Well done again Oba. You do seem to love making those two dance around each other raised_brow

*falls over and dies of shock*


tongue


'Tis lovely, my dear. love No angst! grin Well, except for Luke's angsty thoughts that took him to the roof of the Temple in the middle of the night. But like Michele said, there's no dying, no divorcing, and no turning to the Dark Side. I'd add no suicides or executions, as well. You exercised remarkable restraint, darling. wink It's appreciated. hugs

“I ... appreciate the effort, but I really don’t want to talk about it,” he says to me with an earnest, blue-eyed gaze full-on.

I turn away, musing on whether to accept that. But ... he has always been willing to back down when I needed it. He never pushes me hard, finishing my training excepted. He never asks me what it was like being the Emperor’s Hand. He doesn’t ask me if I liked it. He didn’t ask me if I missed it. He doesn’t ask me personal questions. Often.

He accepts.

So I nod, accepting.


My favorite part. love There's definitely some emotional growth on Mara's part, for her to realize that the most helpful thing she could do was simply be there, and for her to have the willingness and self-control not to press matters further than that. Nicely handled. grin

Leia: *is slightly put-out that there was no kissing*

laugh I wouldn't have minded some kissing in this story myself, but oba's response to the possibility of an L/M kissing fic is very worrisome. tongue I've never forgotten 'Of Endings', and what happened after that kiss. [face_traumatized]

And I love that story by Jedi Molly. grin

Michele: No, that's not the line. tongue It's probably not all that confusing a line, really; I just pointed out that if one weren't aware of the initial reference, one might read that line and go, "Huh?" confused Besides, it wouldn't be confusing to you because I'm sure you're well aware of the initial EU reference. tongue

Luke is a masculine den mother. You know it as well as I do. tongue

-_-_ObiWanKenobi_-_-: Thanks. tongue And I plan to. wink

academygrad88: It's not about 'dancing around' what we know to be true - it's about taking those little moments where a connection is made and enjoying them. wink

And thank you. tongue

Jedi-2B: Yes! *indignant* tongue Yes, maybe next time. wink As Gabri said, no, that's not the line. tongue And yeah, Gabri is the loveliest beta ever. grin

Thank you! rose

Neo-Paladin: raised_brow I wasn't trying to frustrate readers ... tongue And thank you. tongue

VaderLVR64: Thank you! grin That's exactly what it is. tongue

Gabri_Jade: You crack me up. silly

hugs *is glad that was appreciated* I've usually been of the opinion that Mara isn't entirely as emotionally immature as we sometimes think of her. She's a fast learner, after all. wink

That story was not that traumatizing. *thwacks* tongue

Thank you, dearest. hugs

TKeira_Lea: You visited one of my threads! shock tongue And yes. Chocolate is ... indescribably good. Especially the good stuff. tongue Thank you! rose

OK, I'll bite. wink Was it the stuff about Lando that could have been confusing since this is pre-VOTF?

Rather than die of shock, I'm just simply grateful to have a little L/M almost-mush from you, obaona. I love all of you fics, even the evil, angsty, depressing ones wink , but nice to read this beautiful offering.

I turn away, musing on whether to accept that. But ... he has always been willing to back down when I needed it. He never pushes me hard, finishing my training excepted. He never asks me what it was like being the Emperor’s Hand. He doesn’t ask me if I liked it. He didn’t ask me if I missed it. He doesn’t ask me personal questions. Often.

He accepts.

So I nod, accepting.


*sigh*. Such a perfect indication of their relationship.

Thank you.

Guilty lurker.... blush It's not my fault! *Points to evil exams* tongue Lovely story as always, obaona. I really enjoy your writing, angsty or not. This was a great scene between them -- I like Luke's slight vulnerability and Mara's uncertainty. The hug at the end was very nice as well. love Fantastic work!
