Choosing Anakin

Disclaimer: I have an immense respect for George Lucas and his colleagues. I mean no harm while writing this fanfiction. I respect a lot their private lives and I really hope they won't be offended by my little work here.

------------------------------------------------------------
There were days like those when everything seemed to go wrong with life, work and all that stuff. When someone felt in that way, people said you should go out, seeing friends and drinking one glass or two.

But that wasn't the case for George Lucas, he had to cast several actors and no one seemed to fit for the role of Anakin Skywalker. He asked a blond-haired blue-eyed boy. He had to be good-looking and shown a dark side inside of him.

Besides, he wanted someone who seemed maverick, defiant and certainly serious. He ought to be look adventurous and he was supposed to be a good friend.

He already looked for Brad Pitt yet he was far too much old for the role, he saw Leoardo DiCaprio yet the chemistry didn't work with Natalie Portman.

It seemed for George Lucas, he had to choose someone else among the famous figures of Hollywood. So he watched again several pictures on his screen before turning off the light.

The worst of this situation it was the fact Attack of the Clones filming starting in five months and no one fitted at all! Sometimes he felt jealous of Steven Spielberg, his long-time friend, for his damn luck with actors.

Oh yes, Steven will joke about that later, he felt it. But it was worth, right?

So George Lucas went to bed while dreaming of blond actors. Soon, it would become a nightmare...
----------------------------------------------------------
The morning later, he came to the Fox's studio, the producers wanted to know how the casting advanced and George Lucas didn't feel right during that moment at all.

He knew perfectly Hollywood's rules were strict and George didn't like the fact he was late at all. It reminded him so much when he filmed the first trilogy.

He sighed deeply, knowing they wouldn't be glad at all, he had to be faster, quicker... He entered the room alongside his friend Rick MacCallum, having a bad feeling in his gut. Damn, he became like those Jedi in his own saga!

So he explained carefully how the casting advanced and he wanted more time to find the right young man. The producer in front of him didn't seem to like it at all yet he knew George Lucas since a long time.

The producer thought about the original trilogy and knew how difficult it was for George Lucas to choose the right thing. He was such a perfectionnist!

So he let two more weeks otherwise Fox qon't give him money to start the film and they would choose the actor for him. George felt offended yet he knew it might happen in some cases.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
he went out the building and watched the sky remembering the first trilogy's casting. It was so easier during that time! Almost no one wanted to be part of a franchise which might not work.

Yet, his phone rang and he responded to a call.

"Good morning George", Spielberg's voice sounded like bless for Lucas. "How the casting work? I heared you get difficluties."

Geroge Lucas sighed deeply and he really hoped his friend wouldn't bring the sublect on teh table.

"Well... I make sure things get quicker, believe me."

Steven sighed for his friend and he was sure one thing made good to people: a drink or two between friends. yet, as professionals of cinema, they had other activities.

"Why not watching this movie... Life as a House? One of my colleagues told me a lot of good about this movie. Do you want to come?".

George honestly wanted to go to theater with his friend yet he had other projects, other duties.

"Sorry Steven, I have someone to find."

"You should really go out, it will help you. Besides, they are fine actors in that movie."

While entering in his own car, George Lucas considered his friend's advice and let out a deep breathe. Stress didn't bring him any good. Spielberg was right, a good movie would help him.

"Okay. When do you plan to watch it?"

"Today, I will send you a car."

"Okay, see you soon."

He could almost see Spielberg's smile, the knew each other since such a long time, the kind of predicted each other's reactions. Rick MacCallum, at Lucas's side felt very curious all of a sudden. When Spielberg called, things got interesting.

"What happens?"

"Steven invites me for a movie."

Rick opened big widened eyes, George wanted to have fun when they had to choose someone?

"Don't worry, it will be fine."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the meanwhile, Hayden Christensen opened several screenplays, he remembered his experience alongside Kristin Scott Thomas with Life as a House and thanked her for her several advices. She was so clever and such a kind woman.

He fel it was a privilege to play with her, to meet her, to observe her. She was a model for him.  She acted so naturally, people believed easily she was the character herself.

Yet he got a message from his family and his mother told him they invited everyone for a meal the next day. He smiled, after all, he had time for reading the screenplays.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spielberg took George at home and they went to the closest theater, talking about their projects, their works and future possible stars. Spielberg had the feeling some of them would be extremely good in the future.

George, in the other side was lost his his thoughts, he hoped Marcia was still here to give him advices about actors, she was so good in finding actors.She hepled him a lot during the first trilogy.

"Still thinking of her?"

"She was my ray of light."

