Why this must be read:
In this short fic we follow Obi-Wan's thoughts through his years of being a master to the Chosen One. At the beginning of the tale, Obi-Wan introduces Anakin to the Jedi library. Anakin thinks he should be in the dictionary next to the word "Skywalker." Since Skywalker is not in the dictionary, Obi-Wan comes up with other S words to describe Anakin.
As the years pass, Obi-Wan finds himself coming up with new S words to describe his young charge, even though Anakin has long since outgrown the game. Despite all the S words that fit Anakin, Obi-Wan is left without words in the end.
This fic gives the reader snapshots of everyday moments between Anakin and Obi-Wan. We can see their bond grow and develop, until Anakin severs it at the end of RotS. It's a quick read, and it stays very true to the characters and the overall Star Wars saga.

Anakin had spotted him, his face lighting up with a smile. "Did the Council say yes?" he asked, bouncing impatiently on his toes.
Obi-Wan refrained from answering for a moment--Anakin needed to learn patience--before finally nodding his head. "We leave for Ryloth in an hour."
Anakin whooped. "I get to fly the shuttle, right?" he said, falling into step with Obi-Wan. "You said I could if I learned Form III correctly and I did." He focused his bright blue eyes on Obi-Wan's. "You haven't forgotten?"
Obi-Wan gave Anakin a warm smile. "I haven't forgotten. I heard that you performed your latest routine flawlessly. Well done."
Anakin positively glowed at the praise. "I look forward to our next sparring match, Master."
Obi-wan bit back a laugh. Soresu was his preferred lightsaber form and Chosen One or not, he wasn't about to let a thirteen year old get the best of him. So he just let his eyes twinkle in amusement. "I do, too."
Anakin might be sharp--he was well on his way to becoming the greatest Jedi of his generation--but he still had much to learn. Obi-Wan planned on teaching him a bit about the dangers of overconfidence just as soon as they returned from their assignment.
He was probably looking forward to that lesson a little more than would be considered strictly necessary.
