Recs and Reviews
"On the surface this is an Obi-Wan in Jeopardy! adventure plot. Underneath the surface, it's a fascinating character study of Qui-Gon Jinn. Utterly enjoyable on all levels."[2]
"I've said it a million times; I'm a sucker for hurt/comfort, especially when Obi-Wan is the wounded party, and Qui-Gon's soul is revealed in his raw need to help his Padawan. analise's characterization is superb, as is her knack for expressing emotions between the characters. There are chilling scenes here, and it's one of the best Q/O fics I've read."[3]
"I adore analise's writing, and this fic shows exactly why that is so. It has a unique plot structure and good tension despite starting off with a rather common plot (kidnapped Jedi is quite common in the land of Hurt/Comfort fics), great characterization, and most importantly, the powerful emotional conflicts that leave me shaken after every reading. Yes, I agree, angst IS good."[4]– Joy daydreams
"A hurt/comfort Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan fic with a style slightly reminiscent of Torch's quintessential masterpiece, Crystallize. It's a heavy but beautiful mixture of angst and adventure with yummy slashy trysts to boot. I highly admire her extraordinary ability for superb characterization. ;p Highly recommended. One of the best I've read so far."[5]
Analise's summary says "When Obi-Wan is kidnapped, Qui-Gon stretches the boundaries of both his duty and his discipline to find him in the midst of a diplomatic crisis". It's certainly that, as well as having one of the most traumatic endings of any fanfic I've ever read. This is good stuff![6]
Fate throws our boys a curve ball and its up to Qui-Gon to save Obi-Wan's life ... if he can. If I tell you any more I'll spoil it, just RUN to read this fic! Oh my GOD I nearly died![7]
