Reason for recomending: This is one of those sweet, romantic stories that everyone needs once in a while. Obi places memories of his training with Qui in different stones. Then on their 10th anniversity of being master and padawan, Obi sends Qui on a scavenger hunt through the temple, allowing his master to see these memories from his perspective. Sage weaves together the simple plot of the scavenger hunt beautifully with what is revieled in the stones, making a beautiful story that make one feel good at the end.
Quote from the story:
His next stop was an empty classroom, where Obi-Wan had passed his exams and become a senior padawan. A piece of tigereye with its shifting brown-gold hues caught his eye. He picked it up and felt his student's elation at his own accomplishment and his anticipation of celebrating the event with his friends. The Qui-Gon of here and now felt a little guilty about that. He'd invited Obi-Wan to dinner outside the Temple to celebrate; it hadn't occurred to him at the time that the padawans would have something planned. He felt badly about taking his student away from his yearmates to spend the evening with his old master. The memory continued on. He felt his student's shocked delight when Qui-Gon had invited him out for a celebratory meal. Qui-Gon was surprised at the utter absence of regret in Obi- Wan as the young man commed his friends and told them he was unavailable for the remainder of the evening.
Qui-Gon remembered how ravishing Obi-Wan had looked that night in his stylish civilian clothes. He had dressed himself in a forest green tunic and misty grey leggings of supple suede. The Jedi Master's much-vaunted control had been sorely tested that evening. He felt Obi-Wan's appreciation of his own attire and found himself blushing. The young man had admired his Master's choice of fitted black trousers and sapphire blue silk shirt. More to the point, the padawan admired his Master's muscular body in said trousers and shirt. Qui-Gon was astonished to see himself as his apprentice had seen him that night; tall, handsome, virile, all leonine grace and smooth confidence. He was even more astonished to feel a sense of wistful longing in Obi-Wan as they'd walked to a good restaurant and enjoyed an excellent meal. Obi-Wan's strongest memories were not of the excellent food, but rather of watching his Master eat. Qui-Gon felt his padawan's elation when the Master steered him into a bar on their way home, toasting his elevated status with glasses of fine Correllian brandy. He felt the glimmer of hope that arose when Obi- Wan realized that his Master felt he was mature enough to drink the strong beverage - perhaps the older man would soon see his maturity in other respects, as well.
