Genre:
AU; Angst; Action
Disclaimer:
The world is entirly in the pocket of George Lucas. I have slipped it out so I can play with it, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I didn't manage to snatch the deed to it so it still belongs to the Almighty God Lucas.
Feedback:
I love it. Gimmie!
Author's Notes:
This story is the sequel for my songfic
Words Miscommunicate
and if you want this to make any sense at all, you really, really should go read that first....
Prologue
“I love you too, Mara.” Luke whispered softly as he sat by her side in the cool, shining room. An IV drip stood silently to one side of the bed, the pale liquid hydrating the still form. The slender hand almost reflected the harsh florescent light and the thick needle on the back of her hand glittered, even through the gauze and tape that tried to mask the ugliness of it all. A thin sheet was pulled up under her arms, the gown that they had dressed her in barely covering her. Slender silver wires slid underneath the fabric to attach to tiny censors attached to her translucent skin.
“I love you,” Luke whispered again, desperate for a response. The room was empty of the Force, effects of the Ysalamiri that surrounded it. Mara had tried to kill herself with the Force and the memories she had replayed in her mind caused havoc with her system. The doctors said it was too dangerous. She was to be sealed off from the Force.
“Mara, I-I love you…” Luke’s voice cracked. “Ca-” he cut himself off and took a deep breath and tried to ask again. “Can you hear me?”
The room was empty of noise. More of a lack of something than something that was natural; it was quiet, dead. Luke shivered; then he noticed what was wrong about the silence. It wasn’t complete. It struck him that it was something of a sacrilege that something was disturbing the tranquility of the room.
The silence was still incomplete, and the steady drip of the IV resounded in the room.
Mara never stirred.
Review?
The chapters are not going to be this short, I promise....

Wonderful!! I'm honored to be your beta, this is a wonderful story. I love the angst. The angst is just so well done here. (And now we know you can write mush, so...)
I love the pace of just the stillness and quietness you describe in here. Just the waiting and the hoping that she'll wake up. You captured it wonderfully.
Okay, now I want to see the next chapter!!! You'd better send it to me soon.

Oh, my!
Don't kill off Mara! I beg of you! If you do...I'll have Anakin dump Hotaru in my fic and have him shack up with Tahiri again!
And Tomo Solo will be nothing more than an even chattier version of her mother.

*giggles* Bunny!
And I'm in the start and all! I must read now.. review in a bit?
Yes you're in the start, yes you must read now, and yes you must review.
Edit: aww! Short but sweet.
...*feels horribly guilty*
I can't wait for more! But.. but... why won't she answer him? Whyyy???
Because she's unconcious!
Must go out and play in the snow with all the cute boys... *giggles*
Did you knock any of them down?
Excellent work Jaid, more posts soon...ish?
Soonish.
Probably before my Han/Leia fic anyways 'cause FLF has plot, a good couple, an adorable beta, and is so pretty...

Does this mean we can start having Maracide fics now?
NO! This is not a Maracide fic! *whimpers*
Muahahha
Ah... the sweet sound of villany..
MiaTieska
Wonderful!! I'm honored to be your beta, this is a wonderful story.
*giggles at her Beta's sillyness for thinking that she's honored since her betaship is the only reason that this fic really made it this far...*
Love yah' Darlin!
I love the angst. The angst is just so well done here. (And now we know you can write mush, so...)
Angst is sooo painless to write! I just keep wanting to start singing!!
I love the pace of just the stillness and quietness you describe in here. Just the waiting and the hoping that she'll wake up. You captured it wonderfully.
Thanks, as you know, I struggled with it a *lot*....
Okay, now I want to see the next chapter!!! You'd better send it to me soon.
Okay! Okay! Next chapter is to be worked on after supper!
Jon
Oh, my!
What?
Don't kill off Mara! I beg of you!
Kill off Mara? But, but, but... what if it enhances the plot?...
If you do...I'll have Anakin dump Hotaru in my fic and have him shack up with Tahiri again!
O.O AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! I WON'T I WON'T I WON'T I SWEAR I WON'T PLEASE DON'T DO IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
PlotBunnyForFLF: AHEM!!! *thwacks* There is a
PLOT
that you are SUPPOSED to follow...
Mel: .....
*bursts out crying*
And Tomo Solo will be nothing more than an even chattier version of her mother.
..... o.o..... >.<..... *twitch*

Oh no,
Mara isn't responding.
Poor Luke.
She has to wake up and hear him.
No, no, Mara cannot die. Do you hear me?

