I didn't notice this the first time I read this fic, but, what's with the names? Tomas? it's Firmus Piett. Sache, who's Sache? Bail married Queen Breha Organa. He wasn't even the inheriting ruler, she was.

I know this is old but something that REALLY bugs me is that Padmé is spoken about as if she is twice Ani’s age. She is 4-5 years older than him. In contrast Han is almost 30 and Leia is 18.

Man, I would never come across this story if it wasn’t for the "Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal" trope…

This is an old tale but I fully accept it as headcanon. It never made sense that Vader would remain in that suit nor did it make sense that in that future there was no option to heal him completely. I look forward to a continuation but will enjoy what is here. Excellent job!

Screams of pain are not conscious options. Once I was having a sinus irrigation for a severe infection and heard someone screaming. It actually took me several seconds to realize the screams were coming from me! So, saying Anakin didn’t scream because it would be pointless, well, doesn’t make sense to me, the pain alone would have triggered the same involuntary response in him that I experienced.

No, don't die on me

Oh, it's been sixteen years since you've updated, but I think about this story quite often and occasionally check in to see if you might take pity on us. In all likelihood, you've moved on, but your story is so well written and gorgeous that I had to let you know again. Cheers to you, wherever you are!

It's been years, yet I keep returning to this fic time and time again. One of the all-time all-fandom favourites. Always top-notch wonderful.

Wow! This was one of the best redemption arcs I’ve read—I love how you didn’t “separate” Anakin and Vader into two different people (as it is more often than not the case in redemption arcs), but simply made him accept he is both and answer to both, despite turning back to the light. It was refreshing to read and to me made so much more sense for his character :)

I’m devastated it’s not finished yet—I’m practically dying for more!—but I’m glad that we at least got to see all of the reunions before you stopped updating. If you ever decide to come back to this, however small and unlikely the chance, you definitely have a reader in me :)

It was good and I wish there was more chapters to this book

I must say, the depiction of the Admirals and their reactions are hilarious, if not downright comedic. This is a good narrative, and I enjoy the somewhat unrealistic, yet confounded version of Darth Vader which you have chosen to portray.

It’s a great story

Please fix chapter 26. I cant read it at all...

Hehe! Anakin's mind shows Luke's mind. Because that's what Luke said about Jabba's arrogance in the film when he wanted to throw Sharlack.

Why is it that in both novels and reality, swearing is the sexual preferences of any ancestor and individual, or in the case of fantasies, body parts or garments (see the swearing of Harry Potter or those in the Hobbit-Lotr. But that is nothing is in the Wheel of Time series).
