No, this is a different one; apparently there are a lot.

And also, urgh. You know, one thing I'm noticing as I read through the archive is that, even more than in LotR, it's really painfully obvious which of these fics were written by teenage girls, and not just in writing quality either. I read one like the day before yesterday that was an AU where Qui-Gon has a one-night stand with Obi-Wan, who's a senator on some planet or other, they are Instantly Soul-Bonded Liek OMG eight hours after they meet, and no one can understand why Qui-Gon is unreasonable enough to be pissy about this. Including Obi-Wan, who's just thrilled. Of course, Qui comes around in the end and realizes how "lucky" he is.

I love it when this relationship is portrayed by people who really have some idea about the complexities involved in adult relationships period, especially relationships that introduce sex into an entirely different dynamic, but some of these writers I just want to smack and tell them to get back to me when they stop thinking that love means going into a huge dramatic "Poor me, I cannot function and will just lie on the bunk in a fetal position" depression because your boyfriend's gone for two weeks.

Force of Destiny. Not horribly written in terms of sheer prose quality, but still.

And yes, totally, less of the referring to them as "boyz," please.
