DIN D.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎PADMÉ A.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎✶ ࿐ ˚ . ˋ ♡‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎" YOU HANDLED THAT WELL. "

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she almost huffs, a sort of laugh that lingers in the air around them before falling into the silence, rolling with the motion of her head against the wall behind her.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the exhaustion that settles in their features washes over like a violent wave, pulling through her joints and pounding in her head.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎@satellitewar speaks in a tone that acts as a reminder of the disconnect between who they were and who they are‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎––a part of them even speaks lowly, harsh criticisms in their own head for their slow reaction times‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(an outcome of years of pain, an outcome of age‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she once was so bright and fast, constantly mocking the veil between alive and dead by her very existence).

" you're not so terrible yourself. "‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a quick eye peers open, chest rising and falling as slowly veins start to feel closer to ivy ridden stone of their old home planet, but none the less, she smiles.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎" would you give me a minute to gather myself? "‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's not worded as a demand, but sits somewhere near it, allowing her spine to press forcefully into the wall behind her‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(fighting the urge to let their knees collapse‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎––a fear that once they're down, it may take a moment to get back up).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎" i didn't think we drew too much attention to ourselves‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎... "‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎again she laughs, quick, forced.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎" clearly i was wrong. "

[hereconduct]

this already happened. but not like this. from 11 to padmé 🫢

"doctor?"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎their tone is empathetic,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎with the lingering curiosity that had her watched with adoration when she was only a child.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the picture of sophistication–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the future queen.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎only this time is that curiosity not pigeonholed into expectations‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎plans to keep a fourteen year old safe,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎now that questioning lingers on their tongue with an intertwined excitement that borders on selfish.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the doctor's features,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the doctor's tone,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it should concern them‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎maybe if they were more scared of demise it would,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎but there is no threat,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎nothing big enough,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎to scare her–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎if this moment should bring as much worry that is etched into @denouemente's shoulders,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎cheeks‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎eyes,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it doesn't scare them one bit).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"what do you mean?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎is this not the planet you spoke of?"

her tone remains valiant,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎eyes glancing over the crowds of celebrating people,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎hugs‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎kisses‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎friends holding onto each other like they thought they wouldn't before.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's a beautiful sight to be seen,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎one that tugs at her heart in a way she cannot articulate.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's all beautiful‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎yet there's a somberness that befalls those around,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎one that feels unintentional,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎as if a collective loss that cannot be named has landed on their shoulders...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎now falls upon padmé's.

she isn't scared,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she's hurt‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎aching,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎yet she can't articulate why.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎each glance at another face bringing them closer‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎closer to forgetting how to breathe.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the excitement that they had upon landing has started to fade now that he has brought attention to the slightly greyscale of such a bright scene.

"we're not supposed to be here are we?"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎tone falls flat‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎for a moment she lets her eyes shut,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎hoping that not seeing will wipe away the sickness that slips up her throat‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎into her chest.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the feeling is so painfully unfamiliar.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎when eyes open back up,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎they lock onto the doctor because it's easier that way,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎its easier to focus on that one thing,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎on this one person that she trusts than to the happily somber folks who dance around them with cheerful tone.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"why is it hurting me to be here?"

[denouemente]

why are you so happy? it's an odd question, they think, one they don't get asked all too often. the doctor accepted long ago, with another person in the TARDIS, his happiness and safety are second. padmé was different in a lot of ways from the other people they'd traveled with — they weren't selfish, or cowardly, or cruel. she was kind, intelligent. she cared. they turn to look at @hereconduct, a crooked smile on his face as his hands rest on the levers of their ship's control panel.

