    Summary

    There used to be a time when it was his duty to push and pry, claw open Anakin's head to look closer and demand an answer to something that didn’t want to be found. Now, with the blur of hyperspace outside their windows, and hundreds of sets of identical eyes pointed towards them both, it seemed inappropriate.

    Or maybe it was the fact that the line in the sand of 'Master and Padawan' had been blurred by Obi-Wan’s own selfishly horrible human desires. Even if he tried to push more gentleness, leverage that affection that he was so careful about in the first place as a coaxing towards the medbay, it seemed to push Anakin farther away, like a magnet sensing an ion field, shoving itself back towards empty black space in retaliation. 

    ---

    Anakin is acting strange. It's starting to rub off onto Obi-Wan.

    Summary

    Anakin finds him brooding on the balcony, because of course he does. No matter how many years have passed, no matter the disappointment and resentment and hurt between them, no matter how much he might like to pretend otherwise – Anakin might still know him better than any other person in the world.

    There had been a time when Obi-Wan showed him all the soft, vulnerable pieces of himself, safe in the knowledge that Anakin would cradle them softly in his palms and protect them from harm. Years ago, Anakin used to proclaim he’d rather die than allow any harm to come to Obi-Wan; ardently, repeatedly, genuinely. Back then, Obi-Wan had believed him.

    He knows all too well, then, that the way Anakin twists the knife nowadays is a choice. It’s a punishment he knows he deserves – he broke Anakin’s heart first, after all.

    Summary

    Ever since the Ruusan Reformation a thousand years ago, the Jedi have been indentured to the Galactic Republic. The core terms are simple: when a Senator makes a Request, the Jedi must fulfill it.

    Chancellor Palpatine isn't the first Senator to Request Obi-Wan. He is, however, the only one to offer him something he can't refuse—protection and freedom for his Padawan. The only price is Obi-Wan's own freedom, a price he will gladly pay to keep Anakin safe.

    A price that may just cost them the galaxy.

    Summary

    Anakin scowled. “Keep your mind games to yourself.”

    Kenobi circled him slowly, hands clasped behind his back like he was giving a tour. “Oh, they're not mind games, sweetheart. Just facts. Observations. For example—” His gaze flicked down and back up, maddeningly slow. “—you lead with your right side, but you favor your left when you’re angry. And you’re angry now, aren’t you?”

    Anakin’s saber hissed to life, blue light casting sharp shadows across the broken walls. “Say one more word and I’ll show you angry.”
