Last week, I wound up talking with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tricksterquinn about Star Wars, and I decided I needed to collect my favorite fics in one place, just for easy reference and recommendation -- you'll notice that I return to some authors multiple times, because they are just that good.
I used the summary given by the author, when possible. All of these are gen and complete. All of the authors have other works that are equally worth reading.
And, yes, it's a bit heavy on Qui-Gon -- I love the grumpy, manipulative bastard much more than is reasonable.

The Victory Over The Sith At Theed And The Noble Fall Of Master Qui-Gon Jinn byshoiryu -- The kai-kan is a sacred drama.
