Reasons for recommending: What I love the most about Yahtzee's work in general, and her TPM stories in particular, is that she never makes love easy, and the relationship is all the sweeter for the work when they finally get here. Surfacing: At First is the first in a 5-part series which takes Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship through a rigorous course of angst, plot, and hurt/comfort, and of course, amazing writing.
Obi-Wan could usually muster enough discipline to stop himself from conscious imaginings. But his dreams delighted him by night and tormented his memory by day, ensuring that even his best attempts would not free him from the agonies of unrequited love.
In the last few months, he had finally reached the point he had sworn to himself to avoid -- the point at which Qui-Gon's presence was becoming distracting, and even painful. The point at which their primary relationship, that of Master and Padawan, was deteriorating.
And it was only his own damn fault.
He breathed out again in frustration, only to catch another warning glance from Qui-Gon. Just as well, he told himself; as long as my Master believes that my distress rises from egotistical concerns, he won't search for any other cause.
But Qui-Gon himself was rising from his chair. "Actually, Obi-Wan, I believe you are right."
"Master?"
"This has gone on long enough. We need not be passive in the face of such rudeness. Come." And with that, Qui-Gon pulled his robes more closely about him and began walking out of the room. Obi-Wan hurried after him.
