This is another one of those first TPM fan-fic stories I read way back in '99. It's from a series of heart-warming stories about Obi-Wan and Anakin just after they become master and padawan, written by two sisters. For a few years, they had their own website but that has since disappeared. Most of the stories are still on fanfic.net.
It is flawed but enjoyable none-the-less. Formatting on Fanfic.net is not always the best but I thought it was worth it.
What keeps me coming back to these stories, is Obi-Wan and Anakin's growing relationship. There is a genuiness and combination of humour and seriousness that gives the stories warmth. The first one is a lovely introduction and it is followed up by two others, that allude to a coming darkness, yet still retain the warmth of the first story. Other stories in the series include "House of Cards" which is somewhat darker and an excellent follow-up, and "Sofa, So Good"
There were others written my Smitty's sister but they have since disappeard from the net.
Edit: Thanks to jedi_rita for finding the complete series. My favourtie in the series, is the lightly humourous "All Star" http://jhswstories.8m.com/allstar.html
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan pounded on the door.
"Come in." The door slid open, and Obi-Wan burst into the room.
Anakin was sitting in the middle of his bed.
"Come on. Pack your things. All of them."
"Are we going on a mission," Anakin asked, already knowing the
answer. Or are you throwing me out? he wondered.
"No. Anakin, we're going away from the Temple. We're going to
train you as you should be trained. No more runny-nosed little brats
boasting about their training or ugly missions you aren't ready to go on."
Obi-Wan almost sounded excited. This was the first emotion
Anakin had really seen from him. He turned a disbelieving gaze on the
older man.
"You mean you didn't rat me out?"
"Rat you out?" Obi-Wan stared at him.
"Yeah...you know, tell the Council how horrible I did on the last
mission."
"Oh, well, we did sit around and tell Stupid Padawan stories for a
few hours, and it might have come up a few times--" Obi-Wan stopped
when he saw the stricken look on Anakin's face. "Anakin, I'm joking. I
would never make fun of you to the Council. You really think Master
Yoda and Master Windu sit around and tell Stupid Padawan stories?"
