Reasons for recommending: I love it, isn't that the typical reason? ;-)

I was hooked from the first letter when the angst of Obi-Wan's unrequited love is accidentally revealed to Qui-Gon, who wholeheartedly responds with his own passionate feelings. The story slowly expands from a series of personal letters into a complex epic covering their bonding, their training of Anakin, their matchmaking for friends, their disputes with a tainted Council, and the battle against the Sith. The story develops several interesting original characters and expands canon characters like Anakin, but happily, they all enhance the boys' interaction rather than dominating the fic. The heart of the story always remains with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, who are depicted as strong, dedicated Jedi, but with flaws and imperfections, a characterization that draws me into regular re-reading.

Letters was followed by War Chronicles and Rebellion Missives, as well as the AU Foursome, but Letters itself remains my favorite. The boys' initial yearning for each other, followed by their first kiss, first sex, and the evolution of their partnership as bonded knights... *happy sigh*

Don't forget to put the title and author in the subject line--it makes adding them to memories much easier. And you forgot to include a quote, which is half the fun of making the rec. Of course, you could probably spend weeks deciding which quote to use from this series....

I still remember looking forward to a new installment every day when Lori and Wolfling first published these. That was so fun.