“ why am i so happy? ” he repeats, turning to look at them with his hands on his hips. he wondered if she knew just how much he cared for them — obviously, they knew some. against his better judgment, he allowed himself to love them, more than he had for the typical traveling companion. it would destroy him one day. it would absolutely destroy him. but for now, they let themself be happy. “ isn’t it obvious? ” they walk over to her, a goofy grin on his face. “ i’ve been around for a long, long time, padmé. i’ve seen the whole of the universe, and she’s seen me — ten different versions, each with a different face. and those faces saw loads of other faces, and traveled with some of those faces. over my nine hundred and fifty years, i can’t recall a face that has made me quite so happy as yours. ” he takes a step closer to them, resisting each and every urge to just close the gap between them. not yet. “ it’s like you’re made to see the universe too. and it makes me happy. ” he finally leans forward, pressing a quick kiss to their lips before spinning back around to the control panel. “ right then! i was thinking, how much do you know about earth history? and, how do you feel about boats? have i got a doozy for you, senator. now, hang on! ” and away they go.

[varpusvaras]

So Palpatine is found out to be the Sith and to having been playing the war on both sides.

The Senate is furious. They want to know how no one caught this earlier. They cannot admit that they didn't see anything, either, and were fully on board with almost everything Palpatine had said and done before. They cannot admit that they had been in the wrong.

They try to blame the Jedi. Some of it sticks, but not permanently, because the Jedi are like yo bro wtf we were on the battlefields for 99 percent of the time, we didn't have the time to stand there and stare at him, so they need to find even more scapegoats.

They turn to look at the Guard.

It's their job to protect the Republic! How did they not notice! They must've been in on it!

The Guard is like ????? okay sir first of all, we were too busy to be crawling around in the prisons and on the lower levels to ever even talk to the Chancellor during our entire lives, we weren't that important

But one of you has been reporting to the Chancellor. Doing his datawork for him. He must've noticed! How could he have not! Who was this one Guard!

It's Commander Fox.

The Senate wants to take Fox to the courts. But he is not there. The Guard goes Commander Fox who? Never heard of him. Are you sure that it's not just some ploy made by the Sith? Maybe he's someone who is just impersonating a Guard or something, we don't know. We have never had a Commander by that name in the Coruscant Guard

They interrogate the entire Guard for days, weeks. They all just say that there has never been a Commander Fox in the Guard. No one can find him. Commander Fox has never been seen without a helmet by anyone who is not a clone. They cannot verify who he is, if he is trying to hide among the other Guards

The Senate finds out that Commander Fox has brothers outside of the Guard. They bring them in. Cody and the others are just as confused by all of this as the rest of them. They know Fox exists. The Jedi keep reassuring them that everything will be okay if Fox comes forward, so they try to see if Fox is there. He is not. Cody goes to ask Thorn what is going on. Thorn looks him dead in the eyes and says he has never even heard of a Commander Fox before all of this. He just keeps staring at Cody with absolutely no expression when Cody tries to insist. No, never heard of Commander Fox before this. Are you sure you're okay Marshal Commander Sir? You've been in many close calls during the war. That scar looks rather nasty. Must've been quite a hit. Have you ever gone and checked it out? Could be a concussion.

Cody knows that Thorn knows that he got the scar on Kamino. Cody points this out. Thorn continues to look him in the eyes and flat out says no you didn't.

Cody looks at Thorn. Thorn looks at Cody.

Cody gives up.

All the other Guard Commanders say the same. To all of them. So do all the troopers, down to the newest shiny.

The Jedi try to go in and ask. It doesn't work. Their working theory is that being so close to the Sith has made them develope stronger mental shields. Maybe. Anyway no one is saying anything to them either. Yoda thinks this is hilarious. He keeps cackling behind his stick. Mace looks at him like bffr.

The Guard is firm in their stance. Commander Fox does not exist.

The Senate is still in an uproar about all of this. Bail looks at Padmé and Mon and goes you know what? I'm getting a headache from all of this. This is stupid. I'm going home. I suggest that all of you do the same. My wife said that we are renewing our vows and then taking another honeymoon. I'm going now goodbye.

Yeah, sure, Padmé and Mon say. They all pack up their things and go home the next day.

(The Organa family has a beautiful vacation home on the mountains. The sun is shining warmly but there is still snow at this time of the year. Some rare flowers are in the bloom amidst the ice on the rocky sides of the mountain. There's a view for a glacial lake from the front windows. The fire place is lit and the beds are warmed up and have thick blankets on them.

