Another great chapter, you really know how to capture a moment ö
I'm just recently getting into reading A/T-fics but this one has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite
And I don't mind being added to your PM list at all
In fact I'm glad you did.
If that is the year that you were born I’m going to cry!

Dammit, Preggers, you just write them too well.
How am I supposed to concentrate on my research assignment when I'm thinking about this? lol. Anyway, great job.
Have a nice week.

Wow! That was hard to read!!! I think that goodbye was hardest of all the ones before, no I'm sure!
I'm not surprised Anakin almost asked Tahiri to stay behind, and I know it was the hardest thing for her to resist that particular temptation. Bless them for their selflessness.
But wanting to come back to Will is going to make them work that much harder to succeed.

This spot is reserved for this poor soul (aka me)for when she has a day off...or a night where I don't have to be up at 5:30a.
AKA tomorrow. So I shall return I promise!!!
EDIT:
Ha! Told you it would be the next day. Feeling slighting refreshed after my three hour nap and relishing the fact I have three days off in a row after a nine day work week.
So here I am! AS for the ceiling fan comments, us in Central Florida have had yet another two weeks of recording break heat and decided that we needed something else to cool our room down.
And of course we have nicer weather now. It felt great out today, and that put me in a great mood! Ok, enough rambling onto the post.
I absolutely cannot relate to the separation anxiety both Anakin and Tahiri are feeling about going on a very dangerous mission. I am not a parent so you actually made me feel like I was Anakin, trying to keep his sanity in check after watching Tahiri not wanting to let her son go.
It was truly heartbreaking to watch this scene unfold. I could just imagine Tahiri just holding Will, relishing the fact she has him in her arms.
And Will is so cute again, even though he can feel the sadness and anguish his parents are going through. And the way you had his sucking his thumb, holding Tahiri's hair and cuddling into her neck was just too cute. I could definitely picture it in my mind clearly.
And to have Jacen, Jacen of all people interrupt the little family goodbyes was priceless.
Tahiri behaved. WOO HOO!!! so did Jacen! oh and Anakin. Everyone is growing up! YAY!!!!
Anakin suspected that it might have been brought about by the talk Han had had with Jacen after ‘the big breakfast’. Or, maybe it had something to do with the talk Leia had had with Jacen after ‘the big breakfast’. Or the talks Luke and Mara had with him.
Or, maybe, it had something to do with another incident that Jag had filled Anakin in on. It involved lightsabers and one very pissed off petite brunette who had to be hauled away from her twin before cybernetic limb replacement was required.
Oh so that is why Jacen is so behaved. He not only had "talks" with about everyone imaginable but he dueled with Jaina.
Yep I would be on my best behavior if I had a sister like that one. Especially when she was mad at you!
I also liked the fact you included the backstory of the squad and how Anakin and Tahiri came up with the people who were in it. I loved Paloma and how much Anakin likes her and trust her.
Then Valin and Tahiri. I adore the respect and love they have for each other. Perfect.
As for the end, I had tears in my eyes (No i didn't cry just teared up.) Again I cannot even relate but I could feel the pain both of them were going through.
Sooo...cannot wait for the next few posts. They shall be interesting!!!

I loved the Leia POV in Harmony... her reflection of the the general asshattery that was going on mid-NJO and onward was bang on!
And as for crouching at the finish line... man, you made me cry!
Mr CJM and I recently returned from a week out in Cali... we didn't take Darth Kindergartener with us.
We were there 2 hours before we looked at each other and said "we're never leaving her again".
Pathetic, I know.
And you know what we did when we got home, picked her up from bed and sandwiched her inbetween us in our bed.
Best thing ever!
Every chapter you write just gets better. The depth is incredible. Keep it up Preggers!
CJM
PS... Flow ho is freaking priceless.

Marathon read, and I'm totally in love - especially with Jaina. She's acting just the way I've been hoping she would - finally loosening up a bit. I really would have paid money to see her dancing with Jag, or really just to see Jag dance. ZOMGawsh, just vape Jacen already. Perhaps he needs some sort of other storyline to happen to him so that he can have those earth shattering realizations that he's supposed to have so that he'll finally understand what a PITA he is. (Pain in the ...)
Fantastic as ALWAYZ!! Can't wait to read more!

Okay I don’t have a lot of time this week so I thought I'd just pick out a couple of favorite moments in this post…
Face was a god in Bram’s book; Face was what Bram wanted to be when he grew up.
I loved this line!
“Uh…” Tahiri defended, “I’m not taking Valin with me, so I’m not going to need to be kept out of trouble.”
“Yeah, like it’s my fault you’re a crash artist.” Valin teased. Then he put his arms around Tahiri and Will, leaned his cheek against hers and said, “Stay safe, I don’t want to have to break in new wing mate. As big a pain in the ass as you are, I’ve finally got you trained up the way I like.”
Tahiri smiled and said, “Starfood.”
Tahiri's tone here is so much fun...I don't know if I'll ever be able to read or write about Valin again without "starfood" going through my head...and its all your fault LOL!!!
For a crazy second he thought about telling her to stay, telling her not to go with him, to screw the plans. They didn’t need a translator, they didn’t need the Jeedai-who-was-shaped to galvanize the Shamed Ones; she should stay there and protect their son like she did when he’d gone to Myrkr, and in one of those rare crystal clear moments like that day they’d been arrested on Eriadu, she seemed to know exactly what was going through his mind and she said, “No.” Then she kissed Will’s head and pulled him away from her and said, “I love you.” And then pushed him into Winter’s arms and ran to the transport.
Anakin sucked in a breath, startled at both the lightening fast speed at which all those thoughts had raced through his mind and at the fact that Tahiri had caught all of them, and at the emotion pouring off of her and Will, who was now crying too.
