Oh, this is so sad, so clever, so unexpected!

She kisses me, and I force myself to respond. This just captures the essense of sadness here for me. It really sums up what he is thinking.


Both Horns grimace and rub their legs, while Mirax smiles. Under any other set of circumstances, I would have been highly amused. But now, a sick feeling rides up through my stomach while Mirax embraces me. Funny how a bit of humor can make the situation seem even sadder! poor Kyppie! and really poor Jysella too.


I love it and I'm eagerly awaiting more. Great job, its very unique.

Uh...well, Jaina's already a tid bit young for Kyp but Jysella?
Different. Unexpected, but different.

Great writing, Alkibiades! (see, I got your name right this time tongue )

Unexpected is a reaction I'm starting to get used to happy . Sad, yes, that's what I was aiming for.

Yes; that father - son-in-law relationship would probably be a bit stiff. grin Poor Kyp... Poor Jysella? Maybe... Did you read the Hornblower series? Kyp/Jysella here is really a shadow of the Horatio/Maria marriage.

More will probably have to wait to next Tuesday; I'm somewhat busy now.

Thank you! I always pictured Mirax as someone to drill Corran and Valin mercilessly. Glad it worked. happy

Would you say so? Probably, yes. I doubt if an older woman would fall for his rogue-like charms... So like Han in that aspect.

True, true... A reason to write it too - a lot of people here seem concerned with age differences. It's only twice the Han/Leia age difference! ( grin ) For me, in a romantic relationship, 25 years is the limit (it starts with an M...). Still, Thrawn/Leia is thirty years, when you account for time very strictly - 35 to 40 is more likely - and nobody complained - someone even hoped the involvement would become romantic...

Everyone, hugs thank you for your kind comments and feedback. And it was good to see you two again, PGHS_Weyr and Ceillean!

Yours, Alkibiades

At first I was shocked to see you writing a J/J, and then I saw the 2x K/J, and I sorta snickered.

What can I say, I like Kyp/Jysella. I think I'm pretty burnt to age differences in Star Wars fanfiction - Kyp/Mara, Kyp/Jysella, Thrawn/Leia(even though the way Chiss age makes that understandable.) Hey, for all we know humans in the Star Wars 'verse age differently than us Earthlings. You never know. tongue

Anyway, great job explaining Kyp's emotions. I feel so bad for him here, even though I am a serious J/J shiper. That he was going to propose to Jaina, only to have Jag beat him to it was heartbreaking - as was his lack of emotional involvement with his marriage to Jys. Poor Jys. too. sad

Can't wait to see the second part. applause

I can still surprise you? For this might not turn out as you seem to think it will.

The Chiss aging process may make it understandable, but on the other hand, Chiss are considered to be grown up at age ten. Something to remember? confused
And Kyp/Jysella - I know, I know, I've seen all the Benella 'fics, but all we know of Jys's age is that she was born after 15 ABY. In this 'fic, she is born in 15 ABY, and thus is 22 years Kyp's junior. And Kyp/Mara is only ten years, versus eleven for Han/Leia.

Lack of emotional involvement? He is emotionally involved - if he wasn't, he would not have married her. It's just... Empathy and guilt are not the emotions on which most marriages are built.

Great update! applause


Today is the ninth anniversary of their wedding – ours will be in three weeks – and this is the precise day he picks for his return.

In a body bag.


shock

I expected a lot but not Jag's death. Absolutely not expected.

So now I'm wondering what else you've got up your sleeve. ^^

Great story!

Edit: hold on. Did I read correctly? 11 kids?!
They must have nerves of steele

Sith!

Fel has not been on Ossus since they were married, but today he returned. Today is the ninth anniversary of their wedding – ours will be in three weeks – and this is the precise day he picks for his return.

I so wasn't expecting that. Glad Kyp finally found a happy place for himself with his wife. Great job!

11 kids?! rolling_eyes

Nein! Uh-oh, real German ahead. I only took the course in reading German at school. Basically, I can read and understand a textbook on Aerodynamics, but I couldn't conjugate a verb if my life depended on it. So sorry! blush

Spreek je Nederlands? whistling Lets see what that could be... Sprechen Sie Niederlandisch? I know I have no Umlaut. Sorry.

Maybe you should reread the last paragraph, as this is the final part. You have to read in-between the lines a bit.

If the genetics are sound, between 12 and 18 conceptions is completely normal. It's just that most modern-day western culture forbids having more than three children.

Maybe Jysella was intent on doubling the size of the Jedi Order? laugh tongue

Seriously, I have known many large families, one even with twenty-one children. It's a bit busier - that's all.

Shameless UP, hoping to garner some more feedback.

Someone reply? MJ? What did you think?
