	Can I just say you're tearing my heart out. I think Obi-wan has to be the most made to suffer character in fanfiction, but he just lends himself so easily to this type of characterization. He is one of those individuals that are honorable to a fault, denying the self and embodying altruism. While he will run himself into the ground to return to Anakin, he fails to see the frailty of his own humanity. I think this is the same paradox that led to Anakin's fall. I do not see Obi-wan as a failure as his own ghostly apparition bemoaned in Return of the Jedi. I think that his dedication and stubborness blinded him to the emotional instability in Anakin that fueled his insecurity and need for constant reaffirmation. I hope Obi-wan has a worthwhile reunion with his apprentice after all the hell he has had to go through what with plunging over a cliff and turning into a human ice cube. By the way, this business with the comlink not being answered. Surely it could not be that Anakin is so overwhelmed by his grief that he has not noticed the beeping coming from his belt. As usual, if this is the case, the kid is frozen by his fear and cannot see that his actions due to said fear are only hurring along that which he is so afraid of.

	For himself, and for Anakin, for he didn’t want to leave his padawan to mourn his master of just a few months. He all too well knew the pain of being left behind, and while he could, he would fight with every breath he had left to return to his padawan. He would do it for Qui-Gon, he would do it for Anakin, and he would do it for himself. He would do it for a future full of possibilities. That's Obi-Wan in a nutshell, never thinking of himself before others. You do very well with Obi-Wan's perspective.

	Gkilkenny: Your Evil, you know that don’t you. Oh, course. JediMasterJessica: Well, he catches a break, here. Dianethx: Oh, love the way you wove what Anakin had seen with what Obi-Was was seeing in this chapter - the setting sun, the way he thought Obi-Wan had called to him and then with night coming on, his acceptance that Obi was dead - I guess because Obi thought he was going to die. The interweaving was deliberate, as I’m sure you knew. Problem is that now he thinks he's going to die. I don't see how you are going to get him out of this but maybe he needs a bit more warmth. Turn on that lightsaber! Like the thread in Resources, the clouds are necessary so that the lightsaber doesn’t stand as a beacon, and there’s nothing to warm him. VaderLVR64: What I loved best about this chapter is how well you portray Obi-Wan's complete and utter faith in the Force! That is SO Obi-Wan. He believes in the Force and following its will with every fiber of his being. I agree...I think his facing everything in Naboo just cemented that. Amidalachick: Your writing is so beautifully descriptive, and this passage was especially lovely. I love how he sees the light as saving him. Thanks so much. I love the look of back-lighted snow – it truly does look like diamonds, especially when it’s hoarfrost. Kelia: I certainly hope help in some form or another comes to Obi after all he's been through. Poor guy can use a break. Umm… he who helps himself and all that. Sure, he needs his friends and padawan, but Obi saves himself. Earlybird-obi-wan: Smacks self in head - you know, truly I never once thought of that scene in ESB, but it is glaringly obvious in hindsight. The outcome is different, though. I haven’t watched the OT in several years. I keep wanting to do a marathon of all 6 some nasty weekend, but the time I tried I lost power watching TPM, for several hours. I won’t devote a nice weekend to it, either. When it’s nice, I want to be outdoors skiing or hiking. VA_Parky: What are you doing to me? I was feeling all confident after the previous post and now my poor Obi (uh, huh, he’s mine) is suffering worse than ever! I just want to give him a hug - oh, and probably about a dozen Advil too. Ouch! Your descriptions of his injuries are so well done, I find my OWN shoulder aching (that IS a compliment? )- and you're making me very glad that I'm reading this while huddled under an electric blanket. Laine_Snowtrekker: Glad you liked it! Luna: Wow--that was intense. Obi-Wan is deeply injured, and I really love how you managed to bring out so much of his personality as he fights it. I loved the "not good"--I had a wry grin there for a moment. He's trying so hard to get back to Anakin, and I love how he remembers Anakin and Qui-Gon as he does so. Seeing through Qui-Gon's eyes in the beginning was really a brilliant idea, too. Ah, I get on these thematic ideas sometime, first the “eyes” in They Who Are Left Behind then I think, hey, try a variation in this story. If you want to be technical, blue ice requires sunlight I believe, so I’m not sure you’d see blue ice deep down in a crevasse, but hey, literary license, right? Fifillia: I could almost feel the cold myself! shivering. Great. I always love the "Oh, not good" line! Me, too, though I can’t remember which movie it’s in! Healer_Leona: Even while he felt the inevitable coming, his demise, OBi-Wan had faith