He leaned over and took Will’s face in his hands, and kissed his forehead, then pulled back, and looked into his bright green eyes, Tahiri’s eyes, and said, “Daddy loves you too. I’ll bring mama home soon, I promise.”
Then he turned and ran after Tahiri.
Okay the good bye at the end was so heartbreaking...and I think so true to who Anakin and Tahiri are as individuals. Anakin once more considering leaving her behind...when is that boy going to learn? And Tahiri freaking out when she realizes what he is thinking that and rushing on board the ship before he can stop her...it would almost be comical if weren't so bloody terrible. I can't imagine leaving my baby boy behind and wondering if I would ever see him again. Anyway...looking forward to what you have coming up over the next few posts.

Dearest Readers,
Before I begin the replies, I’d like to say that I’m stunned and amazed that my little comment about backing up my SW books and saying goodbye to the fandom caused the stir that it has. I seriously, and I’m not saying this in false modesty, didn’t think anyone would give a rats ass if I skiddadled after Fragile was done. So, you can imagine my surprised when a couple of you actually commented and said you’d be sad to see me go.
For those of you not aware of what’s been happening over on the Fear and Love board; the same week I made that comment about leaving, and old F&L reader, having no idea I’d announced my impending departure, notified me that she’d just done a complete read through of F&L and gave me high praise and asked if I was even considering finishing it.
That got me thinking, so I did my own read through of that story and found that I was very proud of what I had accomplished over there and was once again sad that I had not finished it and thought maybe, just maybe, if any other fans were interested, maybe I would consider it after Fragile was finished. I posted a note on the board and asked readers to weigh in with comments, see if anyone would care about seeing what I had planned for our heroes, and was shocked to see that there was indeed some interest.
So, here is how it stands, I’m still not entirely sure there are enough readers interested, so if you’re reading this and you haven’t cast a vote on the F&L board, but you are interested in reading, go throw in your two cents. I’ll be making my final decision based on feed back.
I believe I have a committed Beta, though I’m not totally holding her to that yet due to the fact that we have a ton of work ahead of us and she actually has a life. She and I need to do a complete page one reedit of the story, fix grammar and continuity issues, and then I have to re-outline the second half of the story and start writing, which will be a tremendous amount of work.
Also, this will be a lot of work for all of you. I started posting F&L in Nov or 2005, there are somewhere in the neighborhood or 35 updates spread out over 40 board pages interspersed amongst close to 1000 posts. If any of the new updates are going to make sense to you, and have any real significance, you may need to actually go back and re-read from the beginning, not an easy thing to do, I know. I sat down a few days ago and reread the whole story in two nights, but it was a quick read for me because I know all the little details and the foreshadowing and little tidbits I laid in. It will likely take you guys longer than that.
So, having said all that, if any of you have comments, either that you’re interested or not, please pop over to the
Fear and Love Board
and leave me a message, either that you’re up for the challenge or that you’re not, and I’ll continue to weigh the pros and cons of taking on the task, and as I see what everyone has to say I’ll keep you all up to date on how Beta Girl and I are doing in getting things pulled together. If it just doesn’t feel like there are enough people interested to ignited the mojo required to get this off the ground again, then I’ll let you know that too. But all of your input is appreciated and I want all of you to know that your input and the enthusiasm from those of you who do want to see what happens next in the story has done more to boost my self esteem then I can ever express.
But for now, Back to Fragile, which will have to be finished before I will start on Fear and Love, and this weeks replies:
Melissa1991
I was referring to 1991 being the year that you were born, and if it was that was making me feel very old and making me want to cry… sort of a joke.
But on to your comments:
Another great chapter, you really know how to capture a moment ö
Thank you, I do try.
I'm just recently getting into reading A/T-fics but this one has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite
I’m glad you like it. I’ve been working hard to capture what I think Anakin may have been like had he not been taken from us at such an early age. And Tahiri… well, lets just say that I wish this is how she would have turned out had she not had to meld with Riina.
And I don't mind being added to your PM list at all. In fact I'm glad you did.
I’m glad to hear that.
TahiriSoloFan
GO Lions!!! I hope they did well!
So sad and touching!
Thank you. I only have to be away from my kids for a couple of days a week and that is brutal, I can only imagine what it would be like for our heroes.
I loved hearing about all the talks Jacen was "treated" to....especially the one from Jaina!
Poor Jacen. Maybe he’ll finally wise up.
lost_lauries_grapes
Dammit, Preggers, you just write them too well.
That is what I strive for, and is it wrong that I’m thrilled that my little story is distracting you?
How am I supposed to concentrate on my research assignment when I'm thinking about this? lol.
Is it also wrong to say that I am thrilled that I may be distracting you more in the future?
Anyway, great job.
Thank you again. I think I’ll be saying that a lot in the future.
Have a nice week.
You have personally made it exponentially better.
frankieskywalker
i'm at war with myself i want to see how this ends so bad but i aslo dont want it to end
Wehhhlllll…. Since the end is about 5 or 6 weeks away, you will have to square yourself with that impending doom… but, if you like my writing, you could, possibly, have another treat in store on another thread, if it is my writing that you would like to see more of.
great update as always
*courtsies*
*and yes i dant spell*
I know, I just like to tease!
Jade_eyes
Wow! That was hard to read!!!
Music to my ears!
I think that goodbye was hardest of all the ones before, no I'm sure!
Even harder than Anakin saying goodbye to Tahiri at Eclipse? Or Older Tahiri saying goodbye to Younger Tahiri and Anakin? Wow!
I'm not surprised Anakin almost asked Tahiri to stay behind, and I know it was the hardest thing for her to resist that particular temptation. Bless them for their selflessness.
In that sense, they are like Luke and Mara, sending Ben to the Maw, and as Tahiri said, it’s not that they aren’t doing the same things that the rest of the family are doing, they are just doing it differently, and that is why the family has a hard time understanding them.
