lukeandmaraThe short version: ginchy was very sad after reading Chapter 29 of Night Must Fall. I created this to make her feel better. So thank her!
The longer version: After she read that chapter, I told her my plan for the rest of the trilogy to cheer her up, but she still demanded an epilogue. I told her there wouldn’t be an epilogue because I really liked the way the trilogy ended and wasn’t entirely sure what would happen to Luke and Mara in the long run. I knew they’d be together, but not the specifics. And I really kind of wanted her to be Empress. (On the contrary, I knew exactly what Han and Leia would be doing—flying around on the Rebel Dream, taking care of remaining Imperial warlords.)
So anyway, as I got closer to posting Chapter 29, I grew more and more apprehensive about reader reactions, and grew sad myself. Around that time I was in the thick of writing WotF, and made a decision: after the trilogy ended, Mara would say “kriff it all” and go rule the Empire. And Luke, being Luke, would go with her. And they would be happy. Because, even though you all think I just love the angst, I do want them to have a happy ending (in more ways than one!).
And thus we have the wonderful universe of Empress/Consort: Mara rules the Empire benevolently; Luke rebuilds the Jedi Order (with Imperial funds, of course; Mara loves the irony); and there is peace with the New Republic.
Oh, and they have lots and lots of sex all around the Imperial Palace. Take that, Palpy!

Cast of characters include:
Mara Jade (Skywalker) - Empress
Luke Skywalker – Prince Consort (or, as Han likes to call him, Kid Consort)
Inga – their maid
Br’aad – Mara’s social secretary
Ben – future baby
Han Solo – annoying brother-in-law
Ginchy and I have been writing these drabbles and smabbles since November and I can hardly believe it’s finally time to post them. As of this posting there are 29 completed posts. We will be posting one every day until we run out. There’s a very loose narrative throughout, ending with Mara finally abdicating the throne before Ben’s birth. But mostly it’s just about the smut.
Oh yeah – if you all want to write your own drabbles/smabbles…we won’t say boo.
We hope you enjoy! First post will go up tonight.
