Morning Will Come by Jedi-Princess-Solo (PG-13)
Hello! I'm Malabud, and I will once again be driving the Crack Van for Star Wars this month. Just to let everyone know, Star Wars lacks future drivers. If no one signs up after me, Star Wars may be discontinued as a full-time fandom here at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van. If you have some favorite Star Wars stories that haven't been recommended yet, sign up! Without you, the SW crack van will run out of gas at the end of the month!
And now, on to the recs....
Fandom: STAR WARS PT
Pairing: Gen
Length: 2,300 words

Why this must be read:
Just what did Obi-Wan spend his time doing during those nineteen long years between the end of Revenge of the Sith and the beginning of A New Hope? I think he probably watched over Luke, until Owen drove him away from the farm. Otherwise, I suspect that he spent a lot of his time brooding. Nineteen years is a long time to go over all the things one ought to have done differently, after all.
This fic depicts a ghostly Qui-Gon speaking to an unhearing, brooding Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon does not remonstrate his former apprentice, but he does have some wise words for him. Trouble is, Obi-Wan cannot hear them. The fic is short, but it's a lovely read. Qui-Gon sounds like himself: calm, wise, and good. Jedi-Princess-Solo has written several fics along this vein; that is, monologues by one character speaking to another character who cannot hear the first. Each one is delightful in its own way. But this one is especially good. So go, read, and enjoy.
* * *
You wonder if I wouldn't have done better.
You think I was a fool on my deathbed, that in my final moments the hysteria and desperation of death's grasp led me to ask you to take him as yours.
But you do not know what I knew then, Obi-Wan.
What I saw as my life drained away into the waiting embrace of the Force.
I was never meant to train him, Padawan.
My destiny was simply to find him.
To find him, and deliver him into the right hands.
Your hands.
Morning Will Come
