Wow! I really enjoyed this story. I have heard of the Constantine comics and such, but have never read them, so I am very glad you went with the movie version. Angels have always fascinated me, and I loved how you depicted one of the oldest as some sort of more reptiallian than human creation. Good to know we have an advocate though...heh. Marvelous work!
Wow! I loved this, the emotion was so palpital and tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. His fear...wow...you really captured his fear...fear of change, of the unknown... Excellent piece! ~Aeryn
Author's Response: Thanks :o) I'm honestly surprised at how well this turned out myself.
Very interesting piece, and I'm rather intregued to see more. I've got a good sense of what Harry and Rogue are thinking, but curious to see more of the other characters' thoughts. ~Aeryn
Excellent piece! I liked your original character, and how you explored Vader's emotions and the fact that he still has twinges every now and then. And yeah for Luke seeing a bit of what went on with Padme! And her dying words repeating and coming full circle with Luke and Vader. Kudos, and look forward to more of your work. ~Aeryn
Author's Response: Wow, I am very flattered, thank you so much! :D Am very pleased you liked!
This was a wonderful story. I like that finally someone is writing about Padme too...but hey that's me. Actually, what got me here was the imagry and the sheer emotional whallop. There is also a tragic element to it (especially at the end) as we all know what is going to happen to this pair of star-crossed lovers. Also this bit when he comes back to her, reminded me of a scene in Clone Wars, when he returns home after being made a full fledged knight, as they just hold each other and disappear back into their rooms. Though I agree also with her that (and you showed this) in many ways Anakin had grown up and hardened...I do have to say in many ways he did not. But that is neither here nor there when dealing with your story. Again, Kudos to you on such a well-written piece. ~Aeryn (of aerynfire)
Excellent piece detailing Padme's own personal struggles to be herself when frankly her life is so devoted to others. Great insights into the character. Very enjoyable. ~Aeryn
Wow...this was a wonderful piece. The emotion was palpitable, and the character's need to do the right thing and the sadness or Bail and Leia was perfectly expressed. I really enjoyed this (and admit to getting a bit sniffly...). ~Aeryn
Very nice! I liked the ship here...and it was well and tastefully done. I loved the parallels of their lives...neither having anything of their own or allowed to form attachments. Yet, they still found comfort in each other...and even after his death, he still reached out to her. I read somewhere that the secret to Qui Gon achieving his 'eternal life' in the Force was ultimate love and compassion...and that gesture embodied all that. Again, excellent piece. I truely enjoy your Star Wars work. ~Aeryn
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review!! I'm very glad you enjoyed it. The parallels in their lives really struck me when I started writing this, and it definitely helped mold the story. Thank you again!
This was a nice little portrayl of a young Qui-Gon. Already questioning I see! I can also see Mace already being a bit of a prat at this young age as well...and your Dooku was also very keeping in canon and intreguing. After all, he wasn't always evil/dark. :D Kudos, excellent job. ~Aeryn (of aerynfire)
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the character's portrayals, especially Dooku, who seemed to have once been the favored child as it were.
Awww!!! So cute! *ruffles little scruffy Han's head* Very sweet little story. ~Aeryn
Author's Response: Hee, thank you! :D
Wonderful chapter! *claps* But darn, now I want more! The tension is killing me...and I really can't stand Sera. One little thing, this chapter is labeled in the list as Prologue and not Chapter Five...you may want to fix that. :D I eagerly await the next installment. ~Aeryn
*dies laughing* Oh dear lord, CareCrystal...that's bloody brilliant! *wipes tears from eyes* I could actually see Stephen Colbert doing that too! The insane look as he pumps lead into him... *cracks up again* Thanks so much for the laugh! ~Aeryn
Author's Response: You're welcome! I see that you, too, are one of Colbert's "heroes"! Though the word is getting out about him, I know there's plenty of people who have no idea who he is. I imagine any day now I'll get a review or e-mail from someone who read this story and isn't in on the joke. . . Thanks for your review!!
Right, been meaning to review this but haven't had a free second. First let me say I loved this piece. I know it is set in the SW universe, but the emotions and feel show it could have been set anywhere and it wouldn't have mattered. You even had me sniffly at the end! A lovely series of moments that showed the bond between mother and son and the pain of that cut suddenly. Excellent piece! ~Aeryn (of aerynfire)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review, Aeryn. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I appreciate that you took the time to read and review it.
Very nice! I must admit I hoped there'd be a scene like this in the film (wouldn't quite work as well in the graphic novel...well, for me). I like the end twist too...I totally wasn't expecting that (Bad me picturing Hugo Weaving! Bad!). Excellent story. ~Aeryn (of aerynfire)
