Reviews for Tempest
RoseEvermore chapter 6 . 11/14/2016
FINN! So excited that he wakes up! BROMANCE! I ship them together forever, but Dara is providing an interesting new plot. Even after Finn wakes up, she is still all he is thinking and talking about since he met her.

GASP!
We continue to see more sides to Dara Varana. I really love how honest Poe is as a person. He really wears his heart on his sleeve. He feels like a true born hero with a bit of spice (LOVE POE). When Poe calls Dara princess, it reminded me of when Han called Leia princess and it gave me the feels!

They're both confused and I love it! Great job 'picking her up,' Poe. ;P
RoseEvermore chapter 3 . 11/14/2016
I like how, from start to finish of this chapter, Dara Varana is more than what she seems. And, at the rate he is going, Poe so gets into sticky situations like this a lot. ;)
RoseEvermore chapter 2 . 11/14/2016
I REALLY like the crude, rough, and unpolished side of Coruscant, especially since the word itself means glittering and sparkling. It is the side that has not made much of an appearance in the films, but is a very prominent aspect of the planet. I like how you captured that aspect.
RoseEvermore chapter 1 . 11/14/2016
I really like how it is clear how much Poe respects his general and how Leia can continue being compassionate, even when having to make hard choices as a general in a constant war. It really brings the characters out further than the film and I am excited to see this character development!

Love this story! Hope it's not ending to soon.

OKAY. No more caps. I have been promised fluff and so that is what I anticipate. okay we have opened with death, not ideal. HERE WE GO. Sorry, no more caps. What I meant to say was, here we go with the victory. Oh you bitch, the sadness. Finnspoe 5eva. I've said it before and I'll say it again. God bless you and your rosy cheeked cuteness Poe. You are a genyaaas. I ship it, I ship it more than everybody on this space ship combined. That is such a fucking star wars ending. Get the girl, kick some ass. Get the guy, kick some ass. Fall in love. Be a princess. Be the best pilot for the resistance. Dara is such a sound Princess. Goodbye Finn and Rae (I ship you).
Dara and Poe are going to go to bed for some private rest. How nice. Lovely and quiet. For some rest. Gentle rest. Look she's locking the door. Good guy Dara, making sure no body disrupts Poe's sleep. She's pushing him up against the door, there was a bee. She was knocking him out of the course of fire. So nice. Then she helped him out of his clothes because it was really warm in the room. Also she's nice so she helps him to get undressed with her magical powers. OH YOU GOT IN THE 'I KNOW YOU LOVE ME' LINE. CLASSIC STAR WARS. Then she politely doesn't point out how he's just a guy with all his clothes off.
Then she kindly gives him enthusiastic permission to eat her out. How polite. Such a nice girl. Good Guy Dara Verana with her itty bitty titties.
Adorable dialogue, adorable Poe Damnaron.
So now onto your fic in it's entirety. First off CONGRATULATIONS. It's the end of the road, you did the art. You did the shit out of the art.
Kaiiro's writing super powers:
Characterisation:
Your Poe Damaron is unstoppable and impeccable, he is true to the fanon supported within the parameters you created. I like the (potentially) ooc qualities you introduced. Poe Damaron as a pansexual polyamorous boy who is just as down for herteromonogamy is refreshing. I adore your careful handling of his family background and your attention to his passion in his work. At no point did I feel as though you let his character fall to the way side just to go on some tangent because you liked how it sounded or to write filler or fluff. When Poe did something it was always in line with the core motivations set out for his characters in canon along with the added complexity of the personal relationships you developed in your fic. Your recurring focus of his respect for women in position of power as rolemodels, as well as people who desirable is borderline revolutionary relative to most of the images presented in media (as you know). I feel like this detail really brings out the themes in feminism in the new Star Wars films and it's really really cool and important. Poe is a well chosen, well written character in this work. He truly is the best pilot in the resistance. Even if he is just a guy, he is also a romantic, a friend, a lothario and so help me God, a feminist :,)
