Lineage Cousin AU pt 4

AKA Missed Connections on AO3

Part 1 Part 2 and Part 3 on tumblr.

Bandomeer is a dreary planet with land pockmarked by the remnants of the large ionite mines that had made the planet rich, and an ocean studded with deep-sea mining rigs in an attempt to keep a grasp on the wealth -- poisoning the water now that they've rendered most of the land inhospitable.

AgriCorps' mission here is to help restore the ecosystem on land back to the grassy golden plains of the past. Before greed had them digging massive pits in search of ionite. He doubts that they'll manage it before the water is just as toxic as the soil.

The boy, he is informed, is currently harvesting a crop of Helianthus Mammothans -- enormous plants with bright yellow blossoms and edible seeds usually found on Florrum he can practically hear Qui-Gon lecturing in his ear -- in Pit Cherek Five.

All of the outpost's speeders are in use, unfortunately, so he takes the offered flimsi-map and sets out on foot.

Jocasta had given him a copy of Initiate Kenobi's file. 'Give' might be a generous word to use there. His brief glimpse at the file had only come after he'd sworn to accompany her to the Coruscant Publishers' Expo next month. Books he enjoyed. A stadium packed with hawkers of predominantly low-brow literature for three days was just about as enjoyable as a vacation on... Bandomeer.

He hadn't been impressed with what he'd seen in the file. Initiate Kenobi was a middling student both in academics and applied force theory. He had nearly two pages dedicated to listing his disciplinary citations. The only thing to recommend him as a potential padawan was a modest natural talent for swordsmanship.

Not a single knight expressed an interest in him. Hardly a surprise when the boy was exceedingly average in all the ways that counted.

That his Master had roused himself to make a last ditch effort to pair the boy with Qui-Gon was a surprise. He recognized his Master's claws in the decision to send the boy out to AgriCorps early, coincidentally on the same ship as Qui-Gon. Yoda enjoyed those little "twists" of fate, even if had to engineer them himself.

If you lived as long as Yoda had, he suspected, you started to lose sight that you were meddling with the lives of beings instead of playthings.

Only Qui-Gon had quite spoiled the plot by resisting, for once, the urge to adopt the pathetic lifeform so generously presented to him on a platter.

His Master was quite willing to create a dramatic farce to see the boy apprenticed, but not go so far as taking the boy on himself. Typical -- and likely for the best.

A boy as unremarkable as Kenobi would crumble under the scrutiny of being Yoda's padawan. Yan would know, he was intimately familiar with it.

The barren ground makes the air abominably hot, even with the wind that gusts through the plains. He can feel the collar of his tunic becoming damp with sweat. This whole detour is a complete waste of his time, he knew it before he even left Coruscant.

Qui-Gon felt the boy ought to be trained. He will see this unremarkable boy, confirm that the boy is exactly where he is supposed to be, and then finally leave the Order and it's dewy-eyed hypocrites to rot.

If Qui-Gon felt the boy ought to be trained, he should have taken the boy as his padawan. It's too late now. It's already months past the boy's thirteenth birthday. There's no point to any of this, and yet here is. He has become embarrassingly sentimental in old age.

He arrives to find a pit mine that's filled with plants that are truly gigantic, taller than him, with massive dish-like heads surrounded by a mane of brittle brown petals.

Amongst them dances Novitiate Kenobi with a machete blade. Slaughtered flowers falling around him.

Younger Days before Uni

You need to read @babygirlbridger 's Jangobi fic (E) too to see how Obi got into that situation :3

[drawnbythestream]

ok 😅 some of my fave human Jedi just for fun. Without clicking on them or looking at the tags, hopefully you can tell who’s who.

Force ghost Qui-gon: Obi-wan...

Obi-wan: Oh no, "Obi-wan" in B flat.

Obi-wan: You're disappointed.

Disaster Lineage Timeline and Ages

Here is a Disaster Lineage timeline that actually makes sense and includes all members, plus their relative ages for each event. For all my fic writers who also get a headache trying to figure them out.

I tried my best to keep the relative ages the same as what Canon or Legends gives us with 2 exceptions (Xanatos and Komari). So while the dates may not be canon accurate for becoming a padawan or Knighting, their ages are. The grey cells mark how old the person was when they died.

I've given permission for this to be on the SW Reference wiki. Here!

Enjoy and hope you have fun with it! Detailed explanations for birth-date changes below the cut!

Buckle in Folks.

OK, so Dooku must be aged up minimum 5 years in order to train Rael before Qui-Gon and so Qui-Gon can train Feemor and Xanatos before Obi-Wan. Rael has to be at least 10 years older than Qui-Gon so that he can be knighted when Qui-Gon is padawan age. Canon has Dooku take on Rael at 22 so I kept that cause it's funny and that means Dooku has to be older than his canon birthday of 102BBY to fit both in.

Neither of Qui-Gon's birthdays work if you want to fit the other lineage members in. This is not at all annoying. 80BBY(canon) has him too young to train both Feemor and Xanatos before Obi-Wan and 92BBY(legends) has him being 17 when he becomes a padawan if Dooku trains Rael before him. 86BBY is my magical average that just barely works. I use fanon that Qui-Gon takes over Feemor's training cause it's the only way to fit him in without making Qui-Gon too old, thus domino-affecting Rael and Dooku.

