A Strange Kind of Love
BarmaDumet
Summary:
Jude Watson’s The Last of the Jedi book series picks up about a year after the events of ROTS. This fic revolves around a potential plot twist from TLOTJ Book 8:
What if Vader had succeeded in his plan to have his memories of Padmé erased, but in the process loses much more of his memory than bargained for?
You won't have to have read TLOTJ to read this fic. I've done my very best to recap any info from those books I felt essential to the story.
*
Ferus encounters a memory-wiped Darth Vader, who with no recollection of being Vader, is nothing more than a frightened and badly wounded Anakin Skywalker. Against his better judgment, Ferus begins nursing Anakin back to health, with the intent of returning him to his Master, Obi-Wan, all while wrestling with the harsh reality of who Anakin had been - an evil, masked Sith who had just recently murdered his husband.

Summary
“Master??” Anakin asked in confusion, trying to force his stubborn eyes to stay open and focus. This was Anakin’s Master, but he looked the way he did ten years ago! Undoubtedly, he was even younger than that; the evidence hung behind his right ear and down to his shoulder – he was a Padawan. Anakin sat up in shock. “Master, what’s going on?”
Obi-Wan looked back over his own shoulder, but there was no one there. Who was this boy talking to? Who was he calling Master? “Uhh. . . I, uhhh. . . I’m. . .” Obi-Wan started to back away.
“Obi-Wan?” Anakin tried again.
Obi-Wan stopped in his tracks. “You – you know me?”
“Of course I know you!” Anakin’s expression was painted with horror. “You don’t know me??” he asked unnerved.
*****Obi-Wan Kenobi goes to sleep as a thirty-six-year-old Jedi Master and wakes up as a seventeen-year-old Padawan. *****
"You’re with me, and I’m with you,” Anakin said assuredly. “You rescue me, and I rescue you. We will always save each other. When I am weak, you are strong. When you are weary, I will be your strength. You are the light to my darkness. You give me balance. You give me peace, and all I want is to give you the same.”
