For Brothers
For all brothers everywhere
On the front lines and back home
There is not one heartstring tied
That will ever come undone.
For every laugh you share
For every smile you try to hide
Every time you stood up straight
And told the other guy “step aside.”
For all brothers separate
By death or cruel fate
For every tear you drop alone,
For every hour you wait.
You feel each other’s every pain,
You know each other’s heart.
For every one who lieth slain,
For the lives that didn’t start.
For all brothers bound by curse
To nightmare deep and dark
For every tear you shed awake,
And to the silence hark.
The elder can not sway his hand,
The younger named a traitor’s stand,
Pray destiny the wheel may turn
And take you back to your homeland.
To all brothers far from home
Alone, on watch, tonight
I hang a prayer on every star
To pierce the sky with light.
Until the Watch-Star leads us home
From all the trials of war
We shall tell the tales and carve them in stone
Of all you who’ve gone before.
This poem is dedicated to all brothers everywhere, whether by blood or in spirit, and especially our boys in the military. I pray every night that God will keep them safe.
Obi-Wan and Anakin
Steve and Bucky
Martin and Gonff
Thor and Loki
Will and Gilan
Horatio and Archie
Brothers not by blood, but by heart.
Remember them.
AHHAHA!!!! How did I KNOW you’d mention Steve/Bucky and Thor/Loki? 😛
*cries* You know me too well… *bawls my eyes out* HE LEFT HIM ON THE BANK OF A LAVA RIVER AND HE WAS CRYING! *wails*
AND SO WERE ALL THE REST OF US! *wails*
*cries so hard* I feel guilty now, because it seems like it’s only the two of us crying over this any more and really, it’s just as emotional and painful as any stupid TV show that’s still running! *cries all over again*
This conversation wants me to filch footage from other movies in which Ewan McGregor acted to make a fanvideo in which Obi-Wan remembers Anakin while he’s protecting Luke on Tatooine. *cries* They were like brothers. (Which would sort of make him Luke and Leia’s uncle on the other side?) Also, what happened to Sola and her kids??? Why did nobody ask Sola if she wanted to adopt? Would they have suspected Obi-Wan of trying to hide the kids on Naboo? Because the Empire would probably doubleguess itself, trying to find out where Obi-Wan went and Naboo would be either too obvious to them, or preposterous, given that it was Palpatine’s homeworld…
Wouldn’t work. RandomActor’s only been in pretty icky stuff otherwise. (It’s been declared a Name Not To Be Spoken.) And old-fashioned sketch animation might even work better.
Sola? Just that, because Palpatine’s from Naboo. Also because Sola had kids, and kids talk. Even about their top-secret cousins.
Hmmmm… might be interesting…
Oh. Makes some sense, I guess.
That was awesome. Obi should have killed Anakin, though.
But he couldn’t! DON’T YOU DARE BITE ME, PLOT BUNNY! I HAVE ENOUGH FEELS ALREADY!!!
*sigh*
Professor, you just bunnied me one. -_- Where Obi-Wan is drugged and ends up killing Anakin, aka his best friend, and ends up having to live with it. *cries* PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT TO ME :’-(
Oh, dear! Okay. If you insist. But he would have helped things had he done it–just a bit.
*groans as her head crashes into her keyboard* NO… Just no.
I do hope you didn’t bust up your keyboard!
I didn’t *cries into her sleeve* I’m writing more feelsy stuff.
Don’t cry, young lady!
Why not? Because it’s SAD and painful.
Oh, it is not! You’re not supposed to feel Obi’s pain.
I’m an empath.
Too Hercules. Don’t go there.
*cries* I’m TRYING! :’-(
And no, I won’t go there. If I do this, it will probably be as fanart, not…. fanfic. And it would be more heartbreaking still, because Obi-Wan is going to know what he’s doing as he kills Anakin because Anakin went evil or whatever, or maybe it was the only way to free Anakin from Palpatine’s influence. (wasn’t there a fairytale where someone was seeking something, and then the wise/crazy old person said, “Oh, that’s easy to find” and the main character said “How?” to which the crazy old guy replied “You only have to die”?)
“I’m sorry, brother.”
Erm, no. I think you made that one up.
Hmm.. I might’ve. My mind is a weird and twisted place and sometimes I mistake things I created myself for reality.
Now that is rather impressive.
Why thank you *grins dementedly*
A Sith, too, I’m thinking.
Well, it does sound like a Sith just before they try to kill you.
I wonder if there’s a Sith who’s never killed.
There might be, but he’d be an awfully bored and short-lived Sith,
I’m not bored!
Meh.
Okay, question. Horatio and Archie. I totally agree, but I just watched the second episode and there’s no Archie. Last time I saw him, Simpson cut loose his boat and floated him out to sea. My brothers are assuming he’s dead now because there was no sign of him in The Fire Ships.
I don’t want him to be dead, but it looks like it…
Spoiler: He comes back a little later in the series and is a main player in the series. So he’s not dead. Do you want to know how he came back? 😛
No, I’ll save that. 🙂 Thanks for putting my mind at ease about him not being dead, though.
No problem! 🙂
