And then I will explain why.

*thinking emoji* I like fluff, but what I like most is angst and drama with a happy ending! I'm a suckered for hurt/comfort too, it's probably my favorite trope in the universe, haha. I also like canon fic with possible canon divergences! Hmm, I'd say TPM era... and wow, Witness Me is insanely long! I think I'm definitely gonna have to check that out. :D

Witness me definitely has literally all of those things; near-canon divergence. Fluff, angst, h/c (and how, sometimes), you name it. LOL! It's got everything, plus eventually the Blackbirds, who I love ridiculous amounts. XD And their perpetually-learning Lieutenant. It's certainly the kind of relationship I was thinking of when I drew those pictures, anyway, though I haven't defined any universe for those (yet).

For TMP AUs (most ObiMaul is necessarily so, though these are all very canon flavored):

The Lost & The Forgotten, by shadowmaat: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16731900 - Qui-Gon gets Anakin but leaves Obi behind in his place; in the meantime, Maul failed one too many times to kill Jedi. It's a short little piece, but I love it.

Breaking the Chains, Forging the Links by Sereq_ieh_Dashret: https://archiveofourown.org/works/6677377 - The author's ESL and the story could use a beta and editor, but it's good for about five tons of whump and h/c and some fluff and a steadily moving plot. Unfinished as yet, but certainly worth a look, and it seems to be aiming for a happy ending.

Imprisoned by DarthOmicron: https://archiveofourown.org/works/6084411 - A more antogonistic look at one way things coulda gone if Maul had been captured rather than killed at Theed. As a bonus, it's finished, too! The ending being-- optimistic, in a way, I think.

Those are a few. XD There's a rec on all_maul already for Knight Moves by JayKay, too, which was written literally back towards the very beginning in terms of Maul.

Hope these work! ETA: And if you do end up tackling WM, let me know what you think when you have time or want to? I'm crazy proud of it.

OMG. It sounds awesome--I definitely need to check it out (and will absolutely let you know what I think!). Thank you so much for all the other recs too! I'm glad to have something to read over the holidays to take my mind off the more stressful aspects of Christmas! :)

Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy!
