Big One Path Update
Okay, before I forget. I will be going away on April 16. Contractors will be fixing my bathroom, FINALLY. I've only been trying to get this taken care of since July. Of course it comes at a typically inconvenient time. But I'll try to do some fic writing while I'm gone and transfer everything back to my PC when I get home. They're saying it will be between 2-5 days to get everything done, so HOPEFULLY, I'll be back by the 18th. I don't have a hard copy of RotS, so I'm not sure what exactly I'll be able to do on One Path while I'm gone. I'll see if I can put the ebook on my laptop or something, but I won't have internet access to check the script. I might end up writing a bunch of stuff out of order that I don't need scripts for, or POSSIBLY I'll be able to write a Games fic. I know I've kept the SG readers waiting there. I'm sorry it seems to have stalled out; I just have like no ability to write in Stargate fandom at the moment. My last Games update was totally forced. I felt like Daniel and Vala were completely off the whole time.
Anyway, on to One Path. There is an update linked below. I have a lot to say about this chapter so I'll
First, I'll say that questions about the existence/possible identity of Luke and Leia will not be addressed here.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aruna7 and I will not be answering those questions on the comm or over IM. Sorry, I know you guys are curious, but only my betas and those who were involved in planning the series are going to know how that gets worked out. All I can say now is, remember what I said in my intro to the series.
That said, this chapter is probably my favorite of the series, even above the comlink thing, the dance scene, and Geonosis. Little Ani is a joy to write, and I had a ton of fun with him and Qui-Gon. I always enjoy getting to write Yoda, though Yoda-speak does make my brain explode trying to figure out how much backwards syntax is too much. The chapter is quite long, about double the typical length, and I considered breaking it up the way I usually have when they run this long, but I didn't want to do that because it seemed fitting that it stayed from Qui-Gon's POV as we set the stage for the end of the war. So, I hope no one will mind the long read.
Little Ani has brought the enjoyment back to the series for me. It was getting to be a drag knowing that RotS is coming around the corner, knowing that all heck is about to break loose in the galaxy. When I wrote Idyll's End and Destiny's Way, I pretty much cried throughout both chapters, even the fluffy part and the happy part at the end of Destiny's Way. Yes, I do get that emotionally involved in my fanfiction. It's the same to me as my original work. Anyway, I was like, "You know, I really don't even want to do this. I just want to leave them on their honeymoon." Originally, the plan was to jump straight from Destiny's Way to the opening of RotS, but it seemed like too big of a time leap and I was really down about starting the last part of the prequel section anyway. Friday night, (I think about 2AM) I told Aruna, "Gosh, I just want to write ONE happy thing before we have to do this..." so Through Another's Eyes was meant to be a short humor piece from Qui-Gon's perspective. It took on a life of it's own and I'm glad it did.
There are both serious and funny elements in it. I enjoyed getting to explore Qui-Gon's thoughts about the choices that his Padawan made, and I totally love his relationship with little Ani. My own granparents are a huge influence in my life. They taught me pretty much everything I consider important, and although I think we have a somewhat different take on our faith, I know that I would never have chosen to become a Christian as an adult without the benefit of the things they both taught and showed me as a kid. I have to honestly say that, without even talking about how big a part they have played in my faith walk, my Grandma and Grandpa have taught me everything in life that I value most. Seeing Qui-Gon in that role, even as a Force Ghost was totally awesome for me as a writer. I didn't think that I would have an opportunity to do that in One Path at all, although given the recent icon post I made, I think it's safe to say that we'd planned an OFFICIAL Grandpa role for Qui-Gon in The Force of Your Faith.
I did some reading last night to prep for the RotS chapters, and I think our ideas for Bail's role have solidified as well. One of the things we said from the outset was that we wanted to see more development for Bail than the movies allowed for. He's almost as much a father figure to me as Qui-Gon, so that makes me excited too.
We made a point in this series to stay as close to cannon as possible. We hope to be able to continue that despite the fact that little Ani's existence will change things in ways that, honestly, I'm not sure I even know yet. It will be a challenge for me as a writer and a fan, especially when we delve into the OT and start exploring the consequences of his life on Obi Wan's later decisions. Overall, I'm excited about seeing where One Path will lead us, and I hope that everyone continues to enjoy the road not taken.

Title: Through Another's Eyes
Author: Lionchilde
Summary: Ani knew with the uncanny empathy of a Force sensitive child that his Uncle Anakin loved Padme--that he was as fiercely determined to protect her as the boy himself was. He didn't realize the implications of those feelings, of course. His understanding was entirely innocent, and he loved his uncle all the more because of it.
Rating: PG
