OK, so now Jacen seems to have lustful thoughts towards his sister. blush Works though! Just adds more to how odd he is.

I can't believe I wrote sexiest for sexist...well that's easy enough to do. 'Course K/J is sexiest (better than images of old school imp relationships like Daala/Tarkin! shock ).

Cool cool, great update applause . So Jaina is going get command of Vader's old squadron, I wonder what path she'll take on either Han Solo's daughter or captain of a squadron, thinking hmmmm. Well I liked it, can't wait for more.

Yes! I keep telling you that you underestimate yourself! rolling_eyes tongue hugs

Self-degredation is what I do best! dancing tongue

laugh I demand the addition of "galactic domination-y" to every reputable dictionary! cool

Well, I'll call up Webster but being dead... he's awful hard to get ahold of. laugh

But to answer the implied question: Jacen's parents basically own the galaxy and he's the heir. How galactic domination-y do you suppose it can get? raised_brow mischief tongue

Yeah, but canon Jacen sort of started his galactic domination from scratch. This one just... fell into it. thinking Unless I missed something. Which I probably did. rolling_eyes (see above "self-degredation" comment tongue )

worried I'll take the generosity, please! worried

Done! hugs

Just like he's working the Imperial uniform? *has Jacen parade on a catwalk* Work it, baby! You're so hot! tongue wink

*Tim Gunn voice* Make it work! tongue

laugh We might have found a way for you to be more persuasive here. grin mischief I think support for K/J would be quite helpful. If people like it, it can stay. wink

Oh, me like! love

Hey, I just keep trying to please the readers. And... *sniff* And they keep telling me they don't like K/J very muh-huch... cry

Aww... when you cry, I cry! cry

And it may be awesome, brilliant, and slightly twisted, but that's when K/J is at its very best! love kiss They just don't quite understand that yet... Perhaps some more scenes would educate them in K/J goodness? batting

Yeah, well, the thing with Jag got a bit weird... plain

Hmm... history? thinking

laugh Good one! laugh


Thank you, thank you. *takes a bow* cool

I'll just say, keep reading. Tahiri-Rebel interaction coming up soon. mischief

All right! grin

:p Well, any suggestions what he could do to win your favor? batting

I'm not sure yet... but you sure didn't help his cause in that last post! raised_brow Jacen honey, do something so that I can love you! Hug an orphan, take in a stray kitten, stop force-choking people, something! cry tongue

Hah! grin Totally loved it! Had me grin/laugh the whole time during reading and replying. grin hugs

Aw, shucks... blush

shame_on_you I'm starting to have doubts about you making a good apprentice. not_talking wink

Yes, well, my parents had doubts about me being a good child and it turned out they were right... so maybe you're not too far off the mark! tongue Besides, I'm super clumsy... nerd But I'll try to stop revealing the super secret ImperialSolo master plans for world domination! worried tongue

I completely agree! tongue Thank you for volunteering. wink
Ah, just doin' my civic duty... mischief tongue

And I am anxious to see what Jaina decides... a chance at your dream or a reunion with your father, it will most likely be a hard decision. sad Unless she has both, like flying out to see her father in a TIE... sweet! dancing tongue

And comparing her life to her soaps! So funny...I'm still waiting for Anakin to find out that he's his father's long lost brother and Tahiri has clusters of brain tumors or something! laugh tongue And after the shocks you've put me through, I wouldn't be surprised. raised_brow hugs

And I wonder when Farmboy will pop up in all the craziness... whistling tongue

Awesome post, and I'm really looking forward to the next! hugs

Han Solo's daughter, or the commander of Darth Vader's old squadron?

Well, she knew which she wanted to be now, she decided, with a smile.


I would very much like to know which one she decided on.

Great update!

Looking forward to more!

Jacen would enjoy a spanking. grin

I suppose the question I'm really asking is whether you want to see the characters interact mainly in personal situations like the opening J/T scene, or in action like the Tahiri-vs.-Corran duel?
I'd like to see both - balance in other words. (No, I'm not Alema, although I am blue - it's damn cold here. wink ]

I meant to say in my page 5 review that I liked the line where Anakin answers Tahiri and uses her name. The line reminded me, in the cadence of the words, of the line in ESB where Han uses the name Leia for the first time instead of "Princess". happy

Jacen is creeping me out. But I like it. tongue
I wonder who Kyp will react once he finds out Jaina was reassigned.
And still it seems to me Jacen's jealous.
I mean, yelling at her just because she was "kriffing" Kyp? When I read that sentence I couldn't help but laugh. tongue
Great update! applause
Sorry it took so long for me to comment. hugs

Kidan posted:
*first*

Do you want a prize? tongue

Kidan posted:
*cough* okay, now that i've gotten THAT out of the way, let's start taking this apart...

