For Evie
Teetering

Standing on the railing of the skybridge, teetering on the edge of oblivion, she remembered it all; the event, the consequences, and, most of all, the disappointment.

Tahiri Veila had thought that it would be all right; that after his death she would be able to live again. That she would be able to love again.

Yet, after so many years of pain, after missing him for half of her life, waiting for him to walk through the door one more time, she had given up. She had decided that it was enough.

Enough of being a Jedi.

Enough of being used by the Jedi.

Enough of being a Sith.

Enough of being used by the Sith.

Enough of being used by the Solo's.

Just enough.

None of them had anything to offer her anymore.

There was nothing left.

She was empty. Bereft.

Fate. Destiny. The Force. Whatever one wanted to call it, her entire existence so far had been meaningless. Everything and everyone that she had ever loved had ultimately been ripped from her.

So, that was why she was here, standing out over the edge of the abyss in the middle of the night. No pedestrians, no passing motorists. Just her, the bridge and the wide open chasm beneath her toes.

She edged closer to the abyss, and leaned forward slightly, watching the clouds as they passed through the emptiness beneath her.

The pit called to her. It beckoned, promising release.

Release from the pain. The suffering.

She wanted nothing more to throw herself forward, and accept the pit's offering.

Gathering the Force to her, she prepared to leap.

And that's when it happened. That's when the world shifted again.

It was soft, gentle, an almost whisper on the breeze. Yet she heard it clearly.

"Tahiri..."

Her name.

His voice.

She swallowed and lifted her head towards the sky. Looking upwards even though no stars were visible. Her eyes drifted close as a lone tear traced its way down her cheek. "You had better not be some trick or joke or something. You had better be Anakin."

She heard him coming closer; heavy boots shifting the occasional bits of gravel which accumulated on the skybridges.

"It's not a joke, 'Ri. I'm here."

She knelt onto the railing as another tear raced down her face. "You were supposed to come back. You promised me you would."

"I know. I'm here now."

"Why did you take so long."

He chuckled. It sounded like he was right behind her.

Warm moist arm floated across her arm. With a start she realized that it was his breath.

"I missed you, and I'm here, isn't that enough?"

Tahiri clenched her teeth and lowered her head; pressing her chin tight against her chest. She didn't want to break down and cry. Not here. Not now. Not in front of him.

"If I turn around will you still be there?"

He chuckled again, and grabbed her arm, pulling her down. She let out a short yelp in surprise and then safety and warmth flooded back into her existence.

For the first time in years, she felt whole and alive.

He held her in his arms, not letting her feet touch the ground, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in the between her arm and his cheek.

She allowed herself to be held and comforted as he whispered something into her hair. She didn't care what he was saying, just the fact that he was there to say it at all was enough.

Great work, Kidan. You set up her suicidal thoughts so well, I actually thought you might follow through with it.

I also got the scary thought that she jumped and that Anakin's appearance was in the Force.

Makes one think for sure...

This is how I imagine Tahiri must have felt. sad But you gave her a happy ending. It doesn't even matter if she jumped or not, IMO. As long as she's happy... tongue wink

Wow, this was great!! grin You did a great job with Tahiri in this vig, very powerful. applause

My favourite parts:

Fate. Destiny. The Force. Whatever one wanted to call it, her entire existence so far had been meaningless. Everything and everyone that she had ever loved had ultimately been ripped from her.

That is so true!! But wonderfully worded there, too. grin

It was soft, gentle, an almost whisper on the breeze. Yet she heard it clearly.

"Tahiri..."

Her name.

His voice.

*Ant melts*

She knelt onto the railing as another tear raced down her face. "You were supposed to come back. You promised me you would."

cry That's right, he really did. sad

Tahiri clenched her teeth and lowered her head; pressing her chin tight against her chest. She didn't want to break down and cry. Not here. Not now. Not in front of him.

"If I turn around will you still be there?"


Aww... sad love Tahiri's voice is so perfect here -- her pain and desperation are just what I would expect at this point in time.

She allowed herself to be held and comforted as he whispered something into her hair. She didn't care what he was saying, just the fact that he was there to say it at all was enough.


w00t! dancing I heartily agree!! love What a lovely, lovely ending. grin

Very nicely done, Kidan. applause I really enjoyed this one.

I like the way that you build up her state-of-mind through three different, contrasting perspectives here: you begin with what she's doing physically - a fairly unified view - and then shift to her hopes, developing a sense of her instinctive expectations, her sense of who she is... but then you offer a completely contrasting definition, a different part of her - a different Tahiri, even ("waiting for him to walk through the door one more time").

