From Dream to Dream (a.k.a "Loyalty to a Dead Man")
By Trickster-Jaina-Fel



Disclaimer: I don't own Jaina, Jag, Davin, Cherith, etc, etc. Reality sucks. Btw, I chose "From Dream to Dream" as the official title upon hearing "One Day I'll Fly Away" (I think that was the title, anyway; it was sung by Nicole Kidman) in "Moulin Rouge". I don't own that either.

Summary: in a galaxy where Jaina Solo and the late Davin Fel were close friends, and nearly something more before Davin's death, Jagged Fel and Jaina Solo meet. This collection is mostly EU compliant, but with AU emotions/thoughts, and an original undercurrent.

Keywords: NJO, vignettes, angst, drama, romance, friendship, slight AU

Characters: Jaina Solo, Jagged Fel, and Davin Fel (maybe Cherith Fel and Kyp Durron later)

Author's Note: This started out as just a little side-ways friendship from when I first discovered fan fiction, and was still a loyal "J/J'er" (yes, there really was a time when that was true :P). In the original story, Jaina and Davin met for the first time when Jaina came to visit Jag (in an AU where Jaina and Jag met as children). Davin answered the door, and was the unlucky bearer of bad news: Jag had been called back to his training. Slowly, this became a regular occurrence in my series "Of Imperials and Rebels" (or something like that…) and Jaina and Davin became close friends. Inevitably, and quite without my consent, the two became closer. As their relationship grew, the series changed, until I saw Davin and Jaina as the original pairing, rather than Jaina and Jag. I played with this in my mind, until I began to wonder, why would a Chiss-raised colonel go out into the crowd to greet a stranger? Certainly, these things don't usually happen – and what about Jaina and Davin? It was about then that I re-read Dark Journey and I, Davin, and Jaina were faced with harsh reality: Davin did not survive the war even until Ithor. Suddenly, events took on a new light. It was very easy to see Jag, who I imagined had been very close to his older brother, and Jaina, who I imagined seeing Davin in Jag, doing what they did from Ithor on.

AN2: Jag is a year-and-a-half older than Jaina; Davin and Lissa are a year older than Jag; Cherith is a year younger than Jaina. Lissa Fel died a year before Davin.
