Recs and Reviews

demi-gods and hungry ghosts, by cori lannam, is the best in this fandom i've read. set during/after episode iii, obviously no spoilers, obi pov. bitter, aching, quiet, somewhat confusing, measured and cautiously glorious.[1]

Obi-Wan faces painful choices in this story, yet remains true to his duty and never gives up hope, especially when it comes to love. It’s quiet, bitter-sweet, stunning and powerful. A story about love and second chances. It was among the first fics I read in the fandom that pulled me in.[2]

Set years after the events of TPM, in which Qui-Gon survived, Anakin has turned, but not before driving a wedge between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. This is Cori's version of the prequels and I think her best work. It's gritty and sensitive, bitter and sweet, a story about love and second chances. This story was originally published in the Q/O fanzine Living Force II.[3]
