The plot thickens. o.O

(I have to admit, I'm suspicious of Leia's motives ...

[viariskywalker]

Yah, she doesn't seem like the type to offer help without some ulterior motive, does she? ;)

This continues to be a fascinating story! I loved the conversation with Palpatine.
I think it's good Luke has his 'other' surname here, and I'm curious how Leia retained hers - Organa.

[viariskywalker]

:D Thank you! As for the surnames... well, you'll just have to keep reading. ;)

This is really great. I loved that Luke's name is different but Leia's is the same. Plus what the heck is Palpatine playing at?

Wonderful.

[viariskywalker]

Glad you're enjoying it! Hmm, what does Palpatine has up his sleeve?

Just to reiterate: I love Luke and Leia's interaction. :D And Luke has some gall. :p

[viariskywalker]

You know I love writing Luke and Leia in this twisted relationship. I love writing Luke in this story, period. He's so fun in his dark way. :D

"I'm not afraid," he insisted steadily.

She looked up at him, and this time there was something almost sad in her expression. "You will be."

LOVE this exchange, a perfect throwback to the OT. Just caught up with the first two chapters, and I'm really enjoying this AU tale. You've set up quite the compelling scenario and I really look forward to upcoming chapters. :)

Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far! I have really enjoyed writing the scenes between Luke and Leia. And it's always fun to twist around the dialogue from the movies. :D