and trust in the Force. Very tortuous, but still a beautiful chapter. Cael-Fenton: I hereby pronounce your splatting of Obi-Wan entirely satisfactory. Victory! Your characterisation of Obi-Wan was well-crafted, and you brilliantly described how Obi-Wan was pushing himself, which makes the close of the chapter all the more heartwrenching. This is where Anakin finds him and then they cuddle up for hot Milo and bedtime stories, right? Right? Oh, all right, all right already. Barriss31: *I think that his dedication and stubborness blinded him to the emotional instability in Anakin that fueled his insecurity and need for constant reaffirmation. Well said. I hope Obi-wan has a worthwhile reunion with his apprentice after all the hell he has had to go through what with plunging over a cliff and turning into a human ice cube. I like that last description. I hope you like this reunion. By the way, this business with the comlink not being answered. Surely it could not be that Anakin is so overwhelmed by his grief that he has not noticed the beeping coming from his belt. As usual, if this is the case, the kid is frozen by his fear and cannot see that his actions due to said fear are only hurring along that which he is so afraid of. Ah, I caught that in a read-thru and thought myself, why the heck doesn’t he comlink Anakin? So, in chapter (3?) when Anakin sets it to “emergency,” he notices it has been turned off. That’s one of several things I had to work in to explain certain things: Hurt so he can’t use the Force to jam the anchor in, comlink turned off so he can’t use it to contact Anakin, running lights left on for faint illumination, clouds to hide the anchor from the rescuing Jedi, clouds so that Obi-Wan has no idea which way to go – otherwise, he’d just ignite his lightsaber and wave it until someone saw it, right? Frozen so he can’t speak, so Anakin and the readers think he’s a ghost…the list is endless. JoanneJinn: That's Obi-Wan in a nutshell, never thinking of himself before others. Yeah, he comes last in the scheme of things because his life is dedicated to others. Luminara_Kenobi: More? Okay, second to last chapter. Chapter 8. Treasures of the Night Lights twinkled above him when Obi-Wan raised his face from its pillow of snow. Stars – the stars were like gems in the night – sapphires, and rubies, and diamonds and more – a gift from the Force, this which would be his last sight. Entranced, he stared upwards and felt a bit of warmth steal through him. Strange, to die of exposure while being warmed by the stars, he mused idly. At least it was not an unpleasant way to die. His only regret was leaving Anakin without a master, another loss the young boy would not take well. So many things Anakin didn’t yet understand, despite all Obi-Wan’s attempts to teach him. “Death is not the end, Anakin. Death is a return home, to the Force. Death is living, just not in corporeal form.” “Then why do you mourn Qui-Gon?” He had tried to find an answer, in the midst of grief, on their way to Qui-Gon’s funeral, his eyes dropping to Anakin’s hand clasped in his before raising them to meet his eyes. “Because we are corporeal beings, Anakin. While we live, we mourn that which was once living, lost to us, though it is only transformed, not lost. To be human is to mourn, to be Jedi is to accept and let go.” Let go. Maybe it was time to let go. Maybe the Force had beckoned him here so that he would die knowing Anakin’s rescuers had arrived; that his padawan was or would be soon safe. Maybe this was a gift to him, before the Force brought him home. He looked to the sky, tried to smile. “Don’t mourn me long, Anakin. Accept my death and let me go.” He knew Anakin didn’t handle losses well, but Obi-Wan also knew that Anakin had been none too pleased to discover that Obi-Wan would assume his training. He had consented, that was true, had accepted him as his master willingly, but Obi-Wan suspected it was as much because Obi-Wan was the only Jedi he knew and therefore far more acceptable than a complete stranger. Missing his mother, missing Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin had yearned for stability, for familiarity. They had grown close, but the affection Anakin had for his master was born as much of proximity as true caring: Obi-Wan had been the only being that had bridged the gulf from Tatooine to Naboo to Coruscant. Anakin had always hesitated to fully open himself to the bond, which his master both regretted and had been learning to accept. “Remember you must move on, my padawan.” A small light flared within his mind. Obi-Wan puzzled over it before he understood: he could access a tiny portion of the bond with his padawan. Not enough to call him, not enough to tell him he was out here, somewhere, but enough that he could pull just a bit of warmth through the bond – not much – but enough to keep him from freezing, to think, to realize – the stars above were not stars, but lights of the rescue ship! A beacon to the dying, a sign of life to one resigned to the loss of it – it was his guide and his salvation. Not all that far, and yet all too far. If he stumbled