Does this mean the 4 of them are all knighted between ages 21-23? Yes? Is that insane? Yes, but alas it's the only way I could make the timeline work.

Komari is the only birth-date I've moved for non-math reasons, her actual birthday is 62BBY, same as Nim, but that makes her 18 at Galidraan and I felt that was too young personally. (She kills 20 Mandos singlehandedly there. yeah. wtf)

Xanatos's birthday and death date are the same but I made him older when he fell because Legends has him as 16 and that really feels too young, especially since he was considered for the goddamn Knight Trials when he fell and we know Anakin was considered exceptionally young when he was knighted at 19. It makes for some nice parallels between them. Plus all the shit Xanatos gets up to after he runs off, he should be a little older to pull it off.

Knight Feemor and Padawan Kenobi in the shadow court

AU where qui-gon gives up on/is banned from training Obi-wan after melida-daan and Feemor becomes Obi-wans master.

[picture ID: it's a digital drawing of jedi knight feemor stahl, aged 37, a long haired blonde near-human with tan skin and forest green robes, sitting on the floor with his legs tucked in under him. He is levitating a bright yellow kyber crystal between his hands as a disassembled white-gold lightsaber is floating to his right. padawan obi-wan kenobi, aged 13, a ginger child with grown out hair and a padawan braid wearing white tunics is napping next to him on the floor using a sage green cloak as a blanket and knight stahl's knees as a pillow with his hands tucked under his cheeks. the wall behind them is tiled with diamond shaped star patterned tiles and to their right a large white blue and gold porcelain planter is holding a small gnarly tree with droopy green leaves. above them three identical complex lancet windows which let white gold sunlight into the room. the drawing is done largely in turquoise and yellow tones and the atmosphere is peaceful and serene. end ID]

Qui-Gon Jinn aka The Maverick

[ceruleanvermillion]

Okay wait I desperately need a qui-gon lives AU where he's sent on a secret undercover mission to the midrim for a year and or two that his lineage knows but kept quiet about because confidentiality, and when he came back the Clone Wars was already ongoing. Imagine Obi-wan and Anakin delightedly going "Master Jinn!" when he returns, completely disregarding the utter confusion of the clones and because they have never ever seen this man man before.

[penelopwgarcia]

the disaster lineage is basically

master: I don't want a padawan

*gets a padawan anyway*

master and padawan:

[antianakin]

I've decided the only valid answer to the question of "Could another Master have trained Anakin better/saved Anakin from Falling" is Jon Antilles.

This has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of personality differences between Jon Antilles and Obi-Wan or any belief that Jon Antilles would be a better teacher or has anything in particular in common with Anakin, and everything to do with the pure rage-fueled aneurysm that being Jon Antilles's Padawan would give to Palpatine as he tries to contact Anakin and is told for the 7th time now that Anakin and his Master were just declared dead again and no one's sure if it's stuck this time.

More Uni Au

But this time is Cal's private school

[deniigi]

Padawans.

Idk what’s up with the quality on the Obi-Wan and Anakin one. Me and procreate are learning how to combine into one artistic monster at a snail’s pace, so they’re just going to have to be fuzzy.

[lastminutestarwarsfan]

I love how Clone Wars avoids a continuity error with the whole "my powers have doubled since we last met" between Anakin and Dooku in Revenge of the Sith by...making every single one of their encounters all similarly ominous lmao.

Like every single time the duo of dumbasses that is Obikin crosses paths with Dooku I swear they spend like a solid 2 minutes exchanging pause-for-effect one liners like they've never met before it's always "Ahh Young Skywalker, how fitting the great General Kenobi was able to rescue you" like omg SHUT UP as if you 3 dramatic ass bitches aren't doing lightsaber tricks with eachother every other Thursday

I was wrong Obi-Wan isn't the original source of Anakin's sass and flare, it's Let-Me-Just-Meditate-While-I-Await-Your-Arrival-Before-Battle Dooku

[padawansuggest]

Mace: Onto the next order of business- *turns to glare at Dooku when his comm goes off again* Do you need to answer that?

Dooku: *suspicious look* It’s just Qui-Gon.

Sifo-Dyas: :) Yan gave his newest Padawan a book on dead languages.

Mace: I… don’t see why that’s a bad thing? Obi-Wan loves languages, you’d think Qui-Gon would be happy with his student getting along with his master.

Dooku: First of all, that is the opposite of what Qui-Gon wants. Second of all… Obi-Wan taught himself to speak some of these dead languages. And now they’re what he speaks in when he’s sleepwalking. Qui-Gon wants me to find the exorcist we used on his last padawan when Xana started acting funny.

Council: …

Yoda: *giggling*

Yaddle: You helped Dooku pick out the book, didn’t you?

Yoda: Said anything, I didn’t!

Mace: Oh my god. He’s terrifying enough when he’s sleepwalking.

Sifo-Dyas: :) I think it’s cute. He’s a sweetie.

Plo: He is, he really is, I tell you, Qui-Gon almost had to fight me for him.

Dooku: *quietly turns his comm on silent and puts it face down on the chair* Onto next business?

[theguardianwriter]

Baby-wan: Master the clingy one is back

Yan Dooku: Which one, you have to be more specific young one.

Baby-wan: oh, um it the one in armor.

Yan Dooku:

Baby-wan: Master Nu doesn't look happy

Yan Dooku: I'll call the Temple Guards.
