Category:- AU, angst, pre slash, action/adventure, drama
Ratings:- PG13
Spoilers:- what doesn't it spoil? :) It is assumed you've seen
all the movies and know what's happening to Luke et al, while
Obi-Wan & Yoda are busy doing other things. A number of SW
books are mentioned directly or vaguely.
Warnings:- very AU, only vaguely Q/O until the end, also
Obi-Wan's Padawan could almost be described as a Mary-Sue. In
that she is based on a little on me and believes that Qui-Gon
& Obi-Wan are soul mates, who never quite got together
before Qui-Gon was killed. So damned if she isn't going to do
something about it :)
AU note:- with 2 exceptions, imagine this Universe did happen
almost the same way as the movies and books up to "I, Jedi" by
Michael A. Strackpole. But Obi-Wan wasn't killed and Yoda is
also still alive, admittedly I'm picturing Yoda as about 100
years younger than he was in the movies. Secondly there was a
organized resistance of Jedi, run by Yoda and Obi-Wan to a
lesser extent. (Also run by Rostek Horn - a character from "I,
Jedi" who had been best friends with a Jedi and had adopted his
son when the Jedi had died in the clone wars. The Jedi's
grandson - Corran (Halcyon) Horn is one of the main characters
in the book & my story).
Short summary for m_a and other archives:- Obi-Wan has to live
with the knowledge that Qui-Gon was his soul mate and with his
death, Obi-Wan has to spend the rest of his life alone. And how
Obi-Wan tries to cope up to the point the Emperor decides
Obi-Wan and Yoda have to die before they can arrange the new
Jedi order starting in A New Hope.

"Looking out from this silent place
A ray of light to darkest space
A warm wind gently blowing across your face
So lift up your eyes
Slowly to the sky
And dream about a place were we could be
Cause I can see
You standing there with me
If you can wait until tomorrow
I'll meet you there"
A unseen Qui-Gon singing to Obi-Wan straight after TPM
Time - end of The Phantom Menace
Obi-Wan lashed out at Maul with the last of his strength,
hitting him in the waist and pushing Maul backwards into the
shoot. Only realizing that Maul was dead, he staggered over to
his Master.
Unable to think clearly, because of the strange sensations
shooting through their bond, all Obi-Wan could do was seek
physical contact. As their minds meet, he drops his shields to
comfit Qui-Gon.
As soon as their minds touched without any of the usual shields
they both knew two things. They had both always know they were
both half of a soul bond, who had yet to find the person
carrying the other half of their soul. But, neither of them saw
themselves as gay, so had always assumed they were both looking
for women......
As soon as they touched their minds started to join, to follow
into each other. But, Qui-Gon feeling himself dying tried to
push Obi-Wan away mentally. Not wanting to imagine the hell
Obi-Wan would be left in, knowing his soul mate was
dead, knowing there could be no one else ever again.
Qui-Gon died knowing he was too late, knowing that he was
leaving a empty silent place in Obi-Wan's soul until the day he
joined Qui-Gon again.
Time - sometime around Empire Strikes Back
Obi-Wan was heading towards his yearly meeting with Yoda on
Dagobah, taking a long winding route to hide himself from the
empire. He was on a small war ravaged world, searching. He
still had to get were a few supplies Yoda requested. And
something else..........
Soon after Obi-Wan had arrived in the ruins of the capital, he
felt someone using the force. As far as he could tell, there
wasn't much intelligence or skill behind this use. But he still
felt compelled to find it.
The emperor had ordered this world destroyed, after learning of
a small group of Jedi hiding out here. They had been running a
small training school, waiting for an opportunity to help
defeat the Sith.
Very few people moved around, eyeing each other with suspicion.
Most seemed to survive on the animals they caught and the
planets that had been left to take over. But, Obi-Wan ignored
them as he slowly moved towards the buildings that had once
housed the Jedi group. He couldn't fathom why Yoda had been
insistent that there was anything left for Obi-Wan to find.
Something that wasn't here 3 years ago and wouldn't be here in
a years time.
As he neared the main building sudden fluctuations in the force
almost threw him backwards. The sudden untrained use of the
force hit him before he could put his shields, as he got to his
feet his shields were protecting him from the random attacks.
