Beyond - Legends Saga - Legends Ἀνάγκη – Necessity beyond Sway | Thrawn, OC, drama/tragedy, pre-ANH to TTT | Epic, e-book available

Yet again, Thrawn is constantly being tested and found wanting. Glad he had the mission.

 

Thrawn is hardly the only one 'endangering' someone here. Ayesha is too with all the demands she presses on Thrawn. She will likely be why they fall apart but it's always Thrawn that takes the blame.

 

I don't really see him doing that or her responding well to it. She needs to start being considerate of him on HIS terms.

 

It's not healthy. She is going to cause them major problems if she doesn't get a clue and the way this has been Thrawn will be blamed he always is. It's not right.

 

They are both very, very wrong; each in their own way; and, at this point, I can't sympathise with either. A quarter of population has "issues" and, at their age, they both need to be sincere within first and only then seek another person's comfort. This is bound to be exploitation either way around.

Four words: relationships do not redeem.

Seven words: relationships do not contribute to own stability.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person on the right track here, but it could also be my perception. XD

 

I don't agree with either of those top claims. They can but BOTH parties have to be willing to work on the relationship and put the other first which Ayesha continues to staunchly refuse doing. I fully expect them to crash and burn now. I HAD hoped she'd come to her senses but alas.

 

Ewok: we'll see.

I'm still waiting for the great big happy end with five kids, but I'm a hopeless case...

 

He doesn't deny his skeletons, she's the one doing that and you're right Thrawn IS doing all he can to tend her and he keeps getting slapped down for it. He's gonna either break or leave if he has any sense at all. This can't hold.

 

Err... Gals, as much as I love having a big discussion on my fic thread, are you sure you're still talking about what I wrote and not about your personal issues? Because I'm finding it increasingly difficult to relate some of the comments here to chapters of this story or even to the whole of it.

 

I relate to everything through personal lens, Chyn. I don't operate by two standards as some seem to. Yes, I am speaking directly to your handling of the characters and story.

 

Haha, sorry.

Just shows that your character descriptions are very realistic...
all right, less OT.

 

Loving your on-point reviews Findswoman - and your optimistic ones Csillan_girl.

Yes, these characters are realistic, resonate strongly, and tug at heartstrings and push buttons. Goes to how well written they are. But, like Chyntuck I have to say this is not group therapy.

 

I'm not sure who the "some" you are referring to are supposed to be but I'd rather you refrain from this sort of comment that borders on the insulting in my story thread. Thank you.

 

I am sorry. I remove my stupid post and, if you want me to, I shall get out of this thread. I keep on forgetting that these two people are not real and that this is fiction.

 

There was no need I just think we should keep the thread on topic, you know, and we were taking off on a pretty wide tangent there.

 

I'm sorry you took it that way, Chyn. It wasn't intended. I'm out.

 

I agree fully with Nyota's Heart. What makes this story so exciting for me are the two main characters and the way that they act as a couple.

 

Wow! What a great chapter! I aspire to write my characters with the depth that you do. One thing that struck me about this chapter was Ayesha's comment that she understood that Thrawn's work was part of him but she needed time to get used to including that into her personal notion of him. They may fight, but they communicate well. I actually think it bodes well for them being able to weather whatever the Emperor has up his sadistic sleeve.

Great job! I am eagerly awaiting part two!

 

Oh no! This is unbearably traumatic for her, and the invitation seems one that cannot be avoided, especially with Palps specifically mentioning her as one who would be expected. Poor girl!

She's gone deep this time. Thrawn made the right choice to call home for help. They knew how to take care of her before; maybe they can help her again.

On the positive side, I love the idea that they would be "lifemates." Such a sweet concept. Thrawn and Ayesha are grown ups, they know where the door is and they could leave each other at any time, but they are trying so hard to understand and support each other. "Lifemate" reflects that commitment on both sides. I especially like that it is Thrawn who applies the concept to their relationship.

PS - your writing is so good that I can't tell canon from original. I actually tried to look up one of your characters on the Wook.
