Reasons for recommending: The first TPM story--heck, the first slash story--I ever read was one of Keelywolfe’s. I was instantly hooked on TPM, and became a lifelong Keelywolfe fan. This isn’t that story--it’s already been recced--but this is one that stayed with me for days after I read it.

It explores the idea that beauty is dangerous for a Jedi, and what padawans might go through to prepare themselves for a worst-case scenario. The story focuses on Obi-Wan’s POV, but we learn more about Qui-Gon through his eyes--how a master must accept that a student is growing up, and how to prepare that student for any eventuality. And how Qui-Gon, true to form, follows his own instincts rather than the rules.



Quote from story: "There was something that was just disconcerting about being completely naked in a dark room, Obi-Wan decided, shifting awkwardly on the pillow he was kneeling on. It wasn't that he was uncomfortable with his body or with being nude. It just felt very...odd.

At least it wasn't cold."
