Summary
"Anakin, may I have a moment?"
"Yeah—uh, sure," Anakin said. He knew he should stick around to network with the cast and crew—Padmé seemed nice in a terrifyingly intelligent way—but his car keys were already in his sweaty, nervous grip. "What’s up, Mr. Keno—I mean, Obi-Wan?"
"I’d like to discuss some of our scenes together, if you have the time." Obi-Wan checked his watch. "Over dinner, maybe, considering the hour?"
Wow. That sounded an awful lot like a date, if you happened to be delusional.

Summary
The smart thing to do would be for Anakin to cut his losses, save himself the embarrassment, and break up with Obi-Wan now, before they even had a chance to get started. Beat the Christmas rush, as it were.
But then, Anakin had never been particularly smart when it came to matters of the heart. His broken marriage was evidence enough of that. “I still owe you that dinner,” he said.
Anakin Skywalker, twenty-five-year-old PhD candidate and recent divorcé, is putting himself through school by TAing a course for new master’s degree applicants. His neediest student is Obi-Wan Kenobi - sixteen years his senior, also recently divorced, and a little miffed at having to ask someone barely older than his nephew for help uploading a PDF.
At least, that’s how it starts.

Summary
There’s no telling what Anakin looks like right now. Taller than Obi-Wan but not as tall as Qui-Gon. Dressed in clothes he’s never owned in any of his lives. Neat, basic earth-colored tunics and trousers that don’t feel awful on. Calling one of them by their formal title. Coming up to them and crying, projecting a messiness so potent in the Force he knows they can both read every bit of it. Even if they don’t understand.
“Oh,” Obi-Wan says, voice as clear as a bell. He smiles again, smaller this time, and Anakin wants to reach out and hold him, wants to reach out and wrap both hands around his godsdamned throat. “It’s you.”
*
Or, in the space between one breath and another, Darth Vader slips into the Force redeemed by the light of his son and opens his eyes again as Anakin Skywalker, forty or so years in the past.

Summary
Saying I deserve it is too melodramatic for him to admit. Obi-Wan doesn’t know if he deserves it. Obi-Wan doesn’t know anything.
