I feel a great disturbance in the Force...

...it tells me that flambeau has posted something wonderful.

Georgette Heyer fans should run (toward the story, not away). So should Star Wars fans. So should anyone who's ever read a Regency romance, because, oh man. I cannot tell you how insanely gleeful this story makes me.

flambeau says "This is probably not what it would have been like if Georgette Heyer had written TPM fanfic."

She is of course completely wrong. This is exactly what it would have been like if Georgette Heyer had written TPM fanfic.

Here, a quote:

A few students, however, refused to adopt the languishing airs their fellows affected, and instead attempted to regard Qui-Gon Jinn with the same indifferent disdain he afforded them. In this latter group was a young man who watched the entrance of Master Jinn under long red-gold lashes, careful not to let the others perceive how intently he studied the man. It would not do to give the impression that he cared one whit for the presence, or absence, of the Jedi order's greatest champion, a man who, so rumor had it, only need smile faintly, or give a gracious nod, for more impressionable young students to scratch a tentative Q-G on the handle of their lightsaber; the bolder ones had even been known to tie love-knots in their hair, at the spot most commonly chosen for a padawan braid.

Go read Episode One: The Quiet Padawan, by flambeau. Rated G or thereabouts. This is Heyer, after all. *g*

Thank you! It took me a day to succumb to the Georgette Heyer lure because I'm a big fan of the first Star Wars trilogy but not the later ones (just a personal thing) but I absolutely loved the way the two worlds collided here. LOL It is perfect!

Hey, I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I admit I'm more of a fan of the earlier movies, too, but the TPM fandom produced such great stories that I was won over. And now I really hope flambeau will write more episodes...
