Author	Topic: The Older Woman [Jag/Leia] nominated!

	OK, I've done it. I've committed the ultimate transgression. I've written a Jag/Leia. Now, I've written a Jag/Alema, a Jag/Kyp, and a prospective Jag/Danni, but this is a bit weird, even for me. Inspiration comes from yet another comment of Thrawn McEwok. Like the Jag/Alema comment, he was baiting another author - Spike2002, I think. You could probably tie this in with Grief-Stricken, in some parts. Have fun - or retch, whichever suits you best... And this is definitely my twentieth story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When he moved to Denon to carry out his affairs as the ambassador to the Galactic Alliance, he didn’t see as much of Jaina as he thought he would. She was always gone on missions – military or otherwise – and when she was onworld, she was forever ensconced in shady meetings with Jedi and generals. He did see Jaina’s mom quite a lot, though. The Most Honourable Princess Leia Organa Solo of the the Alderaanian Remnant had a finger in every pie despite her retirement, to her husband's eternal resignation and chagrin. Jag learned early on that if he needed to know some informantion or get some strings pulled, a quiet conversation with the Princess would get things done – if you gave her a favorable impression. So he settled into a routine: Go to work, have occasional dates with Jaina, and have lunch every once in a while with her illustrious mother. But then Han died, in a space accident, of all things, and everything changed. Leia went into deep mourning, and nothing her family did could shake her out of it. Her brother tried, and sometimes succeeded, but he failed more often then not. Jaina was so deep in her grieving that she spent most of her time off-world on what most people would qualify as suicide missions. Jaina classified it as stress relief. Jacen was estranged from the family. He tried, in his own clumsy way, but that wasn’t enough. Jag was a little more pragmatic, though. His mother and Leia were remarkably alike in some ways, and he decided to use the same strategy he employed on his mother after Davin’s death with Leia. After all, she was the mother of the woman he loved, and a good mentor in her own right. He walked into her house, bold as brass, and poured cold water on her. She was, as you can imagine, not pleased. She slammed a lamp into his head. That didn’t deter him, though, and in the ensuing mess, managed to get her cleaned, dressed, and eating out at a diner most of the political aides ate at. Their friendship was solidified that day. After he and Jaina broke up, he didn’t visit Leia for a while, thinking that she would not want to see her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. He was very surprised to see her a week later, with a charming smile and tickets to the theater. Nothing needed to be said between them after that. The next few years went on in that way. He gradually became the head of a large diplomatic compound. It was akin to running a military base, except with not as many lethal weapons. He saw Leia almost every day for a lunch date at that same diner they had gone too so long ago, and they talked of pretty much everything – military tactics, history, society gossip, politics, gardening… the list went on. But one day, it all came into focus for Jag. There was a ball, of all things, celebrating the Alderaanian Remnant finding a planet in Chiss Space, and he was escorting Leia to the ball. The ball went well, and Leia drank a bit more than usual – not enough to get drunk, but at the end of the evening, she was whispering pilot jokes to him in the landspeeder. And as he walked her to her house, up the long and winding pathway, he smiled at her, and she at him, and at her porch, he thought, of all things, she looks quite good for a woman her age. And then he leaned down and kissed her. She kissed him back. -----signature----- Pretty, practical, and the Ewok's Hand: Redheaded teenaged girls make the best assassins Always willing to do a side-job for Quiet_Mandalorian, though And Kreia...well, Kreia was a woman who tried to be a Jedi, then tried to be a Sith, and failed at both

	I think that is the most disturbing pairing I've ever read. What would his parents say? What would Jaina say? What would anyone say? lol. Interesting, but very very disturbing. I don't know why, but that's probably the most disturbing pairing I can think of in SW. Jag/Kyp is less disturbing, at least to me. -----signature----- ... J/J ... Go Wings! Woo hoo!

I can definitely see McEwok's hand in this, given that he once wrote a fic about Anakin Solo and Mara Jade I didn't find it disturbing in the least, but I think I would a Han/Tahiri fic Good job.

	Certainly different. Interesting premise, good solid writing style, and it's a lot less disturbing than The Graduate. If she was going to find another man after Han's death, I don't doubt she'd find another hotshot pilot, although I'd personally expect a bit less of an age difference. Man, family gatherings must be weird after that... -----signature----- Yes, I'm maybe possibly back.

	I try not to think of it as disturbing, but a funny exchange from Indiana Jones comes to mind. Henry: I'm just as human as the next man.

