SW:TPM fic rec: "The Best Medicine"

[krait]

In a fit of fandom nostalgia, I went browsing through Master and Apprentice, whose mailing list I have long been a part of, and, in fact, from whose capable hands I first found the writing of Telanu, Rushlight, and others I admire, multi-fandom.

At any rate, while I was browsing I happened to stumble across "The Best Medicine", by Russet McMillan. It's a gem: long, intelligently written, with imagination and smut and tension that doesn't devolve into an angst-fest. In short, Qui-Gon is injured during a mission and, due to the quantum physics of hyperspace travel, can't access enough of the Force to heal his wounds. Obi-Wan, however, knows a way to generate enough; the question is, will Qui-Gon go along with it? "The Best Medicine" is the first "sex for healing" fic I've run across that actually makes sense. Then there's the fact that it involves one of my absolute favourite slash-sex positions, one I didn't think anyone had written except me, in my own head.

Brilliant stuff.
