    Title: Snapshots: Obi-Wan Kenobi, This Is Your Life (I know, I know, it's not a single fic, but I could not let the opportunity to recommend this series pass me by)

    Reason for Recommending: Give me a reason for NOT recommending these. This outstanding series took possession of my heart from the very first, and I greeted each tiny piece with happy anticipation. By turns angsty, hot, romantic, hilarious, poignant, hot, solemn, joyful, did I mention hot? - the Snapshots formed a beautifully whole finished portrait of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, often capturing their personalities in a single sentence. Pumpkin's characterizations, to me, were the very embodiment of what it means to be Jedi, in every shade and nuance.

    I can't tell you the number of times a Snapshot has left me in tears, or fanning myself frantically, or grinning ear to ear. Of all the fine, fine stories and series in TPM fandom - and there are so many - this is the body of work I would give to a beginner, to say: Read these, and fall in love.

    Thank you, Pumpkin.

    Quote from story: I'm going to post an entire snapshot. It is my all-time favorite - heartbreakingly lovely. )
