Well, over my eight weeks, I've done my best to show you that Sith need love too. Here's my final recommendation. Please remember that Sith like to snog as much as any Jedi, and when they do, it's usually really hot and kinky.
And speaking of hot and kinky...

Reasons for recommending: This is an angst-heavy series that isn't for the faint of heart. And by angst, I don't mean Leo de Caprio-style angst, I mean Trent Reznor-style angst. Maul and Obi-Wan only share airspace in the first and last installments, but in between, you get to watch Obi-Wan take metaphorical razors to the wrists of his soul. And why wouldn't he? Part one has him (see warnings). If this is your cup of tea, then I encourage you to read it. If you can't read stories with (see warnings), then this isn't for you. And Maul stays wonderfully in character throughout. I didn't ever need to suspend my disbelief in his scenes.
Quote from the story: Staring down at the man on his knees amidst the blood and gore from the dead courtiers, Maul slowly lowered his hands to his belt. There was a certain appeal to the idea. The Jedi was attractive, in a clean, long-limbed, oddly innocent sort of way. Debauching innocence always appealed.
The shaggy head lifted, and the molten blue eyes stared up at him. He was caught. Light and Dark, strength chained, anguish tamped down to sear the soul to slag. The very perversity of the coupling sang to him, the closest he could get to extinguishing the Light without allowing that final mercy.
And since I've only got one last chance to do this (and didn't manage to do it every week), my final pro fiction pimping will be for Nicola Griffith's Slow River, a dark, brooding, dirty book about near future haves and have nots told through the eyes of a rich woman caught in the dangerous world of the streets. Right, and because this is pretty much a slash community, does it help that this book is about lesbians?
See you on the Dark Side,
Siubhan
