    Title: How do I say Goodbye?
    Author: Juliet316
    Characters: Leia Organa Solo
    Time frame: NJO AU
    Summary: How could she find it within herself to say goodbye?
    AU where Luke dies at Mrykr.
    Genre: drabble, AU,
    Notes: Written for a prompt on a comment fic community.


    Everybody was devastated at Master Skywalker's death.

    None more so than Leia.

    They may only have found each other as adults, but they had come to rely on each other over these many years as much as Leia's own twins did. He helped her accept being officially the daughter of Darth Vader and embrace the Jedi legacy of Anakin Skywalker as their own. They had formed a bond like no other through the Force and now that bond had been severed. Forever.

    Leia would never be able to find anything in the Force that would allow her to say goodbye.

    I've written a few SW things before, but it's been a long long time. The prompt that inspired this struck me so much in a "how would Leia handle that?" sense. Thanks for the wonderful feedback. :)

    What a heartbreaking little fic. This is one of those stories that really lends itself to being so short, the emotion is certainly there and I think is more strong being that it doesn't drag it out.

    That last line is killer! =((

    mavjade - Thanks. It was a prompt was for a drabble theme, but I'm not sure if I could have had the emotional compunction to drag it out longer than that, given the subject matter and the people involved.

    Briannakin - thank you. :)
