Why this must be read:
This fic is a missing moment in A New Hope, written by an author who has been recced numerous times by this comm. Her vignette about Obi-Wan Kenobi comforting Luke Skywalker after the holocaust at the Lars' farm in a more physical way than many could imagine is tenderly depicted. Obi-Wan may be Ben now, but he had loved his Anakin in all possible ways and when Anakin's son yearns to forget his grief in a universal way of losing oneself, Ben cannot deny him. The past comes back to haunt Ben as Anakin's and Obi-Wan's echoed relationship rings true in a particularly effective literary device near the end. One other plus: Luke here is a young man from a rural background with plenty of hours spent observing Nature's Glories (read: the birds and the banthas) so he is not the wide-eyed innocent that many fics have him be. I'd rec this story as an example of a writer daring canon to be other than what was written here, and as one commenter noted, it explains why Luke mourns so deeply a person he had known less than a week. This is a bittersweet tale and despite its rating, all the Jedi-on-future-Jedi action isn't what might run through one's mind when reading the pairing. It really isn't.
