Summary
The ‘fresher door opens. Steam billows—smelling of citrus, juniper.
Anakin has never felt more vindicated in his life.

Summary
“I, um…” Anakin waves the envelope idly between them in the air. “I got a letter.”
Obi-Wan observes him quietly for a moment, expression large parts inscrutable. “I take it that’s not a good thing?”
Despite it all, Anakin laughs. It only sounds a touch hysterical, he thinks. To his credit.
“No,” Anakin shakes his head. “It’s, uh… it’s pretty bad, actually.”

Summary
If Anakin were to recount his life by age, it would go exactly as follows: he was born, then he was nine for a minute, then he turned twenty. There was no in between. Not without making his head go all tingly and his senses turn fuzzy.
Digging around in memories only ever prompted fade-to-blacks, and, if it was a particularly sensitive memory—a cut-to-black. Both saw Anakin thrown into the amnesia-inducing depths of void before he could even blink twice.
All the more reason to never think about that cursed planet ever again. He already lost enough time as it was.

Summary
Obi-Wan’s face is registering as little more than swirls of porcelain and copper to Anakin at the moment - the occasional flash of gold - but that last part hardly matters.
He still recognizes the hand holding his; the saber-calloused fingers interwoven so lovingly with his own. It’s enough. Anakin doesn’t need to recognize his eye color during this.
He misses bluish grey. -

Summary
Obi-Wan knows Anakin is special. He wouldn’t have been tasked with training the boy by his Master’s dying breath otherwise. He knows, but he doesn’t know.
His Padawan is alleged to be the Chosen One, much as Obi-Wan never cared for the lofty title. He looks at Anakin and sees a boy; it’s a struggle to see beyond that most days.
Anakin becomes a man. He strides away from Obi-Wan, braid cut—headlong into battle and troops flanked by his side. Obi-Wan watches him go, expecting to see just that: a man.
A vermilion star stares back.

Summary
For the life of him, Anakin just can’t seem to stop whining.
Which is absurd, because he’s never vocal like this. Not even when drunk. It’s only ever Obi-Wan and that stupid cock that does this to him. Yet another unique-to-his-Master thing.
Anakin just wishes there weren't so many of them sometimes.

Summary
He used to be who people were asking for when they said ‘Anakin’. It’d been his life, every day, before time left him standing still, and the universe kept spinning on without him.
Now he was just stuck, frozen in place. Watching life play out with decisions he hadn’t made, and acting the part to not mess it up for anyone else.
Because it did belong to someone else. Maybe even multiple selves.
Just not him.

Summary
They had no way of knowing, really. An impulsive first kiss led to an even more impulsive first time; happy accidents became happier discoveries.
It’s always like this between them now.

Summary
“What headspace are we in right now?” Obi-Wan asked tentatively, tucking an errant curl behind Anakin’s ear.
A simple question. As all needed to be when Anakin was like this, or else he wouldn’t answer.
Anakin wanted to answer—if only he could move his lips. If only they felt like his.
Maybe he’d drifted into the wrong body again. Maybe if he left and came back it would be right this time.
Wishful thinking, really. It was never that simple.

Summary
Obi-Wan was not an alpha, much as his body seemed to be convinced he was. He was an ordinary beta with some, albeit—alpha-like tendencies. Nothing more. It was dealt with and under control.
Then Anakin happened.
