	Title: Fangirl Footnotes Author: Jedi Trace Timeframe: Various, mostly Beyond Characters: Various Genre: Star Wars Summary: Written for the Ultimate Drabble Challenge #4 A/N: I haven't written much lately - been a little burned out - so this is my attempt to drag the muse kicking and screaming from her comfy little hole. Please pardon the rust. (Unbeta'd, so all boo-boos are mine, and I'm sure there will be plenty.) Week 1: Mara, OC, Luke Week 2: Skywalkers Week 3: Ganner Krieg Week 4: Various Week 5: Zayne, Jarael Week 6: Mynock crew Week 7: Mara Jade Week 8: Luke, Tionne, Ben Week 9: Morrigan Corde Week 10: Talon, Shada Week 11: Artoo, various Week 12: Celeste, Zayne, Cade Week 13: Luke, Mara, Ben Week 14: Starkiller/Juno Week 15: Various AUs Week 16: Skywalker family Week 17: Jariah, Deliah Week 18: Deliah Blue Week 19: Cade, Mara Week 20: Various PM list: Ceillean Jade_eyes NYCitygurl kataja Jade_Pilot VaderLVR64 hyperspace_police Week 1: Green (Mara, OC, Luke) Flash in the pan "Oooh...fancy." "Quiet," Mara Jade snapped, working the tip of her lightsaber around the delicate edge of a ticking incendiary device. "Time is a factor, Jade." "I said, quiet!" A bead of sweat dripped from Mara's forehead, splash-hissing on her blade. One more slice exposed the tangled wire innards and she cut the fuse, sitting back on her heels with a sigh of relief. "Shall I applaud?" a voice asked dryly. "I suppose Master Skywalker taught you that in your private sessions." "Look, Greer," Mara stood abruptly, facing the younger woman. "If you have a problem with me, just say it!" Out on a limb "Yeah, I have a problem." Greer planted her fists firmly on her slim hips. "I've been studying here with Master Skywalker for years. Years! And I just now passed my trials. You show up and get Knighted in what? A month?" "It's a little more involved than that," Mara answered, forcing calm into her voice. "Involved," Greer snorted, cutting her off. "What'd you do - sleep your way into the Order?" "What?" "You heard me. Everyone knows you got your Knighthood in the Master's bed." "Everyo-" Mara sputtered. "We're engaged!" Greer stomped away, almost hiding the jealousy in her eyes. Out of the blue Mara slammed the door to Luke's office. "I can't work with Greer." "We've talked about this Mara," Luke answered, thumbing through files in his desk drawer. "I know she can be difficult, but she trained with CorSec and she's the best person for this job." "She has a crush on you." Luke's hands froze over the files. "Say again?" "She has. A crush. On you." Wordlessly, Luke sat back in his chair. "Oh, don't look at me like that. Did you honestly think that you - the most eligible bachelor in the sector - would not have female admirers among your students?" Wet behind the ears Footsteps pounded in pursuit across the rooftop and Greer skidded to a halt at the edge, the folds of her cloak billowing in the violent winds. The stairway was in shambles and there was no way off the roof - just a sheer drop fifty stories down. "We're trapped!" she screamed into the night. "Hold on!" A strong arm grabbed her and she was falling, the duracrete side of the building flashing past. They landed with a thump as Mara retracted her grappling hook. "And no," she said, pulling Greer to her feet. "Master Skywalker did not teach me that." Heat of the moment "Here." Mara turned from the greasy fuselage, banging her hydrospanner in the process. Greer was standing in front of her, holding out a holocube. "What's that?" "A wedding gift," Greer answered. "It's holos. Of Master Skywalker." Blushing, she studied the clasp on her sleeve intently. "I've been collecting them over the years and...I think you should have them." Wiping her hands on her pants, Mara took the cube awkwardly and cleared her throat. "I, um...don't know what to say." Greer speared her with an exasperated stare. "Just say thank you and take the damn thing before I change my mind." -----signature----- "Luke Skywalker kicks ass.

	Nifty stuff, Trace. Honestly, as many fans as have brought up the "Mara slept her way to Knighthood" angle, it'd be surprising if Mara didn't face it in-universe. And I'm sure there were more than a few women who had a crush on Luke, too. Combine the two, and you'd get quite an uncomfortable situation for Mara. Not that she'd let it stop her from doing whatever she wanted to. I like how you have Luke all startled and speechless by it, too. Very in character for him. Sometimes he's a little oblivious. -----signature----- Evil Twin of LadyPadme This concept of "wuv" confuses and infuriates us! - Futurama All I can do is be me.