	Ishie: Well, that's one I've never considered. This from the woman who wrote the only successful Han/Mara that I’ve every read? I figure that if you can do that, you can do anything. That was a hint, by the way. psstwriteajagandleiaplease Lola64: Wow. Way to go Leia, kissing him back. How could she resist? Yeah, that's what I say… zettazofia: I think that is the most disturbing pairing I've ever read. Really? Thanks! What would his parents say? What would Jaina say? What would anyone say? That’s a good question…Back, back, plotbunnies! Guess what your questions have spawned! A sequel! Congratulations… lol. Interesting, but very very disturbing. I thrive on controversy. I don't know why, but that's probably the most disturbing pairing I can think of in SW. Jag/Kyp is less disturbing, at least to me. Really? I can think of some truly awful ones – Kyp/Tahiri…no, damn, I could write that too… I do note that your bio says Ship that makes me feel yuckiest: Jag/Leia. Was that all for me? I’m flattered… Arin Atona: This hurts my brain. Take some aspirin. I, ah, well.. Jag and Leia? Burnt acorns and fine wine. Honestly, though, couldn’t you say the same about Han and Leia? That is their charm… YodaKenobi: “ ” Just ‘cause Jag is her daughter’s boyfriend doesn’t mean she’s going to support him wholeheartedly. “ ” shrugs He’s a pilot, they don’t have any survival instincts. You have courage, Elena strikes a heroic pose I imagine the the J/Jers will run you off the boards with pitch forks and torches, but I enjoyed it. waves hand Let ‘em come. I can definitely see McEwok's hand in this, given that he once wrote a fic about Anakin Solo and Mara Jade Crud, you’re right! You know what this means? This means that I’m Vader to his Palpatine – or Pelleaon to his Admiral… I didn't find it disturbing in the least, but I think I would a Han/Tahiri fic How ‘bout Kyp/Tahiri? I hope this isn't a one-poster No, I’ve been inspired. I think…Leia, then Jaina, then Syal. Hey! Why is it that if you dislike Jag so much, you keep reading my stuff? JalendaviLady: Certainly different. Interesting premise, good solid writing style, and it's a lot less disturbing than The Graduate. If she was going to find another man after Han's death, I don't doubt she'd find another hotshot pilot, although I'd personally expect a bit less of an age difference. Man, family gatherings must be weird after that... “Jaina – I’d like you to call me dad from now on…” kellaina: Ok... that was odd. But weirdy plausible. Nice work! Thanks! Weirdly plausible…Maybe I should make it my motto… Ishie: You just couldn’t stay away… I try not to think of it as disturbing, but a funny exchange from Indiana Jones comes to mind. Henry: I'm just as human as the next man. Indy: I was the next man, Dad. Guess what? You’ve just given me the inspiration for the mother/daughter talk! I’ll be sure to credit you… Thrawn: [insert smilies here] Was that your running reaction throughout the ‘fic? and the radio rumbles through the loud bit with the live artillery bombardment at the end of the 1812 overture grins proudly Judging from the reactions…I think I’m almost famous. oddly proud to be responsible for this 'un You should be… all that talk about Anakin/Mara really spawned this – the Jag/Leia comment just set it off… Stick it in your sig – “inspiration for Jag/Alema and Jag/Leia!” [More detailed thoughts may go here... ] Well? I want some serious review! Don't go giving me ideas!! Han is Anakin concentrate. GreatOne: I would hope, sincerely hope, that Han would come back and haunt Leia to the end of her days for something SOOOOO evil and twisted! People get remarried – and it’s not like it’s ben two months or anything…more like five years… EDIT - Tell me this was all just a really BAD dream Han was having... and he wakes Leia up out of a sound sleep and says, "Honey, when I die, promise me you won't marry Jag..." Nope, it’s real – Han is dead, Jaina is the equivalent to Col. Jack O’Neill, and after a few conversations on Dark Paths, you tend to think of Jag as the 20-something cynic of the NJO. Much as Han was the the 20-something cynic of the OT… I KNOW! I KNOW!!! Write one where Mara dies and Luke marries Tenel Ka!! Sorry, Tenel Ka and Kyp are an item. Luke’s just going to have to settle for Shada D’ukal… RedGold: Now that was twisted... I liked. No one can resist me! evil laughter Izzie: I'm morbidly fascinated...is there any more? Yes. MistiWhiteSun: What kellaina said. [blink] Yikes. That's freaky. Keep writing!