up the snowfield half the night, did not fall or falter, if he avoided crevasses, he might make it before morning’s first light. Or he might fall short, and collapse, only to die, within sight of the ship, even closer and yet way too distant, to be found when the inhabitants arose, a mere speck in the snow. Do or do not. With his last breath, with his last step, with his last thought, he would make it, step by slow step. He had promised to hang on, and a Jedi never broke a promise. He pushed slowly to his feet, first to one knee, then both, then up - up, not bothering to brush the snow from his face and clothing. One step, then another…he was returning to his padawan…one step and another. Tired, he was so tired, but he had to keep going. Another foot in front of the other one, and one more again. Take a deep breath, refocus. Each step was a step closer to help, each step another closer to his padawan. Each step was reinforcing his promise. His feet felt like blocks of ice, numb. Each step he kicked registered less and less, each time he fell, or even came close, it got harder and harder to get back to his feet. He had nothing left in him but his will. When his body faltered, his will prodded him on. You’re a stubborn man, padawan mine. Qui-Gon had been smiling when he said that, finally conceding to his apprentice’s determination not to be bested this time. His master had not just wished him to demonstrate his independence, but encouraged it and Obi-Wan knew it was a sign that his master was preparing to let him go - eventually. They had not spoken of Obi-Wan’s readiness for the trials: both knew the time was nearing, but both knew the time was not yet. Fate had forced their hand and prepared the padawan in a way that neither could have foreseen at the time. You’ve taught me that stubbornness can win some battles that can’t be won any other way, Master. Stubbornness can be either a virtue, or a vice, Obi-Wan. Then I shall follow your example, Master, and make it always a virtue. His mischievous smile had made Qui-Gon laugh and clap him on the back. He remembered that exchange for it had been only a few weeks before they had left to negotiate a treaty between the Naboo and the Trade Federation – only weeks before his entire world had fallen apart and he had been forced to hold himself together, for that was what he had been trained to do: keep a level head during the middle of crisis. He had temporarily lost it, and nearly died for its lack as a result during his battle. He had resolved never to lose his center again; to hold onto that strength he had found when he had surrendered himself to the Force and lived. He would call on that stubbornness now. He had to keep going. One step, then another. A large patch of light appeared, closed – in the door’s brief opening he had seen a small figure – his padawan – appear and move off. Close, he was so close now. “Anakin!” But the call couldn’t escape his cold lips; his own ears did not hear it. He was within shouting distance, but he could not shout, could not speak; he could not even whisper. Relief and fear battled in his heart: Anakin was safe, but why was he out in the dark and the cold? Why was he alone? And why, a moment later, was he shouting, “I – hate – you!”? No, don’t hate, Anakin. Never hate. He needed to get to Anakin; his padawan needed him. If he could only teach Anakin one lesson, it would be never to hate, to let it go, to embrace only the light and renounce the dark. “No,” he croaked through stiff lips, arms outstretched. “Padawan – Anakin, don’t hate.” “I hate you.” No, Anakin, please. Listen to your master… I won’t let you hate – I won’t let you…. He was fading fast, he hadn’t the strength to move the last few feet forward – Anakin, it’s me… Unable to take even one more step forward, he stared at his padawan, reached out a trembling arm and stuttered words that would not come. Stared, with eyes that barely focused, spoke with lips that could not form words, and reached with one arm that trembled, only to fall flat on the snow, his strength finally expended. He lay, exhausted and weary – endured Anakin’s hands beating at him, denying his very existence until he wondered if perhaps he truly was a ghost – until reality replaced unreality and Anakin’s cries of “go ‘way” turned into cries of “you came back.” Anakin fell upon him, hugs replacing blows, and Obi-Wan thought he had never been so happy as now when collapsed in the snow with his padawan’s arms around him. He would have hugged him back, had his arms allowed. He shifted off his stomach, wincing as he rolled partially onto his side. He needed to see Anakin’s face, not just feel his arms hugging his neck or his tears dampening his cheek – he needed to know that his padawan was truly okay. All Obi-Wan could see was the back of his head; Anakin refused to let go. It was a weakness, a Jedi needed to know how to let go – and when, he then decided. When didn’t need to be now; when could wait. When could be later, when he, too, no longer needed the comfort. One bruised and torn hand slowly crept out, rested on his padawan’s shoulder. It was