This is going to hurt, anon. But you asked for it soā¦ enjoy :P
Obi-Wan turned his back on the open door. He climbed out of thehomestead and trudged away. The sand sucked at his boots. He felt the wind pick up in thesudden way heād become accustomed to on Tatooine. Sand pelted his cheeks. This was his lifenow. To protect a baby who didnāt know him, might never know him. To have noone by his side, ever again. To be Master to none, to have his life linked tono one.T o coexist with memories that he could not live with. To have thememory of Anakin be like living fire in his gut. To get up every day, to stand,to watch, to live, when so many had died. And keep on walking. [Jude Watsonās TheLast One Standing]
Obi-Wan indulged in his own swift smile. Yes. Theywere indeed working in sync. And he realized then how much heād missed this.Had missed Anakin and the way they could read each other without the need forclumsy words. They were a better team than even he and Qui-Gon had been. Andwhile he understood completely the need for them to unravel theirpartnershipānot only because of the war, but also because Anakin was a JediKnight now, with his own responsibilities, stillĀ ā¦Ā he felt sharpregret. Working without Anakin was likeworking half blind. [Karen Miller.Star Wars: Clone Wars Gambit: Stealth]
[Anakin] hadworried that Obi-Wan did not have room for him in his heart.But Shmiās smile rose in Anakinās mind. Hearts have infinite room, my son. Itwas one of her favorite sayings. Anakin sighed. He wished he could combineObi-Wanās cool judgement with his motherās goodness. Someday. Maybe his Masterwould trust him enough to let him tangle again with the Sith. Perhaps he wouldnever have a Master-Padawan relationship as deep and trusting as Obi-Wan hadwith Qui-Gon. Perhaps Obi- Wan kept his as a Padawan in order to fulfill adying wish. But maybe it didnāt matter how it happened. He should not focus onwhat he didnāt have. He had this. This was his. And that was something. Hewould work hard. He would be a greatPadawan. And Obi-Wan would come to love him. He would make him do so. [JudeWatson. The Trail of the Jedi ]
Anakin had always hated sand. It was one of the manythings about his Padawan that Obi-Wan understood better now that Anakin wasdead. That was the horror of losingsomeone: understanding came too late. [Jude Watsonās The Last One Standing]
Blade-to-blade, they were identical. After thousandsof hours in lightsaber sparring, they knew each other better than brothers,more intimately than lovers; they were complementary halves of a singlewarrior. This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark orgood against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion ormorals. It was Anakin against Obi-Wan.Personally. Just the two of them, and the damage they had done to each other. [MatthewStoverās Revenge of the Sith]
Ā The suns had determined this at the dawn of creation.Brothers, they were, until the younger sun showed his true face to the tribe.It was a sin. The elder sun attempted to kill his brother, as was only proper.But he failed. Burning, bleeding, the younger sun pursued his sibling acrossthe sky. The wily old star fled for the hills and safety, but it was his fatenever to rest again. For the younger brother had only exposed his face. Theelder had exposed his failure. And others had seen itāto their everlastingsorrow. [John Jackson Miller. Kenobi: Star Wars]
Anakin was still alive in Obi-Wanās mind. Obi-Wan wasengaged with him so intensely that he expected his apprentice to walk over oneof those shifting sand dunes and grin at him again. Or scowl. Heād takeanything. Any mood, any defiance. Just to see him again. [Jude Watsonās TheLast One Standing]
āA healthy slave is a slave who dreams of escape,āKrayn said. āThat is what security is for,ā Nor Fik said. āI amnot suggesting that you pamper them. Feed them enough to keep going. When yourship is struggling, you must conserve your fuel, but reach yourdestination.ā Obi-Wan felt revulsion rise deep within him. Krayn and NorFik were talking about living beings as if they were machines to be maintained.Youāre the one who doesnāt understand!Anakinās tortured words filled his brain. His Padawan had been right. He hadnātunderstood. He couldnāt understand the depths of Anakinās feeling. As a child,Anakin had lived every day with the knowledge that his life meant nothing. Thathe was a possession, not a living being. Obi-Wanstruggled to maintain his calm. His heart cried out to move, to get on a shipand go to Nar Shaddaa. [Star Wars Jedi Quest Path to Truth by Jude Watson]
Obi-Wan nodded.There was something about this boy that wound around his heart.During the course of their missions together he had seen firsthand Anakināsimpulsive generosity, his loyalty, his thirst to learn. Remember, Padawan, thatmost beings are essentially unknowable. There are mysteries at the heart thatcan surprise even those who think they know themselves. Obi-Wan turned away sothat Anakin could not see his wry smile. Qui- Gon was in his head so often. Itwas as though his presence was so powerful that he could never die. Obi-Wan wasgrateful for it. He missed his friend and Master with a keenness that had notdiminished with the years. [Star Wars Jedi Quest Path to Truth by Jude Watson]
