Ties That Bind

Summary:

Commander Cody cleared his throat subtly. “Erm, may I ask, sir… how old is he?”

“I’m nine,” Anakin said. “But really, I promise I won’t be in the way while you fight, Master Obi-Wan. Maybe I can help in a starfighter!”

“Sir,” Commander Cody said. He sounded strangled.

Or: The Clone Wars start a week after Qui-Gon dies and Anakin becomes Obi-Wan's Padawan. Burdened with doubts, new responsibilities, and a former slave child to take care of, a twenty-year-old Obi-Wan finds himself adopted by an army of clones. The clones take care of their own, after all—but then again, so does Obi-Wan.

  1. Summary

    “Has the Council sent you to assist Master Jinn and Padawan Kenobi, Master Jedi?” a fifteen-year-old Padmé Amidala, Queen of Naboo, asked him. “I’m afraid you’ve come too late. The battle is over, and last I saw of the Jedi, they were fighting that creature with the red blade. I haven’t seen them since.”

    Oh, Anakin thought with dawning horror, oh, and found himself running for the shield generator.

    Or: Anakin time travels to the moment of Qui-Gon’s death. The aftermath puts quite a few things in perspective.

  2. Summary

    The loudness of Cody’s thoughts only gave prominence to the stunned silence that had fallen. “Force Sensitive? That can’t be right, General.”

    Obi-Wan offered a weary grin in response. “The universe has an odd sense of humour, Cody.”

    Or: Several clones are sensitive to the Force, Anakin is kept in the dark about three dozen Padawan brothers and is severely unhappy about it, and Obi-Wan learns that attachment might be the key to saving the Temple from the Darkness that surrounds it.