	Gabri: I felt a little guilty using that old standard anti-Jedi Mara sentiment, but it was kinda fun, too. And, like you said, not that it would deter Mara in the least. Glad you liked Luke. He's such a guy sometimes. Thanks for reading! It was a slow night at work, so I got to catch up. Week 2: Skywalker Plus One (Luke/Mara, Ben/?, Nat/Droo, Kol/Morrigan, Cade/...Azlyn - yeah, you read that right) Impossible Kol Skywalker stared at his wife in disbelief, a snake of cold horror winding through his gut. "What are you saying?" "I'm saying," she answered hoarsely, "that it's time for me to leave. This isn't working and we both know it. I've been called back to the Empire...and there's no place for me in your Jedi life." "No place?" Kol took her arm, pulling her away from the viewport. "We made promises to each other. We have a son. We can make it work, Morrigan." She shook her head slowly. "I wish I could believe that." Unlikely (Spoilers for Legacy issue #34) They'd been teenagers when he'd called her his girl. Perched high in their tree, he'd given her the purple flower that she'd wrapped around her finger, the symbol of a promise they'd sworn they weren't too young to make. He stared at her now. She wasn't a beauty like the woman waiting for him back on the ship, but she was warm and familiar and she was supposed to be his. She wasn't supposed to be dying in bacta, ready to join the Force. Kark it, she was supposed to be his! Cade Skywalker slammed his fist through the wall. Reasonable It was only logical, Ben Skywalker reasoned. They'd been friends for years and it was just a dance. A charity event to benefit orphans of the war. It wasn't like it was a date or anything. He picked up the comm, was promptly overcome by thirst, and put it back down to gulp an entire container of water. All right, he shook himself and picked up the comm again. She's just a friend...who happened to be pretty...and she already told him she wanted to go. So just ask her, right? If only the comm would stop shaking in his hand. Probable "You don't have to look so smug, Skywalker," Mara said from the corner, sipping a vial of bubbling water. Luke stood before the full length mirror with his shoulders squared and rocked on his toes as the taylor made final adjustments to his wedding suit. "It's not like you knew I would say 'yes'." "Oh, I knew," Luke grinned. "Did not. I absolutely saw you sweating." "That was mist from the lake." "I think the suit has made you senile." "But you have to admit - it looks good." She embraced him from behind. "Like you were born for it." Definite "So here's how it is, Droo." She gazed up at the burly man with unkept white hair sticking out of his cap. "I love ya and I want to spend my life with you. I wanna raise your daughter as mine and us to be a family. But you need to know: I got baggage." "We all got baggage, Den." "Name's not Den. It's Nat. Nat Skywalker. And I'm a wanted man." His hands trembled around hers and his eyes were wary - afraid that she would walk away but imploring her to stay. And she loved him even more. -----signature----- "Luke Skywalker kicks ass. Next question." - Tom Taylor "Sometimes bad guys are the only good guys you get." - Leverage

	Trace posted: "She has a crush on you." Luke's hands froze over the files. "Say again?" "She has. A crush. On you." Wordlessly, Luke sat back in his chair. This was Luke. Perfectly. I can just see him sitting there, wide-eyed and scratching his head. Also reminds me of me and hubby's best friend. I told him to go buy this girl (a co-worker and a friend of mine) a drink. He was like "Wha?" I'm like "She likes you go talk to her." He did. They're married now. I can't believe you wrote Cade/Azlyn. And I liked it. [face_thoughtful] Is that wrong of me? Nice work, Trace. And the muse doesn't look even a bit rusty. CJM -----signature----- Team Jag I may not always love the canon, but it amuses me so I read. Sara -- Told you so!

He is a cute guy. --- I must pick up the Legacy Comics again! My favorite of the second week drabbles, honestly. Very mysterious. Yep -- need to read more comics.

	These were all brilliant. I love the way you write Luke & Mara together, and the Legacy stuff, of course, but I think my favorite was Reasonable. Ben is adorable. I just want to give him a huge hug. -----signature----- "I don't like it that you can win an argument without using verbs." - Luke Skywalker to Ben, "Outcast"

	Your L&M is spot on as usual and your dialogue... oh how I adore the wit of it!!! Greer is so the kind of fangirl student I can see at the Academy. But Mara won her respect at the end.

	These are fantastic Trace! I loved your Luke/Mara it was perfect. And Cade's POV on the whole Azlyn thing.

	OOOOHHH!!! these were great!!! The finer subtleties of the Legacy era characters were lost on me but the first five were adorable (I loved Greer's gutts to say what many certainly thought - and Mara's reactions! - this could easily be built to something more than drabbles, you know wink, wink) while Probable was my absolute favourite!!! Loved to see Luke so cocky - and Mara allowing him for once -----signature----- "even a duck has to be taught to swim." "What's a duck?" "Never mind."

