We Want That one

This is a Satine/Cody/Obi Wan of a flavor that I have not seen before and hope to see more of. It takes a bit there but I think it will be worth the wait.

At the end of the mission to Mandalore, Obi Wan decides to stay with Satine and leave the Jedi Order. Now it is important to note this is done with Qui Gon’s full and loving support. In this one Qui Gon is not a raging asshole with many issues and trauma (Melida/Daan happened and after it did both Qui Gon and Obi Wan were required to go to therapy-both separately and together- before they were allowed to go on mission together again). Also it is important to note that in this one ‘Will of the Force’ is not an excuse Qui gon uses to do whatever the hell he wants. The Force does actually have OPINIONS that it will share with specific Jedi (There is no tie to power, abilities, position, or previous messages for who will get a specific message. There is a tie, though not complete because the Force has other measures that mortals cannot comprehend, between who is making the decision the Force has an opinion on and which Jedi gets the message). The Force did let both Obi Wans and Qui Gon know that it fully supported Obi Wan leaving the Jedi to be with Satine.

So Obi Wan returns to the temple to formally leave the Order, get comm codes for people he wants to stay in touch with, and his remaining things from his room. He is allowed to keep his lightsaber and encouraged to keep his login to the Temple Archives so he could keep learning. Six months after he returns to Mandalore, he and Satine marry with his Jedi friends and family in attendance. A year after that their son Korkie is born. He and Satine take up the mantle of Duke and Duchess and balance each other well. Though Satine remains a pacifist, she does not begrudge her husband not being one and the addition of Obi Wan lessens the power of some of her more odious advisers. At some point within the first few years Death Watch attacks and through a series of strange and unfortunate (for Death Watch) both Satine and Obi Wan simultaneously defeat Pre Vizsla and win the Darksaber. They both take on the title of Mandalore jointly and unite the clans. The stabilization of Mandalore goes largely unnoticed by the republic (Including Sidiuous and Plagieus, they both just kind of assumed that everything was going as planned)

Now we come to the Naboo mission, a few years down the line. There is little change to the start, save for the places where we are missing Obi Wan. Qui Gon still ends up, with Padme, on Tatooine and helps free Anakin. The High Council is still leery of Anakin and accepting him. Qui Gon is still adamant that this child must be trained. Padme is still tricked into calling for a vote of no confidence. There does come a change when Qui Gon meets up with Padme again as they conspire to return to Naboo. Qui Gon gets an idea and puts in a call to someone he is sure Padme should talk to immediately. When the call connects, greet the pair on the other end as Duke and Duchess Mand’alor. The man, Obi Wan, sighs deeply and turns to Padme, and in the driest tone she had ever heard goes, ‘I apologize for Qui Gon. He thinks he’s funny and no one has ever been able to disabuse him of that notion. We can be either called Mand’alor, or duke/duchess, you do not need to call us both’.

Qui Gon explains what is going on with Naboo and Satine immediately goes to Padme, ‘Oh, you poor thing, we will get you some humanitarian aid immediately, right dear?’ to which Obi Wan agrees.

Something about the way Qui Gon is now looking amused and mischievous and the way that Satine had said that left Padme, for all that she was a bit on the naive side when it came to galaxy politics (As evidenced by the fact that she did not realize slavery did exist until she faced it directly and that she did really believe that doing what was right drove the Galactic senate), with the belief that there was something more going.

They leave Coruscant and are met, just before reaching Naboo’s system, by a ship full of Mandalorians led by Obi Wan. He apologizes that Satine could not be there as well, but they tried not to be off planet at the same time, just in case, and Obi Wan was better for this.

Also as soon as Obi Wan saw Anakin, he felt the immediate and nearly irresistible urge to adopt him (Both the Manda AND the Force had opinions here), only the knowledge that he did not know whose child it was and the fact that Satine would kill him for adopting without her stopped him. Obi Wan did take a moment to ask Qui Gon why there was a small child going into a warzone.

Eventually they got down to business. Obi Wan explained that, since Mandalore was not part of the Republic, they could not send an army to help with the Trade Federation’s illegal block (particularly since, officially, no one knew about it). However, if their old friend Qui Gon (Qui Gon good naturedly protested the ‘Old’. In the same dry tone as earlier, Obi Wan said that they all knew that Qui Gon had been there at the start of the Republic (i.e 25,000 years old), there was no need to lie. Then Obi Wan winked at Anakin, making the boy giggle) happened to mention that Naboo was experiencing a crisis and Mandalore chose to send humanitarian aid, well that was not declaring war on a Republic entity. Of course they would also have to send a security force with their aid workers (Never mind that each aid worker is also a commando) there might be pirates or other dangers along the way.

