    Summary

    Anakin Skywalker learned how to lie before he knew how to tie his shoelaces. He wouldn’t be able to lead a successful double life if he couldn’t. At the age of twenty-two, he is the most popular stripper at the Starfall Club, the most skillful informant of the Naberrie family, and – the best liar in the world. There's only one lie he can't pull off - pretending he feels indifferent toward his drop-dead gorgeous professor.

    Summary

    The ancient Galactic Republic is dying slowly—an ugly death of corruption, sprawl, and decay—with the sin of slavery hanging over its every triumph. The beleaguered Jedi Knights are too few to adequately patrol and police the entire Republic, and are faced with complacency and greed at every turn. Born into a crumbling and stagnant galaxy, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are faced with the greatest challenge of all: themselves.

    Obi-Wan likes rules and control. When the galaxy around him stops playing by the rules, what is a Jedi to do? Anakin needs rules and restraint. When the galaxy around him conspires to set him loose, what is his Master to do? Falling slowly or falling fast, falling through lust or falling through wrath—it all leads to delusion and moral decay. What can be born from the ashes?

    Or, how Obi-Wan and Anakin fell to the dark side, obtained their revenge, and saved the galaxy in the process.

    Summary

    A bunch of paperwork in front of him, one of those hideous pastel cups of what probably used to be steaming hot coffee right next to the man's work, he gave the impression of being rather deep in thought. Watching him hold a piece of paper and read whatever was so important, Anakin wondered how he was able to read comfortably in lighting like this. He did notice that the man was wearing glasses - reading glasses maybe? - and the slight hint of grey on his temples.

    And if Anakin had a thing for attractive people older than him, it was his business, thank you very much.

    [ or: Anakin goes to a coffee shop and decides to make the first move on someone for once. Thirty minutes later, he has a new job & the man he was hitting on is his boss now ]

    Summary

    Obi-Wan wasn’t expecting to stay the night when he agreed to drive Anakin home after their friends’ party, but he can’t bear to leave him by himself. Nothing happens. Except for a year of mutual pining until they meet on a snowboarding trip that ends up with them spending the night together again. And this time around, something does happen.

    Summary

    “Are you an angel?” Anakin’s small hands came up to cup his smooth cheeks, blue eyes wide with wonder.

    “No, Ani,” Blinking past the moisture threatening to flood his eyes, Obi-Wan laughed and in a wild moment of poor decision-making, pressed a loving kiss to Anakin’s forehead.

    But I swear I will watch over you like one if the Force gave me a second chance hummed unspoken between their new bond.

    (Obi-Wan finds himself back on Tatooine after his encounter with Darth Vader in the Death Star. Qui-Gon lives and becomes Anakin's master. Some things change and others do not. Time-travel Fix-it.)