What would the plot be after that?
Interesting start. The first one was quite good, and this one has plenty of promise. Your writing has become excelent in recent months. Keep it up.

Uh oh Jaidy lady, I think we're falling into the old a-million-reviews-after-each-post thing again!
*giggles* Bunny!
I really am... *bounces some more*
...*feels horribly guilty*
You should feel guilty lady, must provide us with our L/M fix, you know?
Because she's unconcious!
*Ahem* Has that ever stopped them in the past? In canon, Luke declared his love for her while she was unconcious!
Did you knock any of them down?
Unfortunately no. But prettiful one from Montreal threw one back at me and I caught it! They got it wrong you know, it's winter that's the more romantic of the seasons!
Soonish. Probably before my Han/Leia fic anyways 'cause FLF has plot, a good couple, an adorable beta, and is so pretty...
So pretty indeed. Are you going to have some sort of posting schedule? I like those, easy to remember when to
let
myself go online for a bit
It's almost Christmas! *bounce bounce* And with that comes exams.... *stops bouncing*... And candy!

I'll await? No, no. You mean..."Yes, you'll wait."
No. no, I meant "Yes, you'll await..." tis a cross between Knightish and English.
*beta mood*
AvenKiel
*claws at thread* More!!
*laughs happily* Really?!
Very well, I shall hurry!
green_eyes
Hurrah! Another WM person!!
Oh no, Mara isn't responding.
Nope.
Poor Luke. She has to wake up and hear him.
But that would take away the angst...
Actually it wouldn't.
No, no, Mara cannot die. Do you hear me?
.... >.<
Tyler
What would the plot be after that?
Trying to find what the meaning of life is in a world post-Mara....
Interesting start. The first one was quite good, and this one has plenty of promise. Your writing has become excelent in recent months. Keep it up.
Thanks Ty, I'll do my best!! *glows*
Excellent! He called it excellent!!!
Nicole
Uh oh Jaidy lady, I think we're falling into the old a-million-reviews-after-each-post thing again!
*laughs hysterically* We probably are... but tis so much fun!!
I really am... *bounces some more*
Actually you look more like an adorable little mouse when you wear your beanie...
You should feel guilty lady, must provide us with our L/M fix, you know?
...
I'm responsible for L/M fix's?! Aaahhhh!!
*Ahem* Has that ever stopped them in the past? In canon, Luke declared his love for her while she was unconcious!
And it's not stopping him now! She just isn't talking back! And sides.
YSALAMIRI!!
Unfortunately no. But prettiful one from Montreal threw one back at me and I caught it! They got it wrong you know, it's winter that's the more romantic of the seasons!
The prettiful one... was he the one you got turned to mush over a couple weeks back?
And Winter? Romantic? *thinks*.... I like fog. Not snow.
So pretty indeed.
*pets the adorable cherished plot bunnie*
Are you going to have some sort of posting schedule?
I can try... I suck at them though... I haven't had one in like a year...
I like those, easy to remember when to let myself go online for a bit
*laughs* How 'bout this. I'll post notices in my LJ for whenever I update FLF. Would that work?
It's almost Christmas! *bounce bounce* And with that comes exams.... *stops bouncing*... And candy! *bouncebouncebounce*
EXAMS!!
HURRAY!!! *dances* We loves exams!! (well... not bio or other yucky things... blech...) but History Exams!!
*bounces*
btw, I *LOVE* your signature!!
Jon
Hmm, so it's the plot bunny? I'll have to take care of that.
...*tries to set bunnie traps*
*Jon arms himself with a phaser rifle, double-bladed lightsaber and rabbit food*
Here, bunny, bunny, bunny!
*gloats* And THUS shall the small insignificant (yet highly resourceful) plot bunnie be captured and forced into eternal servitude..... MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