Steven smiled: he understood to well for George's liking.

They entered in the theater in this mood, rather optimistic for Spielberg and regretful for Lucas. MacCallum wondered sometimes if George would love someone else after all those years.

The light was off and the movie started.  It was rather good and the actors were indeed fine. The story was great and touching. George liked a lot. Yet, someone caught his attention during this watching.

Sam was somehow like Anakin, a bit lost and hopeful. He fitted for the role of Anakin. He hed those blue eyes and the right attitude. Perhaps this movie wasn't a loss of time.

MacCallum watched carefully his friend's attitude, someone caught his attention obviously. This young man could be George's last hope.

Later, George and Spielberg talked about the movie and George was interesd in that Hayden Christensen. He needed to meet the young man.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Hayden got ready for his meal with his family. He took a white shirt and a black pants. He took a look in the mirror one more time before driving to his parents' house in Vancouver.

"Hello, dear. How are you?"

His mother was so sweet. His onw father went to the main entrance to greet him proudly. He watched several times Life as a House and found his son quite good.

"That's my son!"

Hayden laughed a lot and met the rest of his family. He felt at home only here. So ha ate what his mother prepared and talked about the last news in Hollywood.

It went well and his uncles and aunts wanted to know more, they weree very curious. Yet, soon Hayden's phone rang. His mother complained about it and wanted Hayden to not respond.

"Sorry Mom, my agent is really serious."

He responded and his agent said:

"Hayden, George Lucas wants to meet you for the role of Anakin Skywalker - Darth Vader."

The Cristensens watched hayden mouth openened as if they couldn't believe what they heared. It took several seconds to recover their attitude.

"That's... wonderful!. Thank you very much. When?" Hayden asked.

"Tomorrow in Los Angeles."

Hayden's father were fairly surprised and he congratulated his son. It would be a great opportunity for him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hayden went out the plane and he met his agent who gave him several pages of a screenplay. He learned in the car by heart some lines like the fireplace scene. He felt he would be casted thanks to those ones.

A producer met Hayden in the main antrance of Lucasfilm and Hayden was guided in a room with several seats. Someone showed him a comfortable couch and he sat here, waiting.

George Lucas entered in the room and greeted the young man. Hayden felt his heart racing, he watched as a child Star Wars and meeting Lucas was a dream coming true.

"We will start with the argument between Anakin and Obi-wan about Padmé's safety."

And it started, several scenes were chosen and Hayden felt as if Anakin took birth inside him. Something happened inside of him and he was sure the character wanted to go out.

"Thank you Hayden" George told.

Soon, a beautiful young woman entered in the room as well: Natalie Portman. Hayden felt warm inside of him, he knew thanks to interviews she was Luke and Leia's future mother. Yet the man inside him felt warm.

"We will choose the fireplace scene now..."

Hayden chose to be close to natalie Protman and he felt as if he was meant to kiss her.

"We can't Ani..."

"Anakin..."

The words went naturally in his mouth and the team was speechless. The chemistry worked indeed! Besides, they were really good-looking together. At the end, Hadyden felt Anakin went away and Natalie felt awkward around this young man. She needed some time alone.

"Good."

George Lucas put a piece of paper in front of him and Hayden took the pen he got. He read the paper and was glad he got the role.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside, he met with surprise another man. He was short and had blue eyes.

"Hayden Cristensen."

The man took his hand.

"Ewan Macgregor."

"Obi-wan?"

Ewan laughed:

"Anakin?"

Hayden smiled, he felt as if he were part of the family".

"Nice to meet you."

The two men in font of two cup of coffee and talked about their roles and the relationship between Anakin and Obi-wan. Portman joined them later and sat at Hayden's side. Ewan smiled: they looked good together.

"I let you. See you in five months."

Ewan went out the building and Natalie turned her face to Hayden. She felt the same feeling as in the cast room and she was sure it wasn't due to her character. She kissed softly Hayden's lips.

Hayden responded to the kiss and he decided he should date her. They broke the kiss and Hayden entered home. Meanwhile, he got the timetable about the training in fencing. It would be a very special filming for sure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, Mark Hamill got a call from George Lucas. The man was witting on his couch, reading the screenplay of the future tv show of Batman. The Joker took a huge part in his career. For sure.

"Are you sure you don't have hidden children here and there?"

Mark opened his mouth.

"Just a joke. Hayden Christensen looks a lot like you. For people he might be your own son."

Mark closed his eyes, George had a very special sense of humor.

"He's good?"

"Very good."