But wanting to come back to Will is going to make them work that much harder to succeed.
Naturally.

*cracks knuckles*
Just like every week…
This spot is reserved for this poor soul (aka me)for when she has a day off...or a night where I don't have to be up at 5:30a.
AKA tomorrow. So I shall return I promise!!!
I won’t hold you to that.
EDIT: Ha! Told you it would be the next day.
HO! You slipped that in and I didn’t see it until just now! You sneaky little thing! And here I wasn’t holding my breath!
Feeling slighting refreshed after my three hour nap and relishing the fact I have three days off in a row after a nine day work week.
Well I’m honored that you would use your much deserved time off to review for me.
So here I am! AS for the ceiling fan comments, us in Central Florida have had yet another two weeks of recording break heat and decided that we needed something else to cool our room down.
Good thing there was no sex in this update then, huh!
And of course we have nicer weather now. It felt great out today, and that put me in a great mood! Ok, enough rambling onto the post.
Always the case, it’s like God waits for you to buy the fan and then sends the cooler air. He has such a sense of humor. Of course I realized that about four years into my marriage. A sick sense of humor, but a sense of humor nonetheless.
I absolutely cannot relate to the separation anxiety both Anakin and Tahiri are feeling about going on a very dangerous mission. I am not a parent so you actually made me feel like I was Anakin, trying to keep his sanity in check after watching Tahiri not wanting to let her son go.
I am a parent, a parent who has to turn her children over to the ex for three days every week and it is gut wrenching, and even I can’t fathom what it would be like for A&T, so I just shut my eyes and typed and hoped I’d tapped into some emotions that would pull people in without seeming to over the top.
It was truly heartbreaking to watch this scene unfold. I could just imagine Tahiri just holding Will, relishing the fact she has him in her arms.
Again, as a parent, there is nothing like holding your baby, or child. Big Sithter is nine and almost as tall as me, and still loves it when I shnuggler her up and tell her that she’ll always be my baby, even when she’s grown and in college, or married with kids of her own, she will always be my baby. When she’s 40 I’ll still pull her into my lap and brush back her hair and run my fingers through it and say silly things like ‘I remember when you were 3 months hold and I’d cradle you in my arms and sit in the rocking chair (which is still in my bedroom, BTW) and sing you lullabyes, and you gaze up at me’. I think it gives her a sense that no matter what is happening in her live, Mommy is always there to keep her safe, and the point I was trying to get at with that scen in the hall was that Will needed Tahiri, and Tahiri needed those last seconds with Will, to remind her of what she was doing all of this for, so she could come back and have all those moments with Will in the future.
And Will is so cute again, even though he can feel the sadness and anguish his parents are going through. And the way you had his sucking his thumb, holding Tahiri's hair and cuddling into her neck was just too cute. I could definitely picture it in my mind clearly.
Thank you! I’m glad that came across the way I wanted it to.
And to have Jacen, Jacen of all people interrupt the little family goodbyes was priceless.
The beginning of Jacen’s own personal journey… watch out for that.
Tahiri behaved. WOO HOO!!! so did Jacen! oh and Anakin. Everyone is growing up! YAY!!!!
Exactly.
Anakin suspected that it might have been brought about by the talk Han had had with Jacen after ‘the big breakfast’. Or, maybe it had something to do with the talk Leia had had with Jacen after ‘the big breakfast’. Or the talks Luke and Mara had with him.
Or, maybe, it had something to do with another incident that Jag had filled Anakin in on. It involved lightsabers and one very pissed off petite brunette who had to be hauled away from her twin before cybernetic limb replacement was required.
Oh so that is why Jacen is so behaved. He not only had "talks" with about everyone imaginable but he dueled with Jaina. Yep I would be on my best behavior if I had a sister like that one. Especially when she was mad at you!
Jacen is growing, and Jacen will see things on this mission, Jacen will ‘see’ a lot of things. Remember that I said that.
I also liked the fact you included the backstory of the squad and how Anakin and Tahiri came up with the people who were in it. I loved Paloma and how much Anakin likes her and trust her.
Lomi! I love her. It’s so funny how a character can go from being an after thought, to a vital component.
Then Valin and Tahiri. I adore the respect and love they have for each other. Perfect.
When you think about it, to have been through what they went through on Yavin, it just seems like they should have more of a bond in profic. But then, that’s just me. I always thought he should have been brought out of the Maw to be her new sidekick. Maybe he could have helped her keep Riina at bay, maybe even been a distraction from her turmoil and eventually they could have, very slowly, and over time, built a relationship.
As for the end, I had tears in my eyes (No i didn't cry just teared up.) Again I cannot even relate but I could feel the pain both of them were going through.
Well, considering what happened the last time Anakin went on a Jedi mission… he’s sort of batting 0 for 1… his odds, even for a Corellian, are a little shaky.
Sooo...cannot wait for the next few posts. They shall be interesting!!!
I’m excited for he next one. I hope you all like it.

Where in California were you and why did you not look me up? I would have loved to have met you and MR. CJM for dinner! When Tahi was in town last we had a fab dinner, though, she was horribly jetlagged and I had to use the margarita pitcher to prop her up toward the end. But still, it was great to see her during her two hour lay over on her way to TahiriSoloFan’s house.
But on with the review!
I loved the Leia POV in Harmony...
Didn’t I say I’d bring people back around?
her reflection of the the general asshattery that was going on mid-NJO and onward was bang on!
I thought so. And though I’ve always thought that Leia was a workaholic who neglected her kids, she does love them, she just needs a swift kick of reality sometime to get her priorities straight. I think the situation with A&T did that.
And as for crouching at the finish line... man, you made me cry! Mr CJM and I recently returned from a week out in Cali... we didn't take Darth Kindergartener with us.
