Title: Remember...
Author: Alley_Skywalker
Gener: Angst, songfic
Characters: Anakin, Obi-Wan
Timeline: End and post ROTS
Summary: End and Post ROTS in Obi-Wan's and Anakin's POVs.
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. The song "Remember When It Rained" belongs to Josh Groban.
Notes: This is just a sad little song fic to "Remember When It Rained" in both Ani's and Obi's POVS. Enjoy!



Anakin's POV

Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you.
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do.


It’s really no use denying it anymore. I can blame you all I want but the reality remains. You’re the one I always held to. You’re the one person whom I longed to please…except for her. And I thought that we were inseparable, unbreakable, undefeatable. But now…all this hate. All this fear. Have my sacrifices been for nothing? Why did you leave that day? Why didn’t you stay at the time that I needed you most? And now I’ve lost everything.

My whole life has been upside-down. My whole world has been shattered by my own hand.

I lost her. My love! My angel! How I wish that she could forgive me. But now she probably hates me. Why? Why did you turn her against me?

And I lost you...my mentor...my father figure...my best friend...my brother.

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
Felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the darkness I remain.


And now as I fall so close to the red sea of lethal lave I’m cold inside and it rains inside my heart. You’re yelling something. Something about me being the Chosen One. Something about the Sith and leaving the Force in darkness. Damn it why do you just stand there? So I call you’re name. I call with my mind, pleading with you. Obi-Wan! Please, please help me!

But you don’t hear me. Or maybe you just don’t want to hear me. But you pick my lightsaber and start walking away. No! Obi-Wan, please don’t leave me here! You say that I’m like a brother to you. You say you love me. Then why are you walking away, Obi-Wan, why? I’ve always been there for you. Please, please be here for me at least this one time.

But you’re already gone and the flames consume me. And I’m alone in the darkness.

Obi-Wan's POV

Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die.


I still think of you. Even though months have passed I still think of you. And when I look up at the starry sky I can’t resist the tears. I hope that one day you will see the light, my friend. I hope that you will turn away from the darkness which has consumed you.

I remember the things I wish I could forget because it hurts to remember the days when you were by my side. The days when I could turn to you with any request. The days when you’d help me through anything. And I would do the same. It hurts to remember the way you’d smile and the way your eyes would sparkle because then I am forced to remember just how much I’ve lost. I’m slowly dying without you, Anakin. Oh what in the galaxy possessed you to think that I would ever betray you like you claimed that day when my life went to hell?

Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
I felt the ground and looked up high
And called your name.
Ohhhhhh Remember when it rained.
In the water I remain


It rained yesterday. Tatooine hadn’t seen rain for two decades. I remember how fascinated you always were by rain. I went outside and felt the rain fall, soaking my cloths and my hair. I looked up to the grey sky and called your name. Both out loud and with my mind. My only answer was silence and darkness.

And then I wondered: how could the Force be so cruel? How could it take away from me the center of my universe. It’s terrible enough to loose the Order, my whole way of life. But to loose you is unbearable.

My padawan...my son...my best friend...my brother.

That was awesome, really. I loved the way you paralleled both Anakin and Obi-Wan's thoughts and the love you showed between them. I've always thought about using that song as a songfic for Star Wars, and I think you managed it brilliantly. Great job!

applause applause applause

*sniffs* I don't usually read songfics so I'm really glad I broke that rule this time. Well not really *glad* - this was so sad! But you know what I mean...

You say you love me. Then why are you walking away, Obi-Wan, why?

Good question. wink
