Summary: Qui-Gon takes Obi-Wan to an isolated planet for his 18th birthday, and there they learn something unexpected about themselves.

Reasons for recommending: I can't believe this is Emma's first attempt at slash. The writing is sensual and evocative, and the situation -- a great set-up for a first-time story -- lends itself to all kinds of hotness. There's a bit of angst and general misunderstanding (it turns out Qui-Gon certainly did NOT forget Obi-Wan's birthday), but overall the story has a lightness about it. Qui-Gon's (and the Council's) ready acceptance and encouragement of Obi-Wan's sexual explorations is refreshing. And Obi-Wan in a threesome .... yummy!
