Like someone said before, you created such an intense atmosphere of intimacy and vulnerability that goes beyond everything else I've read so far. So very moving. I can't even quote the parts I liked best because there were so many.
Thank you so much. I just... I really do absolutely adore the characters. I'm fascinated by them, by the twisty relationship (and potential) between them.
How I wish everything is going to work out for them. One the one hand I have a little bit of hope because of Anakin's newfound Force connection and the positive impact Obi-Wan's decision has on him. He is so gentle and at peace that he almost seems to be a different person. On the other hand I fear the consequences because Obi-Wan seems so sure that he will pay for his choice. And not to forget Luke who has a bad feeling as well. Argh, don't make them suffer. ;)
It may comfort you to know that I want them to be happy, too.
Then there are still so many things they don't know about this future. I wonder if Luke is ever going to reveal that Anakin killed Obi-Wan. On the other hand I doubt that this knowledge will have so much impact on them (especially after that night) because they both distance themselves so much from their future selves. But do they know that Anakin redeems himself even in this future by killing the emperor and rescuing Luke?
Sorry, this got a bit out of hand. It's just so easy to get lost in your AU. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful piece.
You're welcome. And thank you, Mim, for this lovely, in-depth response. It's thrilling to get this kind of feedback.