Your OC, Dara Varana. She probably had one of the richest interior lives I've seen in an original character. I feel as though she is defined by her power just as much as she is defined by her vulnerability, in this sense she really is every damn woman. She grieves, she loves, she fears and she BREATHES. She exists because of you and your keyboard, that is some wacky voodoo shit. From her first appearance she is enigmatic and endearing. The scenes of her in the thrown room and with her mother are some of my favourites. It is where she finds her depth from a readers perspective. It's the writers job to take the rounded character who exists in their head and make them live and breath with nothing but a few lines of text. You have that power. God above, Dara doesn't just speak to me she sings. Thankyou for creating her, thankyou for sharing.
Style:
Your balance of description and dialogue is without fault, the flow of the story is as good as any published novel I've read. Its no joke being your own editor, critic and inspiration but here we are. It's a feat you have accomplished while dealing with so much else. Incredible that something which should have taken so much effort became a source of energy. That is true creativity. It flows.
Motivation and Diligence:
How? just how? A full fic in a matter of weeks. Goddamn.
Structure:
This might be your most super power. Characterization is a natural biproduct of creativity, I would almost call it the fun part. The hard part is taking that character and keeping it consistently well expressed without compromising the plot or flow of the story. Your clarity, your coherence. What a success, what a masterful success. You're a writer, you're a bohemian, you're an inspiration.
Thankyou for these weeks.
Write on!
RawMateriel chapter 32 . 5/4/2016
Kylo JERKKKK HAS ARRIVED
HERE COMES A GROWN ASS WOMAN. DARA VORANA IS TAKING NO PRISONERS. TEMPEST BABY. YOU CANNOT RESIST THE RESISTANCE.
YESSSSSSS HE LOOKS LIKE A JERK. IT'S TIME TO PAY THE JERK TAX. HE HAS NOTHING, YOU TAKE IT ALLLL. HE'S GONE DARK AND YOU DON'T NEED THAT SHIT. HE KILLED YOUR FATHER. UGH SO GROSS. OF COURSE HE DIDN'T BECAUSE HE'S A COWARD. (TYPES COWARD AT THE SAME TIME DARA SAYS IT)
HIS JERKY FACE. HE'S THE WORST. SO MANY FEELINGS. NOOOOOOO, HAN SOLOOOOO. HE'S STILL ALIVE. I DEMAND IT. SOMEWHERE. NO YOU DIDN'T ASSHOLE YOU LOVE NO THING YOU ARE A MURDERER. YOU GONE DIE. EXPLODE HIM DARA. EXPLODE HIM WITH YOUR BRAIN. POP. END IT. SHUT THE FUCK UP BEN JERK.
SET YOURSELF ON FIRE! SET YOURSELF ON FIRE! SET YOURSELF ON FIRE! SET YOURSELF ON FIRE! SET YOURSELF ON FIRE!
YEAH RIGHT JERK, NOT APPROPRIATE TO KILL MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN FOR YOUR JERKINESS. SO MUCH CAPS. SO. MANY. FEELINGS.
HE KILLED YOUR DAD, WHAT MORE IS THERE TO KNOW? HE'S OBVIOUSLY A PSYCHOTIC MEGALOMANIAC EVEN IF HE DOES FUCKING 'MEAN WELL'.
THE ROAD TO HELL WAS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS AND THE ROAD TO THE END OF DARA'S LIGHTSABRE IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME.
UGH SHE'S SUCH AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF BADASS I LOVE IT. HOW CAN THERE ONLY BE ONE CHAPTER LEFT?! OH MY GOD YOUR FIRST FULL BEAUTIFUL FANFIC :,) WHAT A FUCKING JOY 3 (ALSO SUCH PAIN, CAN'T BELIEVE HIS JERKLINESS GOT AWAY)
RawMateriel chapter 31 . 5/4/2016

