Recs and Reviews
I know there was just the big thing on MA and so everyone's probably just read this, but it was going to be my first rec (was planning to ask Ruth to unlock it and everything) and since this is supposed to be a resource that people can come back to whenever they're looking for something to read, or for someone new to the fandom, or whatever, I'm reccing it anyway. [...]I love AUs. Love, love, love. And I do like teacher/student provided it can be done convicingly, which this is. Ben is mature enough that you can see why Jon would fall for him, but he still acts enough like a kid that it's not unbelievable. There's angst, but not the sort of piled-on mess you so often find, where it's obvious that the author is just trying to draw things out by having one misunderstanding after another. It's good angst, realistic, not forced, and it doesn't overwhelm everything else.
Just a note, this fic is finished. There may be an epilogue someday, but it's essentially complete as it is. [...]
I like my fic to have a happy ending, but I really like when it's a happy ending that they have to work for, and Slacker definitely fits that category.[1]
This is a wonderful AU, with Qui as a high school teacher and Obi as a student. However, the story really stands on its own; it doesn't need the Q/O background to be enjoyable. It's realistic and heart-breaking, with both characters depicted as flawed and human. They deal realistically with the problematic nature of a teacher-student affair, and so I enjoyed it despite my squick.[2]– Emma at Emma Grant's Fiction
Note Okay, I really love this series. It's an amazing modern-day setting for Q/o in a teacher-student relationship. It's absolutely fascinating going into these characters that, when it gets down to it, really don't resemble Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan all the much. Hilary and Ruth make these boys completely their own. I strongly reccomend you read this series because it's just fucking awesome. (Rating NC-17, Warning chan, Alternate Reality)[3]– isolabela at homology_cubed
