Fandom meme-age
Because, well, on occasion, I will do this. You know, for sufficient reason and with good enough excuse to babble about what I love.

There are three communities that I've checked out -- starwars_slash, sw_slash, and ewan_hayden (which accepts both RPS and FPS).
Actually, the longest slashy thing right now is the novelization of the movie by Matthew Stover, which contains such things as:
"Anakin." Obi-Wan's voice had gone soft, and his hand was warm on Anakin's arm. "There is no other Jedi I would rather have at my side right now. No other man."
Anakin turned, and found within Obi-Wan's eyes a depth of feeling he had only rarely glimpsed in all their years together; and the pure uncomplicated love that rose up within him then felt like a promise from the Force itself.
"I . . . wouldn't have it any other way, Master."
"I believe," his onetime Master said with a gently humorous look of astonishment at the words coming out of his mouth, "that you should get used to calling me Obi-Wan." (pg. 59)
and
“I think,” Obi-Wan said carefully, “that abstractions like peace don’t mean much to him. He’s loyal to people, not to principles. And he expects loyalty in return. He will stop at nothing to save me, for example, because he thinks I would do the same for him.”
Mace and Yoda gazed at him steadily, and Obi-Wan had to lower his head.
“Because,” he admitted reluctantly, “he knows I would do the same for him.” (pg. 214)
and
"I--I'll turn you over to the Jedi Council -- they'll know what to do--"
"I'm sure they will. They are already planning to overthrow the Republic; you'll give them exactly the excuse they were looking for. And when they come to execute me, will that be justice? Will they bring peace?"
"They won't--they wouldn't--!"
"Well, of course I hope you're correct, Anakin. You'll forgive me if I don't share your blind loyalty to your comrades. I supposed it does indeed come down, in the end, to a question of loyalty," he said thoughtfully. "That's what you must ask yourself, my boy. Whether your loyalty is to the Jedi, or to the Republic."
"It's not--it's not like that--"
Palpatine lifted his shoulders. "Perhaps not. Perhaps it's simply a question of whether you love Obi-Wan Kenobi more than you love your wife." (pg 293)
and especially this:
The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all...
Obi-Wan still loved him. (pg. 403)
