Imber [Latin: rain, storm] by yenneffer (PG-13)
Hello everyone, I'm ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sandystarr88and I'll be sharing some of my favorite Star Wars stories with you this month. Fandom-wise I'm a Prequel fan in general (and an Anakin/Obi-Wan fan in particular), so my recs are going to mostly focus on those areas with some het, gen, and Original Trilogy-era fics thrown in for good measure.
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Gen; Anakin Skywalker
Length: 651

Why this must be read:
Jabiim, Jabiim, Jabiim; if you're not familiar with the EU that came out between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith then all you really need to know about Jabiim is that it was bad, the Republic got their asses handed to them and it was probably one of the lowest points of the entire Clone Wars. The amount of dead Jedi at the end of the battle could easily equate the battle to more of a massacre; Anakin was one of the few that survived Jabiim, and it was believed at the time that Obi-Wan was among the dead.
Anakin was still a Padawan when these events took place, andyenneffer was absolutely perfect in her portrayal of someone who is still so young, and who has to lock away his grief in order to fight on. The author's prose was so poetic, and haunting; the whole fic hit me like a punch in the gut.
It rained. It rained. And it rained.
Never ending wetness, clothes drenched in sweat and muddy water, cold drops dipping from his short hair on his face, from the treacherous Padawan braid onto his back, under his tunics-
(and he never was more cold in his whole life and he wanted to scream, rage at the disgusting, howling winds)-
He never wanted to see the rain in his life again.
