That was one of my favorite storylines in the comics! tongue

It had taken only moments to remove all signs of Obi-Wan’s presence, and that’s when reality punched Anakin in the gut.

Obi-Wan was gone.

Not dead. He would argue that Obi-Wan was alive to his dying day. Obi-Wan was missing, and considering no one believed that fact, he was likely to remain missing until he was truly gone, truly dead. Anakin could do nothing, boxed in by hard realities and painful awareness of his choices.


That was really powerful, mostly because it's so true. It's that cleaning out of belongings that often makes the loss hit home. Poor Anakin! cry

Loved the rollercoaster ride of emotions from frustration to grief to anger. All over the map, just as it would be. I loved, too, the memory of Obi-Wan not thinking he should make a holocron, that he had no wisdom that he hadn't learned from Yoda or Qui-Gon. Oh, modest man to be so blind to his own greatness.
I also loved that he kept that small case from Qui-Gon. How like him to be deeply committed to another person's memory but not outwardly showy about it.


This was wonderful. You are such a good writer. Loved it. applause

Ah, one of my face updates in this fic.
You do a very nice job describing emotions. Anakin is so...lost...poor kid sad
I liked Ani's convo with Aubrie as well. I think I've heard the name before but IDK. Is she an OC?

Great update applause


EDIT: I just noticed something. I think the prob I PMed you about isn't a coding problem but rather the result of me being listed twice on the PM list happy

Another great update! applause
Very nice description of Anakin's feeling. I think it must be extremely difficult for him hearing all the other people talk of Obi-Wan's death when he is so sure that his Master is still alive!

(...)he teased, pleased with the answering sparkle in his master’s eyes, and quickly ducked away so that the descending hand could not tweak his padawan braid.
How he hated that tug and how he now missed it. He missed the hand dropped onto his shoulder with the little squeeze that always followed. He missed the tight grin when they were about to spring a trap, or the queasy look in Obi-Wan’s eyes when Anakin was piloting.

I love how Anakin remembers these little "unimportant" things about Obi-Wan!

... but you are mean, ending the previous chapter with such a cliffhanger and not telling us what happened to Obi-Wan! shame_on_you

Somebody is lashing out here! However, Anakin's emotions are very realized, and understandable. His pain is also very apparant - I hope someone believes him before it is too late for Obi-Wan

great post
Poor anakin.
I loved the way you described his emotions and how he missed obi-wan.
He remembered the amusement in his master’s voice as he had said, “I have no particular wisdom to leave for those who follow us. What I leave behind me as my legacy to future Jedi is you, my padawan, the Chosen One. If I am remembered at all, it will be for having been the one to train the best amongst us – assuming we both survive each other until the day you come into your own.”
I loved this part
great work

Anakin was startled from his thoughts and he frowned. Obi-Wan had laughed at the idea. He remembered the amusement in his master’s voice as he had said, “I have no particular wisdom to leave for those who follow us. What I leave behind me as my legacy to future Jedi is you, my padawan, the Chosen One. If I am remembered at all, it will be for having been the one to train the best amongst us – assuming we both survive each other until the day you come into your own.”

The words, as well as the warmth behind them, had stunned Anakin into stammering praises of his master’s wisdom. In typical Obi-Wan fashion, the Jedi had brushed them off.

“What wisdom you hear from me is wisdom I learned from Yoda and my own master; I take no credit for they have taught me all that I know and it is their teachings I pass on to you.”

“Yes, you are little more than a droid spouting platitudes and Jedi wisdom learned at its master’s knees,” he teased, pleased with the answering sparkle in his master’s eyes, and quickly ducked away so that the descending hand could not tweak his padawan braid.


I loved the rememberances from Anakin and Obi's convo. very in character!

Fantastic chapter, great job on getting inside Anakin's head. I actually feel sorry for him (which is highly unusual for me). Can't wait for the next update.

Beautiful as always, VS. I really liked how Anakin's first show of grief was missing someone by him when he slept. His commitment to Obi-Wan, even with everyone around him disbelieving, is beautiful and wonderfully Anakin-like. I really liked how the tidbits that made him Vader still exist here in his mourning for Obi-Wan. The poor boy loses so much so often. You write his anguish ridiculously well.

Much applause , VS. My apologies for taking so long. It has been a rough couple days and I'm sloooooooow. I adored it as always.

This was a great chapter. It almost makes me feel some sympathy for the little pipsqueak. The heartache and emptiness Anakin feels are almost palpable (not in an emperor-like way). You have a rare talent for making a reader feel the intensity and depth of a character's emotions.

Also, I like how Anakin's bond and love for his Master begin to show his possesiveness and insecurity. He will not let Obi-wan go; Obi-wan can only be dead if he allows him to be by letting go. Certainly, the words of a grieving soul, but, ultimately, the words of a selfish child. And then we get into the final rant, "You lied to me. You said you'd be here and you're not. I want you and you are not here." How dare you, Obi-wan? How dare you be human and be hurt or captured when the Great One needs his ego stroked and his fears soothed.

Yes, yes, I like very much. I hope your muse feels better soon so that it can begin to cooperate. Give it some chicken soup and two aspirins so that it can call you in the morning.

Thanks for putting me on the pm list.
