Sands in the Hourglass by Aeshna (NC-17)

Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Beru Whitesun Lars
Length: ~2000 words
Author on LJ: I don't know that she has one.
Author's website: FFN Profile
Why this fic must be read:

The van's next stop is a site devoted to the pairing of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Beru Whitesun Lars. Yes. The Sepia Side of the Force. Sands in the Hourglass by Aeshna hails from the years of hot and heavy speculation about the prequels, its plot springing from then-canon that Owen was Obi-Wan's brother. Beru, therefore, is Obi-Wan's sister-in-law and her marriage is in trouble. Two years after Order 66, Obi-Wan lives alone in his hut, heavily assaulted in the Force by the still-ongoing deaths of Jedi. He suffers, she comforts, they soothe each other in a very basic way. The sex is hot and heavy as well; Beru comes to life in a manner that you'd not thought before. It's a finely characterized adulterous soap opera, as its title suggests.

I always loved Smitty's writing. Her early stories of Obi-Wan and Anakin were absolutely charming.

Thank you for introducing a whole new set of stories, and memories of old ones.

I'm so glad that this link has given enjoyment, but I've just heard from her and this one isn't hers --- gah. Need to track it down after work and fix the refs.

It's now corrected and I'm feeling slightly less lame than before. Here's the link back to Smittyworld and yes, her stories are charming. I really liked the Malastare stories and my, that's an impressive array of fandoms to write in.

There are two Smittys. I was orignially confused by that too. And I think the other Smitty were actually two sisters originally.

This is me, being too serious.

Ah, two of them and three people writing with the same name, yes, confusing. This is meta-ing, but the internet author names, given that internet fanfics have only been around for 10-15 years or so, are they changed so often because it is Lowly Fanfic and Unworthy of building a readership base that is familiar with just one name? I'm thinking that 'zines did it, too, but it's been so long ago ... *creaky joints*
