Summary
He took in his Padawan’s face one final time, and for a brief moment, he saw the brash visage of the teenage boy he had taken in all those years ago. Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. The training bond that they shared was unraveling, but he could still sense Obi-Wan’s disbelief and horror.
“It’s too late for me”
“No, no!” Came the anguished wail.
And indeed, it was too late. He wished with all of his heart that he could say more, but he needed Obi-Wan to focus. Resignedly, he put his feelings aside and gave his apprentice one final mandate.
or
Qui-Gon Jinn reflects on his relationship with his apprentice as he dies. Many things are left unsaid, but the life of a Jedi has always meant sacrifice.

Summary
Master Windu’s pleased nod warmed the Force. “Exactly. The Order doesn’t need one Knight and a half, Kenobi. In twelve, fifteen years’ time, we’ll need a full Knight and a full Master. For this to happen, you have to become a Knight first. You owe it to the Order, to Skywalker, and to yourself. And also, if I may, to Qui-Gon’s memory.”
Obi-Wan took a long breath.
“What do I have to do, Master?”One year into Anakin's apprenticeship, Obi-Wan is offered a chance at the path not taken. After a firefight with Pykes, insurance fraud and a session of morning meditation, Obi-Wan finds his answer.
For Jedi June 2026. Prompt: a choice not taken

Summary
Anakin’s breath hitched. “I don’t want them to call me that.” The syllables were strung together in that Huttese accent he hadn’t managed to drop yet.
Obi-wan blinked in confusion. He quickly shielded it from the boy. “Call you what?”
Anakin huffed in exasperation. “Padawan,” he snapped.