Fox sits in front of the fireplace, being sandwhiched between his wife and husband, and he looks out at the lake and takes a sip from the sugariest cup of hot chocolate that exists in the entire Galaxy.

Commander Fox does not exist.

Fox Organa does.

And he's on a vacation.

Please do not disturb)

[pasukiyo]

pasukiyo’s anakin skywalker masterlist;

— drunk on you | smut

ice skating has been her life for as long as she can remember. she's not sure why her head hasn't been in it lately, and her coach certainly has something to say about it. thank god the cute and awkward journalist anakin was there though, right?

— taking over me | smut

you haven't been able to get your mind off of the handsome jedi knight since the first night you laid with him. and now he's back, but something seems off...

— i end with you | smut, angst

you're too good, too noble. anakin doesn't understand why you feel the need to always protect him when he doesn't need saving. when you get hurt, it takes every ounce of willpower within him to not go insane. you don't seem to understand why he's so doting. you thought you had anakin skywalker figured out...

...but you have no idea how he ends.

— a place in the sea of stars | angst, smut

a life spent in padmé amidala's shadow and never once did she ever think she'd be envious of her sister. that is, until anakin skywalker walks his way into her life and she finds herself praying that one day, he'd look at her the way he does at padmé, that she'll be given a place in the sea of stars, that her destiny will include him.

— the undoing of darkness | angst, smut

sometimes she believes anakin skywalker still exists. darth vader will say that he is no more but she does not truly believe he is gone. after all, anakin once told her that even in death, he would claw his way out of the very earth to find her.

— a million ways to break | smut

after being betrayed and outed by an asshole of a business partner, she wakes up chained and blinded in an imperial ship. she's unsure of the fate her imperial captors have in mind for her, but she's determined to find a way to escape, to be unbreaking and defiant. this doesn't bode very well with her imperial captor with seemingly peculiar supernatural abilities...

[galactic-rhea]

never thought about the vader + obiwan dynamic like that but damn. kind vibe. consider !! (or dont ur decision) if we were to tentatively tie it into the pre-existing canon that instead of the "vader wants to kill obiwan because he blames him and is therefore obsessed with killing him" it could be more. vader is obsessed with kill obiwan BECAUSE of his self-hatred and self-disgust. obiwan (and ahsoka. and rex. and luke and-) is one of the last pieces of Anakin Skywalker alive. he's a living reminder of that pain and who vader couldve been. so the obsession is less With obiwan, then with himself and it turns into this grotesque self-harming violence and obiwan is being sucked into by association. i could also see this applying to vader's fights with ahsoka and luke (the first one not the second). peace and love ur thoughts and art are golden ❤️

Woah thank you! <3

I haven't watched Rebels yet, so I have no idea how the Ahsoka vs Vader fight went (which is why I avoid so hard gifsets with Ahsoka and Anakin 😂😂) but it could be pretty accurate, I suppose!

With Vader, I usually remain on the notion that he's pretty much a husk of Anakin, he lacks any passion at all, like sure he's angry and furious most of the time, and annoyed, but it's like, instead of raging burning fury, it burns like how ice burns, is old and calculated and rootten and it leaves you numb to everything.

In the original trilogy he doesn't seem to deny thaaaaaat hard being Anakin, I mean he does, but like he's just so...idk, he's so "meh" about everything, nothing matters, like instead of going "THAT NAME MEANS NOTHING TO ME ANYMOREEEEEE!!!!" it's more like "-takes away Luke's lightsaber- That name means nothing to me anymore y'know."

"then my father is truly dead"

"ah"

Like he's almost bored, in fact when he kills Obi-Wan he does look almost bored like "wow, this is a lame fight, I'll end it quickly old master" and then he stomps on the robes when Obi-Wan's corpse disappear,,,,like a cat trying to catch a light pointer, and then he just leaves like "whatever idc why this body is gone, i've seen weirder stuff" NKJDFSNJDFSSD

He doesn't even care enough about his self-hatred to like, you know, do something about himself, or like, even kill himself because Palpatine probably doesn't let him die and because he believes he deserves the hell he lives him. He only mostly moves to carry on Palpatine's orders.

