[fic] The Choices We Make (1/1, PG, Star Wars)

[rynne]

So, I am back at college. There will be a personal post later, especially since I saw Goblet of Fire yesterday and want to say a few things about it, but first, here's some fic. It's Star Wars, but I promise you there will be HP fic soon. (And possibly Princess Bride, His Dark Materials, and The Last Unicorn. :p)

Title: The Choices We Make

I'm really sorry but I was just off to bed and don't have time to read a fic at the moment, but if you respond to this comment I'll def read it later ^_^

What I wanted to say was that if you write Princess Bride and His Dark Materials fic, I will love you ENDLESSLY.

[rynne]

Hee. I've totally got Princess Bride and His Dark Materials ideas, and I think I will manage to write them. It'll have to wait until I get back home in three weeks so I can look at the canon, but yes. I think there will be fic. :)

Wow that was intence. I'm only sorry there will not be more. I'd love to know how this would turn out. Still I like the subtlity of Vader's compassion and it was heartbreaking to read of Leia's death ;.; Beautifully done all the same!

[rynne]

I'm glad you liked it! And no, there won't be more, but you're perfectly welcome to think of your own ending, happy or not. :)

[betareject]

Oh dear now you're tempting me *tries to silence muse and plotbunnies*

[dolevalan]

That was absolutely chilling, but so plausible. Lovely, lovely work.

[rynne]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, and that you thought it was plausible. :)

[darkenedminds]

Wow. This is certainly chilling. Are you planning to continue?

[rynne]

No, no continuing, as I said it my author's notes. I want that to be the ending so that everyone is free to imagine whatever they want, be it happy or sad. But thanks for the feedback! :)

Read that on the Luke-Vader list already, an was very much in love. I've always disliked Ben's eclectic approach to the truth in the films, but this really made me reconsider. I'm not *entirely* sure Luke (why was I just typing 'Lucius'?) would take the impending destruction of Yavin quite so quietly, but his interaction with Vader was superb, and so very much in character.

The ending... oh, I love the open questions of it. It's exactly what Palpatine would do, and there hasn't been enough time for both Luke and Vader to process and get used to the idea of being father and son (and the offer of 'overthrowing the Emperor and ruling together hasn't been made yet) to leave it *totally* open in all direction.

Faulty choice indeed, Luke... poor thing!

Exactly what I wanted to do! I mean, I'm not exactly happy with it myself, and I think "a certain point of view" is a really weak defense, but once I got this idea, I could totally see where Ben was coming from.

I'm not *entirely* sure Luke (why was I just typing 'Lucius'?) would take the impending destruction of Yavin quite so quietly

Hmmm...guess I should have had him protest a bit more, but what I was trying to portray is that Luke doesn't think he can do anything about it, especially since there aren't any Rebels pointing him to an X-wing or anything, so he's a bit more passive. I don't think of him as passive, but he's had several shocks, and his nap brought him off his adrenaline high, and I guess he's just sort of numb at that point. Maybe I should have explained that better. *ponders*

But I'm glad you liked it! :D I had fun writing it, even if I did torture poor Luke...
