Why this must be read:
For those of you who haven't read the Jedi Apprentice books, Xanatos is a cool glass of water. Tall and slim with long black hair, a lot of fen imagine him as Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. He was Qui-Gon's apprentice before Obi-Wan, and he turned to the dark side. Son of a corrupt king, he witnessed Qui-Gon killing his father, and snapped. He killed himself rather than be captured, but fandom knows how to work around something small like death, no?
Bruck Chun is described as brown skinned with shocking white hair. Fangirls assume *all* his hair is white, which makes for a nice visual. Bruck was Obi-Wan's nemesis when they were Initiates trying to become Padawans. Chun was turned to the dark side by Xanatos, and ended up dying after attacking Obi-Wan and Obi's fishy friend Bant. Again, a small matter that is easily worked around.
If you think there's a ton of dark, dramatic fic dealing with Qui/Xan, Xan/Obi, Obi/Bruck, you'd be right. A ton of PWPs as well. Alex's fic has dark moments, but is more in the spirit of ANH, a rousing, intricate story that grips you right away and propels you into hyperspace. A ripping good yarn. Oh, and with sex. Lots of sex. Yum.
