L'Histoire d'Obi (The Story of Obi)

L'Histoire d'Obi (The Story of Obi) is a Star Wars: The Phantom Menace slash story by Lilith Sedai. The novel was heavily influenced by the erotic classic "The Story of O".
It was originally published online and later released (revised and edited "L'Histoire d'Obi was originally posted online. It has been revised and edited prior to the creation of this zine." ) in print fanzine format.
The Story of Obi focuses on the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan pairing in a BDSM relationship as part of their mission to go undercover as a slave and slaveholder in order to investigate whether a newly discovered planet is suitable for admittance into the Republic.
==Summaries==
From an ad? "Obi-Wan neglects to pay careful attention to a briefing, agrees to accept an unusual mission assignment, and lets himself and Qui-Gon in for more trouble than either of them bargained for."
From Star Wars Zine Bibliography: "When Obi-Wan confesses his feelings for his master, Qui-Gon deals with it by sending him away with instructions to meet other, more age-relevant people. When Qui-Gon is chastized by the blunt healer dealing with Obi-Wan's
separation anxiety, he welcomes his padawan back into his life. But before things can be resolved between the two men, each will have to deal with the long held and deeply buried damage to his soul."
