shock

You aren't going to kill Luke, are you? You're going to have Mara save him and not kill Leia and they'll all forgive and forget and end up living happily ever after in matching houses with white picket fences....



Oh, who am I kidding? Bring on the angst! tongue

Fantastic post! applause

I so want a happy ending for my Farmboy, but I doubt that I am going to get it. I look forward to seeing the next post.

Great job!

Guess it's past time to come out of lurkdom, and proclaim what an incredible story this is. And each post just seems to be getter better. Not better for those who want a happy ending for Luke, however. I'm as much a Luke-lover as anyone, and I hate admitting this, but I see the best ending for Luke as being his dying. He is torn up inside by the pain of his darkness. Release from that would be a blessing of sorts -- in the arms of his beloved Mara, of course, who is the only thread of light that he has to cling to.

Loved the alternating scenes in this last post, and the symbolism of the intertwining fingers in each. My theory is that Mara knows (or highly suspects) that the Alliance's attack is imminent. She spent years with the Rebels, and they've been planning this attack for years. It seemed that her asking Luke to dance was a way for them to have one last instance of being together, of forgetting for a few moments all the horrors that have happened, of remembering the few good times they'd had together. She truly loves him, and he loves her.

Anxiously awaiting the ending posts. grin

It was on her fifteenth day in the darkness of the Nirauan cave when Mara Jade awoke to discover a rescuer had finally arrived.
It was not, however, any of the potential rescuers she would have expected.
It was Luke.
~~And the rest is history~~

That was awesome!

I just loved the way you juxtaposed Luke and Mara's dancing with the Rebel planning. Can't wait to see what happens between Luke and Leia as well as how Luke reacts to the attack.

*Stands in awe of excellent post*

The back and forth between Luke and Mara, and then the Rebels was just amazing . . .

Han's anger was set in stark contrast to Luke and Mara's dance. It showed that Luke still has some good in him, despite the fact that he is of the dark side. I must applaud this. It truly shows that in war there is innocence in some form on both sides. This post has given me more theories. Hmmm....

And I agree with 2B. Mara had to know that this was going to happen.

WHOOPS

I knew Han would come for her, I knew it....

He better at least get a romantic reunion with Leia, even if you plan on killing them off

I hope you don't kill Han and Leia...

BUT HE'S COMING

Mirax_Corran: But where's Hobbie?

Hobbie, yes, Hobbie…. There was a reason I left him out, but I can’t remember what it was now. Probably not a good reason. Um… maybe we should just say he was … on holiday? thinking

So Han is going to try and save Leia.

Leia being captured was the last straw for the Rebels. Time to act…

JadeLotus: Poor Han, he's lost that Solo spark.

shock Never! wink

Glad you liked the split scene technique. It was more difficult than I thought it would be to write, so I’m glad it worked in the end. grin

The_Pariah: tongue Thank you!

lurker2209: Thank you!

So sad that there are so few posts left in this!

Well, there will probably be a sequel if it’s any consolation…

DarthIshtar: Thanks! grin Glad you liked it.

RebelPrincess: I loved how you kept switching between the dance of Luke and Mara and the "dance" of war - looks like Han and the New Alliance are setting things into motion.

Thank you. I thought it might be a little hard to follow, so I’m glad everyone seems to like it. tongue And I like that line you picked out as well. wink Thanks for reading! grin

Jedi_Anais: *blinks* White picket fences? Well, I can definitely say that’s not a possibility at the moment. tongue Ah, angst, isn't it great?

RedGold: Thank you! grin

AG88: I so want a happy ending for my Farmboy, but I doubt that I am going to get it.

Well, you never know. It all depends on your definition of ‘happy’, I suppose...

Jedi2B: This post definitely seems to have flushed out the lurkers… tongue

I'm as much a Luke-lover as anyone, and I hate admitting this, but I see the best ending for Luke as being his dying. He is torn up inside by the pain of his darkness. Release from that would be a blessing of sorts -- in the arms of his beloved Mara, of course, who is the only thread of light that he has to cling to.

Hmm…. thinking Interesting theory. grin

My theory is that Mara knows (or highly suspects) that the Alliance's attack is imminent. She spent years with the Rebels, and they've been planning this attack for years.

It does seem likely… and of course, she knows Han and knows what he would do to get his wife back.

It seemed that her asking Luke to dance was a way for them to have one last instance of being together, of forgetting for a few moments all the horrors that have happened, of remembering the few good times they'd had together.

It almost seemed as though she were trying to tell him something… mischief

Anxiously awaiting the ending posts.

Great to have you reading. grin

Jedi_BMK: Thank you! happy Yes, there are some interesting events ahead. tongue

Killik_Twilight: *blushes* Thank you!

StarFighter5: Han's anger was set in stark contrast to Luke and Mara's dance. It showed that Luke still has some good in him, despite the fact that he is of the dark side. I must applaud this. It truly shows that in war there is innocence in some form on both sides.

Mara’s tears are in contrast with Han’s words, certainly. Perhaps evil isn’t as absolute as Han and the others think it is? But how absolute is it?

This post has given me more theories.

Ah, theories… tongue

FelsGoddess: I think Luke has a lot of people ticked. Being an evil tyrant can have that effect, unfortunately… wink Thanks for reading!

SoloEvenstar: Yup, Han’s coming… Will he be in time?? shock

I hope you don't kill Han and Leia...

Would I do that? batting Thanks for reading! happy

Shoot! I missed a post....I had to go, first to my own prom and then to my boyfriend's prom...I never want to see a strobe light again!

But, I'm back and I love the chapter. The alliteration between Luke and Mara's dancing and the shifting of events leading to the rebel attack. Very good. I can't wait until the next chapter.
