Some Things are Certain, by Dee (NC-17)
Fandom: STAR WARS PT
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Anakin
Author on LJ:
cupiscent
Author Website: Furtive Scribblings
Why this must be read:
The main idea behind this AU fic is that though the world is fluid with possibilities, some things are certain, unchanged by circumstance. Taking on the premise that Anakin never left Tatooine and remained a slave, this is a lovely 'what if' first encounter between a teenage Anakin and Obi-Wan, when Obi-Wan is forced to land on Tatooine and commissions a young slave with engineering skills to repair his ship quickly.
It's a short interlude that can't affect the future of either one, but at the same time seems to bear life-altering gravity for both. Despite the changes, this universe is not much different than the canon, the Clone Wars are still happening, and Anakin and Obi-Wan personalities are also clearly recognisable, as the people they could have become. The way they relate and connect is the same, but now, minus the anger and bitterness, it's made simpler, easier, a merciful little escape from the canon bleakness, but not lacking in depth.
