I am stunned. To put it simply. I can't imagine anything more beautiful. I feel like screaming, like hitting things, like crying. I feel obi-wan's pain. I feel Qui-gon's.
The last line just made me want to crumple up into a ball and wither away into nothing. And yet cry with joy at the same time.

Beautiful.

I reviewed this years ago, but given how often I keep coming back to it I think it deserves another hug.

There's something about this fic that just stays with me I was never really into the SW fandom, I think I've read a grand total of a dozen fics if that, but this one I keep reading, re-reading, over over again. Whatever my latest craze, whatever the current crushes fads, this is the fic I can always fall in love with again.
Side note: I never used to cry at the song before I read this ... now I sob every time I hear it. Oddly enough, I'm grateful. I love Watership Down! Both movie book. As an Australian, rabbits are primarily pests to me, but that book ... it's truly lovely. A classic.

But yeah. We were talking about how this fic has a special pocket of love reserved for it. that kinda gets to me! I don't LOVE fics. I don't invest that much emotion in fanfiction. But this ... I do. Something about it just keeps bringing me back, keeps making me tear up, sit quietly sob for half an hour. It's just so serene, so beautiful, so exactly what I thought Obi-Wan Qui-Gon's feelings for each other to be thereby believable ...
Since I first read this I've realised that a lot of people like using eyes as a bridge, or even a shortcut, to understanding between two characters. The metaphors descriptions people use can get ridiculously out of hand. But this fic uses that motif so much more elegantly, it makes everything else look clumsy. Here, everything's pure.
I know I've crapped on a lot, but that's what literary love does to me. It puts words in my mouth (or my fingers I come off all awkward overstated graceless, like a kid meeting their idol or a girl talking to her crush. Please take my ineptitude with words as a compliment to your own skill. There's something in this story of diamond.

ohh cry ... that was absolutely beautiful ... *sniff* this story is so totally and completely wonderful!
