A true gem for a rainy evening. I could literally see him sitting in the rain, enjoying this short escape. For nearly all people going out in the rain is easy, but for him it is nearly impossible and because of this a invaluable gift. English is not my mother tongue (German is), so this could contain any kind of mistakes.

i find it very interesting that u write a lot about darth vader. u always seem to give a little insight to the gentle side of his character. how did u get interested in him in the first place. what sparked ur interest?

Ingeniously written

Very niceley written. I love the way the author explores the thoughts and feelings of Darth Vader in a realistic and human way.

Yay! Another story so quickly!

Poor Vader. I know if I was stuck like that I would commit suicide in the first week, probably on the first day, so he does pretty well to last twenty years.

Fics about Anakin and rain or Vader-unmasked fics have been done before, but the combination of the two, Vader's point of view, and your smooth writing style make this one unique. I really like how Vader's name is never in fact mentioned; it gives a feel of realism to the piece, as do the lush descriptions of the planet and Anakin's actions. Very good piece.

I came very close to tears with that one... I've always loved the rain, and this strengthens that love.

How lovely, and bittersweet.

O, wow - this is first-rate stuff here!

At first, I thought you were talking about Luke, until the prison description started - and this really was a gem.

Nicely-drawn descriptions, explorations of what started the chink in Vader's evil armor that Luke managed to exploit in RoTJ to redeem Anakin. I loved it.

A beautiful and revealing one-shot, powerfully written.
