesn't deserve to lose both her parents. Besides, you promised Siri you'd be there to raise her."
At the mention of his deceased wife, Obi-Wan's features clouded. "I know what I promised, Anakin."
"Then keep it. Besides, you also promised that you'd see me through to Knighthood. Was that just talk?"
"And what of you? You're as irresponsible as they come."
The padawan grinned. "I learned from the best, but the important thing is that I still keep my promises."

Oh, wow, I just wish I could write like this....
“I know his voice,” Obi-Wan said, his voice emotionless.
The look the Jedi Master received from his protégé spoke of action not yet planned. “What are you preparing to do?”
“It has to end.”
“Meaning?” Qui-Gon questioned, alarmed at the gleam in the younger man’s eye. A chill went down the Jedi’s spine at Obi-Wan’s answer.
“The apprentice becomes the master.”
“You’re going to confront him.”
The younger man shook his head. “I’m going to kill him.”
Murder, Obi-Wan? Don't descend to his level. There's got to be another way.
"Anakin." The request was firm, yet gentle. "Look at me."
When the young man raised his eyes to meet those of his mentor, there was such despair in them that Obi-Wan almost looked away…almost. Reaching across the short distance between them, he clasped his brother's forearm in reassurance that all was well between them.

They are talking about this, good.
Obi-Wan's brow furrowed in thought. "Is that camera still in place?"
"Yeah, as far as I know, why?"
"We just may have use of it."
Ah, Plan B is hatched - it's got to be better than murder, right? Though if Palpy should just happen to fall upon a lit lightsaber, I wouldn't complain.
Your story is written so well it just draws one on and on - and then suddenly the chapter ends and one can breathe - and start waiting for the next update.

RE: Life Beyond the Code (AU - Post TPM: Obi-Wan/Anakin) Chapter 23 - Updated 5-26-08
WOW! It was such a wonderful surprise to see this lovely story updated! I like it so much!
So now Obi-Wan and Anakin are going to confront Palpatine...I can't wait to see it!
The internal battle between his Jedi teachings and those of his former dark mentor raged as he tried to come to some sort of compromise: could the two be blended? Could he fight what might be his final battle and still save himself from turning completely?
These lines are very interesting...could they indicate what "balance to the Force" really means?
Please, update soon!

It doesn't sound good that Anakin and Obi-Wan are going alone to face Palpatine. I think they do need Qui as backup.
"If we show up on his doorstep now he might be expecting it. Besides, we'll probably have to escape to Coruscant in a rather quiet fashion if we're to ditch Qui-Gon."
"I already told him he's not coming."
"And you think that will stop him?"
For some reason, I found that very funny. They both must know that Qui-Gon is infinitely more stubborn than either one of them.
Good job. Looking forward to more.

"If we show up on his doorstep now he might be expecting it. Besides, we'll probably have to escape to Coruscant in a rather quiet fashion if we're to ditch Qui-Gon."
"I already told him he's not coming."
I know Qui's not exactly Palpy's biggest fan, but like Master Qui said, having an experienced Master couldn't hurt...
"And you think that will stop him?"
True. Qui-Gon's not one to let his padawans get hurt. He's way protective of Obi and Anakin. And considering Palpy's evilness...
I, for one, am looking forward to the Palpy/Obi/Ani confrontation. I hope they kick some old wrinly Sith butt! *waves Jedi flag* I hope everything turns out alright...
'Cause I'm getting very worried.
Once again thanks for the PM and this story's moving along wonderfully!

Oh, this is still so interesting.
I'm betting Qui-Gon will follow them in one way or another, though.
