Title: Danse de l'inconscient by Binky (NC-17)
Fandom: Star Wars Franchise
Author: Binky (BinkyTorture@ikillclowns.com)
Author website: unknown
Author on lj: unknown
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon
Rating: NC-17
Why this must be read:
The summary goes something like this: The boys are grumpy after a string of tough missions, and get packed off to another Temple and that's exactly what happens. Except that the Temple in question is on a lovely tropical planet where the general idea is to kick back and relax. Although Obi-Wan is terribly in favour of it, Qui-Gon nobly suffers through the sun, sea and sand in the same manner of someone being asked to holiday in the Death Star. Added to this, they are both convinced that their interest in the other is sadly one-sided.
I adore this story. I've read it over and over again and it never fails to make me giggle. The pov switches between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and Binky has a sly poke at both of them while capturing their characters perfectly. I adore Holiday Obi-Wan and Grumpy Qui-Gon and I especially like how something that Obi-Wan comments on is then reflected in the following Qui-Gon pov and vice versa. The tone is light and humourous but there is a freshness to this story which rewards rereading.
Highly reccommended.
I told Bant we were going to Pergara, and she actually punched me. Hard. I can't remember precisely what she said, busy as I was rubbing the pain from my shoulder, but I know the phrase "lucky bastard" was in there somewhere.
Why don't I feel lucky?
Oh, I know the Pergara Temple is renowned for its calm beauty, etc. And I don't mind helping them with the archives.
What I mind is being stuck there with a surly Master.
Big hairy mort that he is, my Master much prefers cooler climes to the tropics. He'll spend every second of his spare time in quarters, reading his damn books and complaining loudly to anyone who'll listen--namely me--about how hot and sticky it is and why can't they adjust the circulators to a more civilized temperature? I believe he would actually prefer
a mission to Hoth over this one.
Considering how short his temper's been over the last year, this can only make things worse.

The Council are sending us to the Temple on Pergara. Ostensibly, it is to help convert their massive, ancient archives to disk storage. One of the underlying reasons, if I know my former master at all, is to allow myself and my Padawan a bit of recovery time from our last ten cycles of nearly non-stop missions, none of them easy, most of them hazardous.
I've spent far too much time in the healers ward of late, as has Obi-Wan.
I believe Obi-Wan will benefit from this enforced sabbatical far more than I. His temper, one of the faults he struggles with daily, has become shorter over the last year or so, harsh missions notwithstanding. Since reaching the age of majority last year, my Padawan has transformed from bright, sunny teenager into quiet, moody young man. I hope the tranquility of the Pergara Temple will help him find his old self again. The Temple overlooks the shores of the Linneshan Sea, so perhaps the balmy weather and tropical setting will lighten his mood.
I must remember to bring plenty of books.
