keelywolfe, and her website's here.
Link to story: http://www.masterapprentice.org/archive/c/circles.html (There's also a rather nice cover for it at The Obi-Wan Torture Oasis, here: http://slashgirls.tripod.com/toto/circleintro.html)
Reasons for recommending: Keelywolfe has a way of getting angst into the tone of her narrative that I really like. The way her sentences and paragraphs are put together do a great job of leading you from one moment to the next with a bit of a sense of dread ("ack, what's going to happen next...?"). Xanatos has always been a great TPM-era fanfic villain, but he's even better when he's been sought out on purpose. The connection between Obi-Wan and Xanatos here is fascinating to read, and the sex is hot, too. ;) Also, points for a clever title.
Quote from story:
***
More: This is another star-crossed lovers sort of story, in which Obi-Wan can't have Qui-Gon, so he looks for something from someone else. Here, the someone else turns out to be Xanatos. Obi-Wan's struggle against what he wants and what he's asking for is lovely, but Xanatos's response and willingness to give are what really struck me the first time I read this story. Both characters seem determined to hate each other, but Xanatos is willing to let his guard down a little further. Or is he? How much of this is honesty and how much of it is Xanatos trying to press an advantage over Obi-Wan? (I give Xanatos a lot of credit here, but I wonder if I should.)

Quote from story:
The darkness seemed to loom closer every time. Every time he swore would be the last and every time he managed to resist, for a while. But he always found himself back here, in a room like all the others on a dozen different worlds. Xanatos had been following him from the beginning; on every world that he and Qui-Gon went to Xanatos had been there, distant but there, and waiting. And sometimes Obi-Wan went to him, sullenly taking what he offered and sometimes he resisted. But Xanatos was always there, like a shadow. It was a miracle that Qui-Gon hadn't noticed yet. It was like walking the fine edge of a blade, just waiting for the moment that he would finally lose his balance and to see how deeply he was cut.
