	Fantastic post! This is such a great concept for a story. I just loved the way you worked that slip of Luke's at the end. Such a small thing, with such huge connotations.... Poor Luke. And I liked the 'Red.... Gold' line as well. Very nice touch. Great work!

	That was simply EXCELLENT, Elli! Really very cool character study that you're doing. And I love the psychiatrist's POV and the fact that she has the hots for Luke when she so clearly shouldn't And that last slip...could this be the foreshadowing of something darker to come? Dark? From VADER_INCARNATE? Nah... -----signature----- Evil Twin of Gabri_Jade When a baby smiles the world is happy

	You wouldn't think just saying simple words would mean much, but apparently they do. I can tell that Luke thinks a lot about Mara and that the Emperor did a number on him. The doctor better keep an eye on her thoughts. LUst is an emotion Jedi can pick up on pretty quickly. -----signature----- Short Story: Pressure Point http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/26961243/p1/?7 Jacen Solo and Anakin Skywalker - as it should have been.

	I haven't read Dark Empire, but i've heard enough to know that Luke probably did need some serious professional help. Wonderful fic! I like the reference to the "galaxy's worst kept secret" -----signature----- You are the only thing that makes sense Just ignore all this present tense

	lol! Ok! I liked how it started out, with Luke saying the first word that came to him and everything and thought that whole sequence was cute. But (like everyone else) I was so sad when he said his answer for "Emperor" ! But it will be very interesting to see what other issues Luke has during his time with the Palpatine. Excellent job!!!! And good luck with everything too! -----signature----- JOIN THE MUFFIN SIDE DEXTER!!!! Igiari!!!! That's the playful side of Torgo. He's the clown that makes the dark side fun.

	oba - Thanks for reading, dearest, and I'm glad you're enjoying it! Veskasa is my first serious attempt to work with an OC who's anything other than a plot device, so I'm glad she's working out, too. Glad you liked the line about the Emperor, too ... I hope I can do this justice. O_o Neo-Paladin - LOL, it seemed too rushed to me. Which is why the inkblot portion of the test is currently sitting on my desktop waiting for me to deal with its many and varied issues. O_o Thank you! StarFighter5 - And thanks for reading, dear! Knight_Aragorn - Yes, poor Luke. He needs more love! And, personally, I was kinda sad that Mara wasn't in DE ... anyway. She needs to have her just due or else she'll find a way to beat me up. Thanks! LP - laughs Thank you! So easy to develop the hots for Luke Skywalker, though. Darker things to come? Me? Oh, LP, you know me too well ... RM - It must have been a pain for Luke to be around fangirls. But yes, word associations = fun. I'd imagine the HM Word Association game would drive Veskasa to distraction. JadeLotus - Thank you! I liked the idea behind Dark Empire, but I didn't like the execution all that much, or the way they handled the aftermath. Eh. But I guess that's why I write 'fic about it. JediVegeta - More issues than Galactic Geographic, I assure you. So many of our favorite GFFA characters would have benefited from a visit to the shrink. Thank you! Valin_Halcyon - Thank you. It didn't start out as a very serious fic, but as I delve deeper into the issues it's getting pretty heavy. Here's to hoping I can do it justice! -----signature----- La sang et le vin ont la meme couleur. I think, therefore I am. I dream, therefore I become. Zelré, Handmaiden of the Crest

	^-^ Great story so far! I can't wait to see this play out!!! Luke, in a therapist's office...well, technically, she's the psychiatrist, who makes the diagnosis, and then he'd be paired with a psychologist who'd help him through his problems. But I guess since he's just getting a profile done, he'll get to skip that. ^-^ That'd be an interesting sequel, though. Peace of the Lord! ~Ari. -----signature----- I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. Rebel of a different sort.

	Very interesting so far. I like that Luke's therapist has the hots for him. But who can blame her. Who wouldn't melt under the gaze of those beautiful blue eyes. I also like how you put in the Red-Gold reference. Great job, I look forward to more. Good luck with your black belt test. Are you going for your 1st Dan?

	Just when I thought this was going to be a simple humor fic you throw a dark twist into it! The juxtaposition was done very nicely; I think the professional distance between the patient and psychologist allows that to work without seeming morbid. ~Lurker -----signature----- "When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages a sick sense of failure falls on me and I know I can never do it.

	Figures that Luke's therapist would have the hots for him... sighs poor boy... and yeah, the Red/Gold thing was brilliant.. as was the whole word association exercise.

	LOL, my shrink is very ... honest. I noticed Which, of course, is one of the greatest perks of the first-person narrative and all that. Interesting point- I might just have to try doing a first-person narrative sometime And Luke's just a dear no matter what. Oh, definitely. Anyway, moving on to the new, fantastic post Again, your shrink is honest, and I love how she was constantly trying not to think "lustful" thoughts about Luke, at least, once he said he could pick up on emotions. And that "Emporer-Master" bit was very...heartbreaking. The way you wrote it seems so simple, but very powerful. And the "power-converters" made me laugh. Not quite sure why, but I found it interesting, his choice of words there, especially considering that where she went with the bunch of words that followed after. So in conclusion, great job with this! I'm looking forward to more! Ire -----signature----- Handmaiden Irelynné, Handmaiden of the Crest All links to stories in bio!

	Lovely, Elli! Luke blushing is tres cute. That psychiatrist has a lot more restraint than I. I mean honestly, a private room, a couch, and Lukie? The poor boy wouldn't know what hit him, if I were she. In all seriousness, Elli, this is a great story. Love way you gave Mara a little room in the story--"Red-gold".
