Why this must be read: This is a lovely AU, about Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon coming together in a world where they only meet after Obi-Wan is knighted. Nix has a beautifully eloquent style, one that reminds me of the Jedi Order itself--calm, flowing, graceful, but full of fire when needed. It's a pretty long story, most of it about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan getting to know each other and getting closer, but there does end up being plot beyond the romance. Really, this is just a gorgeous story, one of the first Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan fics I read, and one that still always makes me smile.
The younger man nodded and they settled into the rhythm of the exchange. This time both Jedi sought to prolong the engagement, each pulling back when the opportunity came to deliver a 'killing' blow. Eventually they wound down to a neutral stop, both men sweating freely and controlling their breathing carefully.
Qui-Gon saw as he powered down his lightsaber, that there were a pair of Knights waiting for the ring. "My apologies," he said, retrieving his cloak, "I had not realized we had run over our time." Turning to Obi-Wan, "My thanks, Knight Kenobi."
"My pleasure, Master Jinn," Obi-Wan said formally. For a moment Qui-Gon missed the irreverent young man who had joked with the 'legendary Qui-Gon Jinn'. The he saw the twinkle in the other man's eye and knew that the formality was a cover, a technique applied at will. He smiled, just a little, bowed and left the knights to their sparring.
As the door opened and Qui-Gon stepped through, he couldn't resist glancing back at his sparring partner. Obi-Wan had been cornered by the two knights, doubtless they were grilling him on his encounter with the Master. His skin still shone with sweat, moisture darkening his hair from sandy blonde until it showed a distinct reddish tint. Qui-Gon caught his breath, then tore his gaze away and hurried back to his rooms.