	CJM: Also reminds me of me and hubby's best friend. I told him to go buy this girl (a co-worker and a friend of mine) a drink. He was like "Wha?" I'm like "She likes you go talk to her." He did. They're married now. LOL!! Same thing happened with my friend Nicki (TNPredsFan). My husband had to call her now-boyfriend and convince him to ask her out. Boys. shakes head I can't believe you wrote Cade/Azlyn. And I liked it. [face_thoughtful] Is that wrong of me? ... I know, right? This is what happens when I drag the muse out of bed - she gets an attitude. (I really hate her sometimes.) You'll notice it wasn't romantic, though. Couldn't go there. Just couldn't. Thanks! Darthrevan4ever: Thank you! diane: LOL on Mara sleeping her way into Knighthood. I bet some would think that, too. Loved the OC. Well done! Ah yes, it's been a favorite claim of Mara-haters forever. Thank you so much! Ceillean: I must pick up the Legacy Comics again! Yes, you must! waves hand Jedi mind trick style Would you PM me when you update, please? I'd be happy to. Thank you! karebear: Ben is adorable. I just want to give him a huge hug. I know! I just love him. I'm going to have to break down and read the new FotJ series - or at least skim it to read his parts. Thank you, gal! diva: I like your character of Greer. Thank you! She just kinda...showed up while I was getting ready for work yesterday. Maybe she'll bring friends for the next 19 weeks, LOL. Jade_eyes: Greer is so the kind of fangirl student I can see at the Academy. LOL! I would totally be a Luke fangirl , but I doubt I could muster Greer's sarcasm in front of Mara. Could I have PMs? Sure thing! Thank you! Jade_Pilot: I am so glad you're drabbling!!! Great beginning-can't wait for more! Thank you so much, lady! You're too sweet. PIPER: These are fantastic Trace! I loved your Luke/Mara it was perfect. Awww....thanks! And Cade's POV on the whole Azlyn thing. I know it was as hard for him as it was for you to write. The things I do for that man. humph Bless it, he really did look pitiful, though. And as much as I berated Azlyn for poaching, she really doesn't deserve what's happening to her. sigh Nat: I especially love the first set Thanks! It was a lot of fun. Do you have a PM list? I can! I'll add you. padawan lunetta: Love Lukie finding out that one of his students had a crush on him. Very cute! Thank you! Glad you liked. kataja: (I loved Greer's gutts to say what many certainly thought - and Mara's reactions! - this could easily be built to something more than drabbles, you know wink, wink) I like her! She may make more appearances. Loved to see Luke so cocky - and Mara allowing him for once I figure she has to indulge him every now and then. Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed them. Week 3: Final Straw (Ganner Krieg - spoilers for the VECTOR issues of Legacy) Truth Reaching behind the chestplate of his crimson armor, Ganner Krieg pulled out the holo he’d kept there for three? – four years? It was Azlyn, smiling in the sunlight. Three? Four days? Was that how long it had been since he’d seen her? He’d heard the clash of lightsabers first, then shouts. Azlyn and Skywalker. He ran to her, but they weren’t fighting when he arrived. She was in his arms, locked in a lover’s embrace. The embrace she’d withheld from Ganner, though he’d have given his life for her. She might as well have plunged her saber into his heart. Trust They’d found her in an spacer cantina – a waif-thin waitress with skittish eyes, always looking around, behind. When an ominous, robed figure entered the bar, she dropped her tray. A Sith Inquisitor. They’d been prominent a century before and the Usurper had revived them to hunt and kill remaining Jedi after the massacre at Ossus. Dressed in full Imperial Knight armor, he and Draco were not ignored, but they were untouched. The Inquisitor noticed the girl at the same time that she grabbed his arm in desperation. “Take me with you. Please!” He felt the Force in her. And terror. Honor From that day on, she had never wavered in her devotion to the principles of the Imperial Knights. Ganner’s own former master completed her training and he watched and waited - waited until her training was complete and she was of age. His feelings grew, but he never touched her. He kept his devotion in check and treated her with the utmost respect. She was the brightest spot in his life and he loved her from afar. She never talked about her Jedi training. Never talked about anyone at all from Ossus. She’d certainly never mentioned that low-life addict, Skywalker. Loyalty She never questioned her assignment to find Skywalker and lead her fellow Knights to the Jedi’s secret temple. Skywalker accused her of betrayal, but it was no such thing. She’d completed her assignment. Nothing more. Nothing less. Looking back, it had been a mistake to allow her to return to the Jedi temple. Just seeing her old Master, something started to change in her. Something he was powerless to prevent. It was their fault, the Jedi. They hadn’t judged, but they’d asked questions. Raised doubts. She had never doubted before. She was too good for that. Too good for them. Love And now they had taken her. That blue-skinned Jedi and Skywalker. They had taken her from him and he was powerless once again. But it would not always be so. Ganner ran his finger over his lightsaber’s activation switch and let the anger build, no longer keeping his heart in check. He’d find her and get her back. And if Skywalker had caused her any pain with just one of his filthy hands… Draco appeared, no doubt sensing his anger. “Ganner, what -” “If he’s harmed her.” Ganner thumbed the silver blade of his saber to life. “I’ll kill him.” -----signature----- "Luke Skywalker kicks ass.
