Recs and Reviews
This was one of the first stories I found in TPM fandom, and it's a three-part tale of Master-cannot-resist-Padawan. What makes it more than just a standard noncon PWP (is there such a beast?) is the twist of getting Obi-Wan's POV as well as the resolution in part 3. The smut is hot, the characterizations are pushed right to the edge of what we're willing to accept from Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in order to make the story work, and we're given a believable resolution to the story in part 3. Mace Windu's guest role in part 3 is especially good; neither interloper nor villain, he's definitely got the strength of character we expect from Mace. [...]Noncon PWPs have a tendency to have little to no aftereffects. This one definitely doesn't fit that category; the initial event has many repercussions, involving Obi-Wan trying to take responsibility for what's happened to him, a consensual relationship, and, eventually, Obi-Wan's studies suffering and an intervention by Mace and Yoda. There's also back history between Qui-Gon and his master (at this point, we didn't know that Count Dooku was Qui-Gon's master, although I think the story would work just as well if not better if Dooku were the master in question). There's a strong thread of healing through the last part, forgiveness struggled with and reasons given for emotional responses. And while the ending may be a bit too neat and too healing, it's probably necessary for the happy ending to feel believable.[1]
What would Qui-gon do if he honestly thought this was his only chance... With or Without Consent by Rushlight. Rich description, but characters so different from onscreen I have to think of it as an a/u.. Try the mirror story, With or Without Consent (mirror version), or the sequel, With or Without Consent III[2]
These three are painful, but I still think that they are some of the best TPM that I've ever read. With or Without Consent, With or Without Consent: mirror version, and With or Without Consent: The Resolution by Rushlight tell the story of desire pushed beyond acceptable limits, and how love can heal. Very nicely done.[3]
This series is not for those who want sweetness and light, but will be fascinating to those would like to see an example of a very twisted Qui-Gon and a very forgiving Obi-Wan. The author takes on a serious challenge here: can Obi-Wan move past the worst thing that a Master can do, when his Master does it? Do not read this if you are sensitive and make sure to read the warnings first.[4]