Careful, Doctor Jones... ;
Kidan posted:
Jacen is an odd mixture of Obi-Wan and Vader here. Iron will, coupled with wry amusement, and an insistence on being obeyed rather than allowing someone to grow naturally.

That does bring into question Vader's own actions as a leader of the Imperial Army.

Interesting. Jacen's insistence on being obeyed is probably very like Vader's, but the difference may not be in him at all! ;Perhaps it just shows how Jaina and Tahiri are different from the average Imperial officer...? thinking
Or maybe they've just not been completely trained to obey yet? shock

Kidan posted:
I'm reminded in this of both Obi-wans statement to Anakin at the beginning of AotC, but it also harkens to Vader strangling admirals in the conference room of the Death Star.

The Obi-Wan parallel wasn't intended, but I can totally see what you mean here. shock

Kidan posted:
Jaina though, she reminds me of her father. I have to wonder if this was the feeling that was going through Han Solo's head when he abandoned the Imperial Military? That sense that she's ready to bolt, she doesn't want to be in this cage that Leia (Luke?) and Jacen are trying to put her into.

As far as I know, Han's reaction to defend Chewie was much more instinctive, but I think both of them have the same dislike of cages, yes.
Perhaps, like Jacen, that's just because they're in denial, though? shock

thinking You are giving me a lot to think about here - thanks! grin

Kidan posted:
And that points us to canon's Sword of the Jedi cage which she's stuck in as well.

*nods* plain

Yeah, we're trying to rescue her here. Wanna join in? batting

Oh, wait. You already did... Sort of... ;
Kidan posted:
And of course, this talk of cages once more points us back to Jacen. Has the Vader become his new menagerie? Where he gets to put his favorite animals in new situations at a whim to see how they'll react?

That's a valid comparison. wink whistling

Kidan posted:
Of course, I understand this response as well. After all, Jacen's actions here shows that he does have something of a sister-complex in regards to Jaina. "burying his face in her hair", getting jealous of Kyp for his and Jaina's.... relations... This is not the healthiest of relationships for Jacen, culminating in his almost strangulation of Jaina as she was about to leave his quarters (is Jacen into asphyxiophilia?).

Urk! shock That Vader/Padme parallel was totally unintended. worried
But does Jaina want a shower because of Jacen, or Kyp, or both? ;
Kidan posted:
I'm left wondering if he's going to convince her to kill Kyp Durron in order to ensure she remains faithful to him and the Empire (much the same way Apollo tricked Artemis into killing Orion... though there's no fear anymore of Jaina losing her chastity).

Interesting parallel. Jacen might like it! shock

Kidan posted:
Anyways, a great post, and I'm happily waiting for the next bit of A & T.

Thank you - and you'll see A/T in the next update. grin

iamobiwan1970 posted:

Yeah, Jacen wasn't trained to be quite so... ruthless, quite so early, in canon.
But he's meant to be the same character, and that the ways in which people tried to make him into a hero have some similarities.

Note: Things have been a bit hectic at this end, but here's this week's update. happy



An Old Friend

The General stood on the bridge of the Rake, looking out the forward viewports at the Millennium Falcon. Half the fleet was spread along the space-lanes, looking for Anakin Solo and the old freighter, but he was glad he'd found them first.

He glanced across at the communications console, and saw the Lieutenant in charge lay down his headphones, and start over to report.

"General Baron," the young officer nodded. "I have Captain Solo on the comm. I've told him we'll be sending a shuttle to dock at the starboard airlock."

"Good," the General nodded. "Tell him I'm on my way."

"Yes, sir." A smart salute.

The General turned, his cape flapping behind him, and walked the short distance from the bridge to the Interdictor's scramble hangar. His shuttle was waiting, and the pilot offered him a thumbs-up from the cockpit as he marched up the ramp.

The trip from the cruiser to the Falcon took only a couple of minutes, and then there was the thump as the shuttle met the airlock, the hiss of air as the seal was closed, and the atmosphere aboard the two ships equalized.

The General adjusted the pearl-handled slugthrower pistol at his hip - a present from Mara, years ago - and walked up to the airlock, as the hatch slid open.

Anakin was waiting on the far side, with a very pretty blond girl, barefoot and dressed in civilian clothes. She narrowed her green eyes suspiciously at the new arrival.

Anakin put a protective arm around her shoulder, and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Hey, junior," the General grinned. "Taking after your father, huh?" He turned back to the girl, and offered her his most chivalrous bow, and his brightest smile. "We haven't been introduced, have we?"

Anakin stepped in. "Uncle L--ah, General," he said, with a slightly nervous grin. "This is Lieutenant Veila of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. She didn't actually want to defect, but the Imps got the wrong end of the stick, and tried to kill her too...."

