Recs and Reviews

Jedi Warrior Bond Series by GM -- This is GEN fic but it's GEN in the sort of the way that doesn't really make me try all that hard to see the slashy possibilities. It's very long with many (complete, stand alone) stories making up the entire arc. The stories maybe rely a bit much on h/c for my usual taste but, regardless, I love this SO much. I'm a sucker for a great bonding fic and, really, I'm very much in love with GM's Obi-Wan -- he rocks.
