Why this must be read:
Although I love and adore the Star Wars films, I had never read any Star Wars fanfiction until I joined![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van (unless you count various movie spin-off
books lol) so this new addiction is something I blame all the previous Star Wars reccers for. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And on to the rec. I'm thrilled to be able to rec one of my favourite fanfiction authors. torch's particular genius enables her to move from fandom to fandom with credibility and she convincingly evokes the Star Wars universe in what she describes as a PWP. In honesty, I think there's more going on that just fantastically written sex - she has an interesting view of the way that Jedi powers might work and contrasts the different approaches of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in such a way that both their approaches to the Force are legitimate but subtely different. The Master/Padawan relationship is also highly convincing and reflects more as a partnership with Qui-Gon subtely directing Obi-Wan rather than teaching him.
What makes this story stand out is the astonishingly lush descriptive writing which has the same sensual feel to it when torch is describing the physical surroundings and setting the scene as it does during the sex. This is a story that can be read over and over again without losing its freshness. It's a jewal, devoid of the angst or darkness or pain that these two characters go through in so much fanfiction. I love a good angsty fic but it's nice to see them come together without death, destruction and the end of the world.
Obi-Wan glared back. "Oh, *come* on," he said. "You know perfectly well that I've wanted you forever."
"Forever?" The glare lost something of its force.
"Well, ever since you performed the five tan'kaen morning rituals without your shirt on, that time on the coast, on Mon Calamari." He sent an image of that moment, and his own
reaction to it, and had the pleasure of seeing Qui-Gon's eyes widen. The air between them sparked and crackled with force-driven lust, lust-driven force. "There are better things to do with this than to waste it in meditation."
There was a pause as Qui-Gon was silent and struggled, Obi-Wan could see him struggle, with the need to move. Obi-Wan held his breath. *Please. Say yes.*
