#slaveless master

[secretsolarsystem]

Same age Jedi-Obi and hidden Sith-Ani meet in their teens when Nabooian Queen’s ship crashes on Tattooine. Ani is not thrilled at how Obi is treated by Qui-Gon regarding the Padawan’s “bad feelings” and his connection to the Unified Force. The young Sith has taken a shine to Obi and has decided to keep him.

bestie!!! this one had me thinking and scheming and concocting and I really hope you like what I came up with hehe <3

canon-divergent, same age au, Anakin was found by Sidious on Tatooine, padawan!Obi-Wan, 2.2k

–

Tatooine was not a friendly place. The relentless suns and unforgiving desert were not kind. Why would they be? Why would the suns or the dunes care for feelings of mere lifeforms? Why would they not do what they do best – heat the sand that house creatures and allows scant plants to grow – because people felt uncomfortable?

The people of Tatooine were hardly any better. They did not trust, they did not offer an open hand, they hardly even spared a glance unless it was a sneer. And why should they? Why should they trust, help, or regard anyone on a planet controlled by a gang who enslaved, who killed, who turned neighbors against each other and made sure no one could succeed or thrive without it being at the expense of others?

Growing up, Anakin only had three people in this life: his mother, Shmi; his owner, Watto; and his friend, Kitster. To have a mother and a friend were a blessing, the only kindness the desert had ever given him. He was not and would never be grateful for his time as a slave, but he was at least fortunate enough to have been born into it and born a son. It was the only way he’d gotten to have a mother at all, most likely.

He’d had another friend, too, once – although, Anakin saw him more as the father he’d never had. He was a senator from Naboo, an old man named Palpatine who’d wandered into Watto’s shop one day with a kind smile on his face. He’d talked with Anakin as he worked on a busted speeder, asking him about his life and telling him all about Naboo. A slaveless world, a world with cool rushing waters rather than cruel endless desert. A place of prosperity, of generosity, of peace, of freedom.

“Should the whole galaxy not follow Naboo’s example, Anakin?”

Of course it should. Anakin envied Naboo and similar planets. He envied them so much he hated not only the Hutts and masters of Tatooine, but the wealthy and influential people of every planet. Where were they? What were they doing with their power?

Before he left, Palpatine showed him the power Anakin possessed. The way he could easily kill his oppressors and force others to help him bringing peace, freedom, justice, and security to the galaxy. The way he could preserve order and not only make things the way he should be, but keep them that way.

But he could only do so much, now. That’s what Palpatine had told him. “I am your master now, my boy, should you choose to follow my teachings. But you will not be my slave, for I will give you unlimited power to use at your disposal, so long as it serves our shared vision for the galaxy. Kill your owner, free yourself and your mother, but remain here. It is the only way I can safely train you. When the time is right, you will kill the Hutts and we will rid the galaxy of all its oppressors.”

What was Anakin going to do? Say no? Of course not. Of course he said yes, my master. Of course he became Darth Vader.

So now, in the present, Vader still had three people in his life: his mother, Shmi; his friend, Kitster; and his master, Lord Sidious.

That was, until the Force granted him with more friends. One, a handmaiden to the queen of Naboo. Vader was ecstatic to have another Nabooian friend to tell him all about the planet he longed to see. The handmaiden, Padmé Amidala, was a kind woman, just as kind as Palpatine had been.

But Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi apprentice – that was who Vader coveted as more than a friend. Not only was he closer in age to Vader, being only a year older than him, but he was so bright in the Force it was addicting. The man alone was addicting: his toothy grin, his Coruscanti accent, the way he’d wrap his finger around his braid and tug at it when he was deep in thought.

Vader’s Darkness craved to wrap itself around Obi-Wan’s Light, to keep it safe and hidden until it could consume it. Vader wanted to wrap himself around Obi-Wan for very similar reasons.

It was Obi-Wan that made Vader prolong the “fixing” of their damaged ship. They’d come to his shop – formerly Watto’s, the late Watto – asking for parts for the ship, and one look at Obi-Wan and one moment in the presence of the padawan’s Force signature had Vader offering to fix the ship himself. Maybe he would, one day, but the longer it remained inoperable, the longer Obi-Wan stayed.

So, if he was being honest, the only way Vader would fix the ship would be if it meant Padmé and Qui-Gon were to get on it and leave Vader and Obi-Wan to be alone, together.

Or even if it meant only Qui-Gon would leave. Vader did not like Qui-Gon Jinn. Not only was he a master, but he was Obi-Wan’s master, which was even worse.

Yes, Vader had a master of his own, but Sidious did not restrict Vader in the ways that Qui-Gon did Obi-Wan. Vader was encouraged to be emotional and attached, for feeding his anger and possessiveness were the key to harnessing his powers to their fullest potential. Obi-Wan, on the other hand, was instructed to release his emotions to the Force for the sake of balance. He was forbidden to form attachment for the sake of keeping the greater good above any one person.

