Recs and Reviews
M/A is chockful of sadness. Obi-Wan wants love, is rebuffed by Qui-Gon, who worries about the age difference, the imbalance of power, the wrongness of it all. Qui-Gon wants love, is downcast by Obi-Wan's promiscuity, his beauteous Padawan's gleeful acceptance of his inner-sex-fiend and the probable Jedi Council problems. Not to mention the legal ones, if a certain Padawan isn't eighteen yet. Poor fellows. In what fandom used to call a "wallow," here are six sad, sad stories. Warnings galore for character agony and sometimes death. [...] The second one has been recc'd on lists for some time, but here is one more: The Ceremony, by Glass Houses. It is a determined Qui-Gon who cares for his wounded Padawan beyond all reason after the Zabrak apprentice nearly kills Obi-Wan in the Theed generator room. Qui-Gon can defeat Maul, but not his own pitiful optimism. Five-tissue alert, some terrific time-spanning guest stars.[1]
Being an aficionado of tragedies, this story was one of the first that I read in that wrenching genre with the Qui/Obi pairing. It surprised me in that it came closest of all the fics that I've read through the years to moving me to tears. It surprised me in that, since many years had passed since I had been in any fandom at all, that the writing was exquisitely tender and the emotions true. So this was what the internet had to offer? Wow. I'm sold.[2]
