Summary
First written in, gods, 2006, as a dare to myself, to write a slash relationship I haven't thought possible. Little did I know that the much beloved men in question would have other ideas about what's possible and what's not. This is the first part of a trilogy, the second part of which I consider to be my best work to date, and the third part of which is still unfinished. Can stand alone, though.
Summary: Yavin IV is too big a place for two lonely being who started the night looking for solitude and ended up sitting at the same fire to be anything but a coincidence.

Summary
Frankly, I suck in summaries - especially when I have to sum something that was written as an effort to put to rights all the issues that have been bothering me throughout the entire Vong War series and some of the earlier books. What went wrong between Kyp Durron and Luke Skywalker? How a child who barely knew how to use the Force managed to survive the harshest prison in the Galaxy? Why the Jedi of Luke's first class faded to the background prior to the war and were not exactly visible during the War? Why Luke never seemed to be able to hold on to a girl? Can Mara Jade overcome her issues with Luke's past and come to terms with Kyp Durron and his role in her husband's life? What it takes to wear off the resilience of someone who has never been broken? What happened to Kyp's kids? And, finally, if Jaina Solo is the Sword of the Jedi, then who is the Shield?
Above all, though, it's a love story. Not romance, mind you. Just love, with its many faces.
