Title: Chase

Author: Tarsier

Timeframe: ~41 ABY, post-Sacrifice AU (about a year after Caedus/Jacen has been redeemed)

Main Characters: Ben Skywalker, Dankin, Jacen Solo (redeemed), Tahiri Veila

Genre: Drama/Action/Angst, novella

Summary: It's never too late to be who you might have been.

Author Notes: 1) This is a sequel to Chasing Whisperkits. Reading that story first is strongly recommended (it's not long!), but knowledge of that story is not integral to understanding this story. 2) Each chapter begins with a quote, some I made up, some are borrowed. For the borrowed quotes I sometimes try to make the author sound more Star-Wars-y while still being identifiable. 3) This story is inspired by some of the major events of LOTF. However, not all details of what has occurred earlier on this timeline are true to canon.
