point of view

summary: you sneak into your ex-boyfriend's ship with the desperate hope to save your Jedi