Inhaling Stars (Rewrite)
Hello, all! If you’re new here, welcome! If you’re returning, welcome back! For those of you who don’t know, this is a rewrite of my former Obi-Wan/OC fic, Inhaling Stars. I posted a while back that I would be reuploading this story because I wasn’t happy with my first writing of it. My writing has grown since I wrote the old version of this story, and I didn’t feel like I was capturing Obi-Wan’s character well enough. I also felt like my first version of this story was not slow-burn enough.
Side note—I know there’s an accent over the e in Padme’s name, but I have to manually go and put in the accent every time and I’m not doing that so just pretend it’s there lmao. I tried adding it to the dictionary, but for some reason, my laptop won’t save the changes. Maybe I’ll figure it out and can fix it, but for now, just pretend the little accent is there. (Sorry Padme you deserve better!!!)
I’ve changed a few things with this version as well. (You don’t need to have read the first version of this story to understand). Vespera’s background has been changed, for example. Not all of it, but some of her history. Some other changes will be revealed as the story progresses, but others—like the setting—I will clarify here. In the original version, the events took place after Season 6 of The Clone Wars series. Since we are getting Season 7 (AHHHHH!!!), and because I just re-watched the whole series, this new version is taking place during all seasons of the series. You don’t really need to have watched the show to get what’s going on, because I don’t focus too heavily on specific episodes. For instance, this first chapter takes place just after the “Destroy Malevolence” arc. I’ll try to remember to clarify what season we’re in and whatnot as the story progresses, but for the most part, the events of this story take place in between episodes or in the background of episodes. I might bring in Season 7 a little bit more, though.
Also, because this does take place during The Clone Wars series, there will be some Obitine going on. HOWEVER, this is ultimately an Obi-Wan/OC fic. If you’re here for Obitine, I’m sorry, but this is not a fix-it fic.
One more thing: This story will progress until about halfway through the events of Revenge of the Sith. Then I will write two different sequels—one will adhere closely with the canon ending of ROTS, and the other will be canon divergent/alternate universe. (I mean, with an OC, you’re kinda gonna get into canon divergent/au territory anyway, but I digress).
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this story. It’s very near and dear to my heart, and I wanted to do these characters justice, which is why I’m doing a complete rewrite. Please remember to leave feedback, and enjoy! <3
