Time	Event
4:06p	Again by Trinity Original poster: mrshamill Ha! You thought my being at Constrict would mean my rec was late! Title: Again Author: Trinity Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Q/O Warnings: ( If any, here: ) Author's e-mail, web site and/or LJ id: The only email I have for her is trinityk@mindspring.com, but I don't think she's still there (but I could be wrong). She used to be hosted at slashcity, but I don't think she is any more. Anyone have any ideas? Link to story: http://www.masterapprentice.org/archive/a/again.html Reasons for recommending: I think every fandom has this particular plot in it somewhere (and, of course, I can't tell you what it is because it would spoil it massively). But Trinity did a particularly good rendition of it, one that I have no problem recommending. It is not a long fic, but it is quite satisfying. Quote from story: ( Master, I have something to tell you. ) Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)
7:30p	Lost Jedi by Augusta Pembrooke Original poster: the_emu (Yes, Thalia, Laura guilt-tripped me. Nyah.) Title: Lost Jedi Author: Augusta Pembrooke Rating: PG-13 Pairing: Q/O, Q/Curt Warnings: ( Read More - Possible Spoilers ) Author's e-mail, web site and/or LJ id: a_pembrooke@yahoo.com Link to story: http://www.masterapprentice.org/archive/l/lost_jedi.html Reasons for recommending: In the search for Obi-Wan clones, Qui-Gon has ended up in Curt Wild's 1984. The story begins with Curt Wild levitating an array of very Curt-like objects: cigarettes and wine. It's this surreal but somehow believable mix of trashy Curt world and spiritual Jedi world that makes Augusta's story so fascinating. Of course, Qui-Gon is in love with Obi-Wan, and Curt is in love with Qui-Gon. It's heart-wrenching to be in the shoes of the Other, and with our nice solid one-pairing-fandom it's rare that an author can leave the reader split between wanting Q/O and Q/other (or O/other). Augusta manages it in spectacular style. Curt's yearning for Qui-Gon hurts. So does Qui-Gon's compassion for Curt. This is another one to throw in the 'Damn, I wish she'd written the sequel she was planning,' pile. But it stands beautifully on its own. Quote from story: ( I turned to look at the master... ) (Comment on this)
10:44p	The Gift, by Fionnabair Original poster: glasshouseslive Hello campers, TGIF! Your "Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me" recommendation.... Err, Actually, I'm taking a brief break from deathfics. A couple of reasons. Many of my favorite 'buy-the-farm' fics are post-May, 2001, and I'm trying to stay within the first 2 years of the existence of the archive. It's not a rule or anything, just something I'm trying to do. And as diverse and delightful as the collection of early deathfic is, I've been putting aside other excellent stories. Not to worry, I'm not losing my touch - my week 8 recommendation will be as bleak as it gets. [P.S. I love this format - I could rec all year. *hugs darththalia.* When I've tried to put together a list of recs for M-A, I can't seem to start, but I can manage to rec one story a week. Title: The Gift Author: Fionnabair Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Q/O Summary: A nomad is offered an unusual gift at a banquet concluding a successful trade. ( Warnings ) Author's e-mail: fionnabair@bigfoot.com (I don't know if this is still good) Website: None that I know of LJ id: darthfi Link to the story:http://www.masterapprentice.org/archive/g/gift.html Short follow up story here: http://www.masterapprentice.org/archive/g/gift_epilogue.html Reasons for recommending: I have a soft spot for AU stories, and usually give them leeway in characterization that I wouldn't give a piece set in the GFFA. But I can see Movie!Qui-Gon right away, and after a time, ConfidentKickAss!Obi as well. Fi's descriptions of the tribe and their way of life, contrasted with evil city-dwellers Palpatine and Maul are very well crafted. She gives life to the mostly cardboard Council members from TPM, and creates an appealing OC as well. And it's angsty. Goes without saying :-) ( Quote from the story ) (Comment on this)
