I really enjoyed reading this. It had a naturalness about it, as if it were a brief window into their lives.

Bail's insight was well crafted, and I could imagine the addition of Obi-Wan mourning over the restrictions of the Code on Zigoola. His observations about Obi-Wan and their relationship had a glow and truth to them.

I did like how Obi-Wan was oblivious to Anakin's affection for Padmé. Poor Breha, her and Bails' sadness was beautifully conveyed.

Thanks for putting in the Accent Aigu in Padme's name, Danielle! And yes, I hoped to write a man whose own desire for a child /might/ push him on to great effort to protect the two lovers. Glad you enjoyed.

That's okay. I recently found out how you can type it, as opposed to inserting it, which is what I used to do. I'm not sure if this works for all pc's but if you press and hold the alt key whilst tapping 1,3 and 0 on your num lock section - with the num lock light on - then you get the é.

You have a remarkably crisp and elegant style, Pronker. It's a joy to read! I'm so glad that your plot bunnies were cooperative this year because I very much enjoyed reading this! I loved that it was from Bail's POV. It felt like we were watching the intimacy of their relationship along with him. And the bit at the end where she punked them was genius! I lol'd.

Thanks for the r/r! There was a huge plot bunny list on my recently deceased h/d and thank goodness I was able to recreate a few ideas from it. Zigoola would be just the place for Bail to *overhear* things that Obi-Wan would rather keep quiet.

[pronker]

danielle I'm going to write down that method! I've been using html previously.

Very nice! I liked your addition of Bail to it all.

[pronker]

@lupisnoctis Thanks - I'd wanted to write Bail a little, and this con seemed the opportunity. Canon was unfair to end their friendship, so that's why there's fanfic.

That was an amazing exciting and interesting read I really enjoyed it. Bail is a character you don't often read about in most fanfictions with Padme and Obi Wan-I think I've read two where he's a main character and seeing the pain of Breha and Bail not having children was so well written here and coming up with the situation. Such a lovely friendship, romantic story, well done

[pronker]

kenobiamidala Thanks for the r/r! Yeah, Bail needs fanfic love, I think, and there aren't a whole lot of stories with him being anything other than Leia's adoptive father; here, he's a good friend. And it was fun to write an outsider's POV for Obidala, too.

[Briseis]

This was really lovely. I especially the fact that it was from Bail's point of view, seeing Obidala.

[pronker]

Briseis Thanks so much! Bail has the outsider's perspective, but as someone who also is in love and would sympathize with any lovers' problems, I think... also, ha, he and Obi-Wan are written as not having much exposure to pregnant women, which makes Padme's manipulation of them that much more devilish