So that's mostly what I go by with him, if he's obssesed about anything, is when he learns about Luke, probably. If he wanted to rid off everything about 'anakin skywalker', you would think he wouldn't care about Luke that much because Luke very proudly takes on the name Skywalker (i would say agressively and stubbornly 😆) and he would rather not aknowledge anything about Padmé or why he turned to the dark side, which he probably doesn't admit outwardly, and probably tells himself he doesn't care, but internally is the very reason he hates himself.

He also kept Ahsoka's lightsaber, which, again, is he reaaally wanted to destroy everything that remained of his old life wouldn't fit (again, I haven't watched Rebels so idk if that's brought up in their fight)

He wanted to kill Obi-Wan mostly out of the fact he...kills anything opposing the empire, and the jedi are forbidden now and "I suppose I should want revenge and he's here now".

But yeah, I could see an AU where he does want to hunt down Obi-Wan and it's just an attempt to end what's left of Anakin, and feeling really empty and unchanged if he believes Obi-Wan dead (or actually manages to kill him before ANH timeline). Like there's just quiet silence, and he still feels the same, Anakin's still hasn't been destroyed, and then goes back to his usual misererable apathy.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎@satellitewar.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ –‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎DO YOU TRUST ME? ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❜❜‎

She stares with a kindness, and perhaps some sort of sadness:‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎that is the contradiction of such a woman‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎––both sad and lovely, the two in codependent dissonance, one cannot exist without the other in P.admé's chest.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎It might hurt A.hsoka more than it will help her, to be looked at like something has happened, like they feel bad for the other‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎but between the two of them sits an ocean with unreachable depths, filled with bodies and bodies and memories and more‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(somewhere too in that ocean is him, is A.nakin, waiting for them to return).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎It takes some sort of mindfulness, a self awareness to pull their features into a thin but gentle line:‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎somewhere between serious and kind, empathetic and dependent.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎She outstretches a hand, and places the girl's in her grasp‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(and for a moment she sees that the girl is no longer a girl, but a woman‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎how terrible the guilt feels when she thinks of how much she wanted to stop, to prevent, to keep Ahsoka from harms way).‎

❛❛ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Of course I trust you.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎❜❜‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Her voice is nothing above a whisper, and she gives the slightest squeeze.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛❛‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎I‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎I need to tell you that I'm sorry.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎❜❜‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎There's the slightest quiver in their lips, a gentle sadness that seems it will never let her go, no matter how many years pass‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(there is sadness instilled in the weight of a planet, there is sadness instilled in the souls that seem to be sitting hard on her spine and in her joints ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎/‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she carries them with her so long as it means they still live).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛❛‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎I'm sorry I didn't find you, and tell you I was alive, but Ahsoka,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎❜❜‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎and now her tone gets serious, deep,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎❛❛‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎I trust you completely.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎❜❜

the question she asks is one the doctor has never heard before — when are we? and it makes him break out into a wide, toothy grin. how did you do that? “ we are in the year . . . hold on, let me check. just to be certain. ” he sticks his nose high in the air, then turns back to look at padmé. “ i believe we’re somewhere in the 230s BBY. that is the system this galaxy uses, isn’t it? ” the doctor turns to look at her, that happy and excited look still on their face.

he loved seeing his traveling companion’s reaction to their first location — but something about this time, the fact it’s a place senator amidala knows well and loves, but just a bit different, makes it all the better. they stand in front of her, taking in each and every little detail of their amazement, of their awe. “ how does it make you feel? is it too much? ” he asks, trying to guess how she must feel seeing it all. he tries to imagine how he might feel on gallifrey before he was born — how it might feel to walk amongst other time lords. they’d never do that. they couldn’t will themselves to do so, TO GO TO A PLACE WHERE THE TIME LORDS STILL EXISTED. they’ve been the last for so long, the doctor can’t fathom the idea of being one of many.