We were there 2 hours before we looked at each other and said "we're never leaving her again". Pathetic, I know.
I personally think you need those breaks now and then specifically so that you appreciate what you have left behind. Goodness knows I’m a far more attentive mother now that Big Sithter and Darth Little Boy spend half their time with Emperor Ex Husband.
And you know what we did when we got home, picked her up from bed and sandwiched her inbetween us in our bed. Best thing ever!
Usually I’m the meat in that sandwhich… which is why on any given morning it’s anyone’s guess who is going to wake up in who’s bed. I have ot set alarms all over the house to make sure we get to school on time because there is every chance that just because I start out in one bed does not mean I’ll wake up there in the morning.
My kids are bed hogs.
Every chapter you write just gets better. The depth is incredible. Keep it up Preggers!
Oh, thank you! I appreciate hearing that!
PS... Flow ho is freaking priceless.
Had you not heard that? That’s what I’ve been calling Tahiri since that horrible book where Jacen first takes her flow walking. Man I hated that, hence my using it to justify my story here. Take THAT! Rostini and Denning… You bastards!
Aven Kiel!!!!!!!!!!!
I just realized I forgot to bold you! How would you have found yourself!
And yes... Jacen will have some realizations soon.
You're reading my story!!!!!!!!!!
And in a marathon read! I'm so excited that you came over and I'm thrilled that you like it. I hope this will tied you over until F&L is back and running. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Okay I don’t have a lot of time this week so I thought I'd just pick out a couple of favorite moments in this post…
Works for me.
Face was a god in Bram’s book; Face was what Bram wanted to be when he grew up.
I loved this line!
Thank you! That is always how I’ve pictured Bram… from the first scene, and from Anakin’s view of him when Anakin wanted to crush his head for ‘looking’ at Tahiri… so I was thrilled to be able to squeeze that line in.
“Uh…” Tahiri defended, “I’m not taking Valin with me, so I’m not going to need to be kept out of trouble.”
“Yeah, like it’s my fault you’re a crash artist.” Valin teased. Then he put his arms around Tahiri and Will, leaned his cheek against hers and said, “Stay safe, I don’t want to have to break in new wing mate. As big a pain in the ass as you are, I’ve finally got you trained up the way I like.”
Tahiri smiled and said, “Starfood.”
Tahiri's tone here is so much fun...I don't know if I'll ever be able to read or write about Valin again without "starfood" going through my head...and its all your fault LOL!!!
Starfood has sort of taken on a life of it’s own. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to think of Valin without thinking of Starfood ever again.
For a crazy second he thought about telling her to stay, telling her not to go with him, to screw the plans. They didn’t need a translator, they didn’t need the Jeedai-who-was-shaped to galvanize the Shamed Ones; she should stay there and protect their son like she did when he’d gone to Myrkr, and in one of those rare crystal clear moments like that day they’d been arrested on Eriadu, she seemed to know exactly what was going through his mind and she said, “No.” Then she kissed Will’s head and pulled him away from her and said, “I love you.” And then pushed him into Winter’s arms and ran to the transport.
Anakin sucked in a breath, startled at both the lightening fast speed at which all those thoughts had raced through his mind and at the fact that Tahiri had caught all of them, and at the emotion pouring off of her and Will, who was now crying too.
He leaned over and took Will’s face in his hands, and kissed his forehead, then pulled back, and looked into his bright green eyes, Tahiri’s eyes, and said, “Daddy loves you too. I’ll bring mama home soon, I promise.”
Then he turned and ran after Tahiri.
Okay the good bye at the end was so heartbreaking...and I think so true to who Anakin and Tahiri are as individuals. Anakin once more considering leaving her behind...when is that boy going to learn? And Tahiri freaking out when she realizes what he is thinking that and rushing on board the ship before he can stop her...it would almost be comical if weren't so bloody terrible. I can't imagine leaving my baby boy behind and wondering if I would ever see him again. Anyway...looking forward to what you have coming up over the next few posts.
I have to leave my babies every week, and it’s awful and they are only a couple of miles away and I can opo over and see them any time I want. But the first few weeks, when I was alone in my condo when they were at their father’s… man… it was terrible, so I can’t imagine what it would be like for A&T. So, yeah… Anakin’s flash of wanting to leave her behind, and then her feeling like she has to rush to get on the shuttle… tough stuff.
Okay… Beta Boy just sent me something, I’m going to click over and make sure it’s the update, then insert all the corrections and see if I can get it uploaded before I take Darth Little Boy to Temple for his little Shabbat performance.
Back in a bit.

Fragile: An Anakin and Tahiri Story Ch 21 Reluctantly Crouched At The Starting Line
Fragile
Chapter 22
Roll Up For The Mystery Tour
Jacen starred out at the landscape before him and felt like he would cry.
It wasn’t so much that he missed the cityscape of Coruscant, it wasn’t that he missed the durcacrete or the traffic or the congestion of the world he’d been born on. It was that he was stunned by the transformation of his home.
How could so much change have occurred in so little time?
Jacen was painfully aware of the destruction that had been wrought in order to bring about the change; of what had been torn down, of what had been killed,
who
had been killed, the billions who had lost their lives in order to bring about the changes that had taken place. For the first time he felt a little of the righteous anger he had seen as a flaw in his brother for so long.
He glanced over at Anakin -Tahiri, as always, right there at his side. With their bedrolls and backpacks they almost looked, again, like a couple of kids on vacation, as opposed to soldiers embarking on a strike against the Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong. They were standing with Face Loran and Kell Tainer, smiling at something one or both of the renowned agents were saying.
It was only when Anakin passed Tahiri a bandolier hung heavily with concussion and fragmention grenades that the vacation vibe disappeared.
