Pairing: None, Gen fic
Summery: A well-meaning visitor from another galaxy 'rescues' Obi-Wan from the Palace -- how will he get back to Qui-Gon?

But will his new guardians understand, when he can't explain? Will they trust an alien child?

Reason for recommending: I'm recommending this fic for a couple of reasons. One, we do not have nearly enough gen fics rec'd here. And two, this is a wonderful crossover fic with Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'm always a sucker for a good crossover fic. One of the things I loved most about this fic was seeing the interactions between a 13 year old Obi-Wan and the characters I loved from the Star Trek series. The characterizations were wonderful on both sides.
The one is a sequal to another fic called 'Seekers'. I recommend reading the first fic, but I understood 'Ward' without reading it.
Quote from the story:
Obi-Wan put out his hand to take a small crystal that Wesley held out to him. The crystal glowed with a soft pink light when it touched his skin.
"Data brought that one back from an uninhabited planet," Wes explained to him. "The mineralogists went crazy trying to figure out how it phosphoresces. They still don't know."
Obi-Wan glanced at Wes in puzzlement, then turned his attention to the crystal. With the tiniest tendril of the Force, he brushed the crystal's structure. He blinked in surprise. He felt loneliness -- was it an echoing of his own feelings back to him? Or -- he brushed it again, this time feeling a soft surprise, then welcoming. The crystal glowed brighter, shading to orange, then gold.
"Hey -- it's never done that before!" Wes said.
Some strange, minute creature lived within, or as part of, this crystal's structure: Obi-Wan was certain of it. He looked for the shelf Wes had taken it from, then looked to Wes, and mimed taking a crystal from a drawer.
"Is there another? Yes -- there are at least two samples --" and Wes pulled open the tiny drawer beneath the crystal's display shelf. Inside was one more crystal, dark and still on a cushion of foam. Obi-Wan took the crystal into his hand, nestling it beside the first. He smiled. The crystals flared once, joyously, then went still. He placed them together on the display shelf. If they couldn't be home, at least they could be together.
