Link to story: The Rubaiyat is actually a collection of six short vignettes. They're all on M-A, but the order is clearer on Rache's own SW page: http://mediafans.org/rachael/other/oth_index.html#phantom_menace
Reasons for recommending: The series began with its own epilogue, Preferred Vintage, a hot enough little pwp - but where it caught my attention was with the next story, which actually begins the arc: Poet Laureate. This features the earthiest, most unabashedly young male voice for Obi-Wan I've ever come across in TPM. Then, as the series alternates between Obi and Qui, we're touched by Qui's more adult, more melancholic and restrained point of view, and by the small shifts through which Obi-Wan comes to some adult realisations, dragging his master with him.