A flicker of surprise flashed like an adder in the green of the girl's eyes, but Anakin pressed on quickly. "She was actually doing a pretty good job of capturing and interrogating me," he said, with a generous grin.

That just made the girl's expression change from surprise to barely-contained outrage.

He stepped in quickly to save his unofficial nephew, smiling brightly. "Happens to the best of us, Lieutenant. Took me until the Empire tried to occupy my planet before I saw the error of my ways."

The girl stared at him, with a stubborn frown on her face - a look he was starting to think he'd seen before.

He offered her his hand, and decided he could trust her. Gambler's instinct. "General Baron Lando Calrissian, head of Alliance Ordnance and Supply.... I guess I'm your new sugar-daddy, Miss... ahh?"

"Veila." The girl shook his hand, but she didn't look happy.

"Veila," he echoed, trying to place her. That was what Anakin had said - Lieutenant Veila. Was it her surname, or did she just have the one?

In response, she gave a quick side-glance at Anakin. He responded with a side-glance of his own, a grin, and an encouraging nod at Lando.

She gave a small shrug, still uncomfortable.

Lando looked back at her, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, glancing down at her bare feet.

Veila, Veila... It sounded familiar.... Then it came back to him. Tahiri!

"Tahiri Veila!" he exclaimed, and stepped forward to wrap her in a hug, careful to avoid her toes. He found himself grinning from ear to ear. "I shoulda known that Han Junior here would get you back eventually!"

Tahiri answered with a nervous grin, and although she hugged him back, she answered his enthusiasm a little awkwardly.

Lando pushed back a little from the hug—but he kept his hands on her waist, still grinning. He was using his very best smile, the one he reserved for friends and kids. He looked at her, recognizing the outline of her childhood features—and seeing how much she'd changed.

"He-eey," he drawled. "You're all grown up. You were knee-high to a nerf last time I saw you, Tahiri."

Out of the corner of his eye, Lando caught a tense movement from Anakin. The kid looked like he thought his personal space was being invaded, and took a step closer in response.

Abruptly, Tahiri pulled back out of Lando's arms, and took two steps away, looking a little bit lost.

"Hey, relax," Lando smiled. "You don't remember me, do you?"

"It's okay," Anakin said, moving in close to her. The kid was trying to sound reassuring, but Lando wasn't quite sure if it was working.

Tahiri smiled at both of them in reply—but she still looked slightly nervous, slightly lost.

Anakin looked at Lando. "I think the Imps did something to her memory," he explained.

The older man nodded back, hiding a wince. He was pretty sure it was hurting Anakin a lot more than he would admit. It came through in subtle hints in his voice and expression.

"We're working on it," Anakin went on. Then he paused, and his frown became confused, more like Han than Leia. "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"There's been a change of plans," Lando said, sighing. "Your contact on Nar Shadaa has been compromised. We're not sure if it's connected with what happened on Tatooine, but... we saw Alema get snatched, and if she broke, they may have wound up the entire network there."

Anakin responded to the bad news with a grim look. "So you just want us to head back to base?"

Tahiri's expression flickered from polite interest to sudden alarm. Anakin responded with a reassuring look, and a protective squeeze-hug.

"It'll be okay. We don't bite. Hey, Lando's the second-most-powerful guy in the Alliance... after, uhh, Dad? It's gonna be okay."

Lando looked her in the eyes, and grinned. "Besides, there are some old friends of yours back at headquarters who'd like to see you again, Tahiri." Then he smirked at Anakin. "You owe me for that save in Mos Eisley, by the way."

"Okay, okay," Anakin said, one hand in his pocket, the other arm round Tahiri, a big grin on his face.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lando saw that Tahiri had noticed his comment, slotting another piece of the puzzle into place.

Anakin seemed oblivious, though. "Any message you want for Dad?"

Lando shrugged. "Just tell him I say hi. I should be back in the next few days. Heading out to..." He paused carefully, but Tahiri's attention seemed more polite than focused, not as if she was listening in. "Well, Han knows where I'm going."

"Yeah," Anakin nodded—and just then, Lando's commlink began to play.

It was the Comms Lieutenant from the Rake. "General. The outer pickets have detected what may be an Imperial scout ship entering the system."

"I'm on my way."

Anakin offered him a Solo grin. "Okay, Uncle Lando. Good hunting."

Tahiri, he observed, hadn't really reacted to the scout ship comment. She seemed relaxed now, in tune with Anakin, just as she had been when they were kids.

"Same to you, kiddo," Lando answered to Anakin, before turning slightly on his heel, and bowing at Tahiri. "Tahiri. I'll bring you back a present from home."

That earned him an amused, if slightly doubtful, grin, and he found himself grinning back.

