Recs and Reviews
I loved this story the first time I read it way back in 1999. It hit all my buttons, I liked the story, the characters, the setting, and I still do.The title links to the story – control of a world, and control of one’s destiny. Obi-Wan, too, is caught up with matters of control, since he’s realised how much he desires his Master. Of course, he doesn’t realise Qui-Gon is battling with the same sorts of desire – though we know he too will eventually loose his control -- it’s one of those lovely UST stories.
It also has a plot, which is neat, and alternating non-central character viewpoints providing background information to tie in the history of the situation, which is again something I like to see done. There is drama, an interesting storyline, and some of the best on-board-ship sex you’re likely to find. I read it now and find one or two things that slightly annoy me - the repeated use of the word “youth” when talking about Obi-Wan, for example, and an occasional rare, but not terribly critical, viewpoint slip - yet on the whole it reads as well now as it did then. [...]
Note to MA archivist the version on M/A contains errors (actually, the one I found was in the middle of my quotation) hence my use of the other archived version.[1]
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon struggle against their instincts in analise's wonderful tale of desire and repression.[3]
