Reasons for recommending: Oh, what's not to like? The writing's wonderful, the sex is hot, the ritual is fantastic and the reasons behind it are both beautifully described and fit the story really well, Obi-Wan's nervousness, Qui-Gon's patience and inventiveness, the frustration on both parts when everything doesn't go according to plan. It's a great story, and well worth reading through all three parts, even if epic stories are not normally your thing (as they're not for me).

Quote from story:
"Master, I have managed to get an erection when I haven't had any sleep for seventy-two hours. I've had erections whilst recovering from stab wounds, after I lost ten kilos from dysentery on Golla, and when I got that mysterious disease previously only known amongst Bothan sheep. Since I first discovered what it was for, my penis has been a loyal and faithful friend. But tonight, I couldn't."

"Ah."

Qui-Gon's lack of apparent sympathy galled Obi-Wan into seeking vengeance. "Is this what old age is like, Master?" He tilted his head back to see if the shaft had hit home, but Qui-Gon was deep in thought, his brow furrowed.

"Hush while I consider this, Padawan."

More: I almost gave this one a pass the first time it was recommended to me (by [livejournal.com profile] emmagrant01) -- the drama/romance category was never one of my favorites. *grin* As it turns out, this story is more about ritual than anything, and the ways Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan bond and grow together (and separately) through the experience. I'm a sucker for rituals, and this may be one of the best examples of a ritual I've seen in TPM fandom.
