The opposite fantasy of "he needs me."

"He doesn't need me."

He doesn't need me to function. He doesn't need me to be happy. He doesn't need me to be strong, to be steady, to go on, to manage his life or solve his problems...

I can just be and he can just be and we're together not out of need, but out of choice.

Because being together is an additionnal happiness, not a vital requirement I will be responsible for (in addition to all the things I am already responsible for).

People seem to think that a lot of Anakin's (and Obi-Wan's) problems would be solved by Anakin having a different Jedi Master, but tbh I think most of these problems could've been solved by putting Anakin in the creche for a year or two before having Obi-Wan take him on as a Padawan. It's extremely common for Jedi to "claim" Padawans and vice versa while they are still initiates, so they can both know they will be partnered together when it is time.

This gives Obi-Wan time to be a Knight on his own and it gives him time to grieve. Might be good for him to spend some time not being part of a duo. Maybe even go to therapy that I'm not sure he had time for otherwise. This gives Obi-Wan time to prepare too. We can all acknowledge Obi-Wan enjoys teaching though he doesn't feel like he was a good enough one for Anakin. So this gives him time to prepare for being a teacher, seek out advice before he is saddled with a child 24/7 as opposed to during Anakin's occasional study hall or Benduday free time.

It also gives Anakin time to not only catch up to his age mates in school and Jedi stuff but to spend time among his peers and potentially make actual friends. It's something he seemed to struggle with in canon and not being promoted immediately to Padawan but spending time as an initiate likely would've done wonders for him socially. I think having that time for them to grow and then to have Obi-Wan still decide to choose Anakin after that time would do wonders for his insecurities.

Aside from the benefits of being more immersed in the communal aspects of the culture, I think waiting for him to become a Padawan may also make it easier to hold off Palpatine, depending on which canon you consider for when he starts to groom him. Easier to justify keeping him away when Anakin is just an initiate, not a full on apprentice yet.

Idk if you asked me what my ideal fix it would be for Anakin, this would probably be my starting point.

obi-wan: cody, you do remember when we agreed we were better off as friends, right?

cody, naked in obi-wan's bed: no, i absolutely do not.

obi-wan, already taking off his clothes: ah... me neither.

Obi Wan still looks HOT AS FUCK even when his life was destroyed! Dude looks so rugged and yeah he’s banned from most planets and he only gets sleep when he’s literally knocked unconscious but hey! At least he looks hot as fuck and forgives himself!

Anakin: You know, I'm not great with kids.

Obi-wan: You're not great with adults either.

Another installment of time-travel au.

It's cool to tell Obi-Wan that you are older and more experienced that him, it's not cool when he is ready to commit to the bit and call you old man.