Blockaded though Naboo may be, the blockade was not meant to hold up to a platoon of Mandalorians (sorry a group of Mandalorian aid workers with their security escort). They get to the surface, though liberation would take more firepower than they had immediate access to (particularly since they people were dying, thus a time crunch) so Padme negotiates with the Gungans to take back their planet. By the way, as soon as the Mandalorians and the Gungan warrior meet they get along like a house on fire (to the concern of more than a few politicians later). Our core group heads to the Theed palace to end things, while the Mandalorians and the Gungan begin the liberation of the camps (Made easier by the fact that the Naboo had not just been waiting to be rescued, many had been working from within the camps to make things as difficult for their occupiers as possible. At least two of the camps, upon hearing that liberation was incoming, promptly rushed their guards and were in the process of tearing the droids apart when the Gungan/Mando liberation team arrived. It may or may not have done more for Gungan/Naboo relations than anything Padme did).

Obi Wan does go with Qui Gon to battle the Sith. He goes armored, made specifically so that he can fight like a Jedi in it. He also goes armed with the Darksaber and a slugthrower (Obi Wan did indeed bring a gun to a lightsaber fight). While there is a little fighting, long before they reach the power reactor, Obi Wan drops back far enough that he is able to shoot Maul in the knee and they capture the Sith. Anakin does end up taking out the shield generator (though the ship he ‘accidentally’ acquired was from the Mandalorian ship- where he had been told to stay for the battle; most of the mandos were a little alarmed at the 9 year old in the space battle but making heart eyes at the fact that the was able to hotwire one of their ships to do it).

After the battle Obi Wan calls his wife and introduces her to Anakin, Satine promptly asks ‘when are you bringing our new son home so we can say the adoption vow?’.

The High council arrive, more willing to admit Anakin (though still reluctant) to find that it is a moot point because Anakin, with Qui Gon blessing (as the Force only said that Anakin needed to be Jedi trained, Obi Wan can do that) was going to be adopted by Obi wan and Satine. Everyone is in agreement that this is actually the best solution (I want it clear that this is not a slight against the Jedi Order, their rules and restrictions are there for a reason and they would have taken Anakin in, but they could all sense that he was ambivalent about it). Everyone parts ways, with a light reminder to Obi Wan Jocasta Nu is waiting semi impatiently to read his most recent paper comparing Jedi historical Force traditions and Mandalorian historical Manda sects (The Manda and the Force both are and are not the same thing).

As soon as Anakin is adopted, Mandalore has an excuse to go after the Hutts (Frankly some of the more aggressive Mandos were getting restless). Due to the way Mandalorian adoption works, adopting a child effectively adds all of childs relatives (that the kid wants to claim) as the adopters relative as well (essentially adopting Anakin makes Shmi family). Family trees get very complicated on Mandalore very quickly (also all new ways to define relationships).

There are some changes we should acknowledge before going any further. Obviously Anakin growing up as the oldest son of the leaders of Mandalore has some difference (Korkie-Then aged 5- was ecstatic, he had specifically been asking for an older brother for two years), for all that Obi Wan is also training him in the ways of the force and the Manda. Also Shimi is living with them now.

There are some political ramifications that come from what could, in the loosest sense, be the Mandalorian invasion of Naboo (as some politicians privately call it) and the fact that the Gungan cities become a prime vacation spot for Mandalorian warriors. It never really goes anywhere, since doing so would mean acknowledging that the Trade Federation also invaded Naboo.

Padme wanted Naboo to cut ties with the Republic, she was fairly disgusted with the interaction with the senate which was highlighted by how differently the interaction with Mandalor went. This was never going to be allowed to happen (Palpatine’s status as Chancellor depends on Naboo being part of the Republic). This combined with Palpatine's (and other politicians) reactions to the Mandalorians that saved her planet, the continuing mistreatment of the Gungans by some (but much less) Naboo humans, and an unfortunate accident that left Padme as one of the sole survivors of her family mean that Padme does not become a senator. Instead when her term is up she, many of her handmaidens, and the other survivors of her family all move to Mandalore where they maintain a close relationship with the ruling family.

