You're probably thinking, "What in the world is this?" Well, let me start off by defining AU. It's an abbreviation for "alternate universe". Think Star Trek's "Mirror Mirror" timeline. It's basically the same characters, but events are altered. Even the characters, while retaining their same basic features and names, are different, and things aren't exactly what they are in the "regular" universe.
So as you might expect, a Star Wars AU will follow those guidelines. In summary, this AU will follow Shmi Skywalker as she deals with being left behind on Tatooine after Anakin leaves. However, the AU part comes from a character addition: Petra Skywalker. She is the adopted daughter of Shmi, the older sister of Anakin. Since this story basically spoils the related story Not Quite a Shadow (which is almost exclusively Petra's story), she marries Obi-Wan and they have several children together. But back to Shmi: she's a character I love, and it's such a shame we don't see her much in the films. In fact, we don't really know much about her or her background at all. Why in the world was SHE chosen to be Anakin's mother? What was her relationship like with Cliegg Lars? With Owen and Beru? These are answers I wanted to theorize on, so I wrote this fan fiction. It's not perfect, and at the moment I'm not currently editing it (it's been finished for over two years), but constructive criticism/beta editing is always welcome so I can refine my writing. Pointing out inconsistencies are welcome as well, sometimes I forget what I've written and I contradict myself. Also, I will not follow the Disney canon. I *might* mention something from the Disney Canon at times, but generally I'll follow the expanded universe (EU).
Updates will be fairly regular, probably once a day or so.
Hope you enjoy!
