Why this must be read:

Ignore the 1996 Fan Q for best story
Ignore the 1996 Star Award.

This is still a fabulous story any which way one takes it.

It is AU, using one of my favorite tropes: Luke didn't escape the carbonite pit.
The rest of the story is a seduction. Not a sexual one, but one of mind and soul. Slowly, Luke slips into the Darkness, never realizing he's falling.

MJ has a beautiful way with Luke, capturing idealism, anger, Father-need and power-hunger all in one. Her Vader is one of the closest to canon I've encountered: stern, with anger boiling below the surface, but able to feel.

So, Dark Luke. Why are you still reading this?