Padme and Anakin start dating when Anakin is 20. Their relationship is very much different than it was in Canon. For one, they had been friends for years before getting together. They were also not each other’s firsts (both having had romantic/sexual relationships with others prior to getting together). They are also not trying to squeeze too much into too little time as they try to hide from their friends and family, or justify to themselves their quick marriage. Frankly the lack of a war or a secret massacre putting strain on their relationship also helped.

Satine, Obi Wan, and Shmi never put any restrictions on how long they should be together before getting married, nor could they but it is important that they did not even try. They did highly recommend that, before any action that could be legally binding or have long lasting consequences (like kids) that the pair take at least one trip to the outer rim in a two person ship (the equivalent of taking a road trip together).

Anakin and Padme get married when Anakin is 22.

The Clone Wars break out a year later, in much the same way as Canon though obviously with different people in place of Obi Wan, Anakin, and Padme (Everything about the Clone Wars and the Clones is pushed back by four years. The setback is mostly because Maul was captured instead of bisected. Palpatine needed to be more careful for the first few years to make sure his cover was not blown). Though Count Dooku is the leader of the Separatists, he is never revealed to be a Sith.

Mandalore remains largely neutral, though they register an official complaint (that absolutely everyone involved knew would go nowhere) that Jango Fett’s, a Mandalorian, progeny were being effectively enslaved in the GAR. The Republic is able to produce paperwork signed by the late Jango Fett where Fett relinquishes any claim to any clones created using his DNA with the exception of a single unaltered clone (Boba), thus denying the clones automatic Mandalorian citizenship. Privately Obi Wan contacts the Jedi and tells them that any GAR Clone that wishes to not be fighting for the republic will be welcome on Mandalore, where they can get assistance setting up and where being armored (and thus hiding the most recognizable face in the galaxy) would be perfectly acceptable. The Jedi do find a way to start funneling clones that want to desert toward Mandalore. Oddly enough it actually decreases the amount of clones that want to leave, there was something about just having the option that made the clones feel like they could stay to protect people, instead of being effectively enslaved to the Republic (and it is indisputably true that innocents are being harmed by the CIS).

Mandalore does send ‘humanitarian aid’ and their security escorts to any planet that wishes for help. Ryloth annexes itself to Mandalore after the fifth time the Mandalorains were instrumental in repelling yet another CIS invasion before the GAR could arrive (The Twilek of Ryloth do not begrudge the actual soldiers of the GAR. They do understand that it is a big galaxy, they can only protect so many places at once, and the various battalions do not actually get to choose where they are being sent. However they do blame the Politicians of the Republic for the war going on).

Somewhere in the first year of the war a group of Mandalorians find Boba Fett. This group, who had long been close to Obi Wan (and had in fact been part of the group going to Naboo), clock the 10 year old with Jango Fett’s face putting himself in dangerous situations and forcibly bring him to Mandalore, where Korkie goes ‘Free little brother. For Me! Don’t mind if I do!’ and adopts Boba into the family (for the rest of his life Boba will maintain that there is some form of Captive Syndrome happening, but eventually Boba accepts it).

During the second year of the War several representatives from the Republic are sent to Mandalore, in theory to encourage Mandalore to join with the Republic for the war but several are also secretly on Palpatine’s payroll and looking to destabilize Mandalore or at least their ability to send people to protect other planets (which is making it difficult to extend the war). They are escorted by Qui Gon Jinn’s battalion (an amalgamation of the 212th and the 501st), accompanied by Qui Gon’s new Padawan Ahsoka.

The representatives were given the biggest run around that was politically feasible (Which is a lot, every member of the ruling family, their closest advisers, and the escorts are all little shits who knows how to pull off ‘we’ll piss you off and you can’t do anything about it’) led by Boba, who still does not like Jedi very much; even he understands what happened was a battle and not an attack so does not want to be around Qui Gon. Qui Gon and his troopers are greeted like family.

Satine and Obi Wan, as soon as they catch sight of Commander Cody, go ‘Ooooh Pretty’ (Satine had developed a limited Force Sensitivity after carrying Korkie, enough that she could perceive Force presences and both thought Cody’s force presence was the most beautiful they had ever seen). Qui Gon, who had to suffer from a year on the run with Smitten Padawan Obi Wan and smitten Protectee Satine, immediately recognizes the looks in both their eyes and decides he is too old for this shit. He ignores all of it to go play flirt with Shmi (neither he nor Shmi are actually interested in each other and they know it. Qui Gon has not been attracted to anyone other than Tahl and in this one Shmi is very much a Lesbian. They both enjoy flirting and are glad they have someone they can do it with without giving the wrong idea).