In other words, it was Qui-Gon Jinn keeping Obi-Wan from returning any feelings of love or obsession or lust towards Vader, and it was Qui-Gon Jinn who wouldn’t let Obi-Wan attach himself to Vader. It didn’t matter how Vader attached to Obi-Wan like a leech, doing all he could to suck out his Light and love and blood; as long as Qui-Gon Jinn was Obi-Wan’s master, it didn’t matter.

It didn’t matter, but Vader still acted like it could matter. Even now as he worked underneath their ship, taking things apart so it would blow smoke and make terrible sounds when they’d try to turn it on tomorrow while Obi-Wan sat nearby reading his book, he couldn’t help but press his ankle to Obi-Wan’s. Vader often did that, making sure some part of them was always touching. And Obi-Wan never shied away, but he didn’t lean into the touches, either. It made Vader preen as much as it made something ugly and dissatisfied unfurl in his chest.

“Oh, Anakin, listen to this,” Obi-Wan said, clearing his throat before reading a passage from his book. It made Vader smile and press his ankle harder against Obi-Wan’s. These moments were everything to Vader; just him and Obi-Wan alone, their bodies – albeit just one part of them – pressed together, Obi-Wan’s voice filling the shop, both of them drenched with sweat as they sipped of Shmi’s homemade pallie juice.

As Vader continued to ruin the ship above him, a voice – Qui-Gon Jinn’s deep, calm, irritating voice – interrupted Obi-Wan’s reading to announce, “We’re leaving.”

Vader cursed loudly as he shot up and banged his head hard on the ship, groaning as he pushed himself out from under his work. He sat up, frowning at Qui-Gon, who was frowning at Obi-Wan, who was also frowning at Qui-Gon.

Vader had wanted to strangle Qui-Gon just for interrupting Obi-Wan’s reading. Now he wanted to kill him. “On what ship?” he asked, quirking up an eyebrow. He even banged the side of it with his tool, letting everyone hear how it made the loosened parts inside rattle around.

Obi-Wan cringed at the sound, but Qui-Gon just met Vader’s glare with his own steady stare. “The queen’s handmaiden has successfully transmitted a message to Naboo, and a ship is already underway to pick us up.”

Vader stood, enraged. “So you’re just going to leave? You owe me a lot of credits for the work I’ve done.” Sure, the work had made the ship worse as an excuse to be with Obi-Wan, but it was work nonetheless.

“The queen has promised to ensure your payment is brought on the ship coming to get us,” Qui-Gon assured, doing nothing to alleviate Vader’s anger. It was hot: they were in a small, crowded shack in the middle of the day on a desert planet with two suns. But it was Vader’s blood that was boiling him from the inside out.

“Has she,” he said through gritted teeth. Vader liked Padmé a whole lot less now, her and her generous queen.

“When are we to leave, Master?” Obi-Wan finally spoke, face set into the neutral expression Vader hated. It meant he was hiding how he really felt, and Vader more often than not saw it whenever Vader got close to getting Obi-Wan to admit to even a semblance of returned attraction.

“Miss Amidala says tomorrow night, at the latest,” Qui-Gon answered, crossing his arms in the sleeves of his robe that was truly too hot to be wearing now. “Be sure you’re packed by then, Padawan.”

“Master,” Obi-Wan spoke, chewing his lip. Vader knew what this meant, too – he’d watched Obi-Wan enough to know all his tells. He was about to tell Qui-Gon something he knew was going to get shut down. It made Vader’s anger only grow, and ugly thing growing in his chest and stomach. “I have a bad feeling about this.”

Qui-Gon sighed, and it made Vader want to run his hidden ‘saber through his chest. How anyone could dare to act annoyed by Obi-Wan interacting with them only proved to Vader that the galaxy truly was out of order. “How so?”

“I just…I do not feel it’s time to leave. I fear terrible things will happen if we do,” Obi-Wan said, wringing his hands so he wouldn’t grab for his braid.

Obi-Wan was right feel this way. It was bad for him to leave Vader. Something bad would happen. Vader would find a way to hunt them down and he would kill Qui-Gon Jinn and maybe even Padmé and her queen – anyone who dared to take his Obi-Wan away.

“All will be well, Obi-Wan,” Qui-Gon dismissed as he turned for the door. “You will see in the morning.” And with that, he left. And with him leaving, Vader rushed forward, grabbing Obi-Wan’s arm.

“You really feel bad about leaving?” he asked, knowing that wasn’t quite how it’d been phrased.

Finally reaching up to tug at his braid, Obi-Wan turned his blue, blue eyes to look into Vader’s with a worried nod. “Master Qui-Gon is right, though. All will probably be well.”

“I won’t,” Vader said, tightening his grip on Obi-Wan. “I won’t be well at all if you go.”

Frowning in confusion, Obi-Wan dropped his braid. “What?”

“Obi-Wan, if you don’t want to leave, then don’t. Don’t leave me, not if you don’t have to,” he said.

With a sigh he must have learned from his master, Obi-Wan shook his head. “Anakin-”

“I believe you.”

Obi-Wan blinked at him. “You…believe me?”

