WOW!! Great post! Can't wait for more!
When are we going to get more on the Jacen/Danni fic? You're the only person that makes me actually like Jacen/Danni, so that's why I was wondering.

I just started reading this story, and it's great. Their relationship is so cute, and I like how you're building up the romance very slowly, and basing it on friendship. It makes it that much more real and solid. 
I like the new post.  Poor Tahiri--I can sympathize. And she's obviously in denial about her growing feelings for Jacen. It's so sweet.

Man Anakin is awful insistent that Jacen take her. You would think something like death would mellow the kid out some.
Great post Val and update on "A Past Unknown"

Another post... another building block to the temple of romance that is Jacen and Tahiri.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“What is this place?” Tahiri asked apprehensively as she surveyed the myriad tents and protable shelters constructed as far as the eye could see. Jacen watched the expression on her face and could feel her hesitancy pulsating in the Force.
“It’s a refugee camp,” he explained. “One of several here on Mon Calamari. Unfortunately, there are thousands more like it across the galaxy. So many people have been displaced throughout the war, forced to leave their homes, their way of life, and- in many cases- their families. This camp may not look like much, but to all of these people it’s the only hope they have right now.”
Tahiri looked to her left and saw a gathering of disheveled humans seated in a circle in front of a tent, a cook fire in their midst burning steadily. To her right she saw a similar scene, only these people were a race she could not identify. All around her, people from all walks of life were engaged in the tasks of everyday survival, some young, some old, some in between. It was a sobering experience and she instantly felt guilty for wasting so much time wallowing in her own self-pity while all of these people were just trying to survive another day.
“Ah, you must be Jacen Solo. I can see your father in you.”
Tahiri halted her observations of the camp and turned her attention to the person who had just greeted them. It was a female Mon Cal, shorter than both she and Jacen, her rubbery skin a beautiful shade of coral and violet. She thrust her hand toward Jacen in a welcome, and he shook it warmly.
“I am Tanghal. Your mother told me you would be coming.”
“You know my mother?” Jacen asked, sincerely interested in her story. He was forever finding out new things about his parents—most of it not too terribly disturbing.
“Yes,” Tanghal said with a blink of her large, bulbous eyes and a hint of amusement in her gravelly voice. “I worked in the Senate back before she was made Chief of State. Mon Mothma was still in charge then.”
“You said I looked like my father. You know him as well?” Jacen inquired.
What passed for a chuckle wiggled the tendrils on Tanghal’s chin. “Yes. I don’t think Han Solo is a man easily forgotten. I was on Coruscant when he kidnapped Leia to keep her from marrying that Hapan prince. It caused quite the scandal, you know.”
“My father, cause a scandal? Surely you jest,” Jacen replied with a feigned look of disbelief. “Remind me to ask you about that later. It would be interesting to hear an objective version of that story.” He glanced at Tahiri and cast her a quick wink, causing her stomach to do a strange little flip. “But, I’m afraid that is not why we are here today, Tanghal.” He moved closer to Tahiri and placed a reassuring hand on her back. “Allow me to introduce my good friend, Tahiri Veila. She and I are here to assist you in any way we can.”
Tahiri didn’t even pay attention as she greeted the Mon Cal and shook her hand. She was too busy replaying Jacen’s voice over and over in her mind.
Friend. My good friend, he had said to be exact. She smiled at the warmth those simple words intoned and admitted to herself that she liked being Jacen’s friend… very much. Right now a friend was exactly what she needed in her life.
Tanghal, who was apparently in charge of the camp’s operations, continued to chat with Jacen as Tahiri tagged along behind. She showed him the headquarters building, the medical tent, and other important locations he might need to know and also introduced him to the heads of the various work teams. Finally, Tanghal finished her introductions and left to pursue her other duties.
Jacen took a deep breath and then turned to face Tahiri. “So, where do you want to start?”
Tahiri stumbled over her words. While she should have been listening to Tanghal’s explanation of the camp’s needs, she had been thinking about her newfound friendship with Jacen. Scolding herself for being so silly, she tried to cover her blunder.
“Oh, I don’t know. What do you think we should do first?”
He ran a hand through his typically mussed hair and sighed. “Well, Tanghal mentioned several things. We could start with the construction crew, or go help out at the food distribution tent, or the med tent, or the—“
“Okay! Okay! I get the point!” Tahiri interrupted with a smirk. “Food sounds easy enough. Let’s start there.”
Jacen offered her a smile that warmed her from the inside out. She was finding his limitless compassion and sense of humor to be a balm for her wounded spirit. Being around him was soothing and comforting. He radiated safety and kindness unlike any other person she had ever known… even Anakin, she admitted, surprising even herself.
She instantly recalled the talks she’d had with Anakin about the disagreements he and Jacen had concerning the use of the Force. Both were men of action, but in entirely different ways. Anakin had cared for others, only he wanted to use the Force to eliminate those who would cause harm. To a girl of fourteen, his had seemed the best, most effective method.
However, Jacen, she was discovering, was also a man of action, but only after weighing the odds and determining that action was truly needed. He preferred to help and to heal in order to cause change. Maybe it was disrespectful to Anakin’s memory, but part of her was beginning to agree with Jacen’s perspective. If people kept lashing out in an attempt to exact revenge or justice, then when would it ever stop? It would become an endless cycle of violence and hurt. She’d had enough of both.
She looked over to Jacen walking beside her. He felt her gaze upon him and turned to look at her, smiling once again, totally oblivious to the fact that he was knocking down her carefully constructed walls with each grin. Yes, Tahiri admitted, she was ready to heal.
