In one universe, Anakin Skywalker turns to the dark side and Obi-Wan Kenobi wastes away in the desert dunes of Tatooine. In this universe, Qui-Gon Jinn survives, leading to a series of events that change the course of the universe. Relationships are tested, certain dark moments of Obi-Wan's past come back to haunt him far after his master wakes up, and Anakin looks around him and realizes that he might be more emotionally stable than the rest of his Jedi family. Featuring an emotionally messed up Obi-Wan haunted by Naboo, a newly freed Anakin who is smarter than he looks, a miserable Qui-Gon who just wants to go back in time and redo his relationship with his former Padawan, Grandpa Dooku who stays on the light side, and the entire ensemble of scheming Sith Lords and serene Jedi Masters that follow them. or: How Obi-Wan saves the universe by avoiding a certain Jedi Master, and Qui-Gon learns that you don't realize how much you love someone until you lose them.

Qui-Gon Jinn did not actually die on Naboo, but he still left a plenty of hurt, rash decisions and consequences in his wake, as well as a padawan unprepared for knighthood and adult relationships. Obi-Wan comes into his own without his master, but in a very different way.

He wasn’t stupid, he was just adventurous. Occasionally he’d agree that he was a little bit reckless, but nothing to what Geralt was on a good day, let alone a bad one. It just so happened to be a bad one when whatever Geralt had been trying to destroy decided it was far more interested in Jaskier instead of being repeatedly stabbed, so it rushed him. Geralt claims that Witchers can't find - or be - bonded mates, that they never present a dynamic, that they're infertile and "not even like betas". ...but are they though?
