Cimorene.net Why this must be read: I love stories set in the future in which Qui-Gon survived TPM. Here the established relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan is seen through a series of missing scenes as the events of Episode III unfold. It’s loving and hot, and somewhat bittersweet.
Excerpt:
Qui-Gon watches from a distance as the man who was once his Padawan sends away his own Padawan with Senator Palpatine and a stately throng of welcoming senators. Many years have passed since the two of them found Ani living as a slave on Tatooine. Obi-Wan is now a mature and respected member of the Jedi Council and the Order's best field agent--at least until Anakin's braid is cut.
.
Qui-Gon thinks about Padmé and her secret for a moment and then deliberately banishes the thoughts from his mind--they can wait--and steps out of the shadows of the doorway where he's been standing.
Obi-Wan's face, lined and bearded, tanned leathery by the suns of many worlds, is still beautiful and the most living thing Qui-Gon has ever seen when it splits in his youthful grin.
