Deep Sky by Teluekh (PG)
Fandom: Star Wars
Pairing: OC/Qui-Gon, but not central
Length: Four chapters

Author Website:teluekh
Why this must be read:
This is a very atmospheric story, though the author might kick me for that choice of adjective. (So might the reader, once you figure out why.) Qui-Gon and Dooku visit Serenno, Dooku's home planet, for reasons relating to Dooku's family. Teluekh plays more wildly with the nature of the planet than the movies and more than a good part of the EU, and the culture of it is just as deep and perhaps as potentially smothering. Make your own judgment.
Her portrayal of the relationship between Qui-Gon and Dooku is intense, both of them very deeply invested in it -- or at least in its ultimate purpose -- and definitely caring, without making it overtly affectionate in the way many authors choose or default to. Dooku is a demanding teacher, more so because he demands independent operation as much as he does obedience.
Over the course of the story, Qui-Gon sleeps with Dooku's mother, makes a new friend, undergoes a coming-of-age ritual, and even manages to surprise Dooku once or twice. Dooku has his own problems.
