It's 2020, and I was reminded of coronavirus as I was reading oof. Also this story was really well-written and beautiful! It really played with my emotions, especially when Vader was spending time with his children. The Luke/Vader relationship is my favorite thing about Star Wars. I also really liked your depiction of Leia and how she wasn't completely lacking compassion for Vader as she normally is in other fics. Also, the way you described Luke as a "highly-polished mirror reflecting the light back at Vader" was amazing, I never thought of it that way. This truly is one of the better Star Wars fics I've read in terms of writing and imagery.
Never been a fan of Mara Jade, I always thought it was kinda weird how her and Luke got together, but I was willing to make an exception for THIS FIC ONLY because the writing is so good. Also...I was really hoping Vader wouldn't die. He's my favorite character, and I cried at the end even though it's just a fanfic because I was really investing all of my hope into the possibility that he might not die. When I read his death I fecking killed myself. I mean I was expecting (and hoping for) some Vader whump/Palpatine torturing Vader, but HOLY CRAP I didn't want him to DIE. I was disappointed and crushed when that happened. Other than that, fantastic writing!

Nice job.

i love this fic!

and i love your portrayel of Piett. By far my favourite secondary character, next to Veers

Oh Destiny. Thou art an ironic bitch.
