Voz,
By the way, I forgot to mention that I checked out that song after you replied -- it is so perfect for them.

Another emotional update, I am impressed with "older" Jaina and her ability to let go of her worries (now there is a lesson I have to repeatedly re-learn). Also, her speech on what went wrong and how it no longer mattered was fitting... certainly after 30 years they have let it go. Yet, the tension leading up to it was right, too. Awesome work with the setting and details, sounds like the dream dinner date to me.

It is so nice to see my favorite SW character receive a little "wooing", who would have thought it? wink

I can't wait to see where this goes....

love

Voz, you've captured a perfect evening--a reunion befitting two aging lovers long parted. There is a maturity to your writing that is just right for your middle-aged J/J and you continue to capture their emotions so very well.

Bravo!!

I'll be watching for more!

Wonderful update!

I loved Jaina thinking of her mother as she looked for something to wear. I'm glad she learned to appreciate some of Leia's less-Jedi talents as she grew older. I loved Leia's advice on picking dresses laugh

You have captured their mature selves very well. I appreciate how much you consideration you've given their adult personalities.

I can't wait to see what the morning brings them love

Am I the only one who has a bad feeling about the morning after? For some reason I can't help but think something might go wrong. worried

I hope I'm just being overly paranoid. praying

oldj's right... You definitely do have an air of maturity wafting through this story.

Not only was that very sweet, but I found it very well metered. They took their time getting close again, but it wasn't so long that I felt a need to yell at either of them. And there's a bit of a subtly to the whole thing.


I'm curious to see if Jag and Jaina cross paths again in the upcoming profic and if so, what their reactions will be to each other.... or if it is really going to take them 30 years to be able to say "that's all in the past."

Nice job again.

Ah Voz, this story is adorable!!

I agree with Oldj, you definitly have this maturity sound in your writing which is perfect! As I read this story I kept thinking of Oldj's drawing of an aged Jaina and Jag, it just so beautifully reflects their age.

I would love to added to your PM list if you don't mind

Can't wait for more!

Wow, everyone. I am continually amazed and honored by the response to this story! I hope I can keep up the good work and don’t disappoint you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading! love hugs

Replies:

Verybusy: Thank you so much for reading, VB. hugs I’m so glad you like it!

Jedi-Jade: Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. grin

Jaynasolofel:

By the way, I forgot to mention that I checked out that song after you replied -- it is so perfect for them.

I’m glad you looked it up. I’m contemplating including the various songs that inspire these chapters in the author’s notes, just as an added bonus. Knowing that you looked up the song encourages that line of thought. What do you think?

Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad to see them get a bit of whooing too, even if it’s long over-due in this story. I’m just not sure you’re going to like where it goes next… worried

Darkladypurplepencil: I’m glad you like it! grin I just hope you’re still enthusiastic after this next post… wink

JainaJag14:

The description of dinner was great, and their transition to dancing was perfect. I loved it. love

Thank you! I was actually concerned about that particular tranisition, so it’s great to know that it worked. And you’re very welcome on the PM. Thanks for wanting it! hugs

Oldjedinurse: Thank you so much for your kind comments, Oldj. It’s so wonderful to know that the maturity they have here shines through my writing. That’s such a great compliment – I am truly honored. Thanks again for reading. I hope you like this next post. It’s very… mature, even if it’s not our ideal turn of events.

Ccp: Thanks for your comments, Cowboy. I’m glad you’re liking it. You actually helped me through a bit of writer’s block I was experiencing in writing the last few posts to this story. Thanks for the help!! hugs

Lyne: grin Glad to see someone shared my smile. And yes, there was some DEFINITE interaction, huh! You called it… Thanks for reading!

Padawanlost: Yeah, I have to admit, the dress bit was an idea adapted from some advice from my leadership teacher, way back in high school. Whenever we asked how long an essay should be, he would always respond with this: “An essay should be like a good dress. Long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your attention.” It’s always stuck with me and so I was excited to include it! Thank you for your comments, compliments and continued patronage. And I hope you like the morning… hugs

Master_Vicky: No comment. I’ve said enough. plain

Darth_dragon: Wow! shock Thank you for such high praise. I’m so honored. Thank you for taking the time to read. I hope you continue to enjoy this story. rose

Solo_and_Fel: Thank you for you kind words. I can’t tell you how much they mean to me.

Not only was that very sweet, but I found it very well metered. They took their time getting close again, but it wasn't so long that I felt a need to yell at either of them. And there's a bit of a subtly to the whole thing.

I’m so glad you think so. I was worried about that, and put a lot of thought into it. Just how fast was too fast? Well, that’s a question that’s yet to be answered, I think. Time will tell. I too can’t wait until they meet again in Profic. Jag’s way to cool of a character for them to give up, IMO. And the Legacy comics made the reunion promising…

Thanks for reading!

G_Anakin: A man of few words, I see. happy Nonetheless, your response is just as appreciated. Thanks for reading! hugs

Madame_Solo: A new reader! grin Thanks for stopping by, Flygirl! I can’t believe you all love this so much. It’s so great to see an idea and story you’ve harbored in your head and heart for so long be enjoyed by others, isn’t it? And shock I thought of Oldj’s drawing too! Pretty fitting, huh?! You’ve definitely been added to the PM list! hugs

Chimpo: Comsuming or Comsumating the reunion?? Maybe a bit of both? wink The morning should definitely be interesting. Thanks for reading!


Again, thank you guys for reading. I’m so honored by your comments and responses. Thank you for sticking with it. I can say with reasonable certainty that we’re about half way through, so there’s lots left to come!

Look for more tomorrow. love

Telanna’tani
