A stellar vignette. It is so haunting, and the imagery is absolutely breathtaking. So glad to see this in the Archive!

I really liked this vignette. It has such a unique, ethereal feel. In fact, the whole vignette feels to the reader as Padmé and Obi-Wan must to Anakin: the understanding, the tangibility, is almost within one's grasp, but you hesitate to examine it too closely for fear of it dancing away from you. There's an otherworldly beauty throughout - then the final paragraphs do an admirable job of grounding the reader once again, creating a sharp contrast between the existence that Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan now experience, and that of those who have not joined the Force. It takes a talented writer to convey all of that so well. :)

And lovely cover art, Gina! It suits the story beautifully. :)

This is very well done. The description of the rain is so clear that I can hear and feel the rain. Also, the relativity of this rain to Anikin's life and changing of the scenes is so smooth and amazing! I got the shivers on the last line! Well done! Now we all know that whenever it rains someone's thinking about this story... including me!

That was...*stifles the sniffles and tears*...very good. Yes. Very good job. I had often thought about something like this happening. Very nicely done.

When I clicked on the link to this story, I was thinking "Why do I get the feeling I've read this before?" There are so many vingettes involving Anakin and rain that they all start to blur together.

When I finished reading, I was thinking "Well, I certainly haven't read THAT before!" You had such an interesting concept here, and the way you wrote it pulled everything together beautifully. You've managed to stand out in the crowd of Anakin rain fics.

Great job!

I really loved it but you knew that already. Why, oh, why did he have to die??? Now the Galaxy is under the hand of Palpatine.

Loved the image of the rain and at the end it was raining on Coruscant. Loved that you made it so very vivid in my mind. Great job.

Beautiful, haunting and tragic. Very well written. I enjoyed the little touch of Palpatine at the end, so callous.

amazing... for the empire to have just begun but to have lost the might of one of the most infomost men in the galaxy before the empire can take hold...wow... and the calosness at which anakin is laid to rest of not as the case maybe is so tipicly palpatine... cold and heartless!
