In
VA-Parky's
Lifespan, from 2005, Vader visits the grave of his angel. 2005 also gave us
And the Stars Be Our Witness, by
Wendynat, wherein Qui-Gon and Shmi share one night, knowing that it will be the only one.
From 2004, we present
Trickster_Jaina_Fel's

In Memoriam, by
Nemesis, show us that love never forgets.
