Summary: Obi-Wan's term on the Council and Clone Wars experiences, mostly. Slash.

 

A is for Ambition

Obi-Wan Kenobi entertained ambitions, as did any being. He wanted a Council seat. With the war's progression, Council members' long-term tenure was sadly no longer so assured. He had begun to think of himself as tainted: from Dooku to Qui-Gon to himself at Melida/Daan, there existed an undeniable leaning to unhappy rebellion. Although at times he treasured his Melida/Daan memories, the issues involved seemed so very far away now that he didn't even know how he could explain himself to Anakin. He wanted to set a good example for the young man, so he aspired to the Council, taint or no.

N is for Nightly

Anakin's nightly tutoring sessions in Jedi history Obi-Wan reminisced over now and then, but particularly after he visited the creche.

Looking over the cribs, playpools, and exercise trees for the occasional arboreal youngling, he could not help but wonder how Anakin's personality would have developed if Master Ali-Anann had been available to push Anakin about in a stroller or teach him to swim. Obi-Wan's storytelling and perhaps even his negotiating skills had been honed by night after night of having Anakin perched on his knee, absorbing the tales with his bright mind. Certainly Master Ali-Anann would never negotiate bedtimes.
