Pilgrim Soul and A Heaven In Hell's Despair by MJ Lee (NC-17)

Fandom: STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE

Pairing: Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan

Why this must be read: This is an extremely seductive AU in which the Roman General Quintus Gaius meets a young Celtic slave named Benion. There's something inherently appealing about a young and innocent slave!Obi-Wan, and MJ gives both him and Quintus (known in other realities as Qui-Gon) a depth I've rarely seen in fanfic, complete with faults and misunderstandings that get in the way of their growing relationship. She has a beautiful way with words that drew me into Benion's world and lingered with me long after I finished reading.

Pilgrim Soul

and its sequel

A Heaven in Hell's Despair

Hey, Rushlight! Great recommendation -- I too love this story. Does MJLee still write, do you know? I really like her style.

Hi, Paddy! I've been wondering the same thing myself. Her website hasn't been updated in quite a while as far as I can tell, which is a shame. I love everything she's written and am still waiting for the sequel to "A Heaven In Hell's Despair". Or anything else she decides to write, actually. I'm not picky. ;)
