Today's rec is another Lilith Sedai TPM Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan story, the one in my notes as "the one where they go undercover." The story is "L'Histoire d'Obi (The Story of Obi)," in which Obi-Wan doesn't pay enough attention to a briefing and accepts a mission without realizing that he has to play the role of a slave. Of course, there's intrigue on the planet, but there's also Obi-Wan enjoying belonging to Qui-Gon, Qui-Gon trying to resist him, and Qui-Gon eventually branding him at the insistence of the people in charge on the planet. This is not a fuzzy-warm story, but it's one I've read several times and liked every time.

Saying this is not fuzzy-warm is a bit of an understatement, I think. Although I loved the premise (something about Obi-Wan spacing out during a briefing and missing the key points really amuses me), and the Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon stuff, the conditions that slaves lived in on that planet distressed me to the point that I've never been able to reread this one.
