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: Yan Dooku doesn’t think that he’ll walk all over his grandpadawan in their duel this morning. After all, Obi-Wan is Qui-Gon’s student and Qui-Gon is his student, and although Qui-Gon prefers Ataru over Makashi, Qui-Gon has upheld the reputation of the lineage for decades. Besides, the boy has apparently beaten Mace at a spar. And as much as Yan despises Vaapad, he knows just how good Mace is with a 'saber.

So he expects Obi-Wan will give him a challenge. Which will be nice, it’s been a while since he’s had a chance to really work up a good sweat in the sparring ring.

Haven't really been doing the Fandom Snowflake Challenge this year, but maybe I'll catch up.

Day 6 - Best Canon

The last scene of the last episode of Season 2 of The Mandalorian.



I'd casually enjoyed The Mandalorian, but I wasn't particularly fannish about it until this moment. The return of Luke Skywalker into the franchise just grabbed my by the throat and dragged me quite willingly into the Star Wars fandom. Unfortunately The Book of Boba Fett killed a lot of my Din/Luke love (at least for the canon characters, and honestly, it had to -- given the whole hot mess of the Sequel trilogy.

But this scene is an amazing bit of canon and it opened the door to something I have really come to love.

He’s also eager to meet his newest grandpadawan. His master, Yoda, has been telling him all about the boy and his many perfections. Yan doesn’t believe half of what the old troll is telling him.

The life he’s living now is good. If he stops and thinks, Obi-Wan might actually admit to being happy.

Chapter Summary: Released from the Halls of Healing, Qui-Gon is looking forward to some quiet time with his padawan. They had only been separated for a few days, but it feels like a month.

Nothing is ordinary, though. A few hours after he and Obi-Wan get back to their quarters, Mace and Master Yoda pay a visit.

This isn’t going to be good.

Chapter Summary: There are three things that Bruck Chun knows about himself, he’s going to be a damn good Jedi Healer, he barely knows which end of a lightsaber to hold, and he’s the sweetest, kindest, easiest boy-whore currently wearing a gold senior padawan bead.

He’s not going to do anything to jeopardize his position in the Order, but there’s something about Obi-Wan Kenobi - a/k/a Padawan Mysterious, Padawan Delicious, Padawan Perfection - that just makes his head spin.

Not that he’s going to throw his good judgment out the window, it’s just, well, all that lovely red hair and those freckles. And those muscles. And that ass.

Mmmm.

Chapter Summary: At first, it seems as if Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are about to embark on their first mission, but the High Council quickly squashes that hope flat. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are temporarily separated for the sake of diplomacy and neither master nor padawan are happy about this.

What’s the worst that could happen? Obi-Wan gets to spend some quality time with his great-grandmaster and Qui-Gon does what he does best, solving the Galaxy’s problems by following the Will of the Force.

Everything should work out just fine.

Chapter Summary: Four padawans, life-long friends - Siri Tachi, Aayla Secura, Bant Eerin and Bruck Chun - are insanely curious about Qui-Gon Jinn’s new learner. Padawans don’t just pop up in the Temple like this without anyone knowing anything about them.

Right?

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

Chapter Summary: The Force-inhibitor collar is now off and Obi-Wan can feel the Force for the first time in this lifetime, and it is so very good. And he’s faced with a choice - let the powerful rush of now uncontrolled and unruly midi-chlorians rule him, or exert the discipline of a life once lived upon the power he’s been given and corral that power.

Obi-Wan knows what he has to do. But he’s still a teenager and some things slip, like letting certain members of the High Council know that he’s already accepted Qui-Gon Jinn as his master.

Oops.

Chapter Summary: Quinlan has an appointment for a high-stakes game of Sabacc in Jabba’s palace against a certain bad-tempered, spice-addicted Toydarian. He knows he has to win tonight, Master Yoda and Master Gallia are depending on him.