I am torn between if I want Padme and Anakin to immediately do the same thing to Rex (‘oooh pretty’), or if I want Anakin to look at Padawan Ahsoka and go ‘oh she’s little sister shaped’ and immediately try to adopt her (Between Anakin and Korkie rampant big brother instincts, the logical consequences of Satine and Obi Wan having a healthy sex life, and the Mandalorian adoption gene- Satine comes by it honestly, no is sure how Obi Wan managed to inherit it- the ruling family of Mandalore has something like 15 children; Anakin is still the oldest).

The negotiations start and the Duke and Duchess of Mandalore absolutely insist that Commander Cody be there through every step of it. It is in part because they are being little shits toward the representatives(all of whom had been vocal in the belief that the clones were not sentient) and making them flinch whenever one or the other goes ‘And what do you think, Cody, dear?’ It is also so the Duke and Duchess can flirt, heavily and obviously, with Cody the entire time he is there.

Cody is a bit baffled, since he is not usually the person drawing attention (both for dehumanizing reasons and Cody is oblivious reasons), but does enjoy the flirting. He also returns the interest in Obi Wan and Satine. Three of the eight representatives began to ask his opinion on their own somewhere around day three.

At the two week mark, working in tandem, Obi Wan and Satine spring the trap that they had been weaving since the beginning (Cody had been warned what they were doing, and they made sure he was in agreement-which he would have been even if he had not been attracted to the other two, just for the benefits to his brothers). For two weeks they manipulated the representative, and in turn the senate, to get those representatives an unprecedented amount of power in treaty making (Since part of the treaty process, particularly with something like a senate involved, is ratifying the treaty in which the negotiators take it back to the people in charge to agree, there is a vote and all that). Basically anything these representatives agree to is binding, law within the republic, no restrictions on what they can agree to. No one in the senate realized that these eight now had that power, that they had given them that power. Now Obi Wan and Satine led the representative around by the nose until they were agreeing to all sorts of things. Things like the clones of Jango Fett, and clones in general, would be recognized by the sentience of their species (with which comes all kinds of rights and responsibilities on the part of the senate to clones). They also convince the representatives to seal the new treaty with Commander Cody's hand in marriage (incidentally making all of the Fett Clones Mandalorian citizens). It should be noted that the reason these representatives agreed to that was that they, personally, would receive the bulk of the bride price for Cody (the final price was actually higher than the republic bought him for in the first place, Cody was very proud).

In addition Mandalore does not quite join the republic, the agreement is to take control of the GAR to fight for the republic. It is worded in such a way that the Jedi are given a choice (thus they can send the children home), a number stay with their battalions but some are also able to be called back from the field. The GAR naval officers, the natborns, were to be replaced by Mandalorian officers. The few officers that wished to would need to sign up with the Mandalorians (there were a few that wanted to continue serving with the Clones). One of the concessions from the Duke and Duchess was that, though back pay would be handled by the senate, pay for the GAR going forward would come from Mandalore(the reason that the representatives agreed to let Mandalore take over the GAR, they felt quite proud of themselves). Without knowing it this also derails the Orders on the chips, since Palpatine is no longer in the chain of command, no matter what title he does or does not take.

Three months after the Chancellor’s office stopped being in the loop for the war, the CIS and the Republic sue for peace. Sitting across from each other on a neutral world but publicly broadcasted throughout the galaxy are Count Dooku and Chancellor Palpatine with Mand’alor Obi Wan Kenobi there to mediate. Dooku and Palpatine have too much on each other to reveal that the other is a secret Sith (not without the assurance of victory, which they do not have). They are forced to play this as if they are both well meaning leaders trying to do what is best for their people, as neither has an army backing them any more (The GAR is now Mandalorian and they have destroyed the droid army). Obi Wan wants to get home to his spouses (Satine was pregnant again, while they would love any and all children equally, Obi Wan was hoping that the little one would be born with Cody’s features).

I cannot emphasize enough that Obi Wan does not know he is sitting with two Sith who, if they thought they could get away with it, would kill him and subjugate the galaxy. He honestly does think that the other two are doing their best (He knows as a leader himself that sometimes a leader will make unpopular or not understandable choices for the betterment of their people-because they had bad information or because of their own prejudices).