"You've not lost your smile," he told her. "You two keep safe." Then he looked at Anakin for a moment. "Take care of her, Anakin." He glanced around him at the familiar architecture of the Falcon, feeling a twinge of nostalgia for the days when he'd been the old freighter's captain - before he was a Baron, or a General, or a politician. "And of her."

Anakin saluted, Rebel-style, "Will do, Uncle Lando."

The General bowed again, with a smile for Tahiri and a wink for Anakin.

Then he turned and returned to his ship. His ever-present bodyguards had been waiting inside the airlock, out of sight of Anakin and Tahiri, but now they turned round with him, and followed obediently at his heels.

As the airlock rolled shut, Tahiri felt Anakin put his arm around her again. It wasn't exactly unpleasant, or unwanted—but it reminded her that they were alone again.

They would have to deal with what had happened eventually, she supposed.

It had all happened so quickly... Looking back, she wasn't sure what had come over her. Anakin had saved her and he was kinda cute, but she could have expressed her gratitude in a more appropriate manner.

Not that it wasn't fun...

Tahiri sighed, tensing a little. Then she turned. "So, where are we going now? Or can you even tell me that?"

Anakin answered with a grin, half-amused, half-wry - not unlike her own, right now. But his eyes told her that he hadn't expected that question. "It's a surprise, okay." His grin grew brighter. "But I think you'll like it."

"Uhm... Okay..." Tahiri was still stiff in his embrace. "I think we should go over to the cockpit, then? Or do you want me to stay in the back?"

Whatever else happened, she didn't want to make trouble. She felt awkward with the idea of joining the Rebels, but Anakin was the nearest thing to a friend she had now...

In answer he just wrapped his arm tighter around her, and led her away from the cockpit and the main hold, towards the rear of the ship.

"Come on," he said, "let's go and check over the engines before we jump outa here. I hope Uncle Lando's not damaged them with that stunt of his..."

"Uh... Okay..." She followed him, falling in step.

This is gonna get interesting, she sighed.

Do you want a prize?
depends on what it is....

Careful, Doctor Jones... ;
mischief

Interesting. Jacen's insistence on being obeyed is probably very like Vader's, but the difference may not be in him at all! ;Perhaps it just shows how Jaina and Tahiri are different from the average Imperial officer...? thinking
Or maybe they've just not been completely trained to obey yet? shock

That could be where the difference is originating thinking As for that training-isn't that what Jacen has been doing inside of Tahiri's mind?

The Obi-Wan parallel wasn't intended, but I can totally see what you mean here. shock
</mutters>you don't have to be sooo surprised....

As far as I know, Han's reaction to defend Chewie was much more instinctive, but I think both of them have the same dislike of cages, yes.
Perhaps, like Jacen, that's just because they're in denial, though? shock

Reasonably, but I do like the thought that they're in denial....

thinking You are giving me a lot to think about here - thanks! grin
my pleasure....

*nods* plain

Yeah, we're trying to rescue her here. Wanna join in? batting

Oh, wait. You already did... Sort of... ;

mischief I'm just pointing out things in yer great fic....

That's a valid comparison. wink whistling
happy

Urk! shock That Vader/Padme parallel was totally unintended. worried
But does Jaina want a shower because of Jacen, or Kyp, or both? ;

But it WORKS! And I think I'd want to know that as well....

Interesting parallel. Jacen might like it!
*snorts* glad to see my classical/liberal arts education is actually coming into use....

Thank you - and you'll see A/T in the next update.
*glances up* wonderful!

Now, onto this week's post!

Things have been a bit hectic at this end, but here's this week's update.
hope that it wasn't anything too serious mischief

ah, it's soo good to see Lando is on the side of the angels this time around. But that's to be understood since he'd join in with Han. I especially like his realization on just who Lt. Veila is in this post.

Anakin though shows just how much his father's son in this post. He leads in his a grin and his mouth, and doesn't let up. Great characterization, IMO.

Finally Tahiri. She's starting to shift from her standard Imperial self, and we're getting more of the girl from the JJK showing through. But I'm still wondering how things will shift again when she's presented with Jacen once again. And that bit at the end, was there more to their last chapter that I missed or was she just talking about the kisses?

and I also have to wonder if Alema is going to replace Tahiri in Jacen's menagerie thinking


A great post, and I can't wait for the next one.

Wow so Anakin got Tahiri back safely into Rebel territory? He is a Han junior laugh , hmmm so Lando is his uncle raised_brow ? I see, hmmm I wonder if Tahiri will ever realize she's a spy or Jacen will tell her in a Force vision/dream, just a guess. And for that thing on Jaina...um well the prospect of having her own squadron is more then tempting, I mean she no longer has to follow under Kyp's directions yet she feels something for the scoundrel, but she also has her father's recklessness and hot temper within her as well. So I guess the squadron then grin , great work can't wait for the next one.
