Bonds of the Released, BIG JA AU, 2/23

I must be crazy to be starting another thread but I get so many plot bunnies and so little time. <sigh> Just so you know, this one is only going to be upped once a week. I've got to much to do to do more. You know: school, school, school, homework, fit in a social life somewhere.


Summary: Obi-Wan is a slave and Qui-Gon never became a Jedi.
Spoilers: None that I can think of.
Disclaimers: George owns them. I wouldn't harm them much. Well, at least not Qui-Gon.

__________________
Qui-Gon Jinn sat in a chair pondering how the universe had thrown his yet another unexpected twist in his path. And just when he had things under something resembling control too.

He snorted. That?s probably why it happened. His life couldn?t get too boring, now could it?

His chin resting in his hand, his gaze on the small figure in an over sized bed. Satin sheets and feathered comforters made more of a small lump then the person lying there. Pillows lined the headboard; all embroidered or hand sewn, more for show then use. The bed, Force the whole room was probably overkill. But then that?s all he had in his home. Correction. His mansion.

He shifted in his seat, looking for a more comfortable position. Though the chair wasn?t that comfortable to began with. Made out of fine Alerrain Cherry Wood, intricately carved with a red satin cushion, the chair matched the rest of the room. Expensive, elegant?and very uncomfortable.

Why did I even buy this stuff? Jinn thought for the hundredth time today. I don?t even use this room unless I have quests, and that?s only if the other couple dozen quest rooms were being used. And when was the last time I had a completely full house? It?s not like I have many parties. Or at least ones that require people to stay the night. His own room was more? modest then this. Yes, he had the best that was available, but Qui-Gon made sure that all of it to his tastes and one of those was just simple simplicity. None of this snob-nosed, high classed overkill on luxury that filled the room he found himself in. He snorted again and almost laughed. He was one of those snob-nosed, high-class people. Or at least to those that didn?t know him.

To them, he was one of the richest, most successful businessmen in the Republic. Owner of one the largest shipping companies, plus several smaller enterprises, the name Qui-Gon Jinn brought wonder to many. Manly those who wished they had even half of his riches. Not to mention that he ruled his own world.

Well, almost.

If he really wanted to, he knew he could. Between his money and power, the planet that he had his home on could easy be in his total and unbreakable control. But he was perfectly happy with simply being on the small board of advisers that reported to the King. He had enough to think about with his ships that he didn?t need a planet on top of it.

To those who knew him, really knew him, he wasn?t at all like most other stuck-up rich and wealthy people that he had to associate with. While he wasn?t being egotistical or full of himself, he did know that he was kind hearted, friendly and could never turn down a poor-suffering soul. A fact that irritated his staff to no end. Though they personally wouldn?t have it any other way, they did grimace every time he ?handed out their pay check?, as he heard his accountant say once, to every desperate person that came to his door.

But then, almost half his staff for the house had come into his service that way. What a better way to help them get back on their feet then with a job?

He came back to the present as the heavy wood door opened silently behind him. He already knew who was coming in before he had turned around. And he knew that because of his ability to use the Force. That was one the few things that he kept from all but his most trusted servants and friends. All of which he could count on two hands.

He smiled softly at the entering woman. Dark haired, fair skinned and sad eyed, Shmi Skywalker, while not an instant beauty was nevertheless beaut

 

Cool! I have never seen anything like this before. More?

 

Never thought of something like this before............How come you always beat Obi up anyway?

 

Haha! No Anakin!!.... right?

*puppy eyes*

Please say Anakin's not in this story?? Because if he is... *evil look* I have a bazooka, and I know how to use it.

*innocent grin*

Not like I would or anything.

 

Hmmm, this is very interesting! I think I liket his beginning! More?

 

oh more please this sounds really good

 

ApprenticeM ~ How come I always beat up Obi? First of all, I've only put up two fics. And second, are you complaning? What? You don't like Obi-torture?

Anakin? Um, no not in this one. At least not until the very end. Maybe.

More next week, folks.

MoreMoreMoreMoreMoreMoreMoreMoreMore.....please?
This is really good

 

Me? Not like Obi torture? thinks about that statement...... Um, I think this'll solve any misunderstandings:

So when does the torture start?

 

Anakin! You better not put that little snot in here! *Pouts* If you do I won't read this story anymore!.........*Thinks about it*

Actually, I still will, but PLEASE don't put him in there! PLEASE!?

Just upping this.

Ahh, slave Obi. I love slave Obi stories. I like slave Qui-Gon stories too, but I don't see as many of those. Looking forward to some more of this.

 

I think I speak for all when I say...

"Swede, it's time for a post!"

WE all have our own torture techniques to go after fic writers and we're not afraid to use them. (I know I am not )

Knight_Obi

 

Nice AU idea, I want to see what's going to happen next.
I hope Ani is not in the story, no offends, I just...just...like a father\son relationship between Obi\Qui more. *Don't hate me please.*

 

Great start. It's a very different idea for a story. This could be interesting.

 

interesing idea, will be watching for more.
