Fanmix - dance along the edge
Title: dance along the edge
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Star Wars
Pairing: Buffy Summers/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Notes: Made for waywardmixes Round 8, "rare pairs".
This pairing is one of my first crossover pairings that I became absolutely enamored with when I first started getting into crossovers. This fanmix takes place in a verse that I'm working on, called Against the Wind.
Buffy Summers is the Slayer, the Chosen One, she who hangs out a lot in cemeteries. At least, she was until she died. Ripped from heaven by her friends, she barely had time to adjust before she found herself suddenly plucked from her home and deposited on the planet Naboo, three years after the devastating invasion by the Trade Federation. Forced to make a new life for herself, Buffy initially struggled through her depression and learning about a new planet before a series of events led to her enlisting in the Naboo Army and being placed as one of Senator Amidala's bodyguards on Coruscant.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Knight and Master of Anakin Skywalker. Relatively young, he and his Padawan have been making a name for themselves in the years between the Invasion of Naboo and the beginnings of the Clone Wars. Calm, focused, and with a sarcastic sense of humor, Obi-Wan holds himself to a high standard of behavior and struggles to live up to the burden placed on him by his former Master, Qui-Gon Jinn to train Anakin as a Jedi.
Buffy and Obi-Wan were first thrown together in the aftermath of the attempted assassination on Senator Amidala's life, both investigating who was behind such an action. Although mistrustful of the other at first, they began reluctantly respecting the other during the course of events that led to the Battle of Geonosis. In the aftermath, Buffy joins the Army of the Republic, commissioned as a commander and frequently partnered with Obi-Wan and Anakin.
This mix takes place about a year and a half into the Clone Wars, when their relationship has grown from grudging respect, genuine friendship, to something that neither of them are willing to classify at first. Much of this much was made with the idea that there are all these forces aligned against these two, with a good chance that one of them will die in the line of duty, and that they are always coming and going. They take what small moments that they can, knowing that they might not get much more than that. It's a bittersweet relationship, one done in secret, with an unknown future ahead of them as the war intensifies and their unknown enemy's endgame begins to emerge.
dance along the edge ~ concrete blonde
We always seem so careful,
We're always so unsure.
Our past mistakes they make us shakey...eyes on the door.
When do we stop searching
For what we're searching for?
Then when it comes, we question love and try for more!
resistance ~ muse
Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they won't to stop breaking us down
Hold me
Our lips must always be sealed
this is why we fight ~ the decemberists
This is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
And this is why
This is why we fight
When we die
We will die
With our arms unbound
And this is why
This is why
Why we fight
Come hell
the story ~ brandi carlile
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
save tonight ~ chad sugg & alex goot
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start to cry
Cause girl you know I've got to go, oh
Lord I wish it wasn't so
your guardian angel ~ the red jumpsuit apparatus
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up for you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all.
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven.
we found love ~ sam tsui
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
so close ~ jon mclaughlin
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
something dark is coming ~ bear mccreary
