#or if anakin almost falls but obi-wan successfully reels him back in

[dream-about-dancing]

#so heres another au where theyre reverse master/padawan#but not actually master padawan unfortunately#even though i can see this anakin being very close to falling#because hes bad at letting his attachment go#and also qui-gon wanted him to train him because he thought obi-wan's light would be good for anakin#and that night when obi-wan goes to bed#still seething about the nerve of jedi knight skywalker#hes visted by qui-gon jiinn in his dreams#who begs him to let anakin teach him#anything about the force at all. he needs him.#and obi-wan who has never felt needed once in his life is like......he needs me?#well....alright then#so they start doing secret lil trainings while obi-wan is still a senator's aide#and anakin just. latches onto him like qui-gon jinn sorta thought he would#but it's even a tighter latching on than he thought because this anakin has spent ten years in the worst parts of the galaxy#so he's quickly becoming unstably addicted to obi-wan's light#and then later his voice and his smile and his kisses etc etc#don't know if this would be a universe where anakin falls and convinces obi-wan to join him#(suitless vaderkin's crazed eyes in rots telling baby obi-wan this is what qui-gon would have wante#a chance for him to train obi-wan as his apprentice#but only in the dark side)#or if anakin almost falls but obi-wan successfully reels him back in

au where everything is sorta the same in the phantom menace, but it's role reversal, so it's stewjon and not tatooine that they crash on, and it's baby obi-wan that padawan skywalker and his master qui-gon jinn find.

baby obi-wan isn't the chosen one or anything, but he's this pure beacon of Light in the Force, old and untrained as he is, and that's attracted a ton of different Force sensitives to the area---both Light and Dark. qui-gon tells baby obi-wan that he'll take him to the Temple for training if he wants, and obi-wan agrees only for qui-gon to be killed by a sith there who has also been drawn to obi-wan's Light.

that's not important though because anakin absolutely hacks the sith to pieces for killing his master (and baby obi-wan, who is kneeling by qui-gon's body and holding his big hand in his baby ones, is terrified that he'll be next when anakin turns around, covered in blood) and qui-gon tells obi-wan to make sure anakin trains him and anakin, sorta mad with grief and loss, is like 'fuck that,' but he does take him back to the temple, gives him to the council and then fucks off on a deep cover mission for like ten years so he doesn't have to even think about the brat who caused the death of his father-master.

meanwhile though, obi-wan's new master thinks he's much too strongly stewjoni to be trained, but he does try for a few years before giving up, trading him to another master etc etc until obi-wan leaves the order all together when he's sixteen to get into stewjoni politics.

so when anakin comes back from his mission, he's shocked to find that obi-wan is not where he left him and is now a senator's aide, resulting in him storming to the senate building and pulling obi-wan (roughly) aside, accusing him of ignoring qui-gon's dying wish for him to be a jedi

and obi-wan, who has grown up nursing a hurt and hatred for this jedi in particular, rips his arm away and is like 'actually master jinn's dying wish was for you to train me so you ignored it first.'
