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: Obi-Wan goes to the Galactic Senate to support Queen Amidala. He has another encounter with Senator Palpatine. And he meets another old friend, one who isn’t faring so well in this timeline.

Chapter Summary: Three years after Obi-Wan entered the temple and two years after the events at the end Chapter 26, when Qui-Gon was made a member of the Jedi High Council, Obi-Wan has settled into life as a Council Padawan. He has his friends, he had his responsibilities. The life he’d lived on Tatooine is a distant, if unpleasant memory.

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

Chapter Summary: Keeping a secret Yoda has been. Nearly nine hundred years old he is and many secrets he’s kept, but most dangerous is this secret.

And knows the old saying too well he does, a secret is not a secret when two beings know, unless one of those beings is dead. Or if both of those beings are Jedi.

Chapter Summary: Qui-Gon returns to Coruscant, but the journey back to the Temple isn’t an easy one. He has no money, his pack we stolen, his boots are broken, he’d gotten sick on the space station, he hasn’t eaten in three days, and after a two hour schlep from the spaceport, he doesn’t think he can climb the stairs and get himself into the Temple.

The only good thing about this day is that the sun is shining.

Chapter Summary: The morning after Plo’s very interesting conversation with Padawan Kenobi, he reports to the High Council chamber a little late. The Master of the Order takes one look at him and asks him why he’s suddenly acquired a shatterpoint.

Plo has no idea. He’s not the type to go around acquiring such things.

Oh, wait. He spent time with Obi-Wan Kenobi. That might explain it.

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

Chapter Summary: It’s a strange thing, but Obi-Wan has no concrete memory of finding his kyber crystal when he made his Gathering trip to Ilum in the last timeline. He remembers going to Ilum, but he can’t remember actually finding the blue crystal that powered his 'saber until he’d lost it during the battle with the Sith on Naboo.

He’s kind of freaking out about it. And the whole trip to Ilum. It’s the Visions thing - how it’s going to interact with all of his midi-chlorians.

Obi-Wan is in for a very big surprise.

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.

Author’s Notes on Chapter One - Where Our Souls Will Walk, Hopeless After Death

ETA 5/31/25: Just a note about a minor retcon in Chapter 1. I realized I never fully established the timeline for Obi-Wan on Tatooine, when he arrive and how long he was there. Without giving away any spoilers at this point, I've added a single sentence when Obi-Wan ask Shmi about the year (added text in bold):

Shmi laughs. "Well, it’s not as if Tatooine keeps a calendar. We mark the years by the Hutt’s big festival, Boonta’s Eve, which just passed, three days ago. You know we’re on Tatooine, right?"

Chapter Five on AO3

Challenge #8

Talk about a current fannish project (fic, art, vid, crochet, funko pop village) (that you are creating or enjoying)


Most of 2022 and 2023, I had a lot of trouble getting momentum going on my writing. In March, 2022, I finished a huge fic that I had been writing serially for just about a year (it clocked in at nearly 190k and had gotten an amazing reception by the fandom) and it honestly knocked the stuffing out of me. I started a bunch of different projects but none of them seemed to gather any traction in my writing brain.

And admittedly, work was, at the time, all-consuming.

My besties in the Braincell have given me amazing encouragement, rooting for their favorites, but none of these projects gripped me emotionally. I’d get to 20k or so and the mojo would just leak out like a punctured tire.

I spent a year like that, and then it happened. I read a fic I hated, but I loved the trope. Oh, I love this trope. And I said, "Self, write this trope."

And I am. But I did something I’ve never done before.

I started OUT OF ORDER.

You’ve got to understand something, this is heresy for me. I’m a pantser, but I am an extremely orderly writer. I start at the beginning and I march forward like a wind up toy soldier, until I get to the end. No deviation. I have the story in my head and I write and write until it’s done, chapter after chapter, building the plot until the climax, and then I get to type "FIN" and I sigh with happiness. It might be three hundred words, it might be a hundred thousand words.

But with this one, I just decided to write a bunch of framing chapters. No, strike that, I decided to write the fun stuff first. And it’s kind of appropriate, since the damn trope is time-travel/fix it.

So, should I tell you about this fic? It’s an Obi-Wan story, of course. And the first chapter is angsty as hell, which is kind of why I hadn’t wanted to start writing there.

( Spoilers Ahoy )



I’m almost done with Part I, which is 12 chapters and about 55k. Most of what I’d written out of order belongs in Part II. The challenge with the fic is that even though it is heavily AU, it is still an in-universe story, and I’m not as well-versed in canon as I ought to be when writing something this complex. I’m spending a lot of time on Wookieepedia and also making up crap as I go. That means I'm making a lot of choices that may require extensive author’s notes. Or maybe not - do readers of fan fic really care about canon compliance?

I probably won’t start posting until I’m finished with Part II and well into Part III.

While writing my big Din/Luke fic was a creative challenge (The Stars Across the Sky Like the Scars Across Your Skin, the aforementioned 189K beast), writing every chapter on a week-by-week basis was too damn hard and burned me out. I need to be able to write and edit and polish and make changes and fix things that don’t work. I need to have more respect for my story. When writing Stars/Scars, I was chasing my tail and trying to keep the story’s fandom happy and satisfied - and while having a massive hit and kudos count is an achievement, ultimately, I feel that I could have respected the story a lot better if I took my time with it.

So, I am giving my time-travel fic all of the air it needs to breathe. I’m taking breaks to write "smaller" stories, like WildPeace, the timestamp for writestuff ’s Yooperverse AU, a schmoopy Secret Santa for my friend ell, and drabbles for starwars100, my new community that seems to be going like blasters in a pitched battle.

And just because I need a place to park it, this is a list of the stories I started, but lost traction on:

Modern AU Set in Coastal California - Architect Ben/Artist Qui-Gon (24.6K)
Fae AU Set in Modern Los Angeles - Entertainment Lawyer Ben/Screenwriter Qui/Part-Time Dog Rael (21K)
Stars/Scars Sequel (18.8k) (also may be the worst thing I’ve ever written)

Author’s Note:

Three years ago, I found an amazing story, Ever Since Happiness Called Your Name, and it became my perfect fanfic. I have read it so many times, I can recite parts of it. I was lucky enough to meet WriteStuff, the amazing author of this amazing story, and even luckier to become friends with her, amazing person that she is. For the last year or so, we have spent many hours each week (or day) talking about Kal and Ben and their lives. They are quite real people to us now.

One of our conversations centered around a comment Kal made at the end of Beyond the Rightness and Wrongness of Things, when he's talking about his relationship with his father. He seems so facile about it, and I just called bullshit, and said I'd like to write a timestamp exploring the truth of what really happened between Kal and his father. This story is that.

WriteStuff was not only my cheerleader and alpha-reader, but she was a critical reader too, making sure my vision of Kal and Ben stayed aligned with hers, but she also gave me amazing freedom, too. Working with her and her creations and George's (well just barely George's now) has been an honor.

The title of this story is borrowed from the poem by Yehuda Amachai, Wildpeace, which is reproduced in the endnotes.