Tahiri, as was apparently her habit, was subtly armed to the hilt. She was wearing that hairclip again. According to Mara it was actually a bomb. Mara had also told Jacen that there were knives in the toes of Tahiri’s boots, triggered when she smacked her heel against the ground. She also had knives
in
her boots. The weapons he could see, aside from the grenades, were the two lightsabers hanging from the equipment belt slung low on her hips, and the very large blaster strapped to her thigh.
Jacen had recently realized that Tahiri must have a violent streak, and he wondered why he hadn’t noticed it before. It would make sense; she had been raised for several years by Sand People. Jacen wondered if that was part of the attraction for Anakin. It would fit with Anakin’s tendency to swing first and ask questions later.
In a moment that had made Jacen cringe, he had wondered if violence might actually contribute to the ‘physicality’ in their relationship. The mere memory of the thought made him cringe again; he hated the fact that he’d even had a thought about their ‘physicality’. It made him feel voyeuristic. But they weren’t exactly subtle about their rambunctious sex life and Jacen had again wondered if part of the attraction for Anakin was that his wife might very well be able to kill him in bed.
Maybe his little brother really liked living on the edge.
Jacen shook his head, tried to dispel the visuals that went with thoughts of Anakin and Tahiri’s intimate life, but caught himself once again studying their current demeanor, was once again taken aback by the idea that everything seemed so easy for them, and in a flash Jacen wondered if Tahiri had been right back on Hapes when she’d accused him of being jealous of Anakin.
He’d hated to think that he was, hated to think that all this time it was resentment or envy that fueled his disdain for how Anakin lived his life and made his choices. He liked to think that he was a better person than that, that he was more thoughtful and circumspect, that he made his own decisions and had his own ideas based on his own sense of morality. He wanted to believe that his disagreements with his brother stemmed from honest differences in opinions and that it was Anakin’s fault that those differences so often led to arguments rather than simple acceptance that different people could hold different ideals.
He was beginning to think that maybe that wasn’t the case after all.
He’d worked so hard over the past five years to see things in a different light than how Anakin saw things, tried to view this war and the enemy and the Force in a way that was more holistic and less aggressive than his brother did. But turning back to the view of the landscape, thinking back to the mindless slaughter of beings he’d seen on all the other planets the Vong had taken, the destruction of other worlds, he had to admit, enough was enough.
Maybe Anakin was right; there was a time and a place for everything. When this was over, he could go about preaching, or rather
teaching
peace, but right now, that wasn’t possible. Right now, the Vong had to be stopped.
He stepped closer to his brother and sister-in-law, curious as to what they found funny, what they were discussing with the legendary Wraith members that was making them smile in the midst of their surroundings. He was pretty sure Face had just asked Anakin how long it had been since he’d been to Coruscant. Anakin must have been as surprised by the planet’s transformation as he’d been, though he wasn’t sure why they would have been laughing at that.
Jacen took another step closer to hear, stood beside Anakin; waited for his brother’s response as he waited for the group to start the trek.
“Four years, a little longer.” Anakin was telling Face. “The night I left to go to Yavin.”
“Ah,” Face said. “Your first foray into sneaking off to save the galaxy.”
Jacen watched Anakin reach for Tahiri’s hand, brought it up to his mouth and kissed her palm as he began walking, fell in step behind Luke, Face and Mara, as they started walking, began to lead the way through the shrubs and tall grass, the rest of the group following suite.
“Nah,” Anakin finally answered, “just my girlfriend. I didn’t start sneaking off to save the galaxy until a few months later.”
“I wasn’t your girlfriend yet then, dummy.” Tahiri corrected from beside him.
“True… just my best friend.”
“Your partner in crime.” She laughed back.
“Now there’s an apt description.” Luke muttered, from directly ahead of Anakin.
“Are you implying that we were difficult children, Uncle Luke?” Anakin asked, and even Jacen couldn’t help but smile.
If not difficult, they’d certainly all been adventurous children.
“Of course not, Anakin. You and Tahiri were model students. Always in bed on time, always where you were supposed to be, never in the med center, never giving me or Kam or Tionne any cause for worry or concern.”
Tahiri was laughing again, until Anakin hooked a thumb in her direction and said; “Hey, blame it on her; I never got into any trouble until she came into my life.”
Tahiri’s smile faded and her Force presence became very still as she sighed and said, “That’s me; causing nothing but trouble for the Solo family since 21 ABY.”
Jacen could tell that Anakin regretted his comment, and was amused as he watched his little brother try to smooth things over with his wife.
“But worth every bump and bruise.” Anakin told her as he pulled on her arm, pulled her closer, and kissed her neck quickly before she pulled away and continued walking. “And you were smokin’ hot in that little orange jumpsuit.”
Luke made a slight throat-clearing noise as Tahiri said, “Oh, brother.” Then she sighed indulgently. “And you wonder why people assume the worst about us.”
It took Jacen a second to figure out why Luke was radiating discomfort, but he didn’t have a chance to think too much about it before his brother cut back in.
“Now what could you possibly be referring to, Agent Veila?”
Luke made another noise and Tahiri giggled.
“As if you don’t know.” Then she added, “You’re bad news, Colonel Solo.”
“Because orange turned me on?”
This time Luke huffed, and Tahiri snorted. Mara, who was ahead of Jacen, and to the right of Luke, shot Anakin a look over her shoulder, but Jacen could feel the humor coming off of his brother when he continued his compliments with, “It went so well with your complexion.”
“You’re horrible,” Tahiri scolded, as she rolled her eyes. “I was fourteen in the orange.”
Anakin laughed again.
“Okay, enough.” Luke was clearly not as amused as Anakin or Tahiri. “As one of the adults charged with watching over you at that age, I’m not finding the orange jumpsuit bit funny.”
“I never found it funny. That was an awful color.” Tahiri complained.
“But it set off your eyes so beautifully.”
“Anakin.” Mara, Luke and Tahiri all cried in unison.
Anakin just laughed some more.
After a few moments of silence Jaina asked, “So, she wasn’t your girlfriend when you went to Yavin?”
“Nope.” Anakin replied.
Tahiri giggled again. “Here it comes.”
“Here what comes?” Jaina asked.
“So who wins?” This time it was Kell asking the question, and Jacen could tell he was trying to sound innocent, though Jacen had no idea why.
“I’m not sure anyone wins, since technically, Anakin sort of brought the whole thing up himself,” Face informed him, obviously in on whatever Kell was asking about.
“I’m not sure anyone wins, since technically, no one’s actually asked the question,” Tahiri informed them both.
“Wins what?” Mara asked, and Jacen couldn’t tell what was frustrating her more; the conversation, or the vines tangled around her ankles. She unhooked her lightsaber from her belt and cut at the vines, then cut the blade off and glanced back at Anakin.
“The bet,” Anakin informed her.
“What bet?” Jaina asked.
To Jacen’s amazement, it was Huane, the Yuuzhan Vong Shaper Tahiri had insisted on bringing along on the trek, walking behind Anakin, who supplied the answer to Jaina’s question.
“It would seem, and please to excuse me not always better Basic. It would seem, many think bad things to regards relationship of Tahiri domain Veila and Anakin domain Solo because they have not reached mature age before marriage. The bet is when you ask they become couple.”
Jacen watched in shock as his brother laughed out loud and then turned and offered the Shaper a high five while her cheeks turned a slight shade of lavender, which Jacen assumed was the closest thing to a blush a Vong got.
Tahiri stopped and put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow at Anakin.
“And you wonder why I never want to take you to work with me.”
“You said to work with her on her Basic,” Anakin defended.
“Yeah, conversational Basic, ‘Hello, my name is Huane’, ‘How are you today?’ Not the history of our relationship or gambling.”
“Ah,” Tron, one of the Shamed Ones, walking beside Kell, said, “Idiot’s Array?”
Even Luke laughed at that and Tahiri dropped her head into her hands, but then lifted it back up and glared at Anakin.
“Excuse me, Tahiri domain Veila,” Huane said, coming to Anakin’s defense, “Anakin domain Solo also helped me with… astro-navigation.”
Tahiri moaned as Anakin raised his hands, palms up, in a classic Han Solo ‘what?’ pose.
“You taught her to program jumps?”
“If there had been an emergency, you would have been thanking me.” Anakin said.
“Unbelievable.” Tahiri sighed as she unclipped her lightsaber and hacked at some vines around her ankles.
“Excuse me, Tahiri domain Veila, but Anakin domain Solo also taught me to count time, and put me in charge of bet. As of,” Huane stepped over to Anakin, and none to gently, twisted his arm around, causing him to yelp, and everyone else to laugh. Looking at Anakin’s wrist chrono, Huane continued, “As of 109 minutes into journey, no being has asked the control question. We have no winner.”
They all began walking again, in silence until Jacen finally asked; “Well?”
“Well, what?” This time it was Kell who answered, playing innocent again.
“When did you become a couple?” Mara gritted out.
Face turned back and looked at Huane pointedly. “Time.”
“Not yet,” Anakin tsked, then, turning back to Mara, “Can you define what you mean by ‘couple’?”
Tahiri seemed to find her humor again and laughed.
It was Jaina who finally nearly wailed, “what kind of break-down do you want? When did you first kiss?”
“Time.” Face called to Huane again.
Anakin stopped walking and made a production of showing his chrono to Huane
“One-hundred fourteen minutes. The award is for Colonel Celchu.”
“He’s always the big winner.” Kell complained.
“You’d almost think he had the Force.” Face added.
Anakin smirked, unhooked his lightsaber, and cut away at some vines near his feet, then cut at some vines near Luke’s, then resumed walking as he said to his sister; “In answer to your question, Jaina, it was in a locker on an airless space station in orbit over Yag’Dhul.”
“When I was dying?” Mara asked, clearly insulted.
“We didn’t know you were dying at the time. And trust me, as soon as we realized, it put a real damper on things. We didn’t touch each other again for weeks, if that makes you feel any better.”
“Somehow, it sort of does,” she responded.
Jacen could tell that Luke wasn’t mollified. “So, you were fourteen and sixteen?”
Tahiri smiled again. “Fifteen and seventeen, actually. But then, like he said, nothing happened again for ages. In fact, when he did kiss me,” she laughed, “we said if we survived, if we didn’t die in the airless locker, we’d have to figure out our relationship, you know because we’d been best friends since we were little kids. So Anakin’s solution…”
“Oh, you’re evil.” Anakin hissed.
Tahiri giggled and dodged out of Anakin’s reach as he tried to pinch her arm.
“Anakin’s idea of ‘figuring out our relationship’ was to ignore me for several weeks. Then, he shows up at my door one night, and informs me that he’s figured it all out.”
“Evil. With a capital ‘E’.”
“So he sits me down, and he can barely look at me at first, so I’m preparing myself for the worst. I’m certain I’m about to have my heart broken. And I’m trapped on the
Venture
with him, and then what was I going to do?”
“Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the devotion and the sense of sacredness?” Anakin asked.
“And then he blurts out; ‘I was doing some research on fighter specs and I found this statistic… ah… did you know that… uhm… in forty-two percent of New Republic Star Systems the only requirement for legality of matrimony is the mutual agreement of two participants over the age of fourteen?’”
Jaina squealed, “Oh Force! That’s where he got forty-two?”
Tahiri continued to laugh and nodded as she went on. “So I’m sitting there with my mouth hanging open…”
The sound of Tahiri’s lightsaber snapping on caught Jacen’s attention again. He jumped slightly and looked over to see her slicing at more vines covering her foot.
“Sorry. My boot was caught.”
She powered her weapon back down as Anakin spoke up.
“Might be the only time in all the years I’ve know her I’ve rendered her speechless. Almost worth the embarrassment and humiliation.”
“So I’m sitting there with my mouth hanging open, trying to figure out where he’s going with this, and then he says, ‘oh, and I’m in love with you. So, are we in mutual agreement?’”
“And she says” Anakin cut in, putting his hands on his hips in imitation of Tahiri, “Honestly Anakin, are you really going to ask me to marry you before you even kiss me again?’”
“To which he replies, ‘Oh, yeah… uhm… right.’ Like that is the last thing he wants to do.”
“It was actually the first thing I planned to do, but I got nervous when I got there and sort of started with the end of my ‘to do’ list by accident.”
“’To do’ list?” Jaina asked, horrified. “Wow, how romantic.”
“It’s always wise to have a plan,” Face laughed, “even if you don’t stick to it.”
“Thank you,” Anakin said. “At least someone understands. And still, I was so nervous, it took us ages to get past the innocent kissing stage.”
“Really?” Jaina was clearly surprised.
Tahiri laughed again. “Yeah, much to, I’m sure everyone’s surprise, we stayed innocent for quite awhile.”
“I’m still trying to rectify that.” Anakin added smugly.
Tahiri batted the back of his head playfully. “What was that you were just saying about ‘sacred’, hero boy?”
“Well, besides being innocent, we made a conscious choice to wait until Tahiri turned sixteen to do anything too serious.”
“Why?” Jacen asked, astonished.
“Because we were still on the
Venture
and Corran was stalking us,” Tahiri explained, “and Anakin was terrified of him.”
“The man was relentless. And with all the jumping we were doing from system to system, I could just see us popping out somewhere where the age of consent was sixteen and not fourteen or fifteen, and Corran arresting me just to prove a point. I wasn’t taking any chances. You would have thought Tahiri was his daughter.”
“I’m sure he thought he was looking out for her best interests,” Mara said.
“No he wasn’t, he was bored and feeling superior. She could have held a senate seat for any number of planets, and been legally married, but not slept with her husband? I pity any man who ever takes an interest in Jysella.”
“You don’t think it had anything to do with wanting to keep you guys from making a mistake? Or thinking he might have a better idea of the gravity of the choices you were making?” Luke asked.
“No, as a matter of fact, I don’t,” Anakin said. “And to this day I catch him glaring at me once in a while. I finally told him last time he came to see Valin that Tahiri and I were married and had a child and he really needed to get over this. And that we had, in fact, been married a second time, by the same man who performed his own wedding ceremony.”
“Then Anakin grinned at him and invited him to sleep on our couch.”
“He has no sense of humor sometimes.”
“Valin and Mirax nearly hemorrhaged laughing though. That was fun to watch,” Tahiri said.
Jaina cut at some vines near her feet, then asked, “So wait, when we were all on the
Venture
that year, and it was your sixteenth birthday, and I asked what Anakin gave you, and you said he was all the present you needed…”
Anakin snorted. “You said that?”
“Your brother’s the gift that keeps on giving,” Tahiri giggled.
“Ewwww,” Jaina moaned.
“Hey, if you didn’t want the answer you shouldn’t have asked the question, sis.”
“I’m starting to regret that I asked the question. In fact, I’m starting to regret that anyone asked any question.”
“Especially since none of us won the bet,” Jacen said. “What did Tycho win, anyway?”
“A night on our couch.” Anakin and Tahiri both laughed, but their humor was cut short as Anakin began cutting at more vines.
“So how long have you been married now?” Face wondered.
“In my eyes, or Wedge’s eyes?” Anakin asked.
“Both.”
“Three and a half years, and almost a year.”
“And Mama Tahiri is still Veila and not Solo or Veila Solo, like the rest of the women in the family because…?” Kell asked.
“Are you kidding?” Tahiri asked. “You say the name ‘Solo’ and half the galaxy turns around.”
Anakin stopped walking and threw an arm around Jacen’s shoulders, waited for Jaina to catch up, then threw his other arm around hers and said, “Yeah, but it’s the devastatingly good looking half.”
Tahiri moaned and rolled her eyes again.
Over much laughter, Jacen nodded, “You know what, Tahiri, I’m going to have to agree with him on this.”
“Yeah, so am I.” Jaina added.
“As if I ever doubted you were Han Solo’s children…” Mara said, shaking her head.
Jaina shook off Anakin’s arm and snapped her lightsaber on, at almost the same time Luke snapped his on, both hacking at vines that Jacen realized were no longer just tangled around their feet, but actually climbing up their legs. Just as they were cutting themselves free, Tahiri snapped her blade on again and suddenly Jacen realized all the Jedi had their blades on and the vines were creeping faster.
“What’s going on?” Face called out.
“I don’t know.” Luke yelled.
“The vines are attacking us.” Mara cried.
Jacen looked around long enough to realize that the Vong and the Wraiths were untroubled.
“Run,” Luke called, pointing toward a collapsed building in the distance.
They all did, scrambling and swinging at the foliage in front of them, following behind the others until they’d cleared the open field and made it to the shelter that lay a hundred meters from where they’d been when the vines had begun to overwhelm them.
The six Jedi collapsed on the floor and against the walls of the battered building, panting and gasping, while the two Wraiths and the four Yuuzhan Vong looked on in confusion.
Jacen finally rolled to his side, far enough to sit up with his backpack still on, and, panting, looked at his aunt and uncle, leaning together against a wall, shaking their heads. He reached over to his sister, stuck on her back at an awkward angle because of her own pack, and grabbed her hand, pulling her to sitting. “You okay?”
“Yeah,” she breathed out, “you?”
“Yeah. Anakin?”
“Yeah.”
Anakin was sitting against the wall, Tahiri cradled in his arms, as he ran his hand over her head while she worked to calm her breathing.
“You take me to the best places.” She finally wheezed out.
“Think of this as that honeymoon I’ve always promised you.” Anakin panted.
“Sometimes, your romantic side comes shinning through…”
“I can be romantic…”
“…bright as a newborn star.”
“This is the third planet I’ve walked across for you. And that’s not counting Tatooine when I was eleven. How much more romance do you need?”
Tahiri sat up, got to her knees, and kissed Anakin’s forehead before gaining her feet and reaching down to pull him up, then walking to the edge of the duracrete.
“Next time,” Anakin continued, “can we make it a civilized planet? Not that I wouldn’t do it again and again, but having a speeder might be nice for a change.”
“Then you wouldn’t be ‘walking’ across a planet for me,” she shot over her shoulder distractedly, as she stood at the edge of what was left of the room the group was standing in, and looked out at the field they’d just left.
“Holy bantha kriffer…” Tahiri breathed out a few minutes later, as she began to back away from the opening. “Jacen, now would be a really good time to show us all how great you are with animals.”
Jacen leapt up and joined Tahiri at the edge of the room, and felt his mouth drop open at what was coming their way.
“I’m not sure that’s going to respond to anything I can do.”
Instead of even attempting to reach out to the animal with the Force, instead of even attempting to see if the animal was Yuuzhan Vong, or a species he could communicate with, he grabbed Tahiri’s hand, swung her around with him and screamed, “Run!” to the rest of the group, and bolted for the stairway at the back of the room.

Fragile: An Anakin and Tahiri Story Ch 22 Roll Up For The Mystery Tour
Holy moly...I got a bad feeling about this!!!
First off I want to reply about your mother statement. I may be only 23 (and i am sorry if that makes you feel old) but my mom still thinks of me as her baby girl. There are just times where I wanna go running to mommy just cuz I need her and there are times where I swear she has some telepathic connection to me because she will call me exactly when I need it. Or she calls when I am sick so now I can understand because truthfully I have no idea how she does her mommy thing. But i know one thing is that I cannot live without my mom. That and my younger brothers were the reason I did not move far away.
And I keep seeing that you live in my old hometown...LA. Small small world.
Now onto the post...
Ok so I am replying probably wayyy ahead of the PM's but I am home on a Friday night in Orlando...and watching my Magic. Tomorrow my Knights and Gators play so I figured I will get this in now.
I just had to cringe and laugh at the beginning of the chapter. It was just priceless for Jacen to think of his younger brother and Tahiri's sex life. Seriously this man needs to get some, it will make him see things in a totally different light.
Maybe his little brother really liked living on the edge.
Uh duh, after having a close call with death I am assuming that Anakin wants to live his life, on the edge. But then he also has Tahiri which just makes him get into more trouble.
Now I am glad that Jacen is seeing exactly what the Vong are doing and he is beginning to realize that peace will not work with them. Finally, someone has Gibbs' slapped him. FINALLY!!!
Ahh...bets. I loved how oblivious the Jacen, Jaina, Luke and Mara were to when Anakin and Tahiri really got together. It was quite the scene. I loved Luke's reaction to Anakin's comment about orange turning him on. I also love the fact that Tahiri seems to be the one trying to get Anakin off the subject of their love life and he just keeps going on and on and on.
Then the Vong and their knowlesge of basic. I am so glad my other half is asleep at the foot of the bed or he would be looking at me very strangely as I almost spit out my drink laughing at those comments. Just priceless! especially because of the fact they are on a dangerous mission and they might not get out of it. Perfect way to alleviate those thoughts.
Ah...now they know the story of forty two. How utterly romantic Anakin...trekking across another dangerous planet to save his wife!
Oh and that's why Corran won't come around anymore!
Anakin stopped walking and threw an arm around Jacen’s shoulders, waited for Jaina to catch up, then threw his other arm around hers and said, “Yeah, but it’s the devastatingly good looking half.”
Tahiri moaned and rolled her eyes again.
Over much laughter, Jacen nodded, “You know what, Tahiri, I’m going to have to agree with him on this.”
“Yeah, so am I.” Jaina added.
“As if I ever doubted you were Han Solo’s children…” Mara said, shaking her head.
Oh I love these lines as the Solo kids become the Solo kids again. Oh man that was so nice to see....before danger approached!
Oh dear, here come the Yuuzhan Vong creations again, causing trouble for our favorite characters!!! And what the kriff was it that caused Jacen to turn around and run? Hmmm...
Now I see why you said Jacen was going to see alot of things. It is nice to see him open his eyes a little to other views of the galaxy!
Well...great post and great cliffie! I loved it and cannot wait for more!
Oh and only 5 to 6 more post left...I really do hope you continue Fear and Love then!
Great job!

I guess boys being afraid to kiss girls is always going to be a fact XD. My own boyfriend was unbelievable nervous when he asked me if I wanted to go out with him, stuttering included and it then took him three hours until he had the courage to give me a peck on the lips, no scratch that, I don't think he even touched my lips.
Anyway, I loved this chapter. But then again that's not a surprise anymore seeing that I've loved every chapter of this story so far.
So basically, this is all I can do at this point ->
And by the way, you're only as old as you feel

Fragile: An Anakin and Tahiri Story Ch 22 Roll Up For The Mystery Tour
That was fabulous!
Couldn't stop grinning through the whole post! Especially loved Anakin and Tahiri telling the start of their relationship as a "couple", the bet, Anakin talking about the good looking Solo kids, wrapping his arms around the twins, Jacen agreeing with him, Mara saying that was totally Han
, and the general comraderie. Nice!
