Awesome, as always. I like how Luke had a different last name in here; that was an interesting twist.

Thank you, Carr! As far as the name, I always wondered why Luke had been raised as a Skywalker. It's great as a symbolic thing, but surely on a practical level, it would have been far less dangerous to be raised as a Lars. It works better for this AU, anyway. :p

Oh, such a nice AU. Even if you know that they are both working for the bad guys, they're both so happy it's hard to be sad about it.

They are definitely happy here. It's interesting to explore how they might have been if they'd met so young, and under far different circumstances than in canon. Thank you; I'm glad you liked it!

I thought this was lovely. It was sweet that they were in love but they're on the wrong side. ::cries:: He's probably going to kill his sister when the Death Star blows up Alderaan. I have to wonder what he'll think when the planet does blow up. Will he remain an Imperial?

Great job.

There are lots of interesting possibilities with this one, aren't there? It's a pretty fascinating little plot bunny. Thank you very much, Diane! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Ooo... I love it!

Tell me there's more! Plleeeease!

gabri_jade June 8 2008, 10:11:46 UTC

Not yet. :p I am giving serious thought to making a longer story out of it if the plot bunny cooperates, though. We'll see. Thank you! I'm flattered you'd read more of it. :)
