Before - Legends The Jinn and Kenobi Chronicles - a series of vignettes - Confession, Qui's POV on Recovery

This one leaves me beyond words, VL. There was just something about it that left me...whoa. I loved how Qui-Gon changed the pillow.

 

Wonderful series of viggies! I really liked this last one, and the sick Qui one.

 

The relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan was very nicely portrayed here.

Qui-Gon was absolutely the tender father as he kept his vigil by Obi-Wan's bedside. I also loved him changing the pillow. That is just the sort of small but important gesture that a loved one would make.

His admission to Obi-Wan at the end had me in tears.

 

Awwww! He ordered him to not die cuz he couldn't bare being left alone! How sweet was that??

I loved it! Great job! Poor Qui...not resting at all as he worried over his charge. Feel the love!!

 

maychorian Accident prone? Yes, but he could rest his aching head on my shoulder any time!

Obi_Kenobi_Devotee Ah yes, dreaded baby-sitting. My daughter knows your pain quite well! Thanks for reading.

LuvEwan I thought it was something a loved one would do. And Qui obviously loves his Padawan.

Jedi_Tigris Thank you so much! I enjoy writing them!

Jedi_Chani Thanks! THe more I write them the more I love them.

Kynstar Being a manly man, he had to make it an order!

 

These are just wonderful. I loved the injured Obi and the sick Qui ones, but it's so hard to choose my favorites.

I hope you have more for us.

 

?I ordered you not to die and leave me alone,? he said quietly. ?For I could not bear to lose you.?

*sniff* Oh man, that one was a tear jerker. More soon!!

 

[gnashes teeth in frustration] How, how, how did I miss this? Gah!

I felt the need for some gratifying mush, and your little viggie was very, very satisfying (I think I have LE to thank, too. I saw your words in her sig, and spent the better part of this morning hunting for a vig called 'Recovery'...and nearly went insane, not finding it. Might I also add that your words are eminently 'sig-worthy' )

Loved Obi's thoughts in convalescence, and Qui in interesting disarray. . Loved how you've written them.

[runs off to hunt out the 'sick Qui' vig...]

EDIT 1: Oh, yeah, have already read the sick Qui vig -loved the whole thing

EDIT 2: Took a grave chance, and read the 'insane Qui' vig. Oh my freakin'.....that was...oooh. But in a 'wow', kind of way. I'm still feeling awful...

 

that is sweet

 

Awwwwwwwwwwwww what lovely master/padawan mush! that was wonderful! Kimberely!

 

What lovely mush. I especially liked the last comments but there were hints all through this about how Qui-Gon felt. I liked how you had Obi-Wan so confused about what happened. Made it seem more immediate somehow.

Good job.

 

Just got caught up on these! Loved everyone and hope you have more coming soon.

 

mouse2 Thank you! And I hope to write more of them too. I enjoy it!


Arwen-Jade_Kenobi As soon as my muse speaks to me about Master Jinn and Padawan Kenobi I'll post more.

ithesock Are you feeling better now? Thank you! And I hope I'll be reading more stuff from you soon sockie!

PadawanKitara So is Obi-Wan. Oops, sorry, got distracted by leashed Obi.

Layren Aw shucks!

dianethx Well I remember waking up from surgery and you're not really sure what's going on, so I tried to bring that confusion here. I'm good at confusion. But maybe not writing it, just being in that state.

obi_ew Thank you! I'm honored that you liked them.

 

Ohh I love these little viggies!! You bring light nicely to father/son relationship and I just love it!

 

meg_an2006 Thank you so much! And welcome to the boards!

Title: Confession
Author: VaderLVR64
Characters: Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi

[b]Confession[/b]


That blaster bolt sounded no different than the others. I did not know that it would threaten to shatter my very core.

I did not realize its importance until I heard a low grunt from Obi-Wan and his agony flared across our bond. I turned just in time to watch him crumple to the ground ? seemingly lifeless.

Without thought, a cry welled up within me and echoed harshly above even the sounds of the fire that I was still unconsciously directing away from us.

My impatience to reach his side made my blade nothing more than a green blur which sent their bolts back at them. I could no longer concentrate solely on defense. Obi-Wan?s need had put me on the offensive and all of them had fallen within moments.

I rushed to his side but was almost fearful of touching him. Would my hand meet warm, living flesh or the cooling emptiness of death?