Two Sith are forced to negotiate a peace they do not want because not negotiating (or stalling) would be so obvious as to give them away and if they are exposed now the entire plan is for nothing.

They are not down and out yet, but it is not far off. Their plans are derailed, and the person who did it never even noticed.

And I think that is the ending both of them truly deserve.

Ok some thoughts about senator Maul AU because I keep thinking about it

Palpatine never finds an apprentice in this AU, so he ends up not being such a huge threat

The events of Phantom Menace only kinda happened - Naboo was attacked by the Trade Federation, but there was no Sith to pursue them and kill Qui-Gon, so things got resolved much more easily

Qui-Gon lives, so he gets to train Anakin, and Dooku doesn't get tempted by the dark side

I think Dooku still quits the Jedi Order, but this time it's because he feels like he could do more good as a politician than as a jedi. He keeps a good relationship with the Jedi Order and the Republic and doesn't become a separatist

Every time he's in Coruscant he visits Qui-Gon and Anakin (and Obi-Wan) and chats with them over a nice lunch, which is good because it gives Anakin a politician role model that isn't Palpatine, and a better perspective of his options - he can leave the Order if he finds a new purpose, it's not a betrayal or a failure

Maul was raised in Dathomir so he's not a sith murder machine, but since he's such a powerful Force-senstitive he was raised closer to his mother and the Nightsisters than to his brothers and the Nightbrothers

(Savage and Feral are alive and happy btw. They visit Maul in Coruscant sometimes. I think he might also have one or two sisters because why not)

He still doesn't like Jedi but it's like. He doesn't want to kill them, he just thinks they're way too limiting and self-righteous. Like how Obi-Wan doesn't like politicians

He rarely makes speeches on the senate, so hearing him speak is a rare treat

Picture holonet social media hornyposting under every clip of him speaking because he has a very sexy voice

His outfits are also pretty daring (read: sexy) compared to most (male) senators. The entire Dathomir delegation dresses pretty similarly, but he gets the most attention

Maul vs Padmé who wore it better type posts

He and Padmé have this weird kinda-rivalry because they're very opposite in a lot of ways, but they still vote on the same side in a lot of topics since they both have a very "I am doing this for my people" mentality

He also absolutely hates Palpatine because he gets extremely rotten vibes from him (he's more attuned to the dark side than the Jedi so he probably Feels Palpatine's dark side vibes better than the Jedi. He Feels Palpatine is Bad)

When/if the Jedi Order ever finds out Palpatine is a sith he will be very unsurprised

Ventress is a representative and Maul's "apprentice", learning the Senate life from him

I'm making her younger than her "canon" age here (by about 10ish years) because it makes more sense to me and because giving Maul a government-assigned baby sister is funny

From what we see in the movies each world seems to only have one senator but I want the Dathomir delegation to have at least two because I think it's more fitting (and realistic, every world needs more than one senator what the fuck)

I think it would be funny if Maul swears he's gonna quit soon and Ventress will take his place in the senate but then the other senator retires first and makes Ventress her successor so Maul has to stay a senator for longer. He just wants to get out of this fucking planet

On the Jedi side of this AU I think Anakin grows into a much more disciplined jedi because Qui-Gon the rules bender would definitely stay in contact with Shmi so Anakin's anxieties regarding his mom will be more controlled, and they would be contacted immediately when she gets kidnapped by the tuskens so they save her faster and she doesn't die and neither do the tuskens and everything is fine

Plus Anakin gets to know his new family better and have a brother and add a new dad to his collection <3

Maybe Obi-Wan gets Ahsoka as a padawan this time, so she can have a master who actually wants to teach, and also be kinda-siblings with Anakin and cause chaos with him while Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan aren't looking

The Separatists never really take off, so the clone wars never happen, but I think the attacks on senators that were happening at the start of AotC still happen because I think it's fun to have drama and have Jedi escorts assigned to senators (read: good excuse to set up an obimaul and allow the anidala plot to happen)

I want Maul to be miserable wet cats with Obi-Wan on Kamino so I am allowing the clones to exist. Purely for comedic plot opportunity. And because I love clones so I want them to exist

But I think this time they only made a single batch of like 10-100 clones and were waiting for the Jedi to get back to them with approval to make more

Maul sees this and goes "Absolutely the fuck NOT" so no more clones are made after those. Sad!

