I love your writing style and characterization. I am so happy that I find it and read it many times over.

Beautiful story!

It was amazing! Keep up the good work :D

I really enjoyed this. Thank-you. It was very moving.

I feel like my heart is going to burst.. This was great and regardless if the promised sequel didn't materialize thank you for sharing this. Somehow it alleviated the pain of ROTS

Beautifully written

Way to 'Mary Sue' your main character by giving her your own religious ideals.

Great story! I want more! Its really beautifully written

*sniff sniff* really hits you in the feels.

Very good story, had me riveted. And the ending wasn't bad; I think it was very true to the two characters.

Beautifully written with insight. I like how Vader distracted his anger by manipulating the air; for some reason it reminded me of a cat intensely focused on something, swishing it's tail.

This is a beautiful and original take on things! Can't wait to see where this goes.

You really have a great grasp on the character of Darth Vader...love it!

Oh, very nice story! I really liked your Anakin/Vader. I especially liked that he didn't just turn into goody-two-shoes, all light and fluffy. He'd spent a decade as Darth Vader, and even though he's changing that change is not instantaneous or complete. So, very nicely done! And I loved that you switched between Padmé's and Anakin's point of views.

I have two points of critique, though. First, the...well, it's not really an emphasis, but the repeated mention of religion, of Padmé praying and thinking of God and so on. I found that didn't really fit into the Star Wars universe. Religion does not play any role at all in it, except if you want to see the Jedi as a religious group. And even then, they are not worshiping a God or Gods but learning how to use the Force and follow certain principles. So Padmé suddenly praying and thinking of God was a bit jarring.

Secondly, the poem that Padmé remembers. These people 'live' in a completely different galaxy and different time. I highly doubt they'd know poems by some Earth poet. So having Padmé recite such a poem was weird, to say the least. On the other hand I really liked the little quotes you put at the beginning of each chapter. For one I just love quotes and for another they set the mood nicely.

Oh, and a question: Why is Anakin/Vader wearing the suit when he obviously doesn't need it? And what happened at Mustafar? He was injured, he has scars and stuff, and he told Padmé that the suit is because of what happened at Mustafar, but things must have happened differently than in canon since he seems perfectly fine running around and fighting without the suit. I had hoped to find out at some point when Padmé got around to asking him, but that never happened...

So, yeah, cool story! I enjoyed reading it very much.

I've just reread this story (I remember reading it years ago) and I still think it is fantastic. I really liked the build up when Padme was in her prison cell and how much detail you go into with the characters' feelings. Will you ever be writing the sequal you mentioned?
