Author's Note: This is set during Revenge of the Sith, when Obi-Wan is about to leave Padmé's apartment. His parting words will receive a different answer to the one in the film, which I've had in my mind for awhile, but never decided to use until now. There's another change too, but you'll have to read this to discover what it is.
Please leave feedback by replying to this thread.

I can't quite express the level of surprise and joy that I felt when I read that Padmé was actually a surrogate for Bail and Breha - they've experienced so much heartache and she would so do that for them. It adds to her compassionate nature as well as the level of trust between the 3 of them. It's an idea that I've never come across in fan fiction before.
I'm glad Obi-Wan could defeat the Emperor together with Yoda. How messy would the Senate be in the aftermath! It would be such a challenge for the next Chancellor. I don't blame Padmé for not wanting the job.
I'd like to see how the story continues (hopefully as a redemption sequel) next time. Thanks for sharing this.

*chants* SEQUEL! SEQUEL! SEQUEL! This was great, Danielle! I'm hooked! You have such a beautiful sense of these characters and I love how, in this story, you tweak just one or two threads and it changes the entire path of the narrative! I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this. Please please PLEASE continue it!

Thank you all, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Its what I love about writing, asking myself what could have happened instead, what would have happened if, and seeing what my mind decides to do with the answers.
I think I will get to a sequel at some point. It might be a while, I have a lot of stuff on the go. It depends on the length, if it can be done without becoming too long, then I might return to it sooner, otherwise it will have to wait until Shimmer is finished, as I promised I would get that done this summer, lockdown or no lockdown.

Ooh this is brilliant Danielle!! I love that Padmé was acting as a surrogate for Bail and Breha, that's so beautiful <3 And yass, Palpy is dead!! I would have loved to have seen that. Also, I would like to see a redemption arc with Anakin. He's grown on me after all these years and I've seen so many posts about all the things that could have been. Can't wait for a sequel! Even if I have to wait a year xD

Thanks, Nat, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. Having Padmé as a surrogate was one of the first alternatives I thought about for that scene, its just taken me ages to come up with a story for it.
I keep chopping and changing over Anakin. Sometimes I'm ok with him, other times I keep questioning if he deserves redemption after all he did. I sort of feel this probably suits the redemption arc, although I may have him never forgiving himself. I don't really see him feeling guilt a lot, only regret over what he should be, not for the beings he killed. But then I stopped reading Anakin centric fic a while ago, so that's probably why.
