Apologies for taking so long to comment. The last few weeks have been very, very busy.

Of course, I wasn't too busy to read this ;)

He felt a trace of disappointment that she hadn't said she was here to see him.

That's both sort of sad and creepy. lol.

She moved to his side and stretched up to kiss him on the cheek. "I knew I could count on you."

LOL! That feels very, very true to character. And very fitting with GFFA. Carefully treating the line between cute and distrubing.

"How long have you known?" he asked cautiously. "About me."

Organa hesitated. "Since the beginning."Again, I'm loving the interactions between Vader and Bail. It's lovely to see both of them in their element. We've seen the issues of Vader's past played out with Luke (and to a limited extent, between Luke and Vader) and Obi-Wan and Yoda, but we're robbed of having the adult characters deal with these issues one on one. (And no, I don't think that Vader and Obi-Wan's few terse words in ANH even comes close to dealing with the issues). I love that

No worries! I knew you were out there!

but we're robbed of having the adult characters deal with these issues one on one.

Yeah, I think that's part of what I've enjoyed most about this- having characters who were there interact with Vader and be able to call him on his actions. Plus Vader gets to interact with people who might expect more from him than he's used to getting away with.

it's incumbent upon Leia (and Padme) to extricate themselves from this situation before everything goes disasterously wrong.

Yeah, true, true. But I'm not letting Vader off the responsibility hook this time!

Can't wait for more!!

Should be able to oblige - I've written three scenes in three days, which is fast for me. These next two chapters have a lot of energy.

"Getting into and out of impossible situations, it's what we do."

Gah. I... I just LOVED this update. Well, I love this fic anyway, but still. :p The thought of Vader teaming up with Obi-Wan once more, after everything that has happened with them is just irresistable.

More great observational stuff in this chapter as well, and the conversation between Bail and Leia felt spot-on. And as always, Vader's own inner monologue is so damn compelling.

Fantastic work.

Thank you! Glad it hits you right.

The thought of Vader teaming up with Obi-Wan once more,

They've got some things to teach each other, that's for sure.
