24th-Jun-2013 09:33 pm The Tournament by Ruth Baulding (K)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: none
Length: 6k

Why this must be read:

Mischief and wry humor are the courses du jour. This story follows an unlikely narrator, Jocasta Nu, the caretaker of the Jedi Archives, throughout the course of the day. This particular day is a significant one for senior Padawans as it is the occasion of a contest of cunning and endurance that is held only once every seven years. It is set pre-TPM during Obi-Wan Kenobi's apprenticeship to Qui-Gon Jinn.

I simply cannot recommend Ruth's body of work strongly enough. Her prose is stunningly beautiful and elegant, her characterizations wonderfully accurate. She does not merely borrow characters from the GFFA and use them in her stories. She fleshes out the characters completely, and in doing so, adds something to the original portrayal that was not there before.

Why this must be read:

The story of Obi-Wan Kenobi's stuffed bantha is told in two parts with a bonus epilogue. Part one features the first meeting between a three-year-old Obi-Wan and an almost instantly smitten Qui-Gon, while the second part illustrates the brightest side of Anakin Skywalker. This story is light and sweet and portrays two of the central relationships of the PT.

11th-Jun-2013 05:14 pm A Very Merry Life Day by patientalien (K+)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Characters: Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker/Obi-Wan Kenobi
Length: ~1500 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] patientalien
Author Website: FFN profile
Why this must be read:

This story illustrates the dynamic between Anakin and Obi-Wan in a domestic setting and explores the way that Ahsoka is incorporated into that dynamic during the Clone Wars. The three of them form an unsurprisingly dysfunctional family, and like many families, the holiday can easily be classified as a hot mess. Ahsoka tries to salvage the situation, and, at least from a certain point of view, her noble efforts are not in vain. The characterizations feel amusingly authentic - Anakin is obnoxious, as per usual, poor Obi-Wan is long-suffering and just wants to get drunk, and Ahsoka is a good, self-sufficient little Padawan.

Also, I strongly recommend that you check out the other fics by this author. Hers were among the first I read when I stumbled into the wonderful world of fanfic slightly more that a year ago. Enjoy.

Why this must be read:

This author has a talent that I respect, rare and to my taste: dark with swirls of humor, like strings of condensed milk in espresso. Some really good stories are on the 'author website' link, more have been read by me circa 2008-2009 and then taken down by the author; I should very much like to reread them. If anyone knows where they are online, please PM. As for this story, explaining the title would give away a great deal of the plot, and you are not going to believe who the OC is.

Why this must be read:

This is a lyrical elegy to a fallen Handmaiden, one of those capable, deadly young women who were chosen to protect a Queen because they resembled her and could dissemble enough to act as decoy. A dark and moody piece.

EAD 121513: Freedom of speech DOT net has changed to Ghosts of the Vanguard and if anyone knows of a valid link to this story, I'll be glad to fix it. In the meantime, enjoy another story of hers, Fantastica, with a sure touch of characterization of her character Ayaira, a gal just trying to make her way in the galaxy.

Author Website: FFN Profile
Why this must be read:

The yearning on either Anakin's side or Obi-Wan's side for the other is a finely delineated element in the best romantic stories featuring the two. Replace the 'or' in the previous sentence with an 'and' and the story ends happily, leave it in and the story simply ends. This author writes a fine WIP, too, but Wait is a free-verse sort of piece that paints a definite picture.

Author Website: FFN Profile and Force Haven website
Why this must be read:

An AU to the erstwhile end to the saga, Revenge of the Sith, is one of the most popular Star Wars themes out there. This one takes the characters on a ride that shows the unhindered rage of a young Sith Lord, as he takes his revenge on his former master. The trilogy begins with A Simple Change, showing the tenor of the Master/Padawan relationship at a cusp of transition (otherwise known as pre-slash), when it settles into the framework of the later two stories. Vader is Not Nice. He is Vader.

Author Website: Fic tags
Why this must be read:

A long-lived franchise such as Star Wars accumulates lots of baggage in fandom: canon, manon and fanon. What fun to throw it all away and focus simply on the basics of storytelling, right from the source! In the '09 Party Like It's 1999! ficathon, Obi/Qui lovers of all sorts happily flow-walked backwards, contributing fic after fic. This one uses an untried Obi-Wan as he grows into his own sexual maturity, with the aid of an ever-attentive Master, from the prompt: A theme/plot point: Master/Padawan sexual intimacy is - objectively - completely unacceptable, and possibly (probably?) even seriously criminal. What happens? The author writes Anakin/Obi-Wan, as well.

