God- My computer just deleted all of my tribute videos to Clone Wars! UGH...

Ah well. Might as well tell you why I'm posting in the AM's...

IIIIIIIIIIT'S OBITINE MONTH!

Well, ok. Maybe not quite yet. And yeah, maybe I made up the whole thing. But who cares! OBITINE MONTH IS ON! FEBRUARYYYYYYYY YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Basically I named February "Obitine Month", since all but one of the Obitine episodes originally aired in February. Also, all but one of the "Episode Days" for the Obitine episodes occur in this month. (I take the season and episode numbers and match them up with a month and date number to create a holiday dedicated to the episode. EX: Season 2, episode 12 day is on February 12th) So in other words, I went way overboard and now I have a whole month DEDICATED to going overboard!

Anyhow, I'm starting my fanfiction run for this month on today, because it's a very special day. IT'S THE FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORIGINAL AIRDATE OF THE MANDALORE PLOT! Five years ago, on this very day, Obitine was introduced to the world. *Hands virtual Nobel Prizes out*

So anyways, I wrote a little oneshot about the Lawless. Happy reading!

She supposed that she should just be grateful the tears had stopped. Glad that the pain was only in her mind now, and not carving salty cracks in her visage.

Yet it all haunted her, her very surroundings reminding her of how hopeless the situation was. How nothing mattered anymore. How she had been ripped from her life and ruined. How nothing could save her now.

That's not necessarily true, A tiny voice whispered. One Satine was working to keep silent. You contacted Obi-Wan. He would leave the Jedi Order for you...

Satine gritted her teeth, face scrunched into a tight grimace. His career comes first. He said he'd leave the Jedi Order for me... he never did... the last I saw, he was dead- until then a week later, an economical message arrived claiming that he wasn't...

Satine wanted to silence the hope. Piling layers upon layers of reality, there sincerely was no way Obi-Wan would come. None.

And yet... it seemed that the more she conditioned herself to expect disappointment, the more she hoped. The more she began to truly believe in the impossible, that Obi-Wan would come. That he cared.

A small whooshing sound flitted throughout the room, tying Satine's stomach in a knot. Someone was here.

A mess of garbled color reverberating on the windows of the cell told her that this wasn't Obi-Wan. Red and black smears of color hinted at a guard, another member of Death Watch.

"Here to do more of your master's bidding?" Satine dashed her comment with a spice of hostility, hoping to somewhat relieve the knot of tension in her stomach. Everyone who knew Satine knew she didn't have a hostile bone in her body. But the words somewhat quieted the knot that whispered. Useless. Failure.

That was who she was now. The woman who believed so strongly in her ideals, she let her city fall to ruin. Failure.

A voice from behind ripped into her musings. "I do my own bidding." The soft Couruscanti accent snapped Satine's eyes open as a gigantic grin spread across her face, beginning to blink in disbelief.

"Obi-Wan!" Satine hurtled herself at the Jedi Master, pure joy transforming battle-worn armor into the softest of pillows. She leaned into him eagerly, solid relief silencing the tangled mess in her stomach.

Gloved hands clasped her shoulders, yanking her out of her brief peace. Satine resisted the urge to cling to Obi-Wan, masking her disappointment with a question.

"Are you alone?"

"Yes. The Jedi Council and Galactic Senate will be of no help to us here." Obi-Wan ducked out of the room, leaning back to entangle his fingers in Satine's, pulling her away from the cell. Whisking her away from the hopeless depths.

Just as he always did.

So I'm going to warn you all right now: All of my other projects are on the back burner for now, because OBITINE MONTH XD

However, as compensation, I am open to requests for oneshots until the end of February. They'll all be in this story. The only restriction is that I'm not going to write any lemons, in the interest of keeping this fanfic T. Sorry if this was a bit short, by the way... Most of these are going to be rather short, as I want to write as many as possible. XD Anyways, HAPPY OBITINE MONTH EVERYBODY!
