I need to start a post that is simply my favorite lines from fanfic.

Holland." He stood, holding his hand across the desk to his mentor. "I thought you were still in New York, dealing with that little matter for the Giovanellis." A little matter of their undead godfather getting busted -- again -- for tax evasion. Some things just never changed.
Holland returned the handshake, and added a paternal smile that creased his well-worn face and made him look like someone's grandfather. "It's all taken care of; Don Giovanelli will shortly be, ah, resting in peace once more. Hello, Lilah."

Finally, he looked up, “I believe that true love,” he said, taking a deep breath, “is the willingness of two souls to sacrifice enough of themselves to complete each other.”

One of my friends is having a last actor standing poll going around, and I had started a 'If X battled Y who would win Villain poll on Twitter. Together they gave me the idea to do this. Basically, I have several match ups. Round 1 Winners will battle each other in Round 2 etc. So Here we go. Round One. I'm leaving this public so if you want to invite your friends to vote, feel free to do so. These are all villains, no heroes, and most are ones I'm familiar with (as poll person it is my right and also in case someone wonders who someone is I can actually tell them). So sorry, no Twilight Villains since I stopped reading after book one and have (as of yet) managed to escape the movies despite my mother and sister trying to get me to do so.
Also, you may talk about the match-ups in the comments section but be nice to one another. This is for fun.
You can also suggest Villains that should have been on the list and who would be a good match-up.
Directions: Please vote for who you think would win the battle between the two in each section. The one with the most votes at the end of voting will carry on to the next round.
Round One (Voting goes on till July 13th (That's Tuesday):

1. Qui-gon survives the fight with Maul and trains Anakin, but now must deal with the aftermath of how he treated Obi-wan who is a Knight himself now. Yoda is concerned about the damaged relationship between Qui-gon and his former Apprentice. I believe Obi-wan and Anakin talk to each other every once and awhile though.
2. A Jedi Apprentice AU where Obi-wan was sent away since he did not get chosen. He is captured by some pirates (I think) and forced to use his Jedi powers for them. They also get him hooked on some kind of drug to keep him from running away. Qui-gon manages to rescue him, but damage has been done and they must deal with Obi-wan's addiction as well as the issues that came from years of being captive.

- EDIT: It wasn't the same fic. But this one started out the same. I can't seem to find a longer version, so *shrugs*
Both are gen to my knowledge. I remember in the second one Obi-wan had longer hair and there was a big scene where after being taunted about it, he starts to cut it off.
