Recs and Reviews

The sadness of a planet’s fate weighs heavy on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, but it can also bring them closer together. This is an AU set after Obi-Wan's knighting when he and Qui-Gon are new lovers. It's powerful and passionate and shows us how diffucult the life of a Jedi can be.

Excerpt:
Qui-Gon broke the kiss and raised his head, sighing and smiling faintly. "Oh, my Obi-Wan." He stepped back, shaking his head. "You do... amazing things to me. But I know your pain too well; I will not press you." He bowed his head, the nod of a Jedi to an equal, and moved away.

"Wait." Obi-Wan caught his master's arm. "Don't go. Don't hold yourself away from me, Qui-Gon." The knight looked up into those blue eyes, eyes that saw him for what he was: headstrong, emotional, constantly battling his own failings. He was reminded again, though, that the only difference between himself and Qui-Gon was the experience of years. Qui-Gon hid his pain well and released it more readily, or at least rationalized it away, but it was there now, nevertheless.[1]
