The Gift is a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan story by Wednesday.

Summary: "Transmute (15th century): To change or alter in form, appearance or nature, and especially to a higher form." It happens to Obi-Wan, in ways he never dreamed possible. Master and Padawan must go forward from there.

Notes: This story is loosely based on one I read years ago in a classic Star Trek slash zine. Be that as it may, writing this was not easy. Finishing it was even harder because Obi-Wan just wouldn't talk past a certain point. The tale also took a hard left turn after a reader read the partial draft and said, rather desperately and quite rightly, "Don't you DARE do XX to Obi-Wan. It's SO Mary Sue." The gauntlet was thrown and so will pick it up (with apologies) in Part II, but hopefully with a motivational and somewhat realistic twist (hah!) that mocks Mary Sue and makes the possibility a little more plausible.

Recs and Reviews

This is another Obi-turns-into-a-girl story, and a really good one at that. How will Qui-Gon react when his apprentice turns into a really hot girl? How will Obi respond to her Master's sudden attention? *grins madly* Yes, it's het, but oh so good...
