Why this must be read:

Time travel stories, the best ones, rewrite canon in small increments until the large picture crystallizes into an AU. In this fic, personalities remain the same, motives are as before, yet the altered actions of the characters result in this fact: Anakin doesn't Turn. Just how many AUs in Revenge of the Sith are out there may be discovered by typing 'ROTS AU' in fanfictionDOTnet's search engine, but this one deserves a high rank because the little details such as Bandomeer and Guerra (yes, he's in action here) and another very important EU character play pivotal roles in this fic's most satisfying conclusion. Qui-Gon Jinn's less-than-stellar interpersonal communication skills also contribute to Anakin's revisualizing the man's luster in his memories, which is the best part about the story. That, and the ultimate preservation of the Jedi Order.
