Recs and Reviews

This story was one of the first stories I thought of when volunteering to rec for tpm_flashback. It combines a lot of elements that I love: Q/O first-time, sensual writing, Jedi who express themselves through art, a wordless declaration of love. I read it several years ago, yet it still resonates with me. From the first line, I was completely drawn in: "The night I became Obi-Wan's lover was also the first night I discovered that he was a musician, and the second revelation was almost as much of a surprise and a delight as the first." And then, the ending is such a bittersweet twist to it that it stays with you forever.[1]
