Link to story: Bear the Consequences
Reasons for recommending: This story (and the others in the series) pops up from time to time on fic searches, and I always remember it fondly. The series is sort of an angst primer, anything that can go wrong to keep the boys apart will go wrong up until the very end.
Yvette also created some engaging original characters that you want to root for, except for one whom you would glady smack silly. Overall, this series is a worthwhile way to spend a few hours wallowing in the boys' misery.
Quote from story:
"The Jedi monitor received word two hours ago that two Jedi were being held in the police precinct, having been arrested during a fight that broke out in a nightclub. When our representative arrived, Padawan Kenobi and Padawan Valerin were released to his custody, and a full report of their behaviour was given. They, and the others involved in the fight, are responsible for several hundred credits worth of damage to the club they were in, and to the shop front they destroyed during the fight. The Council has already apologised on behalf of your student and the other apprentice, and we have paid for the cost of repairs to the damaged property."
Qui-Gon remained silent during the stark recitation, as did Obi-Wan. The younger man kept his composure, and his head held high as he stared blankly at the window several feet away. He could feel the weight of Yoda's disapproval heavy upon him. Master Windu, on the other hand, gave the impression that Obi-Wan did not exist.
"The sum of two hundred and ninety three credits will be withdrawn from your yearly disbursement. Your mission to Dantooine will be undertaken by another team. You and your Padawan will spend the next three months in a teaching capacity within these walls. You will not leave the building during that time. At the end of the three months we will review the situation."
Qui-Gon replied evenly, "Yes, Master Windu."
Yoda had been uncharacteristically silent throughout the proceedings. He spoke, his words bringing a flush of shame to Obi-Wan's face that until now, he had successfully been fighting.
"Bear the consequences of your actions, you must."
The words were a dismissal. The two Jedi bowed, and left the room.
And the rest: Bear the Consequences was the first story Yvette wrote in the series, but she later went back and wrote two prequels that give some back story and flesh out the original characters. The story order is (1) The Lie, (2) Daen, (3) Bear the Consequences, (4) Aftermath, (5) Misdirection, (6) All I Wanted to Say. All can be found on M-A. The series rating is NC-17 and also contains Obi/OMC.
There is an original female character named Arista G'effen. I remember writing the author and telling her I giggled at the name because it was two record companies. She fessed up to pulling the name from two cds on a rack near her desk :)