Are you hearing me? oooh duel light saber faaancy.
No body is gonna die this time, I know I say that everytime but THIS TIME I'm saying it out loud so it's extra true.
OH MY GOD THIS IS SUCH GOOD WRITING. YOUR IN FLIGHT DIALOGUE IS SO BELIEVABLE. SUCH SUCCESSFUL REPLICATION OF CANON TONE YAAAAS.
I mean I know well enough to expect nothing less but for people just happening by this fic this must be such an absolute joy.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMETHING HAS GONE EVEN SLIGHTLY WRONG?! NO, NO TURNING OF THE DOG FIGHT, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Oh passing the most dangerous part must be a bad thing, something awful is totally gonna happen I don't like it. Throw back to the totally sweetass scene when Dara freaked out about people knowing about her lineage such a great scene. Meanwhile we see that the fiyah lit by all that gossip when Dara is cutting down shit like butter,
Kylojerk you get the fuck off of my cloud. Now is seriously not the time AAAH NOOO MAN DOWN MAN DOWN MAY DAY MAY DAY
Really though you are gonna have to pull some serious Dalai lama Yoko Lennon orgy shit after all of this pain. I hope Kylo jerks plane just gets hit by some friendly fire and her BURNS INSIDE I'M MAD
RawMateriel chapter 30 . 5/4/2016
Hit it! Another one bites the dust.
I'm ready for a strong chapter. This is going to beautiful. Like Poe's hair. When you said dreadknot my head was still thinking about his hair so I just heard 'massive top knot' and I was like... Yeah you better stop your shaking hands and cut that shit you are a soldier now. Die beautiful and young like a cherry blossom. Wear red like a Spartan boy who refuses to fall and leave someone less able to take his place out of personal preservation.
I love a good family reference. I feel like familial ties are bomb in stories like these. Too many character are all wing and no root. They just float uselessly, meanwhile Kaiiro makes no such oversight. Picking most poignant moment available to remind us that poor Poe is someones son, he's not just a guy.
Time for Dara to Tempest this shit up. She'll tell you Poe, she'll atleast feel it. Yeah guys fall in, no dying if you can. I like that he just tries to come off as all devil may care. Nothing is gonna make pilots feel better than reminding them why they thought that job was so cool in the first place. Take that blue squadron, you guys are gonna blow them outta the water.
GET OUTTA HERE BB8 BIG BOYS DON'T CRY. I love BB8's tiny exposition, just 'BB8 figured it'd all be grand like'
Yeah Poe you watch Dara go out and protect the friend YOU put in harms way out of her unspoken love for you.
Poor Leia, surrounded by the strongest most intimidating people in the galaxy and yet somehow left alone, watching them drop.
Do what you must POOOOOOE -RIPS OFF SHIRT-
RawMateriel chapter 29 . 5/4/2016
OUT OF THE DAWN WHERE THE BULLETS RIP. I am not okay. Organa, such a cool name. Ooooh technical termmms. Very fancy. He left her behind? POE SHE NEEDS YOU. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH A GOOD PILOT? DAMN IT!
FINN IS BAAACK, IT'S OK POE HE'S A SOLDIER. YOU'RE A SOLDIER, THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE. Black leader, another cool name. Much better than blue leader fuck that guy.
You gotta live with this shit Poe. I think it's funny that Poe is only unoptimistic in this one context. It's like, he can't even pretend that in the best case scenario they are all gonna survive. No magic shit.
DARAAAAAAAA -TEARS OPEN SHIRT- uhoh. This chapter is so chapter, I am too invested for this. Oh my God he totally just called it a suicide mission, shit. Oh shit she just insinuated this might not be a suicide mission. YOU DID THIS POE. YOU DID THIS. Ah well they're the most likely to survive. Well they're about to find out what it's like to deal with the after math of battle or you know. Or you know they're gonna die. Who is to say
RawMateriel chapter 28 . 5/4/2016
YAAAAAAAAS. I love take charge Dara, it suits her. Yeah you go over there Poe, make way for this weirdly (and awesomely) matriarchal society. Also lol at Poe's size complex.
Take'em down Dara, show'em who's boss. Reach in to the blazing beacon of weakness that is her brain. Surely you know Dara? you saw into her brain whether or not she cares. I can't wait to see what she saw in that woman's head. Who the fuck disagrees with this shit? what? is the other half of the room for capital punishment?
What did you SEEEE? -asking for you Poe- ok now we know. Who gives a shit Dara? it's all good. You are the princess and you are not evil. you can take all those dicks down and you will. You are in chawge. Who cares who turns against you, you can take more acid. WOW POE NOT THE TIME FOR YOU TO GO ALL LEAVESIES NOW! HAVEN'T YOU SEEN POCAHONTAS? HER PEOPLE NEED HER DAMNIT. IF SHE IS GONNA GO WITH YOU SHE IS GONNA NEED ONE SERIOUS ENVOY TO TAKE HER PLACE AND IT'S NOT JUST GONNA BE LIKE THAT TIME WHERE SHE GET'S REPLACED BY KEIRA KNIGHTLEY BECAUSE SHE HAS ONE DISTINCTIVE ASS LOOKING SCAR ALL OVER HER HEAD. NOT SAYIN', JUST SAYIN'
RawMateriel chapter 27 . 5/4/2016
I'm ready. Poe is such a positive morning person. He just reverts to his little boy self and then goes all murdery. SIGH, so butch. Shut up BB8, big boys don't cry.
Poor Dara, her hair all fucked up. Her eyes all hazel and watery. -sobs openly- Good thanking Dara. Good earning thanks Poe.
You can do it Dara, your battle scars will spook her enemies anyway. She has the right face for a warrior queen. A face that says 'Chemical warfare? oh please, been there, done that.'
Poe and his innate respectfulness for the general, fuheva. He has to go be the best pilot and she needs to go be duh Princess. Can't they be together.
Ooooh she's going to see the scurry person. Still though, it's 100% the only thing to do. Got to go psychic on the psycho. Can't wait to see where this is going. to the next chaptaaaaaaah
RawMateriel chapter 26 . 5/4/2016
NO NO NON ON ON O NO NONONONONO NONONONONOOOOOOON NO NO NO NON ONONONONO NONONONONONONONONONON IMSO SCURRED. I don't want this guy to be confronted.I hate him. He's scurry.
OK I do want him to be confronted but like hes such a jerk. They should blast him off into space. In fairness Poe did kind of just watch it happen. I mean he didn't even shout out. Good pilot bad shouter, I guess maybe he thought he would distract her and make it worse.
Darkness breeds Darkness Poe you thick. You girlfriend is Kylo Jerks sister. OOOOH I like that womans sass it's real graphic good psycho talk.
Dara is gonna be fine and she's gonna get cool dreadlocks and a neck tattoo of a skunk that has a speech bubble that says fuck everyone and shell become ein punk rockstar and no one will get hurt, she will bemelted but she will work it. I mean that woman was a real jerk, Why acid? Why not just shoot her, baffling,
you owe me a happy ending Kaiiro, I love scissors.
