Ack! Evil cliffie!!!

Fantastic update, furry! applause This fic just keeps getting better and better. I'm totally addicted!

I love how you write Luke. Just wonderful this characterization of him in this highly creative AU. Love it! I'm wondering about Mara, if she'll be lured to the light side while Palpatine is doing his best to lure Luke to the dark.

Bravo, my dear! applause applause

Hoo, boy. You are NOT kidding with this story. How raw and ... man, I can't even begin to think of words to describe this update. I feel like I'm watching a movie that started in color and now that color is slowly leeching out into shades of rusty brown. Will that continue into black and white? worried

Wonderful, wonderful update! applause

(And the cover art is lovely.)

Wow...

THis is starting to echo absolutely creepifyingly of the prequel trilogy and I love the subtle tapestry of manipulations going on so far. I liked Mara's vision and the rationalization of it being a textbook success.

Poor Luke. worried He does not understand what is going on. Palpatine has just about totally removed everyone, but himself, that Luke could possibly turn to for guideness and compassion. Beginning to brainwash the child he is. skull Mara is really feeling like a forgotten child all of a sudden. I bet she will be abit jeleous of Luke once she finds out that he has taken her place as Palpatine's pet project. Surprized me that Bail Organa's daughter was the young lady Luke debated against. Think I need to go back as remember where Leia is living. Wonderful post and can not wait for the next one! Thanks. rose

Here's the part that really got to me:

Vaguely, he realized his face was buried in the Emperor’s waist, his hands were clutching the Emperor’s robes, the Emperor’s hand was stroking his hair. It was a foreign experience to him; Mother had never been demonstrative that way.

It was an experience he had longed for his entire life.

To be hugged.


To be given the one thing you have always wanted, and recieve it from the one person who can use it to cause the most damage... oy vey. I hope Luke can find his way back before he goes to far down that road.

Vaguely, he realized his face was buried in the Emperor’s waist, his hands were clutching the
Emperor’s robes, the Emperor’s hand was stroking his hair. It was a foreign experience to him; Mother had never been demonstrative that way.

It was an experience he had longed for his entire life.

To be hugged.

“She never…” he choked in voice ravaged by unshed tears. “I never…”

“Hush, hush. I am here, Luke. I see your worth. I will never let you down. Shh…”

Follow your destiny, and your heart will never break again.

He did not know if it was the palace or Palpatine who whispered into his ear.

He did not care.

In the horrible emptiness of his grief, Luke heard and believed utterly.



Absolutely horrible place to end, you evil author, poor Luke being manipulated by Palpatine and sad that the one place he got love is from one so wicked sad

"It¡¯s perfume. Senator Griselr doused my jacket with it on the sly. But it's okay?" His voice turned anxious. "Not too girly?

Nah, not at all. *silently snickers at sissy boy the perfume wearer*


"Looooove, is in zee air...Garmonsaw has girly perfume in his hair..."

LOL! Did he have a really deep voice when he sang that?


"Somebody who hates your guts."
Inexplicably, a pair of green eyes flashed in Luke's mind.


Uh-huh, I think I know who that's going to be. wink


Vichae Organa, his opposition in the debate finals.

shock I knew, but I didn't know all at the same time! Sneaky, furry, very sneaky. applause


"No. But I-I knew your-your aunt very well."

Dumbstruck Senator Organa? LOL!! He knew his mother quite well too. wink


Why? Why not tell Twansa the truth? Why keep up the games?

Because she can cause far more problems with the truth than with lies, though I'm sure Melgida knew already.


"Hush, hush. I am here, Luke. I see your worth. I will never let you down. Shh..."

Palpy? shock Comforting Luke? shock Twisted. grin


In the horrible emptiness of his grief, Luke heard and believed utterly.

I knew he would. devil I have foreseen it. skull



Marvelous! Luke plunges ever further toward the end that awaits him and the rebirth that awaits the Emperor! devil

Wow! That was kinda creepy to imagine the Emporer hugging anyone! Sigh, so it begins. I loved that bit about Luke's friend getting ready to meet "his girl." lol happy Anyway, thanks for the post..enjoyed it greatly. I would like to add another "prediction" if I may....Vader WILL be in the next post. happy

Intriguing as ever. happy

I sort of expected this to happen, since Luke confessed he wanted his "mother" to love him. Which was tragic in itself, considering she wasn't really his mother but an aunt who disliked him. So of course his desire to gain her love was a weakness ...

Is Luke going to be Dark in this story? wink
