Hi!

I can honestly say that this story is leaving me speechless (in a positive way wink ) - and that despite the fact that I'm only slowly working my way through it. Now please excuse my lack of coherency as I'm not too capable of putting my thoughts into words here but I absolutely love the way you show Obi-Wan's inner strength and at the same time his vulnerability and don't even get me started on all the other characters (i.e. the discreet and not so discreet hints of Anakin's character which are there but aren't judgmental). Overall I just wanted to say that I'm amazed and thank you for sharing this gem with us happy

She had always entertained the opinion that the combination of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan,
skilled as they doubtlessly were, was like a silent invitation for trouble.

Fantastic ending, simply fantastic applause

For me, this said it all: No dramatic pause or triumphal swell of the Force marked the end of his story. It ended simply, with Obi-Wan rubbing his eyes and slumping back in his seat as Siri’s arm tightened around him.

For a moment no one spoke. What words, really, were appropriate?

The silence was finally broken, by Obi-Wan himself. He straightened up and looked at each in turn, ending with Siri. He gazed at her, savoring the moment to come. He had found the words that the others could not. Two words, deceptively simple yet with a wealth of meaning, punctuated by a smile.

“I’m free.”

The worst was behind him – and the future beckoned.

Gkilkenny: Congratulations on a terrific story blush Thanks.

earlybird-obi-wan: Again, blush , thanks.

Raptor517: Simple and to the point, but loaded with meaning and feeling. That's what I was aiming for - thanks.

Kenobism: thank you for sharing this gem with us ... thank you for coming by. I am definitely partial to Obi-Wan, but I think Anakin's flaw is that he has flaws that a Jedi can't afford. In a "normal" person they would have less potential for harm.

Veloz: It seemed fitting to end on a soft note - peace has come at last. The triumphant horns and all have their place - but Obi-Wan's story isn't over. It's just the end of one chapter of his life - as much as one can say a chapter is over, for the events in one's life have repercussions well into the future.

VaderLVR64: You don't need to say anything - just knowing you are enjoying it is enough.

applause I just finished this wonderful tale, Valairy. I love how you depicted Obi-Wan's recovery and how he fought so hard for his sanity. Very realistic... or at least what I would imagine to be real. Great job! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Obiwans_gurl86: I'm glad you liked it. The sequel is already up.

p_stotts: I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was tough to write sometimes.

Gkilkenny: Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, eh? Well, I do want to finish two ancient stories that got up to 2 chapters and mysteriously vanished, but I seem to be concentrating on the sequel to this story instead.

The sequel is Truths of the Heart which is overall much lighter in tone and will develop the romance more.
