For many (including me), the progression of Luke's and Mara's relationship during the Hand of Thrawn duology was somewhat jarring. Very little effort was made by the authors to expand on the relationship between the two during the Bantam era. Blame this on whomever you'd like, but at this point fans of this pairing are unlikely to get any new official stories featuring these two prior to their marriage, as the New Republic era is all-but-dead as far as major plotlines are concerned.
There have been a number of fan fiction authors that have taken to attempting to fill in the gaps in the story of Luke and Mara. The following stories are my attempt. There are many other excellent stories out there which do likewise. Any similarities between my stories and those of other fan fiction authors are purely coincidence, as I studiously avoid reading fanfic stories set in time periods in which I'm working until my stories are finished.
The stories here are intended to fit into the existing canon as much as possible. There are some aspects that can be considered "internal canon", which simply means that some of my (chronologically) later stories make reference to earlier stories.
I hope you enjoy the stories.
