The Choosing by Master Eliz-mar Von (R)
Fandom: STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE
Pairing: Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan
Author on LJ: ????
Author Website: It says on the story's webpage that she has one, but I'm not sure where it is. But most (if not all) of her stories are archived at the Master & Apprentice archive.
Why this must be read: This story is the perfect balm for anyone who's ever been frustrated by the Jedi Apprentice novels' depiction of how the Jedi choose their padawans. It's an alternate universe where initiates actually have a say in their futures and play a significant role in choosing who their masters will be. Qui-Gon, wounded by the betrayal of his previous padawan Xanatos, has determined to never take on another padawan. But the Force has other ideas, and makes its wishes known through an initiate named Obi-Wan who is determined to befriend him.
I absolutely adore this Jedi society as Eliz-mar describes it, filled with such love and comfort and nurturing. The story is pre-slash, yet completely satisfying (which you won't hear me saying often). Eliz-mar's writing is always a joy to read.
