Reason for Recommending: This fic hits about a dozen of my kinks, but the outstanding feature distinguishing it from other stories of the same type is the whisper-close immediacy of action and emotion. And the end, with its blending of resignation, pain, and faint hope, punches me in the gut every time.

Quote from story:

Obi-Wan walked towards him slowly, his brown robe swishing softly against his legs. "Were you calling me?"

A quiet smile spread over Anakin's face. His features were familiar yet somehow different. Altered. His teeth were very white, visible to Obi-Wan even in the dim light. "On the contrary...you were calling me."

"Was I?" Obi-Wan said with a touch of earnestness. "What made you answer?"

Anakin came towards him, faster than Obi-Wan would have liked. His weapon slapped against his leg as he stalked his former Master. "You hope to turn me from my destiny," he said in a low, toneless voice.



Additional comments:

This piece is short and effective, the way I best like a rape scene written. Drawn out, they're bled of the feeling of pain, fear, and power, and quickly become boring. Obi-Wan's fear was extremely well portrayed - he wasn't reduced to wimpiness, but it was acutely felt nonetheless.