the best he could offer, a poor substitute for the hug he wished to return. Obi-Wan lay shivering and half buried under his padawan. He had kept his promise. He had hung on until now his padawan hugged him close, and Obi-Wan knew his very struggle to live was over – he had come back as he had all but promised. He would need to address Anakin’s emotions later, when he could speak coherently and when he had command of his own, for his close brush with mortality had loosened his control over his own. Relaxing into his padawan’s hug and the knowledge that he had survived made him incapable of focusing his attention where it was so clearly needed. Waves of grief and joy washed through and over him as he felt his padawan’s slowly dissipating pain and wild elation, mingling with his own intense relief and happiness. He had never thought that Anakin would be affected this strongly by his death or disappearance; they were certainly growing closer all the time but it was hardly the kind of bond that would cause this frenzied desperation. There would be time to puzzle over that later, discuss when he had his strength back. For now it was enough to know that his padawan was safe and that the two were reunited. He could feel the thin strands of the bond reweaving themselves from the sheer strength of Aakin’s unwitting Force broadcast of all his emotions – his relief, his joy, and finally, his affection for the man who hadn’t known the depth of them until now. He buried his face in Anakin’s tunic and wept. Another chapter to come.... Postscript: Now that you know Obi-Wan survived – I always meant for that to happen, but then the way it was expanding I almost thought it best to have him die. Life doesn’t always have happy endings (but I wish it did, so almost always Obi will come out of any situation okay). Some of you were quite clever in what you picked up as clues on Obi’s survival. Luminara – Dianethx – Cole_Kenobi: you guys win the prize for pointing out the clues I left. LuvEwan, too. Despite Anakin’s last words, he never believed Obi-Wan was dead, at least until this second night. Not a giveaway, but a clue. The “ghost” stumbling… clothed in white (good catch )..” plus Anakin beating at something of substance (I understand ghosts have none). I even wrote: “He could feel him: the tiny glow in his mind that was the training bond, open; feel him, the certainty of his presence nearby,” – it was the merest opening from which Obi-Wan would draw a bit of warmth. It wasn’t Anakin’s imagination, and that’s why Anakin felt so cold – like “a man out in the cold for far too long.” That’s also why “The cold called to him and he had to obey, for the cold was of the Force. Go, you must go, for tomorrow you leave. By his side you must be tonight. There would be no funeral pyre for Obi-Wan, for no body would be found; no body recovered.” The Force knew Obi was alive, but Anakin didn’t interpret it correctly, (and if he hadn’t obeyed, Obi would almost certainly have died out there) hopefully you readers didn’t either. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/fan_fiction_resource/b10304/25405090/p3/?52 Prolific Author thread: list & links there.

	Oh yay, a happy update at last! It was sad to see Obi-Wan hoping that Anakin would be able to take the loss okay and underestimating [as usual] his own impact on the kid's life. If only he knew how Padawan has been behaving these few days past. Glorious writing as usual. You only get better with each successive Obi//Ani. Keep 'em coming!

	Absolutely breath-taking! Do or do not. With his last breath, with his last step, with his last thought, he would make it, step by slow step. He had promised to hang on, and a Jedi never broke a promise. He pushed slowly to his feet, first to one knee, then both, then up - up, not bothering to brush the snow from his face and clothing.

Then I shall follow your example, Master, and make it always a virtue. I had started to suspect a few posts back that he had survived, but I wasn't sure. Glad to know he has and that I was right. I love mysteries, so I like trying to pick out the important clues that don't seem so important. But I also don't like to be wrong and make my guesses public.

	Anakin fell upon him, hugs replacing blows, and Obi-Wan thought he had never been so happy as now when collapsed in the snow with his padawan’s arms around him. He would have hugged him back, had his arms allowed. He shifted off his stomach, wincing as he rolled partially onto his side. He needed to see Anakin’s face, not just feel his arms hugging his neck or his tears dampening his cheek – he needed to know that his padawan was truly okay. All Obi-Wan could see was the back of his head; Anakin refused to let go. It was a weakness, a Jedi needed to know how to let go – and when, he then decided. When didn’t need to be now; when could wait. When could be later, when he, too, no longer needed the comfort. Sorry, probably highlighted a little too much there. It's such a lovely image though, it kinda reminds of the ending of the film adaptation of A Little Princess. (I always end up sniffling there too.)