With Maul there to help the Jango fight is much more successful (and 50% less humiliating on Obi-Wan's side) so they capture him and no one has to die

Sidious had to hire Jango this time since I am not letting him have an apprentice, so Jango is like "I was hired by some old weirdo in a cloak who called himself Darth Sidious who sounded and looked a lot like the chancellor from Naboo" and Maul feels so fucking vindicated that YES the bad vibes he gets from Palpatine were correct can we PLEASE kill him now

Jango gets arrested and maybe he makes a deal to work under the Jedi instead of staying in jail so he can take care of Boba instead of leaving him to his own luck

Boba being raised with Jedi younglings while Jango is busy offworld....

The clones also become part of the Jedi Order so they can help Jedi with peacekeeping and defense and stuff

Palpatine gets found out and arrested and/or killed by the Jedi and everyone else gets to live happily ever after. Eventually.

... this is. Way longer than planned. I'm having fun

#hm i should make an original post tag #senator maul au #long post #maul #darth maul #ventress #padmé #palpatine #obi-wan #ahsoka #anakin #qui-gon #count dooku #... ok that's enough tagging characters. find this if you will. don't find this if you willn't.#this post spent so many days in my drafts because there's just so many thoughts to write down #and this isn't even every thought #i want maul to take obi-wan to dathomir expecting mother talzin to get rid of kenobi for him but she actually welcomes him #because he's dooku's grandpadawan and dooku is an old friend. and maul is mega pissed. like. how dare you get along with my mom.#also. live ahsoka (and ventress) reaction every time obi-wan flirty-banters with maul #and delayed obi-wan reaction when he remembers maul is a senator and this is highly inappropriate behavior #maul does not react he just glares at obi-wan #also imagining maul using magic and fighting with a magic-infused staff. sexy.#i need to post this already or else it will remain forever in my drafts #so let it be known this is not a complete solid idea this is an idea in progress #have fun thinking about it with me

Once again, fandom has such unrecognisable takes on Qui-Gon. I keep coming across AU fan art depicting Qui-Gon in Clone Wars armour. As if Qui-Gon 'I can only protect you, I cannot fight a war for you' Jinn would actually take part in the Clone Wars! First of all, if he'd survived the Duel of the Fates, he very likely would have left the Order not long afterward to train Anakin. And if for whatever reason the Council changed their mind and gave him permission to take on Anakin, then once the war started he wouldn't have stuck around. He would have left the Order rather than fight in that damn war, and he would have taken Anakin along with him.

(There's also the fact that, if Qui-Gon had lived, Dooku might not have gone to the Dark Side, so the whole Clone Wars scenario might have played out differently anyway.)

#Qui-Gon Jinn #Qui-Gon lives AU scenarios #I'm sorry but there is no universe in which Qui-Gon is just merrily fighting in the Clone Wars alongside Obi-Wan and Anakin #just no #he'd get the fuck out of there #and hopefully take them along with him

I ship Qui Gon x Shmi and need more happy au of them with anidala and grandbabies 😭

Shmi shoulda climbed that giant space wizard like a tree, I think there’s an argument to be made that it would’ve saved the galaxy.

And yes they would’ve been cute grandparents, especially Shmi 😭 (and I’m gonna reblog a fanart just for you anon)

#qui gon jinn #shmi skywalker #qui gon x shmi #tpm #everyone lives au #asks #askbox #anon

Hear me out- Qui Gon Lives AU but-

He survives and gets medical attention but ends up a coma; nobody knows how long he will be in a coma for but they don’t dare to just pull him out of whatever the equivalent of Life Support is in Star Wars; everyone could still feel him in the force and it wasn’t like Yoda was going to let it happen anyway.

But due to this, Obi-Wan still gets knighted and takes Anakin as his padawan, we are just not suffering the trauma and guilt of loosing Qui-Gon. And as times go on, Obi-Wan and Anakin try visiting every time they can, just as a comfort to know his alive. (Also would like to add- Obi-Wan can still feel their bond but is like a low hum in the back of his mind-)

But, Qui-Gon isn’t waking up any time soon, and suddenly years go by and he still isn’t waking up. But they all still hold out hope, because they can still feel them in the force, but more years go by and suddenly a War is happening. Half way into the start of the Clone Wars, Qui-Gon finally wakes up. And EVERYONE starts freaking out- because “NINETEEN YEARS AND NOW HIS WAKING UP” or “WHAT THE KRIFF, WHAT THE KRIFF-“ and this is not even counting how Obi-Wan and Anakin must feel- especially Obi-Wan.