Author Website: FFN Profile
Why this must be read:

The EU has given fandom interesting characters in interesting series, and I'm talking Jude Watson at the moment, fantastically prolific as she was. Knight Siri Tachi, undercover for a good cause, finds herself at loose ends as she reenters the Jedi Order. Master Meddler Yoda does his best to keep all the Jedi in his care at their peak efficiency. Read this to find out how taking a Padawan helps Siri find her balance. [livejournal.com profile] emthejedichic has written a sparkling AU starring Siri and Xanatos, a pairing made most appealing by the talent displayed by this author. As a fillip, this end of the timeline ought not to be Jossed by any Sequel Trilogy, and there is a great deal to be said for that.

Because it's a good supernatural story, and the yearning that fans have, to soften the fate of Padmé, is a worthy one. Read this and see how a chance visit from a very special spirit leads the way to Light.

Why this must be read:

This author writes with humor and a good command of the characters, particularly noticeable in this AU story in which Padmé survives her birth ordeal as she raises the baby twins on an unnamed world. She is bitter and she has a right to be. Obi-Wan provides grounding in the way that Jedi do best.

Author on LJ: Fic Journal
Why this must be read:

It's a dark take on the Master/Padawan relationship, integral to the fandom as a whole, from Revan to the Prequels to the Original Trilogy to the, presumably, Sequel Trilogy. How closeness leads to attachment, how physical needs supercede discipline; it's a hurt/comfort story, in case you were wondering. The author also writes cracktastic crack, and even better, a WIP cracktastic crack epic entitled 'Now This Would Never Happen In Star Wars, Would It?', a new genre, I think.

Why this vid must be seen:

Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff are parodists, filkers, writers and who knows what all else, but in this rec, their musical talents are in the forefront. Wow. When Queen meets Star Wars, watch out. A masterful blend of guitar slides and someone who sure sounds like Freddie Mercury wailing the lyrics and you are swept away into the GFFA easier than any other way I can think of. How it was done, I do not know, but as a fan, I appreciate it.

Author Website: Defensive Walls
Why this must be read:

Because it is a romantic, plotty read and tweaks canon most pleasantly. Who doesn't have an idea of rewriting the somberness of Revenge of the Sith? Along with an epic as well as a charming WIP, this author paces the stories as well as any writer in the fandom, detailing events with their inevitable emotional underpinnings in an enthralling manner.

Why this must be read:

The nice thing about long-lived franchises is that one may discover older fanfics that jibe exactly with newer canon, especially in the regard of characterization. For instance, the Maul in this story fits in with the recent Star Wars: The Clone Wars Maul, a nice revelation . Though this author writes slash as well as het, I picked this story because it portrays the thoroughness of Darth Sidious' preparation of his apprentice. It was pretty nice of him to suggest ... well, read the story and find out.

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] snootiegirl
Author Website: Profile
Why this must be read:

There is a tender genre of story, the hurt/comfort mood of which can be either slash or het or gen. This story is an example of an AU in which Obi-Wan is horribly injured, tested, and survives. He endures, though changed, as anyone would be, and the example he offers as a Jedi enables his Padawan to change, as well. See how the friendship and respect of two Jedi enable them to become perfect Jedi, each according to his personality.

Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] noctaval_ficcy
Why this must be read:

Because before the television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, there was a Dark Horse comic series by Haden Blackman called "Obsession" which dealt with mutual obsessions: Obi-Wan for his personal foe, Asajj Ventress, and Ventress' obsession for the Jedi and Obi-Wan in particular. Dark Horse gave us fans excellent departure points for characterization, and this fanfic reaches its destination: a rich, dark place, like 60 per cent cacao dark chocolate. The author gives us drabbles, too, as further decadent sweets.

Why this must be read:

Because it is an example of overarching tropes that we I enjoy, namely dinosaurs. Read this and see how the Star Wars fandom is remarkably pliable, accepting into its embrace dinosaurs, placing it in that delightful category of stories that use familiar items to 'ground' us in the story. Other authors may use a love of chocolate, for instance, but [livejournal.com profile] carmarthen has used dinosaurs in a delightful series, of which this is but one story.

Why this must be read:

For seminal required reading for the Anakin/Obi-Wan slash branch of Star Wars, there's no better 'go-to' inspiration than Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novelization. This author shapes a fic at the crucial moment of Anakin's disturbance at being required to spy on his friend Palpatine: Obi-Wan soothes Anakin's upset by his very presence, and the sex is hot, heavy and angry. An unusual flashback format makes the story even better.

