Knight Moves by McKay (NC-17)
So, I'm Kenovay, and I'll be reccing The Phantom Menace this month. And what to expect? Well, no Qui/Obi. Forget Qui/Obi, and open your minds to the wonderfulness that is Obi-Wan/Darth Maul. No, I really am serious.
Fandom: STAR WARS: tPM
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Darth Maul

Why this must be read:
It's long, and it's good. Maul/Obi, as you might expect, is a very rare pairing, but even so it can be said that most of the fics are fairly dark. I combine a Maul/Obi love with a refusal to read dark!fics (most of the time). So "Knight Moves" is perfect. It also has a slightly more unusual plot: Maul becomes a Jedi.
He did not lower his weapon. I did not move. He wanted to kill me. He would use the slightest provocation as an excuse to strike me down. I was not yet ready to die.
Up close, I was better able to see the changes in him. He is thinner. Gaunt. Almost wasted. His hands trembled, but whether from physical weakness or emotion, I could not tell. His eyes are haunted. I can imagine by what. Or perhaps I should say by whom. I saw the loathing in his face when he looked at me. I could feel his hatred roiling against me. Once I would have savored it. Reveled in it. No longer.
"You're dead!" he snarled.
"No."
I remained still. I did not want to provoke him into acting in haste. That would have proven unpleasant for both of us.
Well. Unpleasant for me. I cannot say he would have found the prospect of skewering me unpleasant.
"How is this possible?" he demanded. "I killed you! I saw you die!"
His anger was directed at me, but I was pleased to see it. If he can feel anger, he has not become deadened to the point of apathy. The spark of life I saw within him on Naboo is not extinguished. Merely dimmed. There is hope of rekindling it once more.
