Summary
It was...him. Or, him as he had been, so many lives ago now. It was Anakin Skywalker, alight in all of his tanned flesh and toxinless blood glory. A face he had not seen in almost eons. It was all the same: the same face, unmarred save for the thin scar cutting down his brow. The same hair, golden brown and curling just so at the nape of his neck. The same flesh left hand and two flesh legs under the thin infirmary-standard blanket. Almost machineless, entirely. Almost human. Almost as it had been, above all.
But he looked through the glass to his own eyes, and rings of amber stared him down back.
Upon his death, Anakin Skywalker—and just moments before, Darth Vader—finds himself back inside a body of old; with one stark, significant difference.

Summary
“Unbidden, a shiver works his way through his body at the thought of that man being so close to him, just a few walls away. Though...this isn’t his Kenobi, the one that hurt—cutting, burning—that defeated him. It would be a younger one, a Kenobi from before the war. One that doesn’t know about what’s happened.
The thought of his old Master should make him angry, should have him burning for vengeance, but he feels only a terrible fear and betrayed, gutwrenching anguish. The rage he’s drawn on for years to smother those weaker emotions is suddenly out of his reach, slippery and vaporous.”
————————————————————
Three years after the fall of the Republic, what is left of Anakin Skywalker wakes up seven years in the past, in his nineteen-year-old body on the eve of the civil war.
He assumes he’s the only one.
(He’s wrong.)

Summary
He swallowed down the twist in his chest, the ache of all the memories this place held, now fractured and crumbling around them. Not only did the shifting shadows and alien hum of the alarms quicken Anakin's pulse, but the weight of everything that just occurred seemed to magnify that anxiety tenfold.
The whiplash of believing he’d been betrayed, then realizing he hadn't, only to doubt again, and then find true deception where he least expected it, left his mind spinning.
The lines between friend and foe blurred, tangled in a web that Anakin had been almost certain he could never fully unravel.
Now, as he fell into step with Kenobi, he wondered how he could have been so blind.

Summary
A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away, there lived an alternate universe in which Vader only did slightly terrible things to Leia, being stopped by the Force before any torture happens! Yay! Father daughter bonding time!
Oh, and, let’s kill the stupid Emperor while we’re at it.
(Rated TEEN for: fictional curse words, mentions of slavery, and flippant comments about death.)

Summary
Sometimes, in the quiet moments between his obsessive bouts of tracking Darth Vesper, Anakin thought about Ahsoka. About how easily the Council had cast her aside with no apology or admission of guilt. Only silence and a half-baked excuse of how the betrayal would make her a better Jedi. More useful to them.
She had trusted them. He had trusted them. And in the end, trust hadn't been enough.
Maybe that was why this hunt felt so urgent, why he couldn't let it go. If he brought Kenobi in, if he succeeded where the Council had fai— struggled, maybe then they'd see him the way he had always wanted them to since his first day standing before them at nine years old. Not as reckless or unstable or too attached.
Just right.
Just enough.

Summary
The first thing Anakin did, when he opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling, was to reach for his face. The mask was intact, concealing his identity. It didn’t have any form of Force suppressors devices on him, which means than, even unconscious, Anakin was able to keep cloaking his force signature.
“You are awake. I’m glad”. That voice. Although he didn’t turn, every cell in his body was tense. He knew that voice. Anakin could recognize it even with closed eyes, even after years apart. He had heard it, after all, every night in his sleep. It that moment, the brightness of his former master touched him. He was sure that if ever lost his mind, Obi-wan would remain. A ghost inside Anakin, ingrained in him so deeply that not even Anakin understood where he ended and Obi-wan began.
“Happy to finally capture me, General?” Voice modulator working. Small mercies. “I imagine they’re expecting us at Coruscant, right? Unfortunately, I have to decline. I don’t do bureaucracy.”
The laugh coming from the man outside was rich. So rich and unexpected, that Anakin felt himself trembling. He had missed him for years, and terribly so. But now he had fucked up spectacularly by being captured.
“Oh, I know”

Summary
In a fix-it fic rigorously adhering to the dictates of a challenge, and in the year 26 BBY we find Obi-Wan Kenobi realizing that just because Anakin is being a typical fifteen year old and avoiding seated meditation, doesn’t mean he should continue to allow it. Even if it did make life easier to just let him meditate and tinker.
Off screen, Count Dooku has inadvertently choked on an artisanal brioche and sadly died, thus instantly dissolving the mental corruption he had overlayed onto Jango Fett’s mind to make him just a teensy bit more malleable.
What follows is an absolutely inevitable outcome, because that’s how shatterpoints work.

In which Anakin has a psychotic break, Mace saves the Republic, Obi-Wan tries to balance being a good jedi with being a good friend, and nothing is going to stand in between Padmé and her husband any longer.

Summary
“You... came here to kill me.” Anakin murmurs, his blue eyes search Obi-Wan's and he can't help but flinch at that.
Then a painful looking grin rips across Anakin's face, cracks and splits it in two like the platform did, and something uneasy stirs in Obi-Wan's chest as the boy continues. “Yet you saved me. You can't kill me. Even after everything I've done... Master, you still love me? Still want me?”
Something has changed, in the way Anakin's eyes burn into his. Something is different. For the first time on this dreadful day, Obi-Wan truly feels fear.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was prepared to kill Darth Vader. He wasn’t prepared to find Anakin Skywalker. Blue eyes, a broken heart, and a hunger that doesn’t fade with love or loss. When the fires of Mustafar claim Padme, it also erases the last clear line between them. In a fatal moment of hesitation, Obi-Wan loses his saber, his freedom, and perhaps his future. Because Anakin has lost everything. Except him.
This time, in a galaxy where the twins are never born and Padme lost, Anakin returns with more than a scorched victory. The one prize he won't let go of. Can't let go of.
Grief binds them tighter than hope ever did.
