    Summary

    He moved again, and this time Anakin was ready, but ready wasn’t enough. The man was fast, impossibly fast, and before Anakin could swing his saber, a cold hand clamped over his wrist and squeezed. The saber clattered to the ground. Another hand grabbed his jaw, forcing his head back, and the man leaned in close—close enough that Anakin could see the veins of black ink trailing up his neck, could smell the iron-and-sweetness of his breath.

    Those golden eyes dropped to Anakin’s throat, where his pulse was hammering like a trapped bird. The man’s smile widened, revealing the sharp points of his fangs.

    “Now, now,” he murmured, his thumb stroking along Anakin’s jaw in a gesture that was almost tender. “Let’s not be hasty. I’ve been asleep for a very long time, and you’re the first lovely thing I’ve seen in millennia. Surely we can come to some sort of…” He tilted his head, considering. “...Arrangement.”

    Anakin’s heart was pounding so hard he could barely think. “What kind of arrangement?”

    Summary

    “Don’t.” Anakin held up a hand, stepping back. “Don’t give me that look. Don’t pretend like you understand what that was like for me. You don’t. You can’t. Because you weren’t the one left behind.”

    The words were possibly too heavy and accusatory, but Anakin didn’t care.

    There was something to be said about the shift in perspective when you felt your best friend’s heart stop beneath your hands, when he died in your arms and then came back from the dead acting like your heart hadn’t stopped too. Like your lives weren’t intertwined since the moment you shook hands in the Jedi Temple, like you wouldn’t lose a limb for him. Like you hadn’t already.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan studied the furious young man before him, the teacup trembling slightly in Anakin’s grip. The porcelain would likely shatter if he held it much longer.

    “Lord Palpatine does not offer choices,” Obi-Wan said quietly. “He offers verdicts. You know this as well as I do.”

    Anakin’s jaw tightened. “So you expect me to be grateful that he offered me to you instead of someone worse?”

    “No.” Obi-Wan held his gaze. “I expect you to be realistic.”

    Summary

    He thought of the bond between them. The connection that hummed in his chest, warm and constant. The way Obi-Wan’s presence soothed him, even in the darkest moments. The way he’d always felt whole when they were together.

    And the way Obi-Wan had never said a word about it. Had never acknowledged it. Had never—

    He doesn’t feel it, Anakin thought, and the words curdled in his mind. The bond is just… the vestiges of training. Just a master-apprentice thing. He doesn’t feel what I feel.

    He had always known that, but somehow, it hurt more now.
