Why this must be read:

The Angstapalooza continues with this heartbreaker from Sleeps with Coyotes (AKA “Ladonna King” at Master Apprentice), in which Qui-Gon finds himself in a most unexpected and unpleasant afterlife.

Obi-Wan was dreaming of him, of watching the fight, watching him die, and it was the most bitter jest of all when he felt the Sith's lightsaber skewer him once more. Staggering, he slumped to the bed, strangely unwilling to snatch his hand away and give up even this devastating contact. He understood...he understood everything.

It was Obi-Wan...Obi-Wan's nightmares that kept him in such torment, Obi-Wan's fears that orchestrated his pain, all unknowing. The blood-soaked cord that had drawn him here had once been brilliant white, a bond unacknowledged while he bided his time, arrogantly certain he would have all the time in the world to explore its depths when Obi-Wan was ready. Infinitely stronger than the training bond, it had turned like a viper in his hand, because this, this unfinished need, was what had kept him here, chained to Obi-Wan's side. Where he had always wanted to be, but not like this...Force, not like this...

That was my reaction, too, when I first saw it. Luckily its owner, laurakaye (http://www.livejournal.com/users/laurakaye), was kind enough to give me permission to use it for the Angstapalooza.
