Summary: Jedi life-bonds and the end result, take one.
Their bodies lay somewhere entwined together, but their souls, clasped in each other, were preparing for a journey.
"Are you ready? Is it time?" they asked, each mind embracing the other.
"Yes, beloved, yes," they chorused, shivering with delight.
Reaching out, two powerful minds united, they bade farewell to their dearest ones, brushing their minds with uttermost tender love.
"Farewell, farewell," they said. "Remember, we will always be close to you."
Far away, Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Master, felt their touch and whispered a few words to his family, inviting them to watch from afar as the bonded Jedi joined the Force.
This would be a bittersweet occasion for those left behind, but all sweet for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
Their bodies, almost too weak to move, as their life-forces bled out into the greater Force, supported each other in a loving embrace, while their souls, twined together like a double helix, so tight they could not be pried apart, laughed at the joy of complete union with the Force.
Anakin smiled softly, glad of their joy.
And as simply and quietly as falling in love, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan became one with the Force.
Somewhere far, far away, a new star exploded into being from the heart of a nebula.

Summary: Jedi life-bonds and the end result, take two.
As soon as the Sith, sliced cleanly in half, had fallen into the pit, Obi-Wan made his way over to his master's side and collapsed next to him.
"Don't shut me out," he whispered frantically.
"It will hurt, Obi-Wan."
"I can't live without you anyway. Please let me in--oh love, in death or life, we said..."
He felt Qui-Gon sigh, letting go of his shields, and suddenly horrible pain washed over him, twisting his insides, but oh, blessed relief, Qui-Gon was with him also; they were together even in this....
Nothing was said. Their bodies fighting a losing battle with the pain, their minds now connected in the deepest of ways, and they knew, this time they would never separate.
Much later, when some from the Queen's army came to look for them, they found the Jedi entwined together, lying dead on the floor, vague smiles on their faces, only one bearing any sign of a physical wound.