As it became more obvious the person attacking him couldn't
hurt Obi-Wan, he felt the growing terror transmit itself along
the force currents.
//I wont hurt you// Obi-Wan sent, along with calmness.
There was the noise of something small scurrying through the
rubble sending, //Mine// towards Obi-Wan.
//I can help// He replied, trying to reassure the `creature'.
//Please?//
//Why help?//
Obi-Wan sudden decided to tell the truth //I'm a Jedi, I help
when ever I can.//
Sadness suddenly rushed towards him //No Jedi. All dead....//
//I'm not dead.//
//No Jedi//
//I can talk to you like this, can't I?//
There was a sense of the creature trying to move as far away
from Obi-Wan as it could. Fear still radiated from it's general
direction, fear because Obi-Wan was the first person it had
come across that could track it. Fear of change.
//Do you want to stay here?// Obi-Wan asked.
//Here home//
//You sound like Master Yoda// Obi-Wan suddenly sent before he
realized what he had thought.
//Yoda nice// came back with a very vague picture of the little
master.
The creature making the noise turned out to be a little girl,
one of the many children abounded during the Emperor's purging.
Once she had clamed down enough to have a decent conversation,
he managed to work out she was very force sensitive. And even
seemed to have had the beginnings of training given to the
children in the cr?che before the Clone Wars.
//My mummy and daddy were taught me how to hide myself// She
told Obi-Wan. //Before the men in white killed them.//
"You know they are dead?" Obi-Wan asked, he was talking out
load to try and encourage the girl to as well.
//Saw them// she replied, miserable.
"Don't worry, I'll look after you." Obi-Wan paused as he tried
to think of a good way to change the subject. "Would you like
something more to eat?"
//YES!//
"Know her, I do." Yoda said, as they watched the little girl
eat. "Mace Windu's daughter she is."
"Mace?" Obi-Wan asked. "When did he have any children?"
"Only one, did he have. Quiet the emperor had been, for over a
year...."
"So they thought they were safe enough, in hiding."
"Yes, and safe they had been. Found they were, soon after Amies
3rd birthday......."
"Qui-Gon - I have not spent a day without loving you; I have
not spent a night without embracing you; I have not mediated
once without cursing the force which separated me from the
moving spirit of my life. Whether I am at the head of my
armies, or helping to train the younger Jedi, you my beloved
stand alone in my heart, you occupy my mind, you fill my
thoughts." Written by Obi-Wan in his journal, during the clone
wars.
Time - Just before the Return of the Jedi
The Emperor stood in his work shop, fiddling with a piece of
machinery in front of him. Normally he wouldn't lower himself
and do manual work. But some things he couldn't trust anyone
else to do. Especially when the whole machine had come to him
in a vision sent by the dark force.
There were tanks of specially grown clones lining the wall
behind him. The Emperor had started designing them as soon as
he felt he had decoded the message sent to him almost 3 years
ago.
Finally, he felt the machine was finally finished. This
knowledge unsettled him a little, knowing he was supposed to
die within a year. But the vision had shown him the way to
destroy the man who would kill him, destroying the rebellion
along with him.
Slowly covering the machine with his hands, the Emperor poured
currents of the dark force into the workings of the machine.
Charging crystals, activating circuitry, while thinking of the
vague imagine sent to him, about the time and place the machine
needed to go.
Something shifted inside. Minute circuits started calculating
and generating a field around the machine. Checking the only
read out, he decided he had 5 hours left to get his clones
ready, before the machine left.
Time - 4 hours later
Three male clones stood next to the machine, trapped by the
expanding field around it. They were dressed in pale Jedi
robes, lightsabers the only weapons visible. The Emperor had
equipped them with a few small weapons invented within the last
10 years, which were now hidden in their robes.
Keeping a close eye on the small group, the Emperor slowly
worked his way around the room. He stops at each container
holding a unused clone and turns off the life support. He waits
for the clone to die, before moving to the next one.
By the time all of the clones had been properly disposed of, it
was impossible to see past the energy field surrounding the 3
clones and machine. The light became blinding and with a blast
of energy numbing the Emperor, disappeared. Once he started to
feel the force again, he could feel ripples spread out from
that room.
"This is going to take a while," he thought, as he felt the
gradual changes in the force start.
