Another good job! Summarizing all that Anakin/Vader is and even the always keen insight he had about Leia's character.

I just read this story and the proceeding piece. I must say, well done. I think you captured the thoughts Anakin quite well. Even though this was short, it captured my imagination.

It's a beautiful pair of fics, really. Deep, insightful, moving... and most impressive in the way your interpretation of Anakin's fall years ago fits that of George Lucas in the end.

Beautiful is definitely the word that describes these two fics the best in my mind... Bravo.

Oh...THAT was SO cool. Wow. Incredible insights on Vader, and described so beautifully too! (The Cinderella reference was a great touch, incidentally.) It really seems like you got inside Vader/Anakin's head, and it makes quite a lot of sense. Very perceptive, and really perfect! The ending was excellent; he knows he's choosing the Darkness and does so of his own free will...it's just cool. Seeing this slice of life through Vader/Anakin's eyes was awesome, and the story was awesomely done. Incredible piece!

again, just really insightful and clever. *claps*

*me bows*

Very interesting take on Vader's thoughts and actions. I loved reading both this one the one previous to this. Will you be making a sequel to this as well? I hope so. This could turn out to be a longer story. Or at least I hope another sequel comes out, maybe with Leia's POV right after her dance with Anakin/Vader?

Bittersweet and lovely!

Another excellent work!

i like it very much. very heartfelt.

*stares at author in awed silence* okay, you are definitely going on my favortite author list (you're on Serpentina's, so I decided to check your fics out) all I can say is, ohmigosh, and I really don't read Star Wars ficcys (although I loved the three originals...the acting in the first one just SUCKED to hell...)

beautifully written. thank you so much for making my time worthwhile.

Great epiloge...write another...please please please...

I want you to know that I truly enjoyed this story and its predecessor, "Heads We're Dancing." I would like to archive them on my website. This was the only way I could reach you, and I hope it does. Please let me know if you receive this and whether I can archive them or not. The website, if you would like to look, is jediclarus

Oh, I *LOVED* this. The song's lyrics are appropriate, and the whole dark, brooding thoughts of Vader- loved it all. In its own way, much better than its prequel. One of your better works. :)

beautiful :)

I read the earlier version (before you took it down); this one is certainly more interesting. Good work on both, but I have to say this one is my favorite because it doesn't assume that he is figuring things out (whereas many stories in which Vader and Leia encounter each other they feel like they're, err, dancing around a shadowed truth).
