Unwelcome Houseguest by Syntyche (K)

Hello, my name is pronker and I'm pleased to drive the van once more. No theme this time, just stories in all genres, all lengths and ranges of canon from G-canon to C-canon. So, off we go for a Sunday drive in the van, first stop a humorous story in honor of the day.

Fandom: STAR WARS
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker, Shmi Skywalker
Length: 22154 words
Author on LJ: I don't think there is one.
Author Website: FFN profile
Why this must be read:

Many are the Alternate Universe stories in which Qui-Gon Jinn survives being impaled: some in which he evades the Dark Lord, some in which Obi-Wan gets the shaft instead, and others in which Maul and Jinn sit down to hash out their differences without fighting. This story has none of those. Instead, it is a hilarious take on what would happen if events conspired to make the Theed generator room not such a tragic place, after all, and if such events led little Anakin to come live with Jinn and Kenobi, in the weeks before Kenobi must face his Trials, with all the arduous studies that lead up to them. Which would go a lot smoother with as little interference from kids younglings as possible. See Kenobi make party invitations with glitter, endure Jinn's flirting with Shmi, and flail in his own self-doubt. For an April Fool's Day tale, there is none better.
