My goodness, this was wonderful. Somehow, you managed to create a drastic AU without needing pages of explanation, and everyone felt almost like themselves in spite of how different their circumstances were. I can't wait to see where this goes. XD

Thanks! My goal was to say a lot in just a few paragraphs, so I'm glad to see it worked. And I'm always happy to hear that my AU versions of the canon characters stay true to their personalities. :D

I felt like I'd fallen down the rabbit hole for a moment...wonderful AU story with the Skywalker/Vader family!

[viariskywalker]

Well that's good, right? ;) Glad you're enjoying it!

This was great. I loved the fact that they were still themselves and yet AU enough to be believable as Sith. I especilly liked the dream sequence with Mara killing him so many ways.

Wonderful.

Thank you! I try to keep their characters as true as possible, but they still have to be dark. I'm glad you find them believable. :) And I loved writing that dream. :D It was a wonderful kind of freaky.

I just adore this, Vi. It's one of the most fascinating AUs I've seen in a long time, and the characterization is marvelous. I can't wait to see where it goes. :D

As always, you're too kind. ;) It makes me feel so good to know you took the time to reply here when you've already replied in the betas and on the JC. *hugs* I promise I'll get those next chapters to you soon!
