Summary:

It’s almost funny how he thought a hiking trip could fix everything in him that had broken so exquisitely. How he imagined a few months in the woods would turn him into a new person, separate him from his need to cling to everything he knows like it might slip out of his grasp if he isn’t holding on as tightly as humanly possible.

-- -- --

19 year old Anakin has just lost his mother and his place at university for the time being. Forced into a semester off to save his tanking grades, he decided to make meaning out of his life in the only way imaginable: escape into the mountains on the other side of the country and hike the Appalachian Trail.

Obi-Wan fights his own grief by going on a planned through-hike of the Appalachian Trail which was supposed to be a last hurrah with his dying father. After an accident takes him earlier than expected, Obi-Wan hits the trail alone, and he has no plans to change that.

Obi-Wan doesn’t expect to attract the lost boy who comes as unprepared for a through hike as possible; after begrudgingly taking in an inexperienced Anakin, the hike feels like something completely new. Together, they face their grief, figure out what it means to live instead of just survive, and make major decisions about what comes after a seven month through hike.

After a fight with 40 miles left to hike, everything comes to a head when Anakin doesn’t show up to the shelter they agreed to meet at. Obi-Wan must admit how much he cares about this boy as he takes to the trail alone to find him before anything worse than getting lost and possibly injured can happen.

chapter one of the time war au is up!

The force glimmers here, more vibrant than anywhere else on the field. He is certain this was the Republic, one of their operatives acting to sabotage his efforts. Beneath the rage he feels bubbling in his chest, there is fear, and there is admiration. It is not often he is bested. He is his Master’s right hand for a reason. He does not fail, he is not thwarted. And yet. And yet. He finds it admirable that someone has beat him here, has taken his game and twisted it up in front of him. He feels the challenge in his veins. or The 'This is How You Lose the Time War' au no one asked for

perpetual motion (paused)

by quietlybookish

(Peter Nureyev will learn, staring out into the emptiness of space, perhaps he should have asked if Juno wanted him to stay. It wasn’t a concession he was willing to make at the time; too young and foolish to see anything but the possibilities supplied by perpetual motion. But, taking stock of it he thinks maybe that could have been a compromise.

Reflection is a dead man’s game though.)

here’s to now (and nothing else)

by quietlybookish

Shopping for Lucius is infuriating. Izzy thinks about getting him a gift card. Thinks about asking Pete what Lucius might really like but that seems like both a copout and like it may just be inviting trouble and way more information about Lucius than Izzy will ever need.

There are no good options for what you’re supposed to get the biggest-annoyance-slash-most-unwitting-friend for fucking Secret Santa. They don’t make guides for this. There’s no Buzzfeed article listing 101 gifts to get the worst person you know. Izzy would kill for one of those right now. Then, maybe, just maybe, he wouldn’t still be shopping.

You asshole Kenobi–

How does one even start to respond to something as asinine as your letter? How does one begin to formulate a response to someone as infuriating as you? Fuck if I know. It has been a long time since I have had the need to start a new chain of conversation; people don’t often choose to talk to me. What use is words when a weapon will do?

that's just something people say (when they're on their last leg)

by quietlybookish

Izzy knows Edward needs him, can feel it written in his bones and across his skin as clearly as he can feel his own heartbeat, even if it’s hard to remember most days.

Edward says “I need you here,” and he means “I love you”. He means “thank you” and “I’m sorry,” and “You’re mine ,” and a dozen other phrases he won’t ever say to Izzy out loud.

Izzy’s gotten worse at knowing what he means when he says it.
