Reason for Recommending: It was difficult for me to narrow all my favorite Pumpkin stories to one; she's such a talented writer. This elegant little story takes my breath away every time I read it. It's an AU in which the Jedi serve the galaxy as usual, but when not in active service are, let's say, held in reserve. It's a more 'sci-fi' tale than I normally read, but the language is so crisp and vivid, and the hint of emotion beneath its shining surface leaves me alternately pensive and restlessly excited.
Enjoy.
Quote from story:
The page escorted him down a long corridor filled with resting chambers. There were thousands of them: seven feet deep, two feet wide and two feet high, they were stacked seven on top of the other from floor to ceiling. The hall continued as far as his eye could see and beyond. These were for the humanoid Jedi, there was a floor for every species, each with their own size and shape requirements.
He knew Qui-Gon would have been taken by a different elevator to somewhere else in this long line of vaults.
