Why this story must be read:

For a last rec for April, this fic floats in from the supernatural genre where the Force is a main character. It takes a delicate touch to write a tone that is playful, yet tinged with seriousness about the issues raised. Being dead, who knew there would be so much work involved and unending complications from life? eryn_skynobi has written a mostly light-hearted romantic version of the Blue Glowy-Zone, replete with characters 'morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably and reliably Dead,' just like the Munchkins declare the Wicked Witch of the West to be. Her zone does have some soothing grounding touches such as gardens, quarters with comfortable beds (as this genre often has sexy people who happen to be blithely dead), but the thing I liked a lot about it was the sense of the Force's power, thrumming just out of sight of the characters and of the readers. When Anakin gets upset, the Force does his bidding and the entire galaxy may fall. Obi-Wan wouldn't like that, but then Obi-Wan isn't Anakin's Master anymore. Oh, and there are live characters in this story, too. The link is to part one of a five-part story, but each segment is graciously linked to the next. Goodbye to everyone, and please sign up for a crack at driving the crack_van for Star Wars. It has power steering and extra-large cup holders.
