    Summary

    It’s rather jarring to wake in the Halls of Healing when one does not remember how they came to be there. It’s even more jarring to wake in the Halls of Healing to learn that you have been asleep there for four years, and that during that time, your padawan has left the Order, the galaxy has broken out into war, the Jedi have become war heroes, your padawan has left you, the Sith have returned, the Republic is under attack, and Anakin Skywalker will not return your comm calls.

    After Obi-Wan Kenobi wakes, he has little choice but to move on. There is a war to be fought. There are battles to be won. There is a new Sith lord named Vader who has taken an inexplicable but undeniable interest in him. Untangling the hurt and anger he feels at Anakin’s absence from his life will simply have to wait.

    Salvation sits just out of Junho's reach, his fingertips skimming it. Delusion is far closer, nestled under his ribs, whispering promises he shouldn’t quite believe.

    Anakin dies. Obi-Wan does not bring him back from the dead.

    Someone else does.

    (or: "he came back wrong to you. he came back to me.")

    Summary

    "O how he loves you, darling boy. O how, like always, he invents the monsters underneath the bed to get you to sleep next to him, chest to chest or chest to back, the covers drawn around you in an act of faith against the night."
    - Richard Siken

    Peter is twenty-nine and he loves you. This is dangerous because you are no longer yourself.

    Summary

    There are two hundred twenty-six steps in the staircase leading to the Game Parlour.

    There is a one-way lift passing three floors between 29's room and the Front Man's chambers.

    Some days it feels like an impassable distance.
