A Gift From The Gods

Summary:

Set shortly after the Battle Of Sundari on Mandalore, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is tasked by the Council to deliver information to General Grievous, Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army, that may be of great personal interest, but will it be enough to turn the tide of the war?

Then, when Grievous' survival depends on Obi-Wan, the two learn more about each other than either ever thought possible.

These revelations set them on a journey that no-one expected, and only the Gods could have foreseen.

Notes - 04/10/2020
First of all I just want to say thank you for all the support this fic has already received. This is my first ever real fanfiction and I'm totally overwhelmed already by the wonderful responses it had gained. And I also want to say a huge thank you to my amazing beta who has gone above and beyond proofing, fact checking and generally tidying the edges of this story. But no thank you to my idiot brother who has been insisting I title this work 'It's Obivious, you're the Obi-Wan for me – A Star Wars story'. *insert eye roll*

This will be a very long I hope providing Obi-Wan and Grievous both behave themselves as I write, they are constantly doing their own thing and saying what they please.

The length of the chapters do start off quite short but they are getting longer as the story picks up. I generally try to stay quite a few chapters ahead of what has been published so even if/when I do get hit by writer's block I'll still be able to update regularly. I can't promise exactly when I will be able to update but I promise I will not at any point abandon this fic. I can't stand leaving things half finished.

I am English so my writing will be also. I also want to add that the rating and tags will change and be updated as this story progresses. It is and will be an Obi-Wan/Grievous story, and will become more mature and explicit when the time is right.

I welcome conversation, questions and suggestions. I hope you all enjoy!

Hi everyone. I just want to apologise for the lack of updates and reassure please that this fic' has not and WILL NOT be dropped. I've been really sick and my fabulous Beta has been busy with other things. Chapters soon I promise. Thank you!

Chapter Text


Prologue

 He who surrenders hope, surrenders life.



The man who knelt before the Gods was so broken They could hear his pain calling out to Them more loudly and clearly than his prayers and pleas.


The Brother watched quietly for some time and then He turned away. The small wants of mortals were no concern of His and nor were their wishes and whims something for Him to grant.


The Sister reached beseechingly for the Brother's arm, for She had a gentle soul and to see the man's heartbreak and suffering was as painful to Her as if it were Her own.


The Brother shook His head. Gods They were but They had no power to change the past. Thousands had asked it before this man and thousands after him would do the same. It was only one mortal life after all.


The Brother left the Sister, who stayed to watch the man's pain alone. So saddened for this mortal was She that She looked deep into his future and Her sorrow for the heartbroken man grew and grew. So much suffering and pain was too much for one man to bear.


She reached further into the man's future and, unhappy with what She saw there, She changed it.


She couldn't give the man back the love he begged for now but, one day, She could give him a new one.