“ now, time to stop gawking and look around a bit, eh? ” he pats his jacket, making sure his sonic and psychic paper are still inside before he takes off down the streets. “ anywhere you want to see? anywhere that might not exist anymore? i must admit, i don’t know much about naboo. i’ll be relying on your expertise, senator amidala. ”

how can a place she's known her whole life take her breath away every time she steps foot back in it?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's a question she's been asked her whole life–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a question they've even moved on to ask themselves.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎still,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎whenever she sees the people,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎her people,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎walking about with smiles twisted up on her their lips or the architecture that came from generations long before their own,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's as if they learn how to breathe for the first time.

this moment is no different,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎or maybe it is,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎because instead of having to force an inhale as she steps out of that ridiculous blue box‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(for which she wants to ask for an explanation at some point,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎maybe),‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎they cannot breathe at all.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎body frozen,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎heart racing painfully fast.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎so much beauty to take in all at once.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"oh."‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's all she can let out,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a hand moving to rest on her chest,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she can feel it.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a personal check to test:‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎am i still alive?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎am i truly dreaming?

her eyes scan the crowds.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎patrons dressed in clothing she'd seen as queen in small details on her gowns,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎remnants of the history of naboo that each leader has to carry on their shoulders.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎now it's real,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎it's on the people before her,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the very people they strive to live for.

"when are we?"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎they know naboo like the back of their hand,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎seen in history books the way that their home used to be.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎everything was so close to the same,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎everything was so different.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎there were not words for the beauty that reflected back in the wideness upon her unblinking eyes‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(she remembers now,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎forces herself to blink a few times before snapping her chin in the direction of the doctor,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎cheeks flushed‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎&‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎lips parted like a child excited).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"how did you do that?"

Let It Snow

With the snow falling like a blanket over the yard, Padmé knows her snowbird children will be beyond thrilled to spend their day outside with Anakin, leaving her to enjoy aromatherapy and a good book.

Preview below the cut!

Padmé came up behind her husband, a ceramic mug clutched between her hands while she took another small sip of her morning coffee. He stood in the middle of the large, front picture window, both hands on his hips and staring out at the snow as it fell like a blanket across the front yard.

“You’re really giving off the dad energy this morning, Ani,” she said, stifling a giggle.

Their twins were still tucked away in their bedrooms, and she could only imagine what the reaction was going to be when they woke up and saw the snowfall. They were finally at an age to really enjoy it now that they were a little bit bigger and she wasn’t quite as terrified one of them would slip on a patch of ice and permanently traumatize her and them both. Not that she was sure to be keen for whatever plan her husband would come up with, either. 

She swore the man thought their children were made of steel. And after her fair share of boo-boo kissing when it was nothing more than a softly stubbed toe, she knew that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Anakin looked over his shoulder before turning around. “Just thinking about how I should be out there shoveling already.”

Someday I'll Write It:

Lady Vader Part VII

In the quiet vacuum of space, Chandrila explodes and the galaxy screams.

Over the roaring in her ears, Padmé can’t make out the words, gasps, and cries of the pandemonium all around her. Holding herself together, she cradles her middle, unable to tear her eyes away from the unimaginable newsfeed she can’t bear to watch continuously crawl across the screen. She can’t breathe.  Can’t think.

All she knows is Mon Mothma hadn’t been the only one shouting at the top of her lungs.

Eventually, she loses track of how long she’s stood in horrified silence, and somehow manages to find her way home.

*****

When she arrives, Anakin greets her with terror in his eyes and a tone she’s never heard flavor his voice before.

At least, not ever with her.

“From now on, you need to keep your mouth shut.”

“Anakin,” she whispers, recoiling from the stranger standing where her husband should be.  Confusion and pain bleed across the carpet between them, but he turns away from her, ignoring her heart still begging for his comforting embrace.

Then she sees it. 

