Review:
When Luke's desire to have a father overshadows his need to help his friends and the Rebellion, he finds himself traveling down a very dark path.

This is, by far, one of the more chilling stories I've found in the 'turns to the dark side' genre. Masterfully manipulated by his father, Luke's gradual descent into the darkness is both horrifying and fascinating to read, both because he's consenting without fully knowing what exactly he's consenting to and because he believes, firmly, that it'll enable his father and himself a life together. Even the sex, which is dubious and dark, is eventually given the full backing by Luke because he believes it's another step to bringing father and son to their rightful destiny.

While I'm usually not a huge fan of darkfic in general, this is one of those stories that sucked me, kept me reading, and managed to find its way onto my favorites list without my even knowing it.
