Great to see an update on this story. grin And what an update! Short but powerful. wink I liked the way that Luke tried to cover what he really saw initially -- it's very much in character for him to do so, especially at this point in the timeline, considering what he's recently been through. And when he reveals what he really sees.... wow. You captured his mindset so well, and I loved the way you did it. Poor Luke...

Great post, hoping to see more soon...

A post! shock

*falls over dead of shock*

*revives*

You know, Elli, I remember years ago when I first looked at your profile, it had that line about your morbid fascination with the Dark Side, and how you'd outgrow it eventually. Well, you sure haven't outgrown it yet, have you? tongue You're like the Peter Pan of the Dark Side, my morbid darling. You might as well admit it. tongue

Excellently creepy update, dear. kiss (I mean, devil )

I put the cards away.

I never used that set of inkblots again.


Whoa. Yeah, I'd not want to use them again either.

Dang, Luke. Quite the creepy responses.

Jedi-2B - *laughs* Hopefully not. tongue Probably not, given that it's summertime, but I dunno. I'm a strange one, so always a possibility. Glad you're hanging in there, though. happy

RedGold - There'll be more. Eventually. blush Because this is, you know, really all I had left, and I have no idea what's happening next ... *is working on it*

Handmaiden_Azul - I like creepy. wink It's what I do. tongue Creepy, dark, delicious, all that jazz. But no, no PM list. I'll try to be ... you know, visible, though ...

Knight_Aragorn - Meh, I think this was supposed to go before the bit with Luke describing the Force, initially, but then the story went way too dark way too fast. thinking Dunno if it's any better here, but it's what I've got. tongue Thanks! happy

Gabri - Peter Pan of the Dark Side? I like that. grin devil Love ya, Gabri!

princess_of_naboo - Luke's mildly messed up at the moment. tongue But we knew that, else he wouldn't be seeing a shrink. thinking Poor Lukie. hugs

This story has a good combination of humor and darkness. I'm glad you updated it.

First time reader here--didn't have to wait a year for an update. I would have cried. wink

What a great short-story. Love the idea of Luke speaking with a psychiatrist, and so funny that she has a crush on him. Who wouldn't? laugh But the darkness, just under the humor--especially with those inkblots--wow!

Excellent work!

I can't beleive I've never read this before. This is such an interesting storyline. And the writing is excellent. applause

The begining of this Fic had me laughing outloud. And the inkblots are so telling to Luke's trauma.

I would love it if profic would write the Jedi as real beings that can't just heal their emotional trauma with only a few moments of meditation. As we saw with Anakin Skywalker, Jedi are real people and have real problems just like everyone else and it's great to see this real side of Luke. If the Jedi Order had taken Anakin's promblems serously and had him spend some time on the couch he probably wouldn't have fallen to the DS.

Oh and please have the doctor find out more about Luke's feelings for Mara, the red/gold comment was wonderful! Great Work!!

He's in your hands now you can't just leave him to meditate. grin

Please update soon Luke needs your help to heal from his trauma and pain. praying

And please put me on you PM list.

Thanks.

J-S

Oh, an update!!! dancing I'm so glad I didn't miss it, even though it wasn't exactly all butterflies and rainbows.

Hope you do get the chance to add some more.