He’s also anxious to get back to his real mission of destabilizing Hutt control in the Outer Rim, breaking the spice trade and funding local abolitionist movements. Freeing one single slave seems like such a waste of his time and talents.

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: Obi-Wan meets Yoda and Adi Gallia for the first time, again. It goes well.

It is a disaster.

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.

Chapter Summary: Qui-Gon returns to the Jedi Temple with a rather fantastical tale. No, not the return of the Sith. Not his former padawan’s resignation from the Order. No, he tells them about a young slave boy with a massive midi-chlorian count who he wants to take as his new padawan.

This time around, the High Council is listening.

From All The Spaces Between Times - Chapter Three: My Scream Is Made of Strange Edges (On AO3)

( Meta - Chapter Three - My Scream Is Made of Strange Edges )

Ganked from minoanmiss, who borrowed it from Tumblr. The complete list is in the textarea box at the bottom of the post if you want to play along, too. I originally posted my answers on Minoanmiss’ entry


1 - Of all of the original characters you have written, do you have a favorite? I kind of love all of them, but right now, I have a very special place in my heart for a Star Wars Besalisk who settled on Tatooine. She's a motherly OC who is looking out for poor, reborn Obi-Wan in my time-travel fic, All the Spaces Between Times. Cyral and her lady-mate, Ducca, are sweet and badass and like to go to Jabba's place to listen to Max Rebo and Sy Snoodles play their hot jizz. Cyral brings Obi-Wan nerf steak sandwiches and tells Watto to get stuffed.

2 - Is there a ship/show for whom/which you are interested in writing yet are intimidate to try? I used to say that would be Star Wars, given the depth and breadth of canon (and what's now not canon), but Wookieepedia makes that fear baseless. And Star Wars fans really aren't rabid cultists. Unlike, say, Star Trek fans, who go nuts if you get a Stardate wrong. That's a canon I am definitely afraid to try.

3 - Have you ever written a chapter/scene that made you cry? Which one(s)? I used to do that to myself when I was writing White Collar all the time. Let me find the links to my most infamous tear-jerkers:

End of My Heart's Endeavor (Warning - Suicide)
Heaven for the Hunger, Poison for the Pain (Warning - AIDS/HIV scare, suicidal ideation)

4 - Which of your stories would you most like to see made into a movie? I really don't have much ambition in that direction, except for an original work I wrote for a smutfest a few years back. Yes, it's smutty, and yes, it's A/B/O, but it's still got plot. And I've already headcast it with Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston. So there! A Chance To Try Again

5 - Is there a character you find particularly difficult to write? Which one? On the flip-side, which character flows most easily for you when writing? Currently, I find I have trouble sometimes writing one of my blorbos, Qui-Gon, as he is in canon. Simply because in canon, he was such a fucking asshat. On the flipside, I adore writing Yoda. Maybe because I always love writing the quirky ones, just as I loved writing Mozzie, in the good old days. Also, I'm trying to relearn Latin, which is Subject-Object-Verb, a/k/a Yoda-speak.

6 - Are there writers from other fandoms whom you admire? If so, whom? Rubynye, whose Nu!Trek-fic is some of the best ever written.

7 - Do you have a favorite story among your body of work? I love all of my writing, but if I have to point to a story that I can say, objectively, is my best writing, it's a short work: The Lost and Found.

8 - Do you have a story that consistently challenges you? (or has challenged you in the past?) My WIPs folder is littered with stories, some that are almost 200k, that have beat my ass bloody.

9 - Have any of your multi-chaptered fics grown out of prompts submitted on tumblr? Do you enjoy receiving prompts, anonymous or otherwise? No, I'm sorry to say, but I don't. I used to, but not anymore.

10 - Do you have an idea for a story that intrigues you but haven’t been able to piece together? What would it take to inspire you to actually write it? I do. In fact I have several notebooks filled with ideas. What would it take? Winning the lottery, probably.

