    I want that holomovie set. [face_rofl]

    That last gift was lovely. I wish I could have Mara's attitude when it comes to relinquishing control of that. :p

    Just finished reading. This was a wonderful tale!

    I liked that you included one of the original song's gifts (sort of) in the five Xiangke rings -- would love to see more about that system if you're ever in the mood to write it. Sounds fascinating! :)

    Liked the real books and Luke's reminiscing about Beru.




    Beautiful tribute to Beru's loving care for him over the years.






    [face_laugh] I'm sure he did.

    The piloting lesson with Jaina was cute, and it made sense that she had noticed Luke was happier now. I like how this precedes the mentorship in the books and shows the beginnings of a bond between Jaina and her aunt.





    I agree with everyone who liked this section. Luke does know how to find the perfect gift. :p

    Nice to see Lando and Tendra in the party scene.



    Liked the final gifts (including the shiny black boots -- got to give him something in his favorite clothing color, after all ;)) and the corny movies. Oh boy. I bet Callista and Akanah are in them. That should be ... umm. Entertaining. Not to mention seeing what dress they put Mara in for the movie-wedding ("minimal is maximal.") [face_laugh]

    An amazing story. This has been such a wonderful story to read. Thank you!

    I love, love the ending. The gift of a child. You can't get better than that.

    Very good story. but I couldn't stop grinning as I read the titles of the "holodramas". cool that you used some EU books in the story. though which EU books were "Luke Skywalker and the Witches of Dathomir and Luke Skywalker and the Ancient Fear" based off of?

    Because I know the title "The Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight" was based of the book that came out this past october. Shadows of Mindor was obviously based of the book of the same name (which i haven't read yet which i should.)

    I think Love's Union was based of the comic "Union" where Luke and Mara get married.

    Thanks!


    Thank you!


    It must be really weird to watch a holodrama based on your life - but pretty hilarious!


    Thank you!


    They both know what the other likes ;) Thanks for all of the encouragement and help, I couldn't have done it without you! [:D] This started out as meaningless fun and turned into an exploration of Luke and Mara's early marriage :p


    So do I, on both counts! :p


    Thanks!


    :D I couldn't help myself!


    [face_laugh][face_laugh] Indeed!

    It's me being very lazy, basically stealing from the Chinese philosophy and five elements and applying it to a star system - but I would like to explore that concept more in the future, if I can find a way to do it.

    Thanks! I love Beru.

    I think mentoring Jaina was very important to both of them, and wanted to include a little glimpse of the beginning here.



    I agree with everyone who liked this section. Luke does know how to find the perfect gift. :p

    Nice to see Lando and Tendra in the party scene.[/quote]

    I love Lando and Tendra, I wish there was more fic with them!


    [face_laugh] I bet it was even crazier!


    Thank you! I think that would be one of the big things for Mara to overcome, but once she's made up her mind, she realises that it is what she wants after all.


    Thanks - you're right! The Witches of Dathomir is based on The Courtship of Princess Leia and The Ancient Fear is a nod to the rumored Ep VII name and the Jedi Academy triloy (since it seemed a suitably dramatic way to refer to Exar Kun)




    A/N: For those who are interested, I have posted "bonus" material with strong NC-17 content on A03 for Days 4, 7, 8 and 10.
