“Grounded by Lightning” by Wednesday (R)
Fandom: STAR WARS: TPM
Pairing: Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon; references to Obi-Wan/OFC, Qui-Gon/various
Author on LJ: wednesday_mc
Author Website: In My Wildest Dreams
Why this must be read:
I could have sworn this story had already been recced. Oh well, that means I get to do it!
When the end of a love affair plunges Qui-Gon into depression—“None of my lovers have ever stayed. I have tried for hours, on my knees, to make peace with the distinct possibility that none of them will ever stay”—Obi-Wan decides it’s time to take action.
I love Obi-Wan in this story. Once he’s made up his mind he doesn’t dawdle, but neither does he rush things. He’s patient, intelligent, and delightfully detail-oriented while coaxing Qui-Gon out of his shell and subtly guiding the evolution of their relationship. He’s also fiercely protective, particularly when Qui-Gon’s ex decides he wants back in: “You think that I'm a shite-shy little first-year Padawan who will shrink back and just let you have him? In your dreams, Sharat, because that's the only place you're going to screw Qui-Gon again as long as I'm around. Shall we spar?” Plus, Obi-Wan takes his master to a book fair and a hot dance club, and arranges for him to get a nice breakfast when they’re separated by a mission. Did I mention I love Obi-Wan in this story?

Honestly, I'm considering reading this just because of your phrase:
Once he’s made up his mind he doesn’t dawdle
Dawdle. Haven't heard that word in years. :)

Come to think of it, I don’t believe I’d used the word “dawdle” in years, until I wrote the rec.
