Oh God.

I kinda love you right now. Like. SO MUCh.

Eeee, Little Al, so cute and so clever! ♥

The one that said Arthur was truly happy. Perhaps happy enough to give up the whole universe. Perhaps happy enough that he might have actually did.

Oh, Arthur.

Also, using Jedi mind tricks on kids, Arthur? Tsk, tsk. XD

Verse!Arthur misuses the Force SO MUCH it's a wonder the Empire hadn't found him yet. XD Also, he likes cheating. Not exactly a paragon of the light side, he is!

XD Parents of the world despair they don't have Arthur's power. But with a kid like Al, he needs all the help he can get.

Haha. Hooligan!Jedi!Arthur is the best (until you get him drunk, or supremely angry). ♥

He was originally seven. I changed him to nine because, dangit, that's what came out and seven year olds are not capable of that much profound thinking.

Sometimes I wonder if I tend to write too much Arthur being all-sacrificing.....>_> Although in this verse....well, Alfred thinks he did, but SW being SW he didn't really.....

Thank you for the comment. <3 I always feel bad for not managing to always return the favor, but!

Haha. Well, nine seems like a good age. I dunno, I have seen clever seven-year olds. XD

I kinda think if there was a way to raise Al without giving things up, he would have taken taken that road rather than...obscurity. I'm sure Arthur is capable of enormous self-sacrifice, but he has his moments of wistful longing.

Well. They can think with that kind of logic train, but usually not with that much profound angst. XD Maybe Alfred's exceptionally clever, but I think this is also quite exceptional for a nine-year-old.

I actually think he proposed taking Al out on a SPACE PIRATE1111!!!!1 career, but was vehemently turned down for obvious reasons. He used to be somewhat wilder, too, before Al starts to wake up to his Force powers. (See also : Hightailing it out of Mos Eisley in a hijacked speeder!) It's too bad that I can't really write that he went to do 'this' day from his perspective, it's actually pretty cool. His arrangement's a little bit more complicated than Obi-Wan's, anyway.