“I do,” Vader pushed, bringing up his other hand just to have both of them on Obi-Wan. “If you say it’s a bad idea, then I believe you. I trust you, Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon doesn’t.”

“He- He’s just helping me to trust the Force, is all.”

Scoffing, Vader shook his head. “And what is giving you these feelings, if not the Force? If you ignore them, Obi-Wan, are you not ignoring the Force?” Obi-Wan opened and closed his mouth several times, and when he didn’t answer, an idea came to Vader’s mind – one he’d considered before but never felt emboldened enough to actually suggest.

But now, with a doubtful Obi-Wan and a desperation clawing through his chest and his master tugging on their bond in encouragement, Vader spoke the words: “Stay, Obi-Wan. I can teach you more than he ever could.”

Frown deepening, Obi-Wan made to pull his arm away, but couldn’t escape Vader’s grip. “What do you mean, Anakin?”

Breathing rapidly, Anakin shook his head again. “I can explain it later, when you stay, but I can teach you to trust yourself and the Force, the way that I trust you.”

It was a long shot. Obi-Wan would have to leave everything behind to live on the hottest, most unforgiving planet. But, Vader knew, once his master called for them, when the time came, Vader would put Obi-Wan in a palace where he’d never want for anything. He’d do anything to make sure Obi-Wan never felt the way Qui-Gon Jinn made him feel, ever again.

“Anakin, I don’t know-”

Moving his hands to grab Obi-Wan’s shoulders, Vader looked deep into Obi-Wan’s wide, blue eyes. “You do, Obi-Wan. The Force is telling you that you do. And you don’t have to ignore it anymore.” Vader watched as a tear fell down Obi-Wan’s cheek, though from relief or fear he didn’t know. He didn’t care. He leaned forward and whispered right into Obi-Wan’s ear, “You can have what you want, for once.”

With a shaky breath, Obi-Wan whispered back, “I don’t know what I want. I’ve never been allowed to want.”

Hiding his smile in Obi-Wan’s temple, Vader closed his eyes, inhaling the scent of Obi-Wan’s hair and his sweat. “That’s alright, Obi-Wan. I’ll show you what you want.”

Vader held onto Obi-Wan as he tried taking deep, calming breaths, surely considering his options. I’ll show you want you want, Vader vowed, and I’ll give it to you, too.

Pride and Prejudice and Purchase Price, Chapter One

[What do you think of this, folks?  Should I write more of this, or do something else -- or anyway, do something else first?]

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a slave.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that some one or more of their daughters is considered his rightful property.

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his First Slave to him one day as she kissed his feet and then pulled his stockings on, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

“But it is,” returned she; “for Agleth, Second Slave of Mister Long, has just been here, and she told me all about it.”

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

“Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his slave impatiently as she buckled his shoes with care.

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”

This was invitation enough.  She smiled up at him, rubbing her cheek against his thigh through his breeches.

“Why, my Master, you must know, Agleth says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his eunuchs are to be in the house by the end of next week.”

“What is his name?”

“Bingley.”

“Has he any slavegirls?”

“Not a one, my dear, to be sure! A slaveless man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”

“How so? How can it affect them?”

“My dear Lord and Master,” replied his slave, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his purchasing one of them.”

“Is that his design in settling here?”

“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may come to lust after one or more of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”

“I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party, although it would pain me to part with you.”

He showed how highly he still regarded her by undoing his fly and directing her with his pointing finger to pull out his stiffening cock.  Happily she did so, stroking it to full erection with her fingers and cheeks, planting small kisses along the shaft and on the head as the head emerged from his retracting foreskin.

“My dear, you flatter me,” she said between kisses. “I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a slave has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.”

She began licking around the head of his cock in slow circles, the way she knew he liked it best.  Two decades of service to him as a slave, since the day he had purchased her from her father, had taught her well just how to please him in this, as in so many things.

“In such cases, a slave has not often much beauty to think of.”

She interrupted her ministrations to look up at him and say,

“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”

“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.”

She took his head into her mouth and plunged her head up and down rubbed his cock several times, then rubbed the head against her cheek while she said,

“But consider your young slaves. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lector Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.”

“You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his buying as many as he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy.”

She gave his cock a playful squeeze and flicked her tongue across the slit.

“I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia. But you are always giving her the preference.”

“They have none of them much to recommend them,” replied he; “they are all silly and ignorant like other slavegirls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters.”

“Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves.”

She resumed pumping her head up and down vigorously, the tip of his cock now brushing the back of her throat on each thrust.

“You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least.”

She raised her flushed face with an audible pop and shook her head at him.

“Ah, you do not know what I suffer.”

“But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young men of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood.”

“It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.”

“Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all,” he said, and took her head in both hands to begin the final phase of his slave’s oral service.

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his First Slave understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters sold off at a good price, as that would reflect well upon herself and benefit her Master.  If they were sold off locally, an added solace would be visiting and news.

A more immediate solace was given to her when he came in her mouth, with deep groans, and she had the privilege of swallowing his essence, a task she always did with the true devotion and enjoyment of a natural slave.
