    Summary

    Obi-Wan is 34 years old when he meets Anakin, an attractive man 16 years his junior with dreams of being an architect. They keep seeing each other: dinner, then movie, then sex. Obi-Wan falls in love but can't bring himself to admit it. Wants to be with Anakin, but can't square that with his public image as a respectable English professor. For a year, he keeps Anakin in the middle-distance.

    Then Anakin disappears. A letter arrives telling him goodbye.

    Or, a strangers-to-lovers-to-strangers-to-lovers story about falling apart, healing, and coming back together again.

    Mind the tags. TWs for attempted suicide, extensive suicide discussion, mental health issues, hospitalization, and all that entails.

    Summary

    General in his adoptive father's army, successful conqueror and natural leader, Anakin Skywalker of House Lars knew as the years went by that he was increasingly overshadowing his elder brother Owen, the legitimate heir to the royal family, and that his days were numbered. He knew that with his coming of age would come marriage proposals for him and that Cliegg would take the opportunity to get rid of him, just... he just never thought it was to the point of being engaged before even celebrating his twenty-first birthday.

    And now he was married, sold actually, to a man he had once liked and admired. Those feelings were long gone now, and all King Kenobi awakened in him was disgust and rage. He had played his cards close to his chest, Anakin had been fooled by a pleasant facade back when he did not know any better.

    One thing was certain, Anakin would not be fooled again.

    Summary

    Anakin likes being useful. Anakin wants to be useful. Obi-Wan will give him exactly what he wants; he’ll use Anakin until the boy has nothing left to give.

    or,

    Obi-Wan is rich, bored, and married, with a pool that needs tending to. Among other things.

    Summary

    The war is over, and Anakin has everything he's ever wanted: Padmé is alive, and they have two beautiful children he adores. He doesn't have to follow the Jedi Code; he's not a Jedi anymore. He should be happy. Everything is fine.

    The fact that he hasn't seen Obi-Wan in eight months and four days shouldn't matter.

    Summary

    Anakin focused on playing it up, lower lip trembling, peering through his lashes at the new threat in the room. “T-thanks,” he said, taking the offered hand all while running a complex algorithm that basically boiled down to: how the fuck do I get out of here in one piece? Did he make a run for it? Knock the bastard out? Play it coy?

    Those calculations died when he saw the blood.

    The man glanced down at himself with mild interest. “Ah, yes. Unsightly, isn’t it?”

    "Not the word I’d use,” Anakin deadpanned, shocked into dropping the scared and helpless act.

    “No, perhaps not,” agreed the stranger, whose grayish-blue eyes lit up.