Why this must be read:

This is a rollicking slash epic, full-throated and filled with humorous turns of phrase and dialogue. The story tackles the attraction, fulfillment and dissolution of the Anakin/Obi-Wan relationship. How does their story end? Through the years the tale encompasses, the Empire waxes, yet so does the opposition to it, and the saga's ending is most satisfying. As you can see by the pairings listed, it is filled with other romances, too. Breadcrumbs and Imperfections complete the story, though two chapters were completed of a sequel, Collision, link included. Each post is listed, though the posts have internal links, too. There was a surge of completist syndrome by me last night.

Author Website: AO3 profile
Why this must be read:

There is need for a Rest Day soupçon of a story. Also, because there is a definite appeal to being up-to-the-moment in a fandom, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars as an animated show is the latest *visual* thing around. This story, based on an episode of that program, takes the well-known Obi-Wan Kenobi and pairs him with the lesser-known Duchess Satine Kryze. Anyone who follows Obi-Wan's story in the saga knows how this love affair plays out. The author has been recc'd by me before and it's a pleasure to rec her work once more. Solo or in tandem with other authors, the concise nature of the prose speaks to me.

Length: 33k
Author on LJ: NA
Author Website: Merry Amelie's M-A story page
Why this must be read: Two men meet on a train and form an
instant connection. This is a modern-day Q/O story or in fandom terms an AR
(alternate reality). Of all the stories in this series, and there are many!
This first one remains a favorite. You feel more an observer than a reader
privy to something special unfolding in words and thoughts and small details.
A classic romance you'll read more than once.


Professor Quinn Masterson boarded the Amtrak train at Penn Station and
looked for an empty seat in Business Class. This was not an easy task during
Monday morning rush hour. Somehow, Quinn managed to look crisp and unrumpled
in his navy suit, despite the heat outside and his commute to the station.
He was on his way to Mace University in Windover, Massachusetts for a two
day conference on Tolkien's wizards.

Quinn finally spied a seat covered with newspapers next to a flame-haired
young man in jeans. "May I?" he asked, ever polite, although technically any
free seat was fair game. Quinn tracked the man's eyes as they swept over
him, higher and higher...and higher.

"Yes, of course," the young man answered, as he bundled the paper into the
seat pocket.

The conversation was clearly over for Quinn, who pulled out a copy of The
Fellowship of the Ring and began to read.



This is my final rec of the month. It's been fun as always. Until we meet again,
may the Force be with you! xx

Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read: Actions, images, thoughts and
sensations are seamlessly interwoven in this story. A lightsaber training
duel becomes a reflection of verbal thrusting and parrying, while the
physical effort is a reflection of emotional tension between
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. You can't help prolonging the pleasure of reading
this, at least I couldn't, while anxious to know what's ahead. I like the
pace of this story and the subtly erotic way it ends, giving us a taste of
what's to come. This story is part of the Living

Better than sex. This was so much better than sex. Sex was wonderful and

The Sword Dance, ancient and honourable, and perhaps the most blatant piece
of sublimation in the Jedi repertoire. He'd never been in a better place for
this dance, a long dead monarch's grateful offering to a Jedi long forgotten
everywhere else but this small planet: ancient stone floor, so coldly smooth
beneath his feet, tall windows so benign in these last minutes before dawn,
the Force so rich here, he could feel it caress his spirit.

On the tips of his toes, he felt even taller, a celebration of his height,
no apology, no stooping down for the comfort or dignity of others, just this
honest reaching and stretching. He thrust his lightsabre forward, the green
edge skimming, tingling, along the length of Obi-Wan's.

"Enjoying yourself, Master?" Obi-Wan asked him, mirroring his move, 'sabre a
humming blur in the dark.

Why this must be read: While helping Qui-Gon recover from his

from the Force and Qui-Gon. I love Cori's work; it's always thoughtful
and balanced with true characterizations. I love the way this piece flows from angst
to realization to love without being wordy or over-done. Classic Q/O at it's best.


The monotonous rasp of the respirator continued, as it had for days. He
would go mad from it soon, he was certain, if he had not already. But the
prospect of the noise ceasing held far greater terror than mere insanity.
Each wheeze of the precious and horrible machine scraped along his nerves;
each pause between those wheezes stifled his own breath. Just when it seemed
the pause had been too long, when he thought his lungs would stay frozen
forever, the machine let out another asthmatic whoosh, and he inhaled with a
gasp.

Artificial as it was, the rhythm of the breathing machine encouraged his
mind to drift into a state of false peace. He dragged himself back with an
effort. As soon as the blank trance left him, the reality hit again, and the
terror returned. It roiled up through his gut and clogged his throat. He
pushed down on it ferociously and shoved it back down until he could breathe
again. He had long since given up on trying to release it into the Force.
The Force seemed far, far away from where he was now.
