*

Every night, after the binary suns had disappeared below the horizon in a blaze of color, Obi-Wan huddled in his cloak and awaited the dawn, watching the brilliant changeful dome of stars with apprehension, fearing one would draw closer, bringing a torrent of death and chaos.

There was no one to help him if it did. His compatriots were gone, and here on the edge of the desert, he was already an outcast after the passage of only a year.

Sudden warmth suffused him, and a silent voice.

You are not alone, Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan closed his eyes.

Thank you, Master.


End.

Aw, poor Obi-Wan! At least he can hear and feel his Master.

Not a bad consolation. :)

A little reassurance at the right time can help a lot.

Beautiful -- especially the dread of seeing one of the 'stars' turn deadly.

I'm delighted you liked that bit - many thanks!

I hope Qui-Gon provided him with some measure of comfort. Thank you for your lovely comment. :)

Just gorgeous! :)

Thank you! :D Ooh, Obi-Wan suspended. Hmmmm.

I am completely unfamiliar with both films and fandom, but I love the drabble. Very powerful and beautifully written.

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you dearest! You're very sweet to read it. :)

[identity profile] crazy4ew.livejournal.com 2011-05-28 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Gads, I miss reading fanfic... can you believe the last thing I read was that lovely piece you wrote about the Ballet dancers? a VigBean fic. That was so lovely. How long ago was that??? *shakes head*

It's a good Friday night for moi... raining cats n dogs, hubby in UK with his Mum (picking her up for her visit here), boys out, I'm all alone chilling and doing a bit o' nothin! ;)

We need to ketchup!! :) *big kiss*

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Goodness, that must be at least a year ago now. I say you should quit your stupid job and do some catching up. :D Hope you had a good night chilling - maybe we can have a phone chat soon!

This is lovely, and such a warm comfort.

Oh, thank you so much! :)

[identity profile] suechosethis.livejournal.com 2011-05-28 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
Lovely Alex, I could feel the tension leaving Obi-Wan a little knowing Qui-Gon was near :)

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Bless, that's lovely of you. :)

[identity profile] green-key.livejournal.com 2011-05-28 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Love that Obi-Wan huddles in his cloak, but he's not warm until Qui-Gon comes along. *sigh* Thank you for that.

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
:D Thank you so much! Hope you're having fun at MW - I'm really behind reading.

[identity profile] honscot.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that was really lovely.

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much indeed!

[identity profile] nerowill.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
:) And I completely believe this is canon.

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-05-31 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I believe it too. :D

*heart breaks open* How did I miss this?! Was my LJ trying to hide it from me? I feel cheated!

But now that I have read it....*sigh* Like others, I love the peacefulness of twilight contrasted with the doom of one star swallowing up everything. And Qui-Gon's presence there to reassure Obi-Wan in such calm, unending love is so much what their pairing is to me. Beautifully done. :)

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I like the idea of Qui-Gon's presence as bulwark and comfort to Obi-Wan, now that he's so alone. :)

[identity profile] ohseaholly.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow I missed this! But when I saw it I had a happy little squee because no matter how short, your TPM fic is always wonderful. And this was lovely! Obi-Wan's fear as he watched the night sky actually gave me a little shiver, and Qui-Gon's reassurance to counter his loneliness was a wonderful warming contrast. Loved it! :)

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-06-06 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you very much indeed! I'm really glad you liked it, and so pleased it felt visceral to you. Thanks again! :D

[identity profile] maxinjo.livejournal.com 2011-06-30 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I am so happy to find new Q/O fic, especially from favorite authors :). And Qui never leaving Obi's side -- I just adore Qui and Obi together always!

This is beautiful. I love each and every word. I read it a few times and I think I loved it more each time.

[identity profile] splix.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
*beam* That's so sweet - thank you very much indeed! I'm so glad you liked it. :D
