Recs and Reviews
There are many Emu bunnies; this is one of my favourite offspring. I wrote a prologue and offered it up to the list, and Kass stuck her fork in it. Wrote a wonderful Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan/Xanatos threesome, with lovely winding, deep and interesting characterisation, particularly of Xanatos. It's the interactions of these three that really lift the story into something special. The plot is kind of background, and Anakin's the (canonically) annoying kid from TPM. (Authors really need to age Anakin and add a lot of character to him in order for me to give a shit about Anakin. This doesn't.) This is a long story (304k, yay!) which diverges from TPM when a third man - Xanatos - joins the battle against Maul. Of course, the ongoing battle against darkness compells the three to stick together and it's all complicated by Obi-Wan's resentment over Qui-Gon's rejection and Xanatos's scars from his last brush with Palpatine. Qui-Gon is oblivious and wise by turns and occasionally withering. Obi-Wan is stubborn and sassy. Xanatos is sexy and irretrievably bad. Time spent living in each others' pockets finds them all being far more honest with each other than any of them really planned. This is the sort of story I love best: all the drama is simply in interesting characters bantering with each other.[1]