It's doing several things at once: very expressive of her disassembled mental state, and poignantly illustrative of the unhappy situation she's in, and also embracing her wider backstory, tying in with the sense of her fractured identity.

The elegance of the structure also works into it, giving it an elegaic quality, a control and restraint...

Which, of course, may say something about Tahiri, too. She's doing this very quietly. hugs

Now this is a very neat piece of rhythm. The way you interrupt the pattern indicates the Anakin-void; had it continued, you'd have had her being a Solo... which, of course, is what she's not been able to become. plain

She was empty. Bereft.

Fate. Destiny. The Force. Whatever one wanted to call it, her entire existence so far had been meaningless. Everything and everyone that she had ever loved had ultimately been ripped from her.


Again, this is nicely fractured thinking from Tahiri. She starts with terms that normally define meaning, then moves to suggest that what she experienced was actually "meaningless", and then moves on to claim that the meaning had, in fact, been violently taken away.

Also, incidentally, she's avoiding Yuuzhan Vong perspectives. She's tired of pain, of accepting it?

Kidan posted:

More nice use of language here; it's very clear in its description, like night air; but "wide open chasm" is a nice inversion of upbeat like "wide open sky", both underlining how her world is upside down, and suggesting that the jump seems like the only hope for her, a sort of dark optimism, finality; and "beneath her toes" is just pure Tahiri. grin

She's used to talking to the Anakin-shaped emptiness?

But maybe it's lying to her...?

I love the idea of the clouds below her - it gives a dramatic emphasis to the visual image (just how far she has to fall?), and it extends the "upside-down sky" image.

I love this! it's the contrast between the back-and-forth dialogue and her down-and-backwards movement towards him.

Two observations: the hesitation in her POV of him (and perhaps her movements) - it sounded like he was right behind her; and the way she instinctively falls into conversation with him, without the slightest hesitation.

The pain of the way she looked up at the sky was also very effective; accepting the pain - in that single, star-like tear - is also a sign of release. She doesn't have to be controlled any more.

Also: Looking upwards even though no stars were visible. It leads neatly into the tear (a single star, a motif appropriate for Anakin), as I just indicated; but it also suggests a hint or memory of something else - of something, I suspect, only Anakin would understand, something she shared/experienced with him.

Kidan posted:

*laughs* Regret, and hurt, but even their broken edges match up. A part of her almost doesn't want to admit that this is real--she's become USED to the pain, to absence!Anakin. A part of her is probably still sure that she's dead.

Now, let's take a look at the hinge of the 'fic here: did she jump, or didn't she? I'd say not - we'd expect her to fall before phasing out of reality, unless she hit something sharp and spiky very fast tongue - but it DOES work fine either way: and with that in mind, we have this neat paradox.

If she did fall, then Anakin WAS waiting for her in the void, and it was telling the truth; if she DIDN'T, then it was a lie/madness, and he saved her from it.

Either way, whichever way she turns, he rescues her. grin

Kidan posted:
"If I turn around will you still be there?"

He chuckled again, and grabbed her arm, pulling her down. She let out a short yelp in surprise and then safety and warmth flooded back into her existence.

Ahh. A perfect ending. cool love A/T. *contented sigh/smile*

I particularly love the way that he's "not letting her feet touch the ground". Lifting her up, a perfect counterpoint to the "falling" imagery we saw before - and also a nice image of her feet, again. wink It also leads on perfectly into the way she responds with her arms, and the mor ceomplex - but no less flawless interaction of their bodies pressed together, and then moves from that physical perfection, into words and finally, to the purer realm of feelings.

In that last little paragraph, I'm reminded of the philosophical theory of emanations - levels of reality, with matter being the least, abstract forms - represented by language - somewhere in the middle, and pure being, "Oneness", as the most elevated and perfect. Or, in what I think is a more appropriate version of the metaphor, there are levels of the journey in Dante's Divina Commedia, ascending from the pit, up and outwards to love and the stars.

cool love

dancing I'm ecstatic that that first paragraph worked so well. But yeah, she's definitely a collection of different peices....

It's doing several things at once: very expressive of her disassembled mental state, and poignantly illustrative of the unhappy situation she's in, and also embracing her wider backstory, tying in with the sense of her fractured identity.
[face_blinks] I know I've stated this in the past, but things like this are why I love your replies. You explain what I've written just so great....

The elegance of the structure also works into it, giving it an elegaic quality, a control and restraint...
*nods* it does, doesn't it...

Which, of course, may say something about Tahiri, too. She's doing this very quietly. hugs

*blames LucasBooks/Del Rey* angry

I'm glad that you caught that. and I blame LucasBooks & DR as well....

