Reasons for recommending: In this one, Qui and Obi are stuck in a cabin for a month while a storm system passes, and in an effort to keep himself from going out of his mind from unrequited lust, Obi-Wan digs up a magazine left behind in the cabin and asks his Master to take a 20 Questions quiz.
It's cute and funny and sweet, contains some wonderful UST moments, and made for a great introduction to the fandom. And I still think it's adorable, going back and reading it now. There's also something nice about hearing about the habits these two have when they're not wrapped in robes and trying to be serene and untouchable.
Quote from story:
"I used to hate being tall, you know." Qui-Gon had stopped stretching and just relaxed, leaning back, his legs straight out, his weight on his elbows. "I was always so much bigger than other humanoids. All huge feet and tripping over everything. Now I rather like it. I guess I like my eyes. How did you guess about my chin?"
"The beard."
One hand went to the short beard. "That obvious? Hmmm."
"What else? What don't you like?" Obi-Wan was fascinated.
"My hands."
"Your HANDS?" Qui-Gon's hands were two of the most precious things about him. Strong and large, gentle.
Qui-Gon held up his right hand and turned it in the firelight. "Too big," he said. "Too blunt. I always wanted elegant fingers."
Without thinking Obi-Wan sent him pictures. Hands guiding him through exercises, lifting him when he was injured, hard grip on his lightsaber. "Your hands are beautiful to me," his Padawan told him.
Qui-Gon said nothing, but he smiled at his hand.