The cold sheen of remorse on his unusually pale skin.  The halting way his shoulders rise and fall. His lungs a grief-stricken bellows choking him with his own guilt.  He’s attempting to disappear in plain sight, and the last time he tried to hide his demons from her, she asked…

“What’s wrong, Ani?”

Their apartment recedes into the background, and she swears she can feel the blistering heat of that damned Tatooinian garage again.

“I had to.”

He doesn’t turn around to answer her, though her mind all too easily supplies the way rivulets of tears cascade down his chiseled cheeks.  She wills her feet to move toward him, yearns to hold him together as he’s falling apart, but her limbs refuse, leaden and sinking in unseen quicksand.  History is repeating itself though her wildly jumping nerves warn of a far greater threat this time.

Just as suddenly as he had then, Anakin spins back to her, dismay and defeat and defiance written all over his handsome face.  There’s a dangerous set to his chin and an unnerving quality to his unblinking watery gaze.  Vexation looks dashing on him but not when it looks like this.

“I had to pick. He didn’t give me a choice.” 

He’s haunted, seeing ghosts, the words gushing out of him faster and faster until he’s the one now hemorrhaging all over the floor. 

“It was a test.  He’s getting closer.  He made me pick.  Said it was my choice who to make an example of.”

She wants to say something to soothe the fragmented soul in front of her, but she is paralyzed by the unease spreading along her skin.  Her stunned silence destroys him.

“I had to, Padmé.  I had to.  I’m so sorry, but it was Chandrila because I couldn’t… Oh gods, he knew I wouldn’t…”

Collapsing at her feet, he buries his face into her belly, strangling on the other impossible choice of planet he can’t bring himself to name.  He doesn’t need to.  Her bones turn to ice, and she clings to him as fiercely as he does to her.  The world spins out from under their feet as a devastating realization creeps its way down her spine.

The Skywalkers are no longer untouchable.

Luke: I didn’t have a good day today.

Padmé: oh, my poor baby! Let’s go get you some ice cream!

Anakin: he doesn’t need ice cream, he needs to talk about what hap-

Luke: actually, I think ice cream would help.

Padmé, to Anakin: I know how to take care of my son.

raising an eyebrow at his defensive response, padmè sat calmly in her seat. she had expected as much from a member of the roy family, especially after her previous encounters with them. (nothing would ever erase the memory in her mind of sitting in the limousine with shiv, her father on the phone and his booming voice loud enough to hear from three seats over.) but she remains composed, expression resting neutral as she listens to his accusations. “mr. roy, i assure you that my visit to new york has nothing to do with shiv or your family's business. i am here on official business. as a senator, it's my duty to represent the interests of my constituents and ensure that their voices are heard in washington. and as you well know, waystar royco's actions have had a significant impact on the lives of many americans.” voice steady and measured, padmé refuses to back down. she had come too far to let kendall's attitude get in the way of her objective.

leaning forward slightly, her eyes lock onto the male's — her final attempt of an olive branch. “i want to have a serious discussion about the future of our country and the role that waystar royco can play in shaping it. so, if you're ready to put aside whatever your personal grudge against me is, and work together for the greater good — let's negotiate. please.”

@ritiual / padmé: since when is anything about your family normal?

❝ ha, ha — very fucking funny. ❞ he's not laughing. rather, he's pouting — arms moving to cross themselves tightly over his chest, cerulean gaze drifting to the floor of his office. her sentence reminds kendall of speaking with reporters, a typical topic of conversation revolving around his familial matters. a deep breath is inhaled, a scoff trailing behind before he chooses to speak.

❝ senator amidala, we could sit here all fucking day and talk about the, uh, normalcy regarding my family — but that doesn't explain why you're in new york, or better yet, why you're visiting me. ❞ the last time he spoke with shiv, she'd mentioned potentially helping the young senator once again in the upcoming election. (the youngest senator elected to the united states senate, in actuality, thanks to the helping hand of one siobhan roy.)

❝ let me guess: looking to ride on shiv's coat-tails again for re-election and make waystar royco's life a living hell again? ❞
