Great story.
I have only recently delved into SWtoR, and it has been a delight to read such a great arc of the SW. I liked Pierce a lot more than I usually do. Oh, I do wish there had been a final chapter of Malavai and Tori though!
Thanks for sharing, it has been a most enjoyable read.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this. Particularly your characterization of Pierce. I'm... tempted to ship him with your Sith Warrior, which I almost never do. He's surprisingly sweet, but it doesn't feel unrealistic. I'm not a fan of DS Jaesa, but you've managed to make her somewhat likable as well. And Melia is delightful.

I have been silent this entire time, but now is the time for commentary. I've been following ever since ch...18? 19? Something like that.
I. Am. In. AWE. This is by far one of the BEST Sith Warrior fanfics that I've read. And I've done quite a bit of digging. I love how you write just enough detail that it still leaves some to the imagination. The connection between Tori and Malavai is absolutely perfect. How you had them slowly work through his betrayal - so good. And Jaesa's attitude is spot on for her DS self. There's just so many in-game details that you've included that have made this story so wonderful.
I hope it doesn't end here! _

Yes yes yes! Finally Baras is dead! *happiest of happy dances*. Well, as usual, I have a lot of rambling to do, so I'm just gonna start with the first part of the chapter. Those parts between Nikos and Tori and Tori and Vette, respectively, made me tear up. Nikos and Tori, even if their relationship is scarred and fragile, fills me with such hope. And the protectiveness and care that Tori has for Vette makes me love her all the more. By the scene with the rest of the crew, I was crying.

And then I got more Vowrwan! The sass and fabulousness are strong with that hot grandpa! The fight was just...so worth the wait. So. Worth. It. Although, I must say, perhaps I'm mistaken, but I noticed that you didn't seem to describe it in as much detail as her fight with Draafh, which I found interesting. The main antagonist of this story isn't so much Baras, although he certainly doesn't help, but it's been Tori's own fear, doubt, and uncertainty. As well as Malavi's. I've loved getting to go along on this journey with her regaining herself, and I appreciated that, in the end, the fight with Baras was almost trivial, compared to the battle with herself. And don't think I missed that thing about her eyes being green instead of amber. After all this time, she's finally regained herself. And she is truly unique, powerful, and amazing. Can't wait for the next chapter! :)

*squees, flails, and faints* I don't even know where to start do I'll just say thank you! THANK YOU for finally having Tori and Quinn kiss! And Melia and Pierce! I literally squealed with joy when I read that; the people around me all gave me weird looks, but it was so worth it!

I enjoyed the interpersonal dynamics of this chapter so much! The confrontation between Melia and Pierce was just so perfect and so overdue. I loved that she was able to provoke him into opening up and finally talking about his feelings. He's needed someone to talk to for so long, and I just felt so bad for him. And that kiss! Thank you soooo much! And I loved the development of his relationship with Tori. Even if the Pierce/Tori/Quinn triangle isn't completely resolved, I respected so much that he could respect her decisions regarding Quinn and find it in himself to trust her. That's the kind of friendship I envy, and I'm just so glad that they will continue to be there for each other.

And, finally, that kiss between Tori and Quinn was so awesome! Thank tje Force he's finally choosing to be assertive again. And the fact that she responds to him this way, that they both use that passion to link with the other and grow just makes me feel that they're totally meant to be together. I just love this chapter so much, and it was awesome. I love this story! :)

OHMYGOD THIS IS PERFECTION. YOUR WRITING IS PERFECTION. YOU ARE PERFECTION. I BOW BEFORE THE WONDER THAT IS YOUR WRITING.
Ahem.
Seriously though, your characterizations are beautiful, your style is seamless, your dialogue is realistic... It's all absolutely fantastic. :D I can't wait to see how you wrap this up but at the same time I don't want it to end!
Keep kicking some serious ass!

Heh. Baras was such a worthless blowhard. This final fight continues to be one of my vary favorite in SWTOR, simply for how satisfying it is.

Now I desperately need to know what's going on with Jeasa! Poor thing

AAAAAAAHHHH THIS IS SO GOOD AND I HONESTLY CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU CONCLUDE IT BECAUSE YOUR WRITING IS FABULOUS AND I ADORE THIS STORY. /deep breathing On the other hand, an ending to this story means that it will be over and that would be sad, but I'm so excited for it anyway! Your writing is fantastic and I love the way you've developed these characters! Keep up the absolutely excellent work!

Perfect stopping point. Gah I can't wait for the big showdown!

Yay yay yay! Ok, so let's get the usual out of the way. ;). I love Tori, Melia, and Vette to pieces. Pierce and Quinn are lovable idiots. Vowrawn is awesomeness, and I adore the crew's interactions!

That being said, the plot tension in this chapter is great! I'm just chomping at the bits to see how this confrontation with Baras unfolds. And Quinn is gonna be the one to accompany her? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! The fact that he is working within the parameters that Tori has laid out just means so much to me. As does the fact that they are both rediscovering themselves in time for the big finale. The only par that has me sad is the fact that Pierce seems to be getting overlooked, but I suppose that has to happen. :(. Besides, he's got Melia to keep him company. And now I'm soooo curious to find out just what she said to him. Can there please please please be a scene with them talking together next chapter? Pleeeease?

Oooh, and that part of the Fury where Quinn sees that twinkle in Tori's eye despite the amber color still there? Zomg, that was such a perfect compare and contrast to the beginning chapters when she had lost herself. Yet now she's in the process of finding herself, even of she's not all the way there. There is so much more I could say, but I love this story and I cannot wait for the next installment. Moar plz! :).

AAAAAHHH THIS STORY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER! I've always had a soft spot for Quinn, but I really really adore the way you write him, and Tori is super awesome too. :D (These two just need to make up and cuddle, okay?) And bonus points for tranq-ing Pierce for surgery. XD And bonus bonus points for including Andronikos, because he is also supremely fabulous, and Dad!Nikos is even more fabulous still. I really can't wait for Baras to get stabbed in the face once or twice. Or three times, because he really has it coming. I will anxiously await your next update and be here (stalking you!) to read it. :)

I like how slowly you're taking Tori and Quinn's reuniting. It feels like a very good (reasonable) pace, given the Quinn-cident.

So glad that I finally got the chance to read this! Gah, I love it all, every little but of interaction! I must say, the little bits of ironic humor (aka Vette and Nikos) really pulled this together with just the perfect balance. I'm so glad things are heating up, and I'm chomping at the bits to see why happens with Baras. And te little hints that tori is caring more and more about Quinn are just perfect. I can't wait to see how he reacts to the Entity's advice, and what that means for the two of them. Wonderful work, as always, and can't wait to read more!

I hope the next chapter comes along quickly. I"m getting worn out anticipating Tori & Quinn's reconciliation :(

I've been secretly stalking this story for a while now, and I really don't think how much I can express how much I'm enjoying it. :) It's well-written and tears at my heart in that really excellently painful way where I just want them to make up already but on the other hand an ending would kill me because that would mean everything was over. OTL Keep writing and I will keep sitting here, stalking and admiring your lovely work. C:
