I caught up! I have been reading this ever since I found it. (which was last year) and I have to say this is one really great story and there are some interesting side storys here too. 
I could write a whole story on how much i like this and go over everything i like, but i'm not going to. 
What i think is that Palpy has Vader all wrong and that it is very interesting that Piett could tell that he was no longer talking to Anakin Skywalker, but Darth Vader so quickly and just by the sound of his voice.
Welcome back my lord. 
Why didn't anyone think that Mara wouldn't be the best person to bring on that trip?  
Update soon for all your loving readers!

Okay, so I know that this is really weird, but... I sort of just wrote a new post. Sending it off to NA as we speak - hopefully she'll agree to beta it, and then, maybe, there will be an *gasp* update.
Who would have thought?
Of course I realize that most people who read this story gave up long ago, and I can't blame you, but well... If anyone's still out there, your patience will soon be rewarded.
Love,
Kee

This is a very important moment for me. There is a post! Yeah. And NA did a very quick beta, so... it's here! Right now. Under all this pointless rambling.
JediElanor: DRL's a bitch, but I'll be happy to be your master, now and always.
Yeah.
*takes a deep breath*
Here goes:
----
It was all very familiar, and the familiarity calmed him. Beyond rage, beyond hatred and fear, there was a place where everything was quiet and clear, and that was where Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, found himself as he steered his ship closer to the surface of Endor. Stretching out with his feelings he sensed his son, sensed Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Unharmed – for now, but not for long.
There was nothing he could do. Nothing he could do to save them.
Oh, how Palpatine must laugh, safe as he thought himself to be on the Death Star. How he must enjoy his former apprentice's anguish.
Darth Vader smiled mirthlessly?. You are a fool, my master, for you have forgotten what you yourself have taught me – or did you think that I had?
I have not.
I have not.
And he reached out, flying low over the verdant forests of Endor, calling on all of his rage and hatred and fear, imagining Luke’s bleeding body on a cold floor, picturing Obi-Wan’s lifeless eyes staring back at him. And every emotion, every twisted surge of furious despair, he took and he molded it, channeled it, aimed it –
- and the shield generator exploded in a brilliant blaze of orange and white, and as it did Darth Vader threw his head back and screamed, as if he was the one whose body was being torn apart.
“General, the shield is down!”
Piett closed his eyes, relief welling up inside of him. But when he spoke, his voice was very calm, and quite steady. “All ships regroup for a renewed attack. We’re taking that Death Star down.”
“Yessir!”
The Lieutenant hurried away, but Piett remained where he was, staring out at the battle. Impossible as he knew it to be, he tried to locate a single, special ship, and he wondered, with a sudden chill creeping down his spine, what this victory had cost them – and Anakin Skywalker.
Mara Jade could not help but smile as she made her way to the cell where the prisoners were being kept. This – capturing Luke Skywalker and a couple of other Jedi as well – would certainly be enough to redeem her in the eyes of the Emperor after the fiasco on Tatooine several weeks earlier. That seemed such a long time ago...
She had not yet been in touch with the Emperor – certainly he was busy overseeing the battle – but she looked forward to bringing him her report. He would be pleased, she knew, and the thought filled her with a warm glow. To serve him, to serve the Empire, to serve it well... That kind of devotion to a noble purpose was something that Skywalker and his treacherous father would never understand.
Mara rounded a corner and found herself standing face to face with a squadron of stormtroopers, commanded by a tall man with reddish hair. They were standing just outside the prisoners’ cell and the man was clearly issuing instructions to the troppers.
“What is going on here?” Mara demanded.
The tall man looked up, and must have recognized her for he responded with a corteous bow. “The Emperor’s orders, ma’am. The prisoners are to be terminated immediately.”
Mara blinked. She had not expected this. Of course Skywalker and the Jedi had to die, for the good of the Empire, but...
“Immediately? What about interrogation?”
The man did not hesitate. “The Emperor has ordered that they be executed straight away, ma’am.”
And if that was the Emperor’s orders there could be no questioning them. Yet –
Mara blinked, trying to shake the sudden confusion. Why would she care if Skywalker was killed quickly? There could be no doubt as to his guilt – he had bragged of it even, how he sought to undermine the Empire and the stability it offered to countless of billions all across the galaxy. He was traitor, and all traitors deserved to die – had to die.
Yet –
“Hey!”
She turned around at the sudden cry, and saw a stormtrooper sprinting towards them.
