Recs and Reviews
I've re-read these three stories so many times I can't count. (And I've been bugging Tem-ve for a sequel ever since I've known her, I think.)As ever with Tem-ve, the world she creates in this series is athmospheric, vivid, sensual and wonderfully colourful. The narrator voice - old Gaucho Qui - is spot on, entirely different from Tem-ve's normal narrator voice and yet very much her style. The atmosphere is dense and sucks me right in every time I read it. For me, he series unites the best of a good AU (characters who are their own people and yet retain qualities that make them recognisably Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan) with the flair of a very original piece of writing.
Also, the series is incredibly sensual and wonderfully, sizzlingly hot.[1]
Two Days from Junin [...] This is an AU set in Argentina. Qui-Gon(Quijon) is a Gaucho and Obi-Wan(Obi-Juan, lol) a city-born poet roughing it for a little while. What enchants me about this story is the style in which it is written. It's rough and candid and beautifully descriptive - it reminds me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez in a small way.Also, I like how Quijon is simultaneously annoyed and drawn to Obi-Juan. However, when it all comes down to it, Quijon is a very simplistic man who doesn't need to spend a whole lot of time in quiet debate over what he wants.
The sequels are not as good as the first in my opinion - they get kind of strange and cheesy. But I'll provide links anyway.[2]