Then I shook away my fear and realized that I still sensed Obi-Wan in the Force. My Padawan was not gone ? not yet. He was in danger, but I still had a chance to save him. I bent over him and watched his glazed eyes struggle to focus on me.

Knowing how hard he had always worked to please me, how quickly he obeyed any order; I put all the authority of my position as his Master into my voice. I picked him up as gently as I could and then gave him the most important instruction I would ever give. My voice was durasteel; I would tolerate nothing less than complete obedience.

?You will not die and leave me alone again.?

**********************************************

Alderaan was the closest planet with anything approaching advanced medical facilities. I set our course and then attended to Obi-Wan?s wound once more.

As I pulled back his tunic I felt the blood drain from my face. A cursory examination of the wound and the crude first-aid I had administered at the scene had not revealed the severity of the injury. Blood had welled up and impeded my view. Using sterile pads, I staunched the flow as best I could and placed a large bacta patch over the hole in his belly. I administered a hypo of the strongest antibiotic we carried. I had done all I could do. Until the ship exited hyperspace I would remain at his side.

I nurtured an irrational fear that if I slept or even let my attention be diverted from Obi-Wan, that he would sense my betrayal and slip away from me forever.

All our years together I had guarded my heart so closely, never letting him inside. But now the truth was laid out before me and I was no longer able to deny it. This boy, this young man, meant as much to me as any son has ever meant to any father.

And my child was in danger.


**************************************************************************


?He will live?? The words had burst forth from me as my anxiety increased with each passing moment.

The healer finished her examination and I read Obi-Wan?s fate in the sad lines of her face. But then she gave me an understanding smile and spoke the five sweetest words I have ever heard in any language.

?He will live, Master Jinn.?

Obi-Wan must have heard her speak and sensed my fear. He opened his eyes and gave me a somewhat dopey grin. The drugs they had given him had obviously begun to take effect.

?Not rid of me that easily,? he said in a husky whisper.

I smiled at him, though my fear still seemed a living thing inside of me that consumed all of my Jedi serenity.

?Rest now, my Padawan.?

His eyes closed and he did not stir.

For a long time I just stood at his bedside. My discomfort seemed a necessary penance, a sacrifice to keep him safe. The healers came and told me to sleep, but I did not acknowledge their words. There was

 

Oooohhhh.........

I recover from your previous efforts, and you threaten to send me into mush-land again. [shakes fist] I love that!

>>>The bond between us grew stronger that day, so strong that it will not even be broken by death. One day, when I have become one with the Force, he will look back on that day and know that I loved him.>>

I ought to take lessons from you about last words for fics. That was so......right. Qui's emotions are perfect - and poor Obi-Wan, so very puzzled about all the attention showered on him.

>>And I hope I'll be reading more stuff from you soon sockie!>>>

Perhaps.

 

Ohhhh I sooooo loved his POV on that! Great job!

Awww: One day, when I have become one with the Force, he will look back on that day and know that I loved him. I sooooo loved that!

 

Seeing the same situation from both POVs was interesting and quite well done. They were different enough so that it didn't feel like reading the same vignette, so

Glad your muse visited you!

 

*sniffs*

Wonderful,VaderLVR! Recovery was excellent, as was Confession....I love Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon fic, but you make it...Wow....I officially declare myself your biggest fan.

 

The last paragraph especially was heartbreaking and incredible. I loved it.

 

Oh, I really liked the alternate POV - lovely companion piece. Especially loved the last paragraph. Great job.

 

Beautiful, VL. I don't read a lot of these Qui/Obi fics very often anymore, but anything of yours is worth a look. Heartwrenching is the only word. Great job.

 

Oh, I loved this soooooooo much! Thank you for writing it!

I especially liked when Qui-Gon first gave Obi-Wan that order, his thoughts that Obi always did his best to obey, and he wanted absolute obedience for this one. Just beautiful.

Also liked the "vicious cycle" of blushes and giggles. LOL! Poor Obi.

This was splendid.

 

All I could picture when I read this last one was Qui-Gon dying in Obi-Wan's arms!

Another beautiful viggie!

 

Awww...that was just lovely! With Qui admiting exactly how he felt. Obi/Qui mush of the highest quality! That really put a smile on my face. Thanks Kimberley!
