Leave it to Skywalker to entertain a child by risking their life.
Dances Without Purpose - Chapter 8 is up.
Dinner with the Solos isn't quite what Mara expected it to be.
Mara, do you need to talk?
Chapter 7 of Dances Without Purpose - is up.
Mara's painfully awkward conversation with Luke has consequences too
Ok...genuine question here and I know I'm only one who's asked this but...
Did Obi-wan and Yoda never wonder that if Luke succeeded with killing Vader, how he would react if he found out that he was made to unknowingly commit patricide?
Because as it is knowingly committing patricide even if your dad was a horrible person takes a toll on one's psyche, it impacts a person's mental wellbeing and leaves a scar that never really heals for the most part.
It's also well known that Luke yearned for his dad like crazy and we know that both Yoda and Obi-wan were aware of this.
Now imagine unknowingly committing patricide when you've been yearning for Mr. Paternity himself, coming to realisation that you now have the blood of the father you've been yearning for on your hands and there is absolutely nothing you can do to change that and knowing that the mentors you trusted knew you were killing your father but didn't stop you or care for how it would affect you if you found out, they were insisting upon it in fact. I'm pretty sure that's a good way to make a whole new Sith Lord no?
Did they not...consider what that would do to him, how that would genuinely and most probably break him?
My theory has long been that Obi-Wan and Yoda sincerely thought that if they waited until Luke was more trained to reveal the little point of view thing, they be able to convince him that Vader has nothing left of his father in him.
The Jedi, I think, didn’t really understand family by this point. If children were raised in the academy and bonded in master/apprentice relationships, then they saw those as the strongest relationships Jedi had.
Since Obi Wan, Vader’s master, couldn’t keep him from going dark, they couldn’t imagine anyone else pulling it off especially a son Vader didn’t know he had.
They forgot Anakin’s strong bond with his mother, and completely underestimated Luke because all of it was outside of a point of view they could understand.
At least I wasn't the only one suffering.
Dances Without Purpose - Chapter 6 is up.
The fallout from the gala might be a bit more than Mara expected...

How did I do this night after night?
Dances Without Purpose - Chapter 5 is up.
What better way to make sure everyone thinks Mara and Lando are together than putting in an appearance at one of the last places Mara wants to be - a glittery palace gala.
We've got to do something!
Dances Without Purpose - Chapter 4 is now up.
With another Death Star on the loose, there are many explosions.
Do you think it’s operational?
Dances Without Purpose- Chapter 3 is up.
Mara faces down a Death Star for the first time.
I was concerned Calrissian would abandon the deal, and wondered if I’d have to convince Karrde to take it on in his place.Â
Dances Without Purpose - Chapter 2 is up
The battle for Kessel heats up.
May the Fourth Be With You!! New Posting! Mara Jade Memoir Part 3: Dances Without Purpose
Welcome to Part 3 of My Decisions, My Reasons: a Mara Jade memoir
Chapter 1 is up!
Dances Without Purpose - Chapter 1
I'm currently planning to post on Mondays and Thursdays.
Part 3 covers the time period between the defeat of Exar Kun in Champions of the Force and I, Jedi up to roughly the end of The Crystal Star, but a lot of the storyline is also impacted by references made in Vision of the Future.
Here, Mara recounts her regularly interrupted hunt for Jorj Car'das in the company of Lando Calrissian.
Unlike parts 1 and 2 which start with my suppositions before moving into existing texts, part 3 leaps right into the middle of Champions of the Force and Mara and Lando's visit to Kessel...

Mara and Han, because I love their friendship
Believe it or not. Part 3: Dances Without Purpose, is almost complete. It's a bit rambly but so is this segment of Mara's life as she navigates a strange route through some odd obstacles and relationships. This segment is from Children of the Jedi. It's a minor moment but I find it deeply illustrative of Mara and Han's friendship and I really love it. These two people are both prone to a snarky defensiveness, but, by now, there is a deep trust there. And it shows here as Mara is able to read him through the emotion and regulate herself.
WIP: Trust an assassin to foil an assassination plot
In Vision of the Future, when threatened by Crimelord Bombaasa on Pembric II, Karrde says the following: "I'm talking about a situation that occurred here a little over six years ago... one in which a rather dapper gentleman and a young lady with red-gold hair foiled an assassination plot against you." So here's an excerpt from Mara's own experience with this crimelord...
WIP Wednesday: Bickering on the way to Exocron
Mara and Lando are getting tired of the whole charade...and of each other as they head into an asteroid belt.
WIP: Mara tries therapy
Mara and Cilghal had an exchange in Lightsabers are Always Loaded that suggested Cilghal, with her healing skills, might be able to help Mara deal with her trauma. Although she seems unaffected in canon, I figure her adventure with the Death Star in Champions of the Force would be rough on her, so she decides to give it a try. Clearly she has some work to do...
WIP Wednesday: How Dare You
More from part 3. Every undercover mission involves sacrifices. Sometimes they're your sacrifices. Sometimes you make them someone else's...

I love this picture of Mara she so angy
She is soooo angry. I also love Luke in this panel. It is canon that he uses his outer tunic as a pillow and I love the reminder this means he’s just lounging around napping in his sleeveless shirt, showing off his sculpted form to her.
Instagram thirst traps could never.
I swear if LF had actually invested in adapting Lukemara to the screen from the start and thus giving it mainstream visibility the entire Internet would be obsessed with it because it has every cliche thing fandoms foam at the mouth over:
-dramatic enemies-to-lovers plotline
-grumpy/sunshine dynamic
-jaded assassin who is hot falls in love with the golden boy hero with a dark streak who is also hot
-a ridiculous amount of flirtatious bickering
-refusing to verbally communicate their feelings so they spend far too long overcompensating for their emotional constipation by repeatedly saving each other's lives
-a lot of mutual whump (both mental and physical)
-they literally did the "PUT ME DOWN I CAN WALK" trope at one point
-everybody knows they're obsessed with each other except them
-family/friends attempt to play matchmaker with disastrous yet somehow successful results
-they have an intense emotional psychic bond which means that they are both drift compatible in a crisis and highly inappropriate with each other at the worst possible moments
-they have superpowers so their baby also has superpowers
-years of repressed feelings erupting during a life or death crisis
-spontaneous marriage proposal during said life or death crisis
-mutually protective morons
-"If you want to get to him you have to get through me first"
-acting like an old married couple long before actually getting married
-he gives her an item of great emotional significance at a crucial turning point in the storyline, signaling his feelings for her, which she does not pick up on right away thus leading to years of confusion and dating a bunch of random people who are obviously not the endgame
-misplaced jealousy that is resolved during an argument about their exes that is kind of objectively stupid and they both know it
-I AM HIS WIFE AND YOU WILL PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME RIGHT NOW OR I AM GOING TO BEAT YOU UP (FOR THE THIRD TIME)
Anyway I could go on but you get the picture
This!!!!! 100%
Yeah, it's awesome isn't it?