And for Qui-Gon, he had just blacked out, thinking his death had finally come only to feel darkness for what felt like a few minutes to wake up, every bone in his body aching, to realize it’s almost been 20years and he had been in a Coma this entire time. And then he finds out that not only was Obi-Wan knighted and a Master with a seat on the council, but he had taken Anakin as his padawan. For then to find out Anakin has already been knighted and is currently training a Padawan himself (the poor man doesn’t know what to feel when he realizes that he has a great-grandpadawan-)

And everything is really emotional, and then he has to find out about the War and the Clones and has to take therapy to figure out how to function his body and “no- you are crazy to think we are giving you a lightsaber- you just learned to walk again” and a lot of things are happening and he has to process so many things but his lineage is there to help him until he can join his fellow Jedi again and help them in the Clone Wars-

Also imagine them realizing that they need a place for Qui-Gon because what had once been Qui-Gon’s and Obi-Wan’s quarters became Obi-Wan’s and Anakin’s and then Obi-Wan’s, Anakin’s and Ahsoka’s and they are figuring out how to fit another human with them-

ALSO THE ANGST WE COULD HAVE- not about the War and everything his missed but his relationship with Obi-Wan’s (and possibly Anakin’s) because he realized that Obi-Wan doesn’t need him anymore, this isn’t his 25yr old padawan still looking for his guide. No, this is a Jedi Master and a General nearing his 40s already who is capable of handling a entire army and his former padawan + grandpadawan like someone who’s been doing it for years (because he has and Qui-Gon can’t stomach the realization)

And he wants to form a relationship with Anakin but- Anakin isn’t that scare little boy from Tatooine, who used to look at him with stars in his eyes when he explained to him concepts he din’t understand about the Jedi and adoration when he had promised to train him. This Anakin has already gone through his apprenticeship and was now a Jedi Knight and General with a padawan of his own. Qui-Gon din’t know this Anakin, he couldn’t understand the inside jokes that Obi-Wan definitely did. (He tried to not think about his missing arm, courtesy of his former master)

And while he tried to bond with Ahsoka, new to the lineage herself, they din’t know each other. Ahsoka had no relation to him back then and she only knows about him through story other knights and masters would tell.

But even with all that, just imagine how everything will go. Order 66 would probably not happen now, which means a happy ending for mostly everybody!

#star wars #qui gon jinn #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #ahsoka tano #yoda’s disaster lineage #disaster lineage #qui-gon jinn lives au #qui-gon jinn lives #it would be so intresting to see him as a General with a clone army #and again- THE ANGST WITH OBI-WAN-#and the realization of everything that’s happening-#someone write a fic #someone pls write this

Summary:

“Knowing the future meant surrendering to fate. Surrendering to the ebb and flow of life. Only through that surrender could the Force be truly known.” -Claudia Gray, Master and Apprentice

Surviving near-fatal wounds does not come without a cost. After a long period of recovery from his injury at the hands of a mysterious Sith warrior, Qui-Gon must come to terms with its invisible and long-lasting effects. He determines that his new limitations must be a message from the Force about the new path his work as a Jedi must take and vows to follow that path, whatever it might bring.

But as his work closer to home brings to light alarming turns in the political direction of the Republic, he finds himself increasingly at odds with the rigid adherence of the Jedi Order. His insistent questioning – and his relationships with past and future apprentices – lead him to a new, deeper examination of his relationship with the Order and the Force . . . in ways that ripple outwards into surprising consequences for the Republic, the galaxy, and Qui-Gon himself.

I don't like Anakin unless it's the AU Anakin I made up in my head who is almost completely different from canon Anakin because I changed enough of the Jedi's history and his own history that he may as well be a different character.

#anti anakin #anti anakin skywalker #i literally gave him and obi-wan a dyad that came into being the moment anakin was born #so he's had exposure to obi-wan for longer than he can remember #obi-wan literally living in his head #from infancy #he left tatooine at like 4 years old #also i had the jedi basically kicked out of the republic like 150 years earlier #so no influence from palpatine and he doesn't meet padme until he's fully an adult #this also leaves qui-gon and obi-wan free to help free shmi before anakin leaves tatooine #i just said: 'i'm gonna remove every temptation anakin's ever had and only THEN toss him into a warzone and a bad relationship'#it went really well #i'm quite fond of that au's anakin #he's occasionally an idiot but he's also v much a real good person #not a fake good person #he has never believed in fascism #he doesn't take advantage of women #he's not attached to people #he's not space racist #he is bi and in love with ferus olin instead of hating him for no good reason #i just removed all of the aspects of anakin's character that make him a villain lol #and those are all of anakin's aspects #so he may as well be a totally new character #i may as well have made an oc and just slapped anakin's name on him

may the fourth be with you! here's a little snippet of something i may be working on. because i don't have enough wips already.