11 - Have you ever created alternate versions of your own stories? Are there any you are tempted to write? I don't know if it's an "alternate version" but in my current project, I wrote a bunch of out-of-order chapters to get my engines going, and almost all of them will end of being published as "alternate versions" because the trajectory of the story has changed so much.

12 - Do you sneak personal references into any of your stories? Would you care to share some examples? Absolutely, all the time. It was a lot easier when I was writing White Collar, since I live in the Metro New York area, and was an art history student in college. Most recently, I wrote a Star Wars AU that was basically a love-letter to a group of friends, incorporating bits and pieces of all our lives, and especially a vacation we'd taken. You can find it here - Bottle of Red, Bottle of White.

At 10:23 this morning, I experienced my third earthquake (Albany in '83, the DC quake in 2011). At first, I thought it was just a really strong gust of wind, but then everything started to rattle and shake. It lasted about 10 seconds. Thankfully, nothing broke or fell and there seems to be no damage.

This one was a 4.8 on the Richter Scale, centered in New Lebanon, New Jersey, about 90 miles away.

Did anyone else feel it?

Unless you've completely eschewed all electronic conveniences, it's almost impossible to avoid becoming subservient to the Power and Might of The Streak.

Your Fitbit does this to you. So does your Apple Watch. And your iPad. And your Kindle. If you do the NYT Crossword Puzzle, you're it's victim. And let's not forget to mention DuoLingo, the biggest StreakMaster of them all.

Somehow, we are now all chasing that tiny bit of serotonin from the notification that we've now added one more day to our Streak, and we're willing to sacrifice our physical and mental well-being to keep the Streak going.

A few years ago, I had a 550+ day streak going on completing the NY Times Crossword puzzle. I had been thinking about breaking that streak for months, resenting the need to keep on going, but I couldn't stop myself. I ended up accidentally missing a day and when I realized what happened, I dropped into a funk so deep I couldn't do the puzzle for weeks. I've never been able to get the rhythm back and the longest streak I've had since has been 130 days.

Similarly, I had a 370+ day Move streak on my Apple Watch - just over a year. I had to break it when I got the flu. I would get up and walk up and down the stairs but nothing I did would get me even close the the minimal goal I'd set and with a 103-degree fever, I finally gave up. I'm still not feel great three weeks later and although I try my best to get my ass moving, it's still hard. Last night, after spending the day wishing I could just crawl into bed and stay there, I gave up. It was 8:30, I was in tears (yeah, a grown-ass woman crying over a sore throat and body aches), and I was 85% to my daily goal, but I just had to give up.

You know what? Fuck the streak.

I do manage to ignore the daily reading goals from the Books app on my iPad. That's meaningless to me. I do a lot of reading that doesn't get calculated.

But the new monster is DuoLingo. Friends are quick to tell me about their streaks. I don't want to hear it. I've just started. I'm trying to re-learn Latin. Why? Because I suspect that Yoda was once a Roman Censor - it's the whole "subject-object-verb" thing.

I know I shouldn't let the fucking owl badger me. I suspect I'll be like everyone else and get glued to my phone for an hour or so every night. Better than surfing "Am I the Asshole" on Reddit for the schadenfreude.

Anyone out there feel the same way? What's your longest streak? Or better, what do you do to avoid the Tyranny of The Streak?

Chapter Eight on AO3

Well, after a really lovely first half of January, having a delightful time reacquainting myself with all things Dreamwidth, I seem to have fallen off the face of the earth.

Sorry about that. I've still got the last five(?) days of Snowflake to snowflake, and I just haven't been very present with anything social media.

Sorry about that, friends.

I got wrapped up in my ficcage, which is a good thing. Then frens kinda sorta yanked me into a group project.

(Well, the truth of that, that has only been a few days, mostly been writing, finally finished Part I, got started on Part II).

( And then I got the sicknez. )

Challenge #10

Five Things!

Five lawyers I love to watch on YouTube, a/k/a, the Pro-Democracy gang:

( Under a cut because, well, political... )