The End

Sherlock, Irene and John

About Sherlock x Irene and John x Sherlock



Introduction


Lately, people talk a lot about Steven Moffat's and Mark Gatiss' adaptation of Sherlock Holmes' adventures. Those adventures in their serie are set is a modern day. Modern days deal with homosexuality, pairings and lots of stuff like that. I have seen lots of people blaming SherEne because it threats their favorite pairing aka JohnLock. Sorry to disappoint guys,  but this pairing is a mere fantasy of yours. I have a huge respect for you, dear JohnLock fangirls but this pairing is a mere phantasm. So I have decided to post that essay to prove SherEne is officially canon.

I) The encounters

I.1) John and Sherlock

Sherlock looks for a flatmate because he needs help for paying the rent. John looks for an interesting life and he tells it to his therapist. After being a soldier involved in a war, he thinks true life, our life isn't interesting at all. He needs a good challenge without noticing it. Moreover both men know very few people would be able to bear them as flatmates.

Oh! It reminds some of my friends at university. They looked for someone to pay the rent! I forget! There is something between them! I am quite sure they would appreciate being called gays! Yeah, pair people just like that at first sight. It won't bother them at all. 

Indeed, Sherlock is very arrogant and he is antisocial, John suffers from a post-traumatic experience. They are rejected by our society's standards. But John is a physician and physicians are known for their patience. That's why John is able to live with Sherlock.

Besides, Sherlock reads directly in John, he knows his sister is drunk, he is a physician and he is a former soldier. A former soldier? Might be interesting but Sherlock wishes to pay the rent first. He doesn't look for a flatmate for his background even though he prefers to know who John is at first sight. John seems to be the boring type. 

I.2) Irene and Sherlock

Well, Sherlock is supposed to find some pictures in Irene's house and he wants to fool her. What a challenge! Irene wants to fool Sherlock and she studied him during a very long time. She wants to be sure she can fool him at first sight even though the task is tough. Indeed she fools him and Sherlock isn't able to talk anymore.

He doesn't understand her at all and it bothers to no end. He wishes he could but he had to find another way to know Irene. Irene is a challenge directly and Sherlock finds her very interesting for that. Irene is a challenge? But Moriarty and Mycroft? They are.

No, both are different. Jim claims to be a foe and Mycroft is Sherlock's brother. They are in a different area. Irene is someone completely new. She is a woman and Sherlock didn't face any other adversary of her type. But Irene is clever, she shows to Sherlock the most interesting aspect of her body and Sherlock knows where to watch.

Sherlock is asexual! Stop it now. When you are asexual you aren't interested in women's bodies at all and men's. But Sherlock is interested in Irene's body. That's the point. 

It seems Sherlock thinks John is boring but Irene sounds like challenge and Sherlock enjoys a very good challenge.


II) First adventures



II.1) John and Sherlock

Well, Lestrade found a body and he needs Sherlock's precious help. That's the point. Nothing is new and it seems to be something usual between the policeman and Sherlock. Sherlock leaves the room in order to join Lestrade's men.

He forgets John is in the room and he leaves like that without saying goodbye to John. But he kisses Mrs Hudson's cheek and he doesn't say farewell to poor John. 

But Sherlock realizes John might be useful to him: he is a former soldier, a physician and he might have seen horrible deaths. Okay. But Sherlock doesn't seem to find him interesting that much. Do you want a proof? He insults John.

Apparently Sherlock triggered something in John he couldn't notice himself and he makes John live again. Perhaps but Sherlock isn't interested in John at all. Sherlock tells John he is married to his job. 

II.2) Irene and Sherlock

This first adventure involves CIA's spies and killers. They are here to find what Irene hides in her house. That's more surprising and Sherlock didn't know that at all. There is a lot more than we can guess. 

Irene is a skilled fighter and she is very clever, Sherlock sees it in her. She proves it when they are alone. She knows how to put Sherlock is a trap and Sherlock doesn't like when everything is easy at all. He prefers when people use their brains. It's way better for him.

So he doesn't insult Irene at all and he seems to have a higher respect for her. It's rare for Sherlock do not insult people. He claims she is 30, okay but he prefers to be polite in front of Irene. She is different after all.

Sherlock tends to respect more Irene than John. Sherlock wants a match and someone as clever as him. he seems to be impressed by Irene.

III) Texts


III.1) John and Sherlock


Sherlock has tendency to ignore John's texts and when the detective texts to John, it's more likely to ask John to do something for him. Sherlock never asks if John is okay at all and he doesn't respond to other people's texts at all.

Sherlock lets his secretary aka John to respond to people for him when they call. Sherlock thinks it's boring to check people's messages for him. Sherlock prefers thinking. It's more enjoyable. 

