1	A series written by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3380015/ ruth baulding]] on FanFiction.net, this serves as an AlternateUniverse version of the ''Literature/JediApprentice'' series. Featuring loads of CharacterDevelopment and plenty of combat, both of the lightsaber and [[SnarkToSnarkCombat snark]] kind, they provide an intriguing possible view into another universe from the beginning of Obi-Wan’s apprenticeship to the [[Film/ThePhantomMenace early days of the prequel trilogy]].

29
30	* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9238842/1/Because-I-Said-So Because I Said So]]: An early story set just a couple of months after Lineage I, during which Obi-Wan goes on his first official mission, and learns obedience.

34
35	!!''Lineage'' and ''Legacy'' contain examples of the following tropes:
36	* AbortedArc: Several. Aside from the obvious one in Legacy VI, Dooku's growing friendship with Palpatine and Zan Arbor's aims are cut off.
37	* AbsentMindedProfessor: Master Agrion Pertha, the Temple's resident botanist and a friend of Qui-Gon's.
38	* TheAce: Obi-Wan. MasterSwordsman, expert pilot ([[RunningGag who doesn't like to fly]]), wise scholar, and great diplomat.
39	* AcePilot: Garen Muln is very much this, as is Anakin. While Obi-Wan professes to hate flying, he's fairly good at it.
40	** Saesee Tinn appears in Legacy III, and lives up to his reputation as this.
41	* AlternateUniverse: The basis of the story.
42	* BatmanGambit: The Council knows that Qui-Gon ought to take a Padawan, but he himself doesn't want to. So what does the Council do? [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Explicitly forbid him to take a Padawan]]. It works like a charm.
43	** In Lineage V, Dooku needs to know more about [[spoiler: Darth Maul and his Master]], so he uses a torture session to cover slipping a tracking device into the Zabrak's arm, then allows him to escape.
44	* BattleInTheRain: Obi-Wan engages in one during Legacy, against a dozen tanks at once. He wins.
45	* BoisterousBruiser: Feld Spruu, always laughing and cheerful, as well as a swordsman who can give Obi-Wan serious competition in the dojo.
46	* CloseKnitCommunity: The Jedi Temple seems to be one.
47	* CombatParkour: The lightsaber form Ataru. Dooku and Adi Gallia look down on it for this.
48	* CulturedBadass: Dooku and Obi-Wan bond over being this. While Yoda could be an example of this, he enjoys teasing them, feeling that the true measure of a person is on the inside, not their clothes or tea ceremony.
49	* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much everyone, but Obi-Wan takes the cake.
50	* DarkerAndEdgier: The first five stories were fairly light, though they had their darker moments. Lineage VI contains a fairly brutal scene of [[spoiler: Obi-Wan being whipped by Qui-Gon]] (ItMakesSenseInContext), Lineage VII has [[spoiler: Siri dealing with the aftereffects of rape]], Lineage VIII takes a brutal look at the "justice" system of the Republic, and Lineage IX through XI get steadily darker, before the tone picks up towards the end of Lineage XI.
51	* EccentricMentor: Aside from Masters Jinn and Yoda, Master Pertha is an AbsentMindedProfessor, yet one very knowledgeable in regards to botany. And, it's heavily implied, one who's nearly as much of a maverick as Qui-Gon.
52	* ExactWords: Obi-Wan uses this in Lineage I to fool Qui-Gon. Both he and Qui-Gon often use this trope to deal with {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}s.
53	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Obi-Wan is very interested in the Teth dynasty throughout all of the series, and then in Legacy VI, it turns out that it still exists.
54	** Dooku's growing relationship with Palpatine is obviously meant to be this, but it ends up being an AbortedArc.
55	* ForWantOfANail: Due to his experiences on [[spoiler: Melida-Daan, Obi-Wan is Knighted]] five years early. This also leads to him meeting [[spoiler: Anakin]] about a year early, as well.
56	* TheGhost: Chancellor Valorum.
57	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Dooku says that this is what happened to [[spoiler: Sifo-Dyas]]. [[{{Foreshadowing}} There are signs]] [[OhCrap that it's starting to happen to Dooku...]]
58	* KungFuWizard: All Jedi are expected to have some unarmed as well as lightsaber combat skills.
59	* LighterAndSofter: The first few books of Lineage (see above), and in general, Legacy.
60	* MasterApprenticeChain: Dooku to Qui-Gon, Qui-Gon to Feemor, Xanatos, and Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan to Anakin.
61	* MasterSwordsman: Yoda, Dooku, and Mace Windu, naturally, are stand-out examples.
62	** Qui-Gon is very nearly as good as Mace, and Obi-Wan and [[spoiler: Maul]] are pretty much equal (and more or less even with Qui-Gon).
63	* TheMole: In Lineage II, [[spoiler: Sifo-Dyas]]; in Lineage III, it's [[spoiler: Choollo]].
64	* MythologyGag: Obi-Wan's Force visions occasionally contain references to the main films, such as seeing [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Qui-Gon on a funeral pyre and asking his Master what will become of him.]]
65	** Obi-Wan has a dubiously canon brother named Owen. In Legacy II, it turns out that he has a cousin adopted as a brother, named Owen.
66	* PapaWolf: Qui-Gon is very protective of Obi-Wan, though his teaching methods are... unconventional, to say the least.
67	** When Troon Palo hears that Qui-Gon has upset his precious charge, he swears to himself that he'll put the man in a headlock and throttle him with his own tunics.
68	* PosthumousCharacter: Chakora Seva, an {{OC}} from 400 years before, provides many quotes utilized by Obi-Wan and occasionally Qui-Gon.
69	* PsychicBlockDefense: Every trained (and even some untrained) Sensitive has this, to a greater or lesser extent.
70	* PurpleProse: There's ''lots'' of this.
71	* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Xanatos, whom Qui-Gon views as [[MyGreatestFailure his greatest failure]].
72	* RageAgainstTheMentor: It's heavily implied that Qui-Gon did plenty of this to Dooku as a Padawan. Xanatos, naturally, has a far greater antagonistic relationship with Qui-Gon.
73	** Obi-Wan has a moment of this towards the end of Lineage VII, when he calls Qui-Gon a hypocrite for [[spoiler: telling him to not get attached to Siri even though Qui-Gon's clearly done the same with regards to Tahl]].
74	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Yoda and Mace, though they fall on the stricter end of the spectrum, are ultimately this, as is Qui-Gon, who's generally kinder.
75	* RefugeInAudacity: Obi-Wan pretends to be a Togorian demigod in order to settle a planetary conflict.
76	** This is Qui-Gon's usual MO, such as in Legacy II, when his solution to the election dispute is to [[spoiler: make sure there's no election]]. ItMakesSenseInContext.
77	* ShipTease: ''Loads'' between Obi-Wan and Siri, and plenty between Qui-Gon and Tahl.
78	* SpacePolice: The Jedi are mostly a mix between this and {{Ambadassador}}. Some focus more on one, some on the other.
79	* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Qui-Gon will choose Good every time. Obi-Wan and Mace will, while irritated, usually choose Good if they can't TakeAThirdOption.
80	* VitriolicBestBuds: Qui-Gon and Mace, Qui-Gon and Plo Koon, Obi-Wan and Garen, and Obi-Wan and Feld all snark at each other regularly, but also care deeply for one another.
81	* WithGreatPower: Jedi are trained to believe this since childhood.
