Reasons for recommending: Writestuff's Warrior's Heart sequence is now novels long, and she's revised the story order a few times. But, in order of being written, Master and Apprentice was second (it has now been demoted to 10th); and it contained the starting point of the whole story arc which, for me, was beautifully concluded in Emancipation. Both stories share an understanding of the freedoms and limitations of a relationship between not-equals, given a physical representation in some of the hottest sex ever written for TPM. Writestuff understands perfectly that the most erotic writing is, in fact, an exploration of character.
Quote from story: Though Qui-Gon had banked his passion for the moment, they continued to share a bed--a most frustrating experience. While Obi-Wan loved lying in Qui-Gon's arms before sleep, his hands tangled in his master's heavy mass of hair, breathing in the scent of their bodies, he wanted more of Qui-Gon's fire and less of his control. Right now, after five very lonely days, he just wanted more of Qui-Gon, period. If his master wasn't going to make the first move, his apprentice at least had the excuse of a 20-year-old's libido to offer in doing so himself.
And maybe it was time that the student instructed the master.
Extra comments:
The version now in the MA archive has been slightly revised to fit into its new place in the series, but even so it reads beautifully on its own. Don't let it tempt you into jumping to Emancipation if you haven't read the series before, though; you've got to do all the ones inbetween :) Emancipation contains the full list in internal chronological order.
