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

RE: Out of the Darkness (L/M mush vignette)
*falls over and dies of shock*
'Tis lovely, my dear.
No angst!
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.
It's appreciated.
“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.
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.
Leia:
*is slightly put-out that there was no kissing*
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.
I've never forgotten 'Of Endings', and what happened after
that
kiss. [face_traumatized]
And I
love
that story by Jedi Molly.
Michele:
No, that's not the line.
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?"
Besides, it wouldn't be confusing to you because I'm sure you're well aware of the initial EU reference.
Luke
is
a masculine den mother. You know it as well as I do.

: Thanks.
And I plan to.

: 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.
And thank you.
Jedi-2B
: Yes! *indignant*
Yes, maybe next time.
As Gabri said, no, that's not the line.
And yeah, Gabri is the loveliest beta ever.
Thank you!
Neo-Paladin

I wasn't
trying

And thank you.
VaderLVR64
: Thank you!
That's exactly what it is.
Gabri_Jade
: You crack me up.
*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.
That story was not
that
traumatizing. *thwacks*
Thank you, dearest.
TKeira_Lea
: You visited one of my threads!
And yes. Chocolate is ... indescribably good. Especially the good stuff.
Thank you!

That story was so that traumatising.
Lovely, oba! Though I wouldn't have minded kiss, this ficlet is just fine without it.
Wonderful job!

Ah, L/M mush...
I particularly enjoyed cagey Luke. He's much better with the ladies than his daddy.

Cute!
OK, I'll bite.
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
, 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.

I think I'll just squeal over the L/Mness. It was wonderful.

: Was not.
And thank you!
I think it's just fine without a kiss, too.
Darth_Lex
: LMAO.
You're probably right - poor Ani ...
Thank you.
TKeira_Lea
: *laughs* I'll keep that in mind.
*gives lurker a HUG*
Jedi Trace
: Thanks.
And nope, that's not it.
JadeLotus
:
Wow, thank you.
I think it's nice to read something that's - relaxing, sometimes.
Thank you again.

Thank you!

Guilty lurker....
It's not my fault! *Points to evil exams*
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.
Fantastic work!
