Hamilton Quote In 2023 Again? Yeah

Petrichor, Chapter 4

It's not abandoned! There's just been a severe idea drought for... oof, the past few months? (This is my other SW fic, a time travel fix-it focusing on Obi-Wan and Anakin.) I guess the upside of struggling with the last chapter of Fortune's Rule Part II is that it led to the productive procrastination that resulted in this chapter?

Chapter 4. In which first thing in the morning is a bad time for delicate discussions.

I fell asleep last night to the comforting sounds of Anakin working away at repairing my appliances.  It was the most restful sleep I have enjoyed since the commencement of the old war, and now I feel unusually refreshed—fortunately so, for today I shall be required to soothe my fractious padawan’s anxieties anent returning to his own era.

Anakin slumbers still.  I rise and set about breakfast preparations; when they are complete, I take a moment to study him.  In sleep, he is peaceful, and despite the deep shadows under his eyes, his youthful features pretend an innocence to match that of the boy who lives across the wastes.  A smear of grease adorns his cheek, and I obey an irresistible impulse to wipe it away.  My hand lingers to brush a few stray hairs out of his face. As he shifts like a sleeping tooka under the touch, tension melts away which I had not realised he was holding.  Even now, I cannot read him as well as I ought, and so I withdraw to the table with a sigh.  His presence in this time, beneath this roof, is no mere chance.  The Force has placed him under my auspices.

Lovely hilarious thought for later, once Vader learns the Leia thing and gets his the rule of two is stupid actually he will be like, I know! Star Killer can marry my daughter, this works out well yes. This clearly solves all of my problems. Once he admits to himself he wants all of his fam on his side dark side like Ahsoka ill make you the Super Sith Princess? give you a pile of gold to Dragon Horde and other lovelies and the rest. be hilarious all the temp to Dark pretty Please?

Hey, sorry I missed this somehow!

Lol, this would be funny to see, Vader trying to just straight up start a Sith Dynasty and dragging in the entire fam! I wonder if Padmé would very grudgingly go along with it just because someone has to try to keep the chaos to a minimum. She would, of course, end up being part of the chaos.

Now playing: III-XIII. Conspiracy

In which Piett continues to deal with his minor crisis, Ahsoka receives an interesting transmission over the Fulcrum channel, and a certain pair of bored twins begin to hatch a plot.

So, I was watching Randy Rainbow videos on YouTube this evening, and it occurred to me that there would probably be someone like Randy Rainbow in the SW galaxy, out there criticizing Palpatine, Vader, the Moffs, etc., with "interviews" and clever, witty showtune parody holos.

Sure, this individual would have to be in disguise and doing the holos from a super-secret location, but you know somebody out there would be doing it... and oh my, would I love to see those.

Now playing: III-VII. Small Mercies

In which Ahsoka's faith is shaken, the Rebels head to Shili to do Rebel-y things, and Vader returns to the Executor to train Starkiller.

I'm also excited to share the artwork I created for @artmelody as part of the 2024 Vaderkin Creative Exchange! 🌟 I had a fantastic time working on this pieces and hope it brings as much joy and inspiration to you as it did to me.

Thank you @artmelody for being a wonderful match. Check out the final artwork below and let me know your thoughts!

Happy exchanging! 🎨✨

Question, if Vader could strangle people via holo, why didn’t the Empire just hire a bunch of slicers to get access to Alliance leaders' comms?  Don’t need to know where they are, just get ‘em remotely.

And another question, does the Force choking stop once the holo is turned off?  I'm just imagining some officer being like,

“Milord, we weren’t able to—ackackack—”  Okay, I've had enough of this shavit!  *fumbles around but manages to turn off comm*  Whew, problem solved.  Temporarily.  Well, kriff. Guess it’s time to start reading up on defection options.

Art #1 for the Vaderkin Creative Exchange 2024! For @unlikecharlie; thank you for the prompt, I really enjoyed doing this one!

Done in watercolor on hot-pressed paper, with some white Derwent Inktense on the left where the clouds were being difficult. Inspired in part by a favorite picturebook from my childhood, and my mom's, called "The Winter Picnic."

Missing Pieces No More

Trying something new, thought I'd do a fluffy ROTJ fix-it oneshot. Excerpt below!

“No, you're coming with me.  I'll not leave you here.  I've got to save you!”

Anakin looked up at Luke with mingled pride and sorrow.  “You already have, Luke.  You—”

“Luke!” an unfamiliar voice shouted.

Luke looked back over his shoulder to see an old soldier in the green of a Rebel unit hurrying across the hangar bay toward them.  Instinctively, he leaned over his father in a defensive attitude, reaching to his waist for a weapon that wasn’t there.

“It’s okay!” he told the soldier.  “He won’t hurt you!”

“I know, kid.”  The soldier clapped a reassuring hand to Luke’s shoulder before turning to his father.  “Another close one, eh, General?”

Awakening | AO3

Once, he had a blazing furnace heart. It has lain cold for many years, filled only with a burning frost. Once, a dead-star dragon dwelt within the furnace. It has slept these many years, and he has existed in its still, inky shadow.

No longer. The dragon stirs, awakened by the cries of the two apprentices. All things must die, but these are his apprentices, and they must live. A spark floats up from somewhere deep within. The dragon coils and hisses. The spark catches. The furnace ignites.

This is how the Emperor falls.

Aka, the one where Ahsoka and Starkiller stage an intervention.
