    Summary

    "All because of you, I believe in angels.
    Not the kind with wings, no, not the kind with halos,
    The kind that bring you home when home becomes a strange place.
    I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out."

    Summary

    “I will find you,” Obi-Wan vows, feeling the promise etching into the deepest parts of his soul, squeezing that hand tight enough to have felt their bones grind if either of them were truly flesh in this moment, rather than projections of themselves inside the Force. “I swear it, Anakin, I will find you. I’ll come for you.”

    Anakin finally lifts his head. His eyes are dull and resigned. He doesn’t believe him.

    Nearly five years into his self-imposed mission (exile) on Tatooine after the rise of the Empire, Obi-Wan Kenobi experiences his first Force Vision in decades. He learns that the boy he trained and raised and loved did not betray him and his people. He learns that the creature he dueled on Mustafar was not his former padawan, but some sort of Sith trickery. He learns that on that fateful day, he killed neither his son nor the monster wearing his face.

    He learns that the real Anakin is trapped somewhere, alone and afraid, and has given up hope of being rescued.

     

    What is he going to do about it?

    Summary

    It was two years on from returning Leia to her adoptive parents on Alderaan, and it wasn't that Obi-Wan didn't think he deserved to be haunted by his former Padawan; he knew he very much did. But at least all his previous visions had had the decency to stay outside. And silent.

    Now Obi-Wan has an apparition of Darth Vader showing up in his home on Tatooine, standing over him in his kitchen, and sitting down with him at mealtimes. And, to make matters worse, he keeps saying the oddest things.

    Things like, "I'm sorry," and "I killed Emperor Palpatine," and "I handed the Imperial government over to Bail Organa in exchange for your address."

    Worst of all: "I love you, Obi-Wan."

    Crazy old wizard, indeed.

    Summary

    “Time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again.”


    Verso has seen this game played over and over again. He's tired. So if he has to spill a little blood to make sure he no longer has to see death everywhere he turns, then he's more than willing to do so.
    It changes nothing, yet everything all at once.

    or,

    Five times Verso dies for a member of Expedition 33, and one time, they show him he doesn't have to.
