Submission, by Anna Original poster: glasshouseslive Hello campers, TGIF! Here's your Friday "Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me"** recommendation. A tad late because I'm an idiot.
I got the day off work in observance of Reagan, so I'm in a particularly exuberant mood. So without further ado, here's my second rec:
Title: Submission
Author: Anna
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Q/O
Summary: In a universe where the Sith control the galaxy and the Jedi are a subversive force, a Master and his Padawan face a time of trial.

Reasons for recommending: Perhaps only Anna (a pen name of Mac) can write a story where Jedi must be cruel, very cruel, to train perfect Apprentices in a Sith dominated galaxy, where the price of failure is death at the hand of your Master, where said Master is tortured by the Sith -- and still give it an upbeat ending!
There was also a prequel to this story, with more background on her AU, but I can't find it on Mac's site or the archive :-(

**The Friday Theme Song is indeed from Hee-Haw. How my mom loved that show -- and made me watch it too. Sigh. I think that explains a lot about me... | | 11:38a |

Reasons for recommending: I like silly stories, a fact that should surprise absolutely no one anywhere, right? But silly is so damned hard to pull off successfully (I know, I've tried) -- too far in one direction and it becomes ludicrous, too far in another and it becomes just stupidly boring. So when I find a story that manages silly so beautifully, I tend to read and keep re-reading forever.
The setup for this story is fairly simple -- the boyz are on a mission to a planet where the inhabitants are felinoids. One of them, a daughter of a fairly high-ranking somebody, manages to get Obi-Wan to drink some type of potion that suppresses his civilized humanity and makes him behave like... well, a cat. The idea of Obi-Wan slinking around like a cat, stretching his whole body, refusing to take a bath, well, it just cracks me up. Poor Qui-Gon has to deal with the situation until the potion wears off, and it's pure torture for the master who so desperately wants his padawan. There were moments when I laughed out loud in all four stories, though the latter two weren't quite as good as the first, since the novelty had worn off. The characterizations are excellent and the story as a whole is just a lot of fun to read, which really should be no surprise for those who have read Elayna's stuff.
