I figured I'd be smart and do this right away. :)

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who reads this story, and especially those who leave a comment. I really appreciate, and I hope you enjoyed it.

I'd also like to thank my betas, and in particular obaona (how you can put up with my silly things, and all my drafts, I'll never know, but thanks a ton! ;) ). You all were so great and helpful, and I'm thankful for all the help you gave me while preparing this vignette for submission.

And special thanks to oba again, for her lovely cover art. My photo teacher thought it was done by a professional, so you know you did an excellent job.

This vignette is a companion to "And All I Loved, I Loved Alone," offering another possibility into what happened to Callista. I hope it's enjoyable. :)

How lovely, Liana! I loved the first one, but this one is even more beautiful. I always liked Callista--though not paired with Luke--and I thought she deserved better than what the profic gave her. Very good, Liana! I would love to see this in the SJRS archives.

Wonderful story. I actually have always had mixed feelings about Callista. She is interesting, bright, deep, but she never seemed to fit with Luke. And I didn't like how the profic treated her. But what you've done in such a small story has redeemed her in a way feel is fitting. Thank you!

An excellent piece of work. I have pondered on the fate of Callista and I am thrilled to see how her life turned out. I look forward to reading your future works.

Really cool story! I have wondered about what happened to Callista, and I really didn't want Mara and Luke to hate her. Awsome story!

Hi Megan! This is Jessica. Your story is amazingly heartfelt, though I'm not really into this StarWars stuff. I've never read anything you've written besides comedies, so this was very interesting. I now know that you are an amazing author of EVERYTHING.

Simply very beautiful. Not only because of the concept - which is fascinating and well thought out - but because you managed to write it so very well. A good insight into the wisdom of experience. :)

Great story. I like this story of what happened to Callista after the last book she was in.

You are officially one of my heroes. :) Callista is my favorite EU character, and what she has suffered at the hands of Kevin J. Anderson and the majority of the fandom have always saddened me. So to see a story that deals with Callista kindly and realistically absolutely warms my heart. Deep down I will always believe that Luke and Callista should have stayed together, but since that's (unfortunately) not the case I'm at least grateful for a fic where Mara doesn't get into a catfight with Callista and all parties are at peace. Thank you. :)

I'd like to go one record saying that I have always hated Callista. Passionately. And I probably wouldn't have read this fanfic if it hadn't been for the random fanfic option. But I'm glad I did. You made Callista into something more than the body-snatching bitc* she was in the books. Well done.

Great story. I always liked Callista, but never with Luke. Though she did deserve to be happy.

This story does a beautiful job of finally bringing the saga of Callista and Luke to a close. It is good to think of Callista finally having peace.

I would like to make one comment. Callista mentions in the story that the love between her and Luke had come to an end, but I would argue differently. I would say their passionate love had ended, but they still shared many other kinds of love. They share a love of everything light in the galaxy, a sense that they must do good. They share a sense of agape, self-sacrifice, and a willingness to sacrifice themselves for the ones they love. Callista felt she was sacrificing herself for Luke by leaving him, and in a way, at least I seem to think, Luke felt he was sacrificing himself by letting her go. They lost each other, but they did not lose each other's love.

What do people think about my comments?

"They lost each other, but they did not lose each other's love..."

I agree with you on this one, scottaloha. Very well put. I don't see why some people can hate Callista, especially since she hasn't been in the EU very much, but her and Luke, IMHO, are soul mates.

Hi, Annie I do try to comment on posts prraicultaly when asked a question (I think if you dig through previous posts, you'll see that I have tried). I also love the idea that you are all talking to one another, too! Please bear with me, as I'm doing this from DIAL UP (Comcast! Please add cable to our street! Save me from SLOOOOOW loading pages and frustrated readers! Please, Comcast please?). Hope you're having a good weekend.

How cruel you are. You're trying to get tihsets to be accurately counted so they will have something like their real numbers posted for all to see.Don't you understand what a slippery slope this is? When people see the real numbers of No Religion perhaps even more will admit they are in that category. Then maybe the religions will suddenly be in the minority. Then where will you be? No morals, no free ride for churches, nothing. Australia will be doomed. Doomed, I say! ROFLMAO