He tells John what to type and Sherlock has always the last word.



III.2) Irene and Sherlock

Well, that's different. Sherlock loves to check all Irene's messages. He is curious to know what Irene will send to him. She seems to be very special. 

He is always eager to see what's the message's content. But Irene's alert is a moan and Sherlock isn't afraid by this moan. He doesn't fear sex after all. 

After Irene's return, John asks Sherlock to move and talk to Irene. John thinks something happens between Sherlock and Irene. So Sherlock responds himself to Irene. He wishes her a happy new year. 

Irene is pleased. No she just manipulates Sherlock! Come on! She might appear mischievous in this scene but she seems sincere by his affection. 

Communicating with Irene leads to more personal talks for Sherlock.

IV) Writing and music

IV.1) John on Sherlock


John writes Sherlock's adventures only and I have took a look to John's blog on the Internet. I have never seen any hints of romance in this blog at all.

But John talks about The Woman and John discuss about her relation with Sherlock. He sees love between Irene and Sherlock even though those two don't realize it.

But I have the feeling Irene is more akin to aknowledge her feelings for Sherlock. 

IV.2) Sherlock on Irene


Let's face it: Sherlock never wrote any piece for John at all. He composes for Irene and Irene only. Usually, he plays violin in order to gather his thoughts for a case.

However, the detective writes for Irene: she is his muse. Being a muse is a work is most times for romance.I think it's a very beautiful piece and Sherlock plays Irene's song in front of her.

Irene thinks the piece is beautiful, she might not know it's for her but Sherlock plays it. This piece has been written long time ago but still Sherlock plays it lots of time. 

John writes about adventures but Sherlock expresses his feelings for Irene. 

V) Sherlock's rescues

V.1) John and Sherlock


John saves Sherlock, we all know it very clearly. No one is blind at all. We have all seen the end of A Study in Pink. But what strikes me the most is John saves Sherlock from a mere pawn. 

Okay it's amazing but this cab's driver is a mere pawn. This driver we lost and he was manipulated. Moriarty uses the poor man in order to kill people.

But okay, John saves Sherlock from Moriarty but it's a mere pawn we see here, not Moriarty himself. It's a sign of pure loyalty and John is after all, a former soldier.

V.2) Irene and Sherlock

Well it's more epic here. Irene saves in the same time Sherlock and John. Remember when Moriarty's phone rings during the pool scene. 

Actually, Irene has a client, a young princess. Irene makes a princess wait to save Sherlock and you don't make wait a princess. It's not polite but Sherlock is different. 

He is the great Sherlock Holmes, the one Moriarty wants and the want Irene wants to meet. Let's face it, she doesn't want to see Sherlock dead. He is already precious for him. 

Informations? Perhaps but at least, there are other ways to get what they want. But Irene is like that, she wants Sherlock safe. 

Irene saves Sherlock against powerful people.

VI) Saving people

VI.1) Sherlock on friends


Well, Sherlock saves in the same time Mrs Hudson, Lestrade and John. He doesn't save John alone but all his friends. Moreover, he covers Molly's help too. 

Sherlock acts in that scene to be sure Moriarty won't see someone helps Sherlock at all. In addition, Sherloc provides to Mycroft useful informations. 

It's not like Sherlock does it for John's sake but for the sake of everyone. This scene shows how much Sherlock has evolved as a human. It's not done for love but values!

He knows the field, he knows people will help him and he has to face one man. He doesn't do it alone. He has allies.

VI.2) Sherlock on Irene


Well, Sherlock acts by himself here. He isn't forced to save Irene. He can let her die because she manipulated him, she fooled him and she made fun of him. 

I have talked a lot about that scene with my brother and my mother. We have all agreed Irene and Sherlock are deeply in love wth each other. Okay Irene was paid but it doesn't show Sherlock hating Irene. 

He saves Irene in a completely unknown area and he has to face several people in the same time. I am quite sure he gathered informations very quickly and he has to be very discreet.

Sherlock acts alone in that scene. He can't trust anyone to save Irene even his brother or John. He prefers letting them know she is dead to protect her. 

I think it's a matter of trust and he thinks it's a shame to let Irene dying. He wants her to be alive. It seems he can't bear her death twice. It would destroy him!

VII) Sexual tension and kissing scene

VII.1) John and Sherlock

Where do you see those scenes? There aren't any kind of scenes like those between Sherlock and John at all. It's pure friendship. Sherlock is just a bit clumsy when it deals with showing emotions and John has difficulties to show him his admiration.