“New orders from the Emperor,” the trooper said as he came to a halt before her and the other soldiers.
Behind Mara the tall man frowned. “New orders? How - ?”
And she knew that something was wrong, very wrong, and she reached for her blaster but she did not have time to fire it before everything went black.
“What was that?”
Luke stood as the sound of blasters being fired filtered through the locked door. Still seated on the floor, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan exchanged glances. The older of the two Jedi smiled. “I think we’re being rescued.”
Obi-Wan snorted. “Always the optimist. Who would come to our rescue?”
“Maybe the Noghri escaped from wherever they were being held,” Luke suggested, straining his ears to make sense of the muffled screams and shots from outside the cell.
“Possibly,” Obi-Wan agreed, but he did not sound convinced.
And then everything was quiet again.
And then the door slid open and in through it stepped a stormtrooper, blaster in hand. Behind him Luke could see white figures spread over the floor like discarded toys. And beyond them, a lithe figure in black, her red hair floating out under her head –
Luke’s gaze returned to the trooper. “What is going on?” he demanded.
“Well, what does it look like?” And the trooper lifted his arms and removed his helmet, revealing the slightly smudged but grinning face of Wrenga Jixton. “I’m here to rescue you.”
Aboard the Second Death Star Darth Sidious stared in disbelief as snubfigher after snubfigter penetrated what ought to have been an impenetrable shield. The generator on Endor must have been destroyed.
How?
A tidal wave of someone else’s pure despair washed over him and his yellow eyes narrowed. Vader.
In spite of his anger, Sidious had to smile. Well done, my apprentice. Well done indeed.
Of course, if Vader had found a way to control his anger and turn it on his former master the Emperor’s position here was... uncertain. The smile faltered. Abruptly, the Sith stood, turning his back to the battle enfolding outside the viewport.
It seems I will have to end this another way. Very well. So be it.
Streaks of lethal light, explosions, the faster-than-an-eye-could-follow movements of ships pursuing each other through space –
Confusion, determination, fear, exhiliration –
The battle – which would someday be known as the Battle of Endor – raged on. Thousands of ships, big and tiny, battle cruisers and snubfighters – thousands of them. Too many to count, should anyone try to. But who would count or care, when death or glory or both were but an instant away?
So it was not strange that no one noticed the Imperial shuttle leaving from a small hangar near where the Emperor’s Throne Tower reached for the stars. What Rebel would concern him- or herself with a ship like that when there were TIEs and Star Destroyers everywhere? The shuttle moved swiftly through the battle, moving away from it, darting away from danger. Targeted by no one, seen by none.
None but a lone man in a X-Wing, his blonde hair plastered against a forehead drenched in sweat. His eyes, blue but fogged by such pain and hatred that they might as well be yellow, locked on the shuttle, and white teeth were bared in a grin most closely resembling a tortured grimace.
Punching the controls of his fighter, Anakin speeded after fleeing shuttle, calculating furiously as he went.
The battle – which would someday be known as the Battle of Endor – raged on. And no one, not even Piett, noticed the two ships, shuttle and fighter, suddenly disappear from sight as they, almost simultaneously, made their jump to lightspeed.
“Hey, what’s the matter? We need to get out of here!”
Obi-Wan knew that Jix was right, but he could not shake the sudden sensation of dread that had gripped him, and caused him to stop dead in his tracks. Next to him, Luke and Qui-Gon were giving him concerned looks, as Jix was gesturing wildly for them to hurry up.
“Did you feel something?” Qui-Gon sounded calm enough, but Obi-Wan, who had known him for what seemed like forever, could hear the faint worry in his voice.
“I...” He shook his head. “I don’t know. But I have a feeling that something just went very, very wrong.”
“Father?” Unlike Qui-Gon, Luke was unable to mask his concern. Obi-Wan tried to give him a dry smile, covering his own dread.
“Well,” he said with forced ease, “that does seem likely, doesn’t it?”

Okay, that's it for this time. But maybe - just maybe - you won't have to wait another two years for the next post.

Apparently I am still delusional. I imagined there was an update.
I will have to meditate on this... :-D

Oh dear, Palps really has a survivor instinct that would rival Jix's or maybe even better. One hopes Chosie gets to fulfil his destiny sometime verrry verrry soon. (In other words, Die, Palpy, Die!)
snubfigher after snubfigter - blert! I can't believe I missed that! Sorry!

I can't believe this...
I leave fandom for a few years, and yet one of my absolutely favorite fics is still around. And even possibly being updated.
Now I just have to start way back at the beginning to get into the right state of mind again.
You know, I really missed you guys.
BTW Does anyone know where I can find the good old sheep-sitter icon again?