Again, this is nicely fractured thinking from Tahiri. She starts with terms that normally define meaning, then moves to suggest that what she experienced was actually "meaningless", and then moves on to claim that the meaning had, in fact, been violently taken away.
Well, Tahiri is fractured here....she lacks the meaning that those terms give others.... (again, thanks DR!)

Also, incidentally, she's avoiding Yuuzhan Vong perspectives. She's tired of pain, of accepting it?
reasonable interpretation....

More nice use of language here; it's very clear in its description, like night air; but "wide open chasm" is a nice inversion of upbeat like "wide open sky", both underlining how her world is upside down, and suggesting that the jump seems like the only hope for her, a sort of dark optimism, finality; and "beneath her toes" is just pure Tahiri. grin
again, I'm ecstatic that that symbolism was picked up on as well. the whole inversion of the open sky

She's used to talking to the Anakin-shaped emptiness?
aye, she is....

But maybe it's lying to her...?
maybe...

A/T!! grin

aye... A/T!

I love this! it's the contrast between the back-and-forth dialogue and her down-and-backwards movement towards him.
and that's a good point thinking

Two observations: the hesitation in her POV of him (and perhaps her movements) - it sounded like he was right behind her; and the way she instinctively falls into conversation with him, without the slightest hesitation.
well, he is Anakin....

The pain of the way she looked up at the sky was also very effective; accepting the pain - in that single, star-like tear - is also a sign of release. She doesn't have to be controlled any more.
exactly! With him, she doesn't have to try so hard....

Also: Looking upwards even though no stars were visible. It leads neatly into the tear (a single star, a motif appropriate for Anakin), as I just indicated; but it also suggests a hint or memory of something else - of something, I suspect, only Anakin would understand, something she shared/experienced with him.
thinking and this whole bit skipped past me while I was writing...

*laughs* Regret, and hurt, but even their broken edges match up. A part of her almost doesn't want to admit that this is real--she's become USED to the pain, to absence!Anakin. A part of her is probably still sure that she's dead.
isn't that matching up perfectly what's always symbolized A/T? And aye, she probably think she's dead...

Now, let's take a look at the hinge of the 'fic here: did she jump, or didn't she? I'd say not - we'd expect her to fall before phasing out of reality, unless she hit something sharp and spiky very fast tongue - but it DOES work fine either way: and with that in mind, we have this neat paradox.
And that is the ultimate question left up to the reader to determine...

If she did fall, then Anakin WAS waiting for her in the void, and it was telling the truth; if she DIDN'T, then it was a lie/madness, and he saved her from it.

Either way, whichever way she turns, he rescues her. grin

exactly!! And again, that's just what Anakin does....

:^O Perfect. grin
thanks!

Or was this when she hit the ground, and the rest was all Force-vision AS she fell? thinking
and that's possible as well... again, it's up to the reader to determine if she jumped or not...

Ahh. A perfect ending. cool love A/T. *contented sigh/smile*
it's an A/T ending, so that kind of implies it being perfect... wink

I particularly love the way that he's "not letting her feet touch the ground". Lifting her up, a perfect counterpoint to the "falling" imagery we saw before - and also a nice image of her feet, again. wink It also leads on perfectly into the way she responds with her arms, and the mor ceomplex - but no less flawless interaction of their bodies pressed together, and then moves from that physical perfection, into words and finally, to the purer realm of feelings.
well, didn't he always lift her up? That was part of the point. He's always been a lifting presence for her, the same way that she was for him.

In that last little paragraph, I'm reminded of the philosophical theory of emanations - levels of reality, with matter being the least, abstract forms - represented by language - somewhere in the middle, and pure being, "Oneness", as the most elevated and perfect. Or, in what I think is a more appropriate version of the metaphor, there are levels of the journey in Dante's Divina Commedia, ascending from the pit, up and outwards to love and the stars.
[face_blink] and that's a great discussion on what's going on in that last paragraph as well.

Hah! I was feeling so very cynical...assuming that the reason Tahiri could 'hear' and 'feel' Anakin was because she had in fact jumped, and I was going to just crawl bak into my little hole and continue with the lurkiness, not wanting to spread my particular brand of 'joy', but then I saw that other people had said the same thing.

Not that I've got that out of my system...oh, yeah, that's why I didn't finish reading reading LotF, aside from the fact that they killed Mara (those bastards) they turned Tahiri into a crack-whore as you so eloquently put it. Incidently, I think I used the exact same term when discussing this with Qwi_Xux when it started.

So, thank you for bringing a little bit of a recognizable Tahiri back into the world.

How sad is that? That a suicidal Tahiri seems closer to character than what Pro-fic actually gave us?
