Before he can become one with the Force, Obi-Wan Kenobi is visited by the ghost of Qui-Gon, who tells him the Force wants to prevent Anakin from turning dark. To do so, it decided to send Obi-Wan back to just before the Battle of Geonosis with the memories of what would happen should he fail, the instructions to not let Anakin know about the future and some words to keep in mind, "''The dark is generous, it is patient and it always wins. But in its strength lies weakness. One lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars.''"

10!!This fic shows examples of:

12* AlternateUniverse: Starting when Obi Wan tells the council about Anakin's nightmares about Shmi.
13* BabiesEverAfter: For Anakin and Padme with Luke and Leia, and inverted with Obi Wan and Siri, as they have Jinn and Kira about halfway through the story.
14* DealWithTheDevil: Averted. [[spoiler: Sidious offers one to Anakin after stabbing Obi-Wan: join the dark side and save Kenobi, or refuse and watch his best friend/brother die. Thankfully, Anakin takes a third option.]]
15* ForWantOfANail: The big divergence from canon starts with Obi Wan deciding to not dismiss Anakin's visions about Shmi and, as such, stops his slaughter against the Tusken Raiders and his brush with the Dark Side.
16%%* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: Palpatine's fate.]]
17* OhCrap: [[spoiler: Darth Sidious' reaction when he realizes that Anakin won't be joining the dark side and is about to slice his head off.]]
18%%* PeggySue: Obi-Wan. It's the whole point of the story.
19* ThePowerOfLove: Obi-Wan eventually figures out this is the true enemy of the dark side and the romantic and platonic versions of this are what keep Anakin in the light.
20* ShoutOut: The quote Qui-Gon gives to Obi-Wan is from the epilogue of the Revenge of the Sith novelization.
21* SparedByTheAdaptation: Shmi Skywalker is saved by Siri Tachi and Ferus Olin after Obi Wan asks the Council to send a team to check on her based on Anakin's visions (and his foreknowledge).
22** Siri Tachi, who originally was killed by the bounty hunter Magus in ''Secrets of the Jedi'', this time around Obi Wan managed to save her life (though the exacts how are never seen or explained).
23%%* SpiritAdvisor: Qui-Gon for Obi-Wan.
24* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: After watching Sidious stab Obi-Wan, Anakin panics, believing his brother to be dying. Sidious takes advantage of this and offers to save Obi-Wan in exchange for Anakin's apprenticeship, but thanks to his master's encouragement, Anakin instead chooses to lop off the Sith Lord's head regardless if Obi-Wan survives his wounds or not.]]
25%%* TimeTravel: The whole concept.
26* VillainousBreakdown: Sidious falls victim to one when his plot to turn Anakin to the dark side is thwarted by Obi-Wan's intervention (and foreknowledge).
