Reasons for recommending: Just as Emu ran with Mac and Trinity's challenge to write Minuend, (see previous rec) 'chelle ran with Emu's ending, which is perfectly appropriate for the story but the kind guaranteed to make me pout. 'chelle makes Obi-Wan's angst and regret over his treatment of Qui-Gon in the first story heart-breaking, and hints deliciously that Qui-Gon's sternness arises from self-protectiveness. And oh yes, then it's incredibly hot. ;-)

Quote from story: Obi-Wan was impatient for a mission, because on missions things happened. Padawans sustained injuries that could only be healed when their masters reached across the bond between them. At such moments the master inevitably saw the pure love buried within the padawan's heart.

Alternatively, the master might be injured, saved from death only by an apprentice willing to risk his own life for that of the master he loved.

Then there were the missions where they were trapped alone together for extended periods of time. Time that allowed them to iron out the differences between them.

Even better were the missions where someone inadvertently fed a mind-altering chemical to the master, one that caused him to lose control, to make fast, furious love to his very willing apprentice.

Obi-Wan knew it would never happen that way. Given the direction his life had taken their next mission would be to Corellia and Qui-Gon would be even fonder of pilots than Bant was.
