tpm_flashbackTitle: The Club (The Script)
Author: Trudy West
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Q/O, O/Other
Warnings: Whore!Fic. Genteel and voluntary, but it still is prostitution, so if it squicks you, don't read. Some descriptions of kinky and/or violent sex.

Reasons for recommending:
During a sabbatical, Qui-Gon procures the services of a host (I'm sure you can guess who) at a discreet and exclusive club. Obviously this is AU. I like the way the concept of identity is explored here - how innate qualities and perceptions of self and others play out in unusual circumstances. No histrionic, simpering Obi-Wan here. Both men are strong and interesting with a believable rapport. The mood is very restrained and understated; even the sex - kinky or otherwise. But it's good. :) It's written in screenplay style, which may be off-putting to some. Give it a chance. It gives it a voyeuristic quality and a sense of immediacy that works well.
Quote from story:
NOBIA: It depends on the Host. For my part, I hate to lose, but I will, rather than annoy a Patron. Many of the Patrons aren't accustomed to losing and they don't take it well. They're paying to live their fantasies, after all, and most of these men don't have fantasies about losing.
JENNON: You don't have to coddle me. Try to win, if you can, though I doubt it.
NOBIA: Arrogance, Jennon? I like it. It suits you.
JENNON: You're calling me arrogant?
NOBIA: Do you prefer self-confident? Brash?
[JENNON makes a sudden slashing movement that NOBIA deflects.]
NOBIA: [amused] No, arrogant is definitely the word.
