Recs and Reviews

Randomalia breaks your heart and then glues it together in the most beautiful way. Probably my favorite Qui-Gon lives fic.[1]

[...]I am blown away. The low simmering of angst that is woven through this left a feeling of melancholy, which was highlighted by the occasional pang of true emotional anguish. Your Obi-Wan is lovely; he is self-aware, and we can actually see him grow with his experiences. [...][2]

Gorgeous writing, dry banter, painful pining, resolution. What more could one want?[3]

I loved the feel of this fic. The quiet melancholy intercepted with splashes of humour and joy. The ending made me smile, but it also made me sad. Just knowing that this will all end in blood and the barren loneliness of a desert made my heart ache.[4]
