Beyond - Legends "A Strange Thing" Post NJO, one-shot. Edited.

That was so moving with the emotional bonds and unspoken sadnesses that I felt a distinct prickling behind my eyes and I don?t cry at that much in fiction.

I was pointed to this thread by the wonderful Jedi_Jaina_Durron and was promised that I would love this fic.

All I can say is "Yes." I don't even know what else to say--yes, I loved it; yes, it is briliant; yes, it is sad; yes, it is deep. But any words of praise I can offer to you only partly express the appreciation I have for this post.

Just take the biggest compliment you can ever imagine getting and realize that I am giving it to you right now.

Just, yes.

 

*hand slaps over her mouth* Oh dear Force, you killed Shada. How could you? She... she.. never did anything to you...

It was very emotional and I actually had tears in my eyes. And then at the very end you say that you're not satisfied with this fic...

*rolls eyes* What am I going to do with you?

 

wow..............that's really all i can say. WOW!!

and i mean that in the best way possible

 

Okay!!!!! That's it young lady, I've had it with you!!!!! What?!?!?! Do you ENJOY making me cry??????
Not that I don't take a perverse pleasure in it but..........









Wow!






And let me say again, WOW !!!!!!!!!







Sob........ I had to go back -sniff- -sob- and re-read this one............ you are soooooooooooooooooo amazing!



Girl, if you are not satisfied with this one, can you please let me go buy the supersized box of tissues and renew the prescription on the anti-depressants before I read the one you ARE satisfied with? You are so amazing!
Why aren't you plastered all over the Archives??????

Thank you everyone for your kind posts! I seriously cannot believe how much everyone likes this. I am completely blown away. Thank you so much for your support!

Hopefully I'll be able to get real replies up in a bit, too. Until then...

First of all, may I say how glad I am that this is not how it ended in the NJO? [face_shocked] Wow. Thank goodness for AU letting people explore possibilites though.

Despite my hopes that this never happens in the EU, this is a very well written fic. It kept at a distance watching the characters, yet it didn't spare any pain. And the understanding without words was brilliant.

It was hard enough to put my amazement into even that many words, so I shall stop there.

 

You too!


Up there with the rest of your kin!!!!



UP I say UP!!!!!

It is MY turn to thank Rowan Jade for suggesting I read this -- I started to last week, but Darth Pathobiology interrupted me and tonight I've been frantically reading ALL of Saber's fics...

Well, Saber, I simply loved it. I suppose that it is always the author who is not completely happy with something because I certainly found nothing to complain about!

I'm not going to pick out the parts I liked best because I'm fairly certain I liked the whole bloody thing!

Again, I say, Bravo!

*jaw drops in amazement*

That was so powerful, Saber! Amazing... wonderful... too moving for tears or words. *shakes head* You've done it again.

 

Y'know, most authors aren't pleased with their work when they put it out. It never feels finished, and you hate ending it because you don't want to feel you've given a half-hearted effort at it.

I feel like that with nearly each and every one of my stories.

*is stunned into speechlessness*

Saber...wow. Quite seriously, *wow*. As someone said before, it didn't make me cry because it was too deep to cry. Absolutely incredible, Saber.

And Happy (very belated) Birthday.

It was heart breaking, but the most moving story I have ever read. I was actually crying when you finished. It was really remarkable

 

Oh wow, that made me cry.

That was simply amazing. Wow, there's so much emotion you managed to put into that.

Beautifully done.

 

My traditional 'prettyful' just doesn't sum it up.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Beautiful, sad, poignant. Very deep. Excellent job.

 

I'm shocked.

I want to write like that.

How'd you do that?

Mind if I copy this to my computer to study?

(20 isn't old. One of my best friends is 23, & I've had a friend die at 17. Thank you.)

Oh, yeah? I'm sick, aren't I??

Keep writing!

 

I love you all for replying!

I edited it a bit today. Mainly fixed some typos, a little sentence structure.

Hi!

I remember reading that one before, I think it was recommended to me by a friend.

Anyways, great work, you made me cry and feel the tension and the emotions and the desperation and ... Wow.

*runs off to check for other stories*

This is chilling but like everyone else I enjoyed reading it.

I am also glad the NJO didn't end this way.

Great job!

Oh, wow. Wow. This is gorgeous. I can't even find words to describe it.

 

Jacen fearing for Tahiri?What happened to TK?

 

Wow, that was amazingly written.

 

I'm upping this in honor of it being one of the best vignettes I've ever read, and to point out that probably no other 'fic has received such an overwhelming percentage of responses that include the word "wow" or that are almost entirely comprised of said interjection.

 

So I asked everyone on my thread to tell me what Jacen/Tahiri or Jahiri as I now call them, fic they had read because there simply aren't enough. Rodi jsut posted that this was the one that got him into Jahiri and I was so excited that I was going to get to read a new one. I raced over and for a half second was disappointed becuase I have read this a dozen times, but then I sarted reading again and was as captivated as the first time I found it.

This is so beautiful and depressing at the same time, and so beuatifully understated and yet at the same time rich and layered.

I could gush for a while...but I'd become redundant.

I must say I was surprised to scroll through and see I hadn't praised you and this work before.
