Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Life on Tatooine is different this time around. Obi-Wan might not have the Force, but he has Shmi and somehow, that’s almost as good. Watto is despicable, but Shmi has given him good advice - just ignore him, so Obi-Wan manages to cope. He’s always been good at that, even without the Force, but an unexpected encounter with an old friend pushes him to the breaking point.

CW: Brief mention of suicidal ideation.
