I am addicted to this story and these characters. You have managed to humanize Jango Fett for me. And that's a feat. I was rooting for them by the end--as a couple and a family.
Boba is a very sharp addition to their dynamic as well. And the layers of supporting characters really brings the whole world to life.
I'm salivating for the third part, but despairing that it will never be written. Even if it's not completed, I ask you to please post what you have to get their homecoming on Tipoca City. I'm interested in Vau's reaction to them as a couple.

I am thoroughly enjoying this story. I also enjoyed the first part, part-Time Job.
I love Kal and Vau from reading KT's books, and it's great to have more exploration of their time with the Cuy-Val Dar. I'm already on the Nulls' side, of course. LOL
I'm only to chapter 17 or 18, so I'm anxious to keep reading and see how this plays out between Tomoe and Jango and Boba.
The juxtaposition of traditional Japanese warrior culture and the Mandalorians is a very interesting mix.

The only down-side to AFF, is that there's no way to respond to reviews or send a message. :) But thanks for reviewing "Punisher" and yes...I have to admit...I've been hugely inspired by your "Full Time Job" and "Part Time Job." :-D The story between Sheresh and Vau is pretty different, but your portrayal of Vau really set my muses spinning.... LOL So, yes...apparently, Fett made it a habit. ^_^ Hope you continue to enjoy!

Ok, what? She just offered him the means to end his own disgrace.....This really leaves me wondering what he's got planned. I do have a few ideas, but dang! I guess part of me still wonders if he will take her by force again...

This chapter had me on the edge of my seat! What had me really intrigued was the way Tomoe reacts when she finds out that Jango is in fact, alive. She hates him with her entire being....but for some reason she can't kill him....Can't wait for the next chapter

Yeah, lots of loose ends to take care of, isn’t it? That’s my purpose to keep the plot going...
And here’s a more character-related excuse: If Tomoe wanted to blow up the Slave I she would have needed a real det on board, not just an imaginary one paired with a convincing pose. Aside of her good old honor issue, she could have slotted Kal and explained the body as well as the illegal landing and considerable damage to the local police while waiting for the rest of the Mando-rabble to pick her up from a holding cell. And what would happen to Boba?
Nay, neither of them would deserve that ;) I wouldn’t waste my favorite Cuy’val dar like that…

Wow. All I can say is just...wow. Jawdropper of a chapter!
Jango completely underestimated her(while overestimating himself to boot) and his whole plan blew up in his face. Instead of pushing her to the breaking point and driving her into submission, she went the other way and turned on him quite violently. I'd almost feel sorry for him if not for the way he's been during the course of this fic.
And of course, a bit of an explanation for his behavior. Survivor's guilt. He won't seek anyone the usual way out of fear of losing them as he did his family, but yet isn't entirely cut out to stay alone, either. He's spent his whole life as Mand'alor and now he's finding out how lonely it is at the top.
Fooled by his jealousy and a warm-air vent, too. Like the one tale Tom'ika told, this is what happens when one doesn't do their recce right. Instead of looking closer, he immediately assumed the worst and found out the hard way just how hard she'd fight to get away if he came after her again.
Still, I don't think Fett's entirely dead yet. Knocked out when she ran off, sure, but I don't think it's that easy, even with surprise, to take him down for good. And as many Cuy'val are there, someone's bound to find him.
She's quite the liar, too, not letting on to Boba or the other unknown Mando'ad where Fett is or what happened to him. I doubt that Skirata's fooled, though, especially when Tom'ika turned her knife on Bob'ika. I doubt the kid's happy about that and I bet NOW is where the gears start turning and he figures out what happened.
Clever girl, going after the smallest of the Cuy'val and the least likely to shoot first and ask later. Still, I don't think he's going to let her get away with attempting to kill Jango and threatening Boba.
If I didn't think there was more to Tom'ika than even what we've read so far, I'd say she was two of a kind to Jango. He thinks he's saved her from a worse fate than himself, while she thinks she's protecting Boba from his own father. Something tells me Skirata and the other Cuy'val had a plan in case she pulled something like this. At the very least, I doubt this is going to work out like Tomoe planned.
Skirata might have some guilt to him, but I don't think her hitting below the belt on him about the tihaar will work any more than the attempts worked on Jango.
Tom'ika's actually average for where I live. Maybe a hair on the short side, but she's still taller than me! *is only 5'3!* But from what I know of Japanese culture, yeah, she's pretty tall. Was in a tea ceremony club in college and most of the girls there were small(yet still mostly taller than me! lol) so yeah, 5'6 would be tall, just short compared to the 6'+ Mandos. :P
Indeed, Tom'ika's idea of honor is quite foreign to Jango's. Honor for him is following the Resol'nare, among other things. In the war with the Death Watch, there wasn't much of Tom'ika's sort of honor, and even after, living the life he leads.
The flashback to his mother and sister was a nice touch, but I'm betting there's still even more to it than that. The way he sees it, life could be worse. Hell, he's BEEN through worse. Long as one comes out of it alive, it just makes you stronger. Just didn't think of how strong being around a brute like him could make someone. Bloody Monday indeed.
The lil' sarlacc-pit has been taken care of. Got the chapter written this morning and will be posting it as soon as I get this review posted. ;P Looking forward to more as always!
