   And yet the moment he’d laid eyes on Anakin, the Force had screamed.

   Mine!

   By all seven sith hells, it is perfektion!
   My black heart is crying for more, it hurts so good 🖤

   Please do this with Dooku and Qui-Gon too.
   And maybe Xanatos and Qui-Gon, but where the Master kills the apprentice.

      Thank you so much!!

      I shall try my best to deliver dooku and qui-gon. Unfortunately I don't know nearly enough about xanatos to make that one work. I'll see if I have an idea worth doing some research. If you have a more specific prompt please share, it might push me in the right direction

      As for master killing the apprentice, well, there's definitely one of those in the works.

         You are very welcome 🖤

         I will certainly tell you if I think about others.

         I am also a bit scared (and curious) of who the Master killing the apprentice might be.

         Ohhh... Maybe Quinlan and Ayla. 👀

         Also Luke and Leia, but I don't know who their master should be...

            Oooh, quinlan and Aayla would be fascinating, though I'm not sure where to fit them in, since I'm trying to stick to the rule of 2. Actually, to write the Dooku and Qui-Gon one I had to bend it a bit, so I first have to jump one generation back so it makes sense. I am working on it tho.

             

            And I have one with luke written, I'll probably post it toda knowing my self control. I have no clue what to do with leia though. We'll see.

   Oooohhhh, I really like this one a lot! The idea that, in this Sith AU, Obi-Wan was serving Qui-Gon until he surprised him during some version of the events on Naboo and killed him...but not just because that's what Sith do, or because he was angry about being potentially replaced (an overdone Sithly motif in canon spinoff, IMHO), but because he wants Anakin...or maybe the Force wants him to want Anakin. Naturally I love the possessiveness, and all the creepy grooming and inappropriate romantic feelings this is eventually going to imply. I appreciate the subtlety in the way you conveyed the information about what happened in this 'verse, versus the blatant desire of "Mine!" (Which also, BTW, makes this drabble very Anakin-centric by implication, which feels Very You. X-D ) But anyways, yeah, you packed a lot of meaning into 100 words--very, very nice. :-D

      Thank you so much!!

      killed him...but not just because that's what Sith do, or because he was angry about being potentially replaced (an overdone Sithly motif in canon spinoff, IMHO),

      It's also, imo, an overdone motif in tpm era Obi-Wan fanon. People sometimes interpret him as utterly heartbroken that Qui-Gon wants to replace him, whereas I see him as ready to move on. But given how long sith aprenticeships are, and that replacement usually entails death, I did feel free to play that up. But mostly, this came about because I couldn't see Obi-Wan murdering his master in the typical powerhungry, vengeful etc sith manner. He's too patient a person for that. He would not have killed his master until he a) knew absolutely everything there was to know and b) was completely certain he would win. So...

      because he wants Anakin...or maybe the Force wants him to want Anakin.

      The force wanting them together is such a fascinating thing to me, whether romantic or not, whether fanon, canon, or meta. Because yeah, fate needed them together, because that was the story of the OT. But also, in universe, so many little coincidences led to their meeting. If you look through a sentient!force perspective, it essentially killed 2 people, qui gon and maul to get obi-wan to train anakin. And then, of course, the possibilities in fanfic are endless. So this was absolutely intended to read as the will of the force... but, the wording is all Obi-Wan's interpretation. I figured you'd like the creepy subtext lol, and the "mine!" especially was meant to tie into that whole ownership/freedom thing from the first one. (and yeah, making it all about anakin, lol)

      But anyways, yeah, you packed a lot of meaning into 100 words--very, very nice. :-D

      Thank you so much! This was the most fun drabble I've written so far because first try I ended up with 77 words, so I could expand on the story in the edit rather than having to trim. Setting it in such a recognizable point in canon definitely helped.
