just finished the tv show so can we talk about a slow horses obikin au set in the gffa?? the jedi order doesn't kick anyone out of its ranks obviously, but if you fuck up enough missions (i.e., you go undercover and accidentally blow your cover and blow up half a planet; you are assigned protection detail and get distracted in a tourist trap and the senator you're supposed to be protecting dies; you cause a few very serious diplomatic incidents, etc etc) then you're asked politely to pack your things and report to the smaller subsection of the Jedi Order that exists in the outer rim on Yavin IV. sort of known amongst all the other Jedi that this where the failed Jedi knights go, the ones who made it through their padawanship and into Knighthood only to royally fuck up sometime later. you're still technically a Knight, but like. You're a Yavin Knight. rip.

so in an au where anakin is trained by someone else, he gets sent over to yavin iv after the events of aotc (he fucks the person he's assigned to protect, abandons the planet to go to tatooine, brings his mission to a firefight on geonosis, etc) where he meets the head of the yavin branch, obi-wan kenobi

or re-meets? because he has vague memories of obi-wan kenobi back when he first arrived at the temple. he was qui-gon's other padawan, the one that was knighted so master jinn could train anakin instead.

and he's pretty sure obi-wan, who acts all sage and aloof and impartial, still carries a grudge about it because all the missions anakin has been given are shit and obi-wan has taken to ending their debriefs with some pointed comment or another like 'do try not to slip and fall into this one's bed, knight skywalker. only as mr. silvaero is a Huttese arms dealer, he may prove to be less accommodating than a galactic senator' etc etc

after a few months of this uncalled for treatment and frank abuse of power (in anakin's words), he confronts kenobi--master kenobi--about it, and after receiving a dressing down that includes several slights against his character (because obi-wan is a petty bastard who never thought he'd have to see anakin skywalker again after naboo), they accidentally end up fucking about it

(sweaty and smoking a deathstick afterwards, lounging behind his desk still naked, obi-wan is like 'well i can see now why that's your speciality' and anakin doesn't know if he wants to kill him or kiss him more)