Because it's admiration, not  romantic love. Admiration is different: it means you are impressed in a very good way by someone. Sherlock loves attention: he is a bit of narcissist. 

But Sherlock doesn't show any romantic feeling for John at all. Sherlock doesn't show his feelings to John even if they are friends. Sherlock believes feelings are pure weakness. 

Besides, John and Sherlock don't share very hot night. As Benedict and Martin says, there ir pure friendship. 

VII.2) Irene and Sherlock


Irene and Sherlock are alone in the living-room. Sherlock plays violin and the fire seems to symbolize love here. There is dark and light and it's the perfect atmosphere for a romantic scene. 


Indeed, Sherlock and Irene show different aspects of each other in that scene. They are more open and they don't feel the need to speak at all. 

Sherlock and Irene don't need to speak to one other to be understood. They communicate thanks to their bodies. Bodies betray them a lot!

Irene puts her hand on Sherlock's and Sherlock takes her pulse. He analyzes her to be sure she doesn't lie about her feelings for him. Sherlock hates lies and I have the clue Sherlock is relieved to see she doesn't lie. 

I bet this why he lets Irene kiss him. Because he is sure of Irene's sincerity. Sherlock is very close to Irene in that scene. They are so open to each other. 

There are so many things we can say about that scene. Irene and Sherlock are complex creatures. They are amazing together. 



Conclusion


I don't see where do you see any sexual tension between John and Sherlock. In my huge opinion, Sherlock and Irene is canon, not fanon. Besides, creators, producers, actors, everyone have promoted the season 2 with SherEne, not JohnLock. The crew don't think there is anything between John and Sherlock. Homosexuality is a pure joke about our society. It shouldn't be taken virtually.

Bored...

Boring day. All those examinations suck seriously. I'm quite tired and I can't really get back to write because of that. I would enjoy to have some holidays too and I would be able to spend some time with my boyfriend. I'm quite kucky to have such a patient and smiling boyfriend but sometimes he's missing my presence.

I miss my parents too, I don't see them during the week but just in week-end. My friends from university have organized a party but I won't go to it, I'm quite depressed. I'm quite glad they do it but it would no for me. It'll the first time I won't join a party.

When I'm with my friends, I tend to smile, I don't want to worry them about it and it's quite hard.

And most important: I miss my cat.

Great new!

Hey, everyone!

I'm voted as substitute at my university's governing body.

My labor union has presented a list of people in its list. They have put me in second position. So I'll be substituting. It's awesome.

A regent's substituting! It's so fantastic! I'm feeling way better right now! I was stressing for this election and I'm glad my labor union has got some seats. It helps to feel better when you have a lot of examinations.

I'll be taught how to behave in front of important people as teachers or statesmen. I'm quite new in this labor union but they'll help to improve my confidence and my way of speaking in front of important people.

They'll teach me how to convince those people and how to be composed in front of them. It's nice to have another way to study. It's another way to educate myself.

It'll help me for my future job as a teacher since I would like to be a teacher in biology.

I can't wait for the next now! It's so exciting! I'm really happy and we have some party after those elections.

Well have a nice evening all!

Bye! ^^

Short introducing.

Welcome here!

I'm French, I love manga, music and reading. I've a huge interest in science and I may post some of my reviews about my own lessons. It would be enjoyable.

I would post in French and in English. So don't be stunned to see another language.

I enjoy yaoi, het and yuri as well. I'm quite open-minded when it deals wih homosexuality. It's a very interesting topic and I know myself some gays and lesbians, they are all nice people.

Favorite mangas: Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, DNAngel, Professeur Eiji.

I think Bleach is the best of all. It deals with fencing, swords and knight and princess. I think the main reason I read it it's beause of all polar's effects and the tense along the manga.

Then comes One Piece. I enjoy pirates' stories. they are all enjoyable. Even if One Piece allows us to show us some strangeness. It's one of the best manga I've ever read.

Naruto is becoming seriously weird after seeing current chapters. Even if it's thefirst shônen I've ever read, it's getting boring with time. Especially because of Sasuke. I wish Sakura and Naruto will end up together. It would be awesome.

DNAngel. My very first manga at least. I've tried some other before but they weren't that interesting and well-drawn. It has a special meaning for me. I would enjoy to see Satoshi and risa together at the very end.

Professeur Eiji. Very last discovery. I've been searching for a manga for adult and I found it. I love the way the author deals with rapes, drugs, suicide and prostitution. I enjoy Mika and Eiji of course. I was disappointed to not see MikaEiji but it's still my favorite pairing. I would write some One-Shots for the two of them.