Ā There were tears on Anakinās cheeks, he could feelthem. He wasnāt ashamed. He wasnāt goingto apologize to anyone, not even Yoda, for caring enough about Obi-Wan to weepfor him. [Karen Miller. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Wild Space ]
Anakin came awake and blinked owlishly in the warmcabin lights. āYou were dreaming,ā Obi-Wan said.āNot me. The ship,ā Anakin said. āOr maybe we weredreaming together. We were traveling around the galaxy, seeing wonderfulthings. It was so great to just be free. You were there with us. I think youwere having fun, too.ā Anakin held outhis hand, fingers spread, and Obi-Wan met it with his own hand. [Greg BearāsRogue Planet~]
Ā What else had he done there?Obi-Wan didnāt know. He knew only from that day on, a shadow began to engulfAnakin, something Obi-Wan couldnāt penetrate. He had tried to talk to Anakin aboutit, but his Padawan had brushed off his questions. He realized now that Anakinhad begun to confide in PadmĆ© instead. They had married in secret, and the marriagehad been part of the reason Obi-Wan had felt a divide between him and hisPadawan. If Anakin had told him of the marriage, he would have understood. Notapproved, but understood. He had been tempted once, too. He had loved, too. Ifonly Anakin had confided in him. If only ā¦ And why hadnāt he? Because Obi-Wanhad failed him. If heād been a better Master, if heād had more of Qui-Gonāskindness and wisdom ā¦ Anakin might have approached him, have felt free to saywhatever he was thinking or feeling ā¦If ā¦They had flown together, wingtipto wingtip. They had relied on each other. He was more daring when Anakin waswith him. Anakin had taught him how totake risks. But in the end he had lost everything. [Jude Watsonās The LastOne Standing]
Ā Obi-Wan reached out and closed Anakinās fingers overthe stone. āI hope it will be with you always to remind you of Qui-Gon andme, of our deep regard for you.ā Anakinās smile lit his face. āIālltreasure it. Thank you, Master.ā [Jude Watson. The Way of the Apprentice]
Ā Soon they would be ending their journey together. Theyboth knew it. He had never had to bid good-bye to Qui-Gon as a Master. He wasstill Qui-Gonās Padawan when he died. Maybe that was the reason he felt soclose to him still. He did not know if Qui-Gon would have left him with wordsof wisdom, with a direction to follow. Now he had no way of knowing what elsehe could give Anakin. He had given him everything he could. It wasnāt enough.Sadness filled Obi-Wan as they blasted into the upper atmosphere. He loved Anakin Skywalker, but he did nottruly know him. The most important things he had to teach he had nottaught. He would have to let him go, knowing that. He would have to let him go.[Jude Watson. Legacy of the Jedi]
Sometimes he [Obi-Wan] talked to him in his head.Arguments more furious than the ones theyād had. Talks in which he explained,Master to Padawan, why heād done what heād done. Simple words that managed tosay everything heād meant to say, only more clearly than heād ever been able tosay it. In these talks, Anakin listened and understood. Of course, he wastalking to a ghost. Anakin Skywalker was dead. [Jude Watsonās The Last OneStanding]
Ā āFor Anakin,āObi-Wan said at length, āthere is nothing more important than friendship. He isthe most loyal man I have ever metāloyal beyond reason, in fact.Despite all I have tried to teach him about the sacrifices that are the heartof being a Jedi, heāhe will never, I think, truly understand.ā He looked overat Yoda. āMaster Yoda, you and I have been close since I was a boy. An infant.Yet if ending this war one week soonerāone day soonerāwere to require that Isacrifice your life, you know I would.ā āAs you should,ā Yoda said. āAs I wouldyours, young Obi-Wan. As any Jedi would any other, in the cause of peace.ā āAnyJedi,ā Obi-Wan said, āexcept Anakin.ā Yoda and Mace exchanged glances, boththoughtfully grim. Obi-Wan guessed they were remembering the times Anakin hadviolated ordersāthe times he had put at risk entire operations, the lives ofthousands, the control of whole planetary systemsāto save a friend. More thanonce, in fact, to save Obi-Wan. āI think,ā Obi-Wan said carefully, āthatabstractions like peace donāt mean much to him. Heās loyal to people, not toprinciples. And he expects loyalty in return. He will stop at nothing to saveme, for example, because he thinks I would do the same for him.ā Mace and Yoda gazedat him steadily, and Obi-Wan had to lower his head. āBecause,ā he admitted reluctantly, āhe knows I would do the same forhim.ā [Matthew Stoverās Revenge of the Sith]