737 words (cw: child in pain)

Obi-Wan Kenobi was fourteen when he awoke to a buzzing sensation along his right forearm, the feeling of thousands of little pricks against his skin all at once. Scrambling from underneath the covers of his bed, he keened at the burning, pushing up the oversized sleeve of his sleeping tunic. Light from the city beyond created beams through the transparisteel as his hand brushed the point of pain, trying desperately to wipe away whatever was burning him and only making it worse. A sob escaped him, his eyes clenching shut, and he cradled his pain-filled arm to his chest, rolling onto his side and into a ball as he tried to release the pain into the Force.

Tears had leaked from his closed eyelids as he heard the metallic sound of his bedroom doors opening and the rushed footsteps as a deep voice called his name, "Obi-Wan? Obi-Wan!"

Obi-Wan felt the brush of a hand through his hair, petting him—Master, his overtaxed mind reminded him—and he let out a whimper at the feeling of comfort mixing with the pain.

"Obi-Wan," his Master soothed. "What's wrong, my Padawan? Your pain through the bond was immense."

"My arm... Master, my arm," he choked out, pressing the appendage closer and curling further around it. Some of him felt embarrassed at being caught behaving like a youngling, spilling tears over the pain his Master could see.

"Obi-Wan, you need to let me see," said his Master, and a hand tugged gently at it, trying to get him to unfurl himself. "Obi-Wan, I need to see what ails you."

Slowly, Obi-Wan stretched out his arm, the pain still ebbing in waves from the point of origin and traveling throughout his body. Encouraging words were whispered, a hand stroking his back as the other took his arm. Opening his eyes, he first noticed that there was light, not overly blinding but enough to see the blurry shapes of his bedroom items between his tears. The second was that Master Qui-Gon was kneeling next to him on the floor, his eyes fixated on the arm he held gently in his fingers.

"Master, what is it?" He sniffled, tears drying on his cheeks as the pain slowed and turned into an ache.

His Master's eyes cut away from his arm and to his face before moving back to his arm. "It appears you have a soulmark, my Padawan," he said softly, but his eyes looked in pain.

Obi-Wan reared back, scrambling to push himself upright on his unrestrained arm while trying to pull his other from Master Qui-Gon's grasp, who held onto it.

"I—I—no, I don't—I couldn't possibly have a soulmark," he stuttered, and he knew his eyes must be as big as a porgs. Having a soulmark was rare enough, but even those that had them, they didn't... "Master, it hurt. Soulmarks don't hurt."

His Master sighed, a long, drawn-out sound that seemed melancholy. "There have been occasions," but his Master trailed off, his brow furrowing as he stared at the words.

"What does it say?" Obi-Wan needed to know; he needed to know what dreaded words had been put upon his skin that had caused his unflappable Master to show such sadness. He pulled at his arm again; this time, Master Qui-Gon released it. Obi-Wan curled his arm into himself, the pain having dulled enough that he was no longer in agony. He looked down at it, turning it into the light so he could see.

The skin around the words was red as if itched raw or burned, and the lettering was a deep thick black that seemed almost out of place. It wasn't neatly written; it looked like someone had screamed these words with jagged edges at the creation of each letter. Obi-Wan sucked in a breath, his own sadness creeping in as he felt echoes of an emotion that wasn't his. Hate. The mark seemed full of it, but there was something underneath, something else that lingered there that he couldn't distinguish. His eyes stared at the words, heartbreaking because they were something his soulmate would say to him in the future, a group of words that would be the defining moment in their relationship. He felt a hand on his shoulder. Breathing going ragged, he reread the angrily written words across his skin,

I HATE YOU

and he wished to the Force that he would never meet his soulmate.

#obikin #eventual obikin #my crown #i really just wanted to do a soulmate au okay #but also i have like a million other wips i should work on #my brain said no #danielle writes #we live for infinite sadness obi-wan kenobi #i have a fic that's already qui-gon bashing and it's not even from obi-wan #i let qui-gon have a moment okay
