Is there, somewhere, a Kenobi-centric fic where he isn't a fuckin' pussy?

I searched everywhere, but wherever I go, I only seem to find fic where the authors depict him as if we were in one of these HP fanfic where harry get raped by half the cast and then is conforted/fall in love by/with the males of the other half.
:rofl: :rofl:

Truth. Though over-sensitivity is the problem with most Prequel fanfics in general. Even the action fics are boiled in Angst/Hurt/Comfort.
Man, there is this one badass fic I keep looking for but can never find. Premise is that Qui-Gon survives and takes Anakin as his padawan while Obi-Wan goes off as a Knight, still feeling betrayed by Qui-Gon. Ends up as some awesome Jedi doing missions for the council that looks like something out of Mission Impossible. The first chapter involves him rescuing a Senator from a ton of mercenaries, slicing them up before calling in a gunship rescue.
<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/471264/1/An_Uncertain_Path' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>An Uncertain Path</a>

I think this is the fic that you're remembering.
Which quickly went into angst territory. I've read this one and the sequel. Obi Wan isn't a huge badass; he just does impossible missions to get away from the pain of being abandoned by Qui Gon. He does have some awesome moments, but nowhere near the amount A Curious Stranger implied he does.

Well, I only had the chance to read the first 3 chapters or so before I lost track of it. Sad to hear that's the path it's gone down.

Entertaining. I like his (her?) versions of Luke and Leia.
 
Can someone tell me exactly whats going on with that Ten Facts AU? Is it Padme and Anakin meet earlier than their ten year separation, get busy, and Padme gets pregnant with Leia. At the start of the Clone Wars, they get married and Luke comes along at the end as the Empire rises.

(3) Master Kenobi might be Luke's favourite teacher if he weren't so strange.

The Temple has given him an entire new measure of 'strange,' but Master Kenobi - ordinary, blue-eyed, human Master Kenobi - hits the far end of it.

He's the only one who seems to pay much attention to Luke in the beginning, when everybody is busy gaping at Father. He makes sure Luke is settling in properly. When Luke loses his temper - less often than the others, but even he does sometimes - Master Kenobi is the only one who asks to hear his side of the story. And even now, he'll take him aside and ask about his studies, or his hobbies, or if there's anything he'd like to do when he's a proper Jedi.
"Save the galaxy," says Luke flippantly.

Master Kenobi smiles. "I think you already have."
*snicker*

I like this fic's style. I second the recommendation.

Any where Luke learns to use the force on Tatooine, when he was young? Kenobi teaching him is not a necessity.

Actually, a question: Someone in the past had to have discovered what the force could do. WOuld it be possible for someone to come to realizations like this independently?

An Anakin Skywalker fic that ISN'T incredibly angsty or "romantic"? DO WANT!

I recommend <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5026493/1/Masquerade' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Masquerade.</a> Return of the Jedi ended differently. VERY differently. Palpatine survived. Vader did not. Luke is captured. And a mystery man wakes up. No name, no life, now dead in two lives. Seriously, I think you should read this. Vader is hilariously sarcastic and biting in his wit, and he is AWESOME.
 
I don't know if I'm recommending this, or what, but here it is:
<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6770614/1/A_Small_Mercy' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>A Small Mercy</a>
It's Ahsoka/Anakin/Padme, RotS.

Just a heads-up: <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7599234/1/Bad_Boys_JEDI_Style' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Bad Boys, JEDI Style</a> has been re-uploaded on ffnet.

I have no idea if this is the original author, or if someone archived it and uploaded it without permission, but it's there.

Thought I'd let people know, if there was anyone that - like me - didn't get a chance to read it before it was taken down previously.

Blank101 the author of what is imho the best Star Wars fanfics in the form of the Son of Suns trilogy has begun the release of the sequel to Empire's Son.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11540131/1/Empire-s-Son-II
Sequel to Empire's Son. As Palpatine's Empire crumbles, Luke retreats to a grim self-imposed anonymity in the galaxy's Rim planets. But he cannot outrun his past, and Imperials and Rebels alike are searching for the last Sith, their motives very different. .

The story is complete with chapter releases every two weeks.

ain't no life to live like you're on the run by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel

Summary: It doesn’t take Anakin all that long to work out that he’s exchanged one form of slavery for another.

(Or, Anakin never forgets who he is and where he came from, and that influences his choices in life.)

Didn't realize this topic was a thing, so crostposting from general movie recs.

AU. After the destruction of the Death Star, Vader begins a crusade to find the boy responsible for it, the pilot by the name of Luke Skywalker. However, he was missing one critical piece of the puzzle; Luke was not actually a boy. Fem!Luke
Rated: Fiction K+ - English - Drama/Family - Luke S., Darth Vader - Words: 8,985 - Reviews: 47 - Favs: 267 - Follows: 66 - Published: Apr 16, 2014 - Status: Complete - id: 10274625

In which everyone loses their shit in the most hilarious way possible.
 
I read one once where Dooku and Qui-Gon found him while he was around ten and killed Plagueis. Palps ended up raised by the Order, and given the name Ulic after Ulic Qel Droma, because no one knew what his actual name was and he wasn't sharing. Qui-Gon was his master, but Dooku was much more supportive because Dooku. Qui-Gon was a lot more leery of the whole "raised by the Sith" thing.

Eventually, he sorta ended up acknowledging that the Jedi way had power that the Sith did not, but contrariwise so did the Sith way. Yoda ended up dying on Korriban after going in with him on a whole Vision Quest. It was fairly heavily intimated that the boy might end up a Sith in name, but would probably be closer to a Je'daii than anyone in the last few thousand years.

I'm not up on the lingo; what's the difference betwee a Jedi and a Je'daii?
 
Eh, it's a thing that came about around the end of the old EU. The Je'daii were the precursors to modern force wielders. They were founded in the Tython System, and existed their in a state of balance between Light and Dark for somewhere on the order of fourteen thousand years. Their entire philosophy was somewhat anathema to their successor orders, as it said that too much of either side of the Force was a bad thing. If you drew too heavily from the Light or the Dark you got sent off to a hermitage to one of Tython's moons, Ashla and Bogan.

Their order ended when Tython was discovered by the Rakatan Infinite Empire and the Force Wars of Tython began. The Rakatas extreme exploitation of the Dark Side and the abuses it lead on both sides scarred the Je'daii so much that it caused them to turn away from the Dark Side completely and largely dissolve as an order.

They were succeeded by the Jedi, which was, itself, founded by former Je'daii.
