Stargazer-19:
Erm, no. I warned you though, didn't I?
There are going to be two parts to this story, and you see more of what's going through Luke's head in the second part. Hopefully he becomes a little more sympathetic... if that's possible.
I'll just say, not everything with him is what it seems.
Mara... is also not quite what she seems. You'll see what I mean later.
Jedi_BMK:
So I'm good at writing creepy stalker people? Maybe I should be worried by that.
But I'll stress again, things between Luke and Mara aren't exactly what they seem. I know it looks a certain way now, but... you'll see.
There'll be more of Mara soon, don't worry.
Thanks for reading!
AG88:
I thought he was going to kill his own sister.
Heh. Heh. Hold that thought.
How did I guess you'd pick up on the 'perversions' thing?
Leia didn't go into detail, so I won't either. Not going near the thing with the Ewok...
JadeLotus:
Well, Mara didn't have a lot of places left to go. If you're on the run from the emperor (whichever one), I guess the Rebellion's a good place to be. As for she and Leia...
Mara's not a real easy person to be friends with, especially this Mara. But there's more on that later, so I won't give away too much.
Vespasian was actually an emperor in ancient Rome -- I came across the name when I was doing a history assignment a few years ago. Nothing more meaningful than that, I'm afraid.
Thanks for reading!

Okay, not that was deliciously dark!
I hope Han wasn't in that group of Rebels!
Anyway, great job! Can't wait for more!

Oooh, your Dark Luke is sooo evil! It's delicious!
Poor Leia, having to struggle through such defeats and still have the strength to carry on. And...Han better not have been in the group that was killed
This will really be something when Luke finally gets his hands on Mara.

Now, Luke, didn't your aunt teach you any manners? Threatening your sister like that is really naughty! Wait until she finds out she's related to you!
Once he finds Mara he will really have his hands full.
A wonderful and unique story!

Very interesting! At what point does this story become AU?
I really like your characterizations, although the spitting thing is really old. (But someone should tell Leia that, not you...)

Updates are beautiful.
Luke fits well into this role the way you write him, and Leia was brilliant. She was still herself, but a little more hard edged. I loved his description of Mara. It really defines her personality.
I'm curious about the twist that you're going to show us later. I'm anxious to see what it is.

The Rebel Alliance was dead.
Or so he thought. In the ensuing years, he began to suspect that they were not as obliterated as he had hoped. Their losses had been considerable, yes, and their numbers were severely depleted. But they had somehow managed to survive.
And I think they would always survive. There’s no way to wipe out all resistance.
It hurts, he thought, staring into the battle-fire. It wasn’t supposed to, but it did. Angry pain, weeping lines of blood and ash that twined forever in his heart.
I could write a love sonnet for this bit.
It’s really cool.
At last, alone in the debris, he surrendered. He fell to his knees and wept.
“Damn you,” he choked. “Damn you. Damn you. Damn you.”
Whoa. It’s just so sad how this is absolutely destroying him—and sad, of course, that he’s Dark!Luke in the first place.
But to see a person so consumed is…amazing, really.
She moved like a dancer, spoke like a noblewoman, and fought like a demon.
Ooh, so true.
Luke Skywalker clenched his fists, and whispered to the universe, “Next time, you will be mine.”
Heeee. This makes me think of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget: “I’ll get you, Gadget!”

, you have such stunning descriptions.

Great post!

Now that...was awesome!
Such deliciously wonderful angst. Luke is so evil and its so wonderful. He came so close to Mara and she still slipped away.
I love it!

Uh huh.
Redgold:
I hope Han wasn't in that group of Rebels!
I never thought of that! No, Han’s safe, don’t worry. Thanks for reading!
LadyPadme:
Yes, Leia’s been through a bit. Things aren’t looking like improving anytime soon now that Luke has her. Considering that she’s the only thing standing between he and Mara….
This will really be something when Luke finally gets his hands on Mara.
Not too far away now…
VaderLVR64:
Now, Luke, didn't your aunt teach you any manners?
Ah, now that’s the question….
A wonderful and unique story!
Thank you!
Maryaminx:
Luke’s past is explored a little further on. He’s had a very different upbringing to canon Luke, I’ll say that much.
And I know the spitting thing is old – I wouldn’t normally use it except that the scene was modelled vaguely on ANH and Leia spits on Vader then if I recall correctly… Or maybe that was in the novelisation. Anyway. Luke deserved it, didn’t he?
Starfighter5:
Thanks!
The entire Rebellion is more hard-edged given their losses and the fact they’re been fighting so long now with so little result. And Luke’s a very different enemy to Palpatine or even Vader.
It’s not really a twist per se….
This first section is more or less an extended intro – the real meat of the story is in the second part. You see a lot more of what Luke’s thinking and how he sees himself and others. Like… Mara, for example?
One more post to finish this first section, and then you’ll see what I mean.
Leia:
And I think they would always survive. There’s no way to wipe out all resistance.
True – especially with an emperor who is as careless as Luke is. If he’d only focus more on his people and less on Mara and the Rebellion, maybe things wouldn’t be so bad….
It’s just so sad how this is absolutely destroying him—and sad, of course, that he’s Dark!Luke in the first place. But to see a person so consumed is…amazing, really.
Poor Luke, I seem to torment him so...
This makes me think of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget: “I’ll get you, Gadget!”
My early influences shining through…
All Luke needs now is a cat to stroke as he hatches his evil plans.
DarthIshtar:
Things don’t get better for Leia….
AvenKiel:
Creepy Luke is fun, isn’t he?
Thanks for reading.
Killik_Twilight:
I shudder to think what love will make him do . . .
You’ll see… Thanks for reading!
Jaina_Solo_15:
Thank you!
Luke thought he had her there -- he should have known better.
It takes more than that to capture Mara Jade.... Glad you're enjoying the story.
Edit:
Modernism:
Thank you! As for the rest, I'm going to be an evil author and make you wait and find out... It's more fun that way, right?

Of course not, that's what makes fics like this worth it!
