Oh, wow--very powerful!

Thank you so much!!

Beautifully executed -- the scenes could have gone this way so easily, the pacing of the piece is just right. I especially liked Ahsoka's bit of what she calls 'selfishness' in thinking what would become of her, an echo of Anakin's practical concerns at Qui-Gon's funeral. And, we got to see the river stone again, another plus!

I am actually ridiculously proud of this one. I struggled with it and actually ended up re-writing it a few times, and I am really pleased with how it came out. And I will never, ever get tired of the river stone. Ever.

I volunteer to sew a special pocket for it in your cloak.

So sad but I really liked it!
