Reasons for recommending:
Ah, it's so hard to choose one Nansi story. I could have gone with a heartwarming one, but nope. I'm sneaking in late on GH's angsty Friday, and I wouldn't want to spoil the mood, so heavy ObiTorture it is. And such beautifully written torture, too.

This story shows exactly how the best angst comes from exploring the way a character copes with injury, not from piling the readers down with lovingly graphic description. Nansi takes us into the little bubble that holds Obi-Wan's sanity through a long captivity and his readjustment back into a world that existed without him.

Nansi used to talk about doing a sequel to this, and I suppose it's too far behind us to beg. But I would if I could hope.

Reasons for recommending: I waffled over which of my two favorite Cori stories to put here -- this one or Theory of Flight (and I was positive someone had already recommended one of them, but I don't see either). I decided on this one purely because I love it -- I love her characterizations (not only of the boys but of the council as well); I love the fact that she didn't take the easy way out in the story; I love how she had them at each other's throats, almost, before... well, if you haven't read it, I won't spoil it. Suffice it to say that I found it to be one of those eminently satisfying fics where you come away with a smile, knowing all is well with the world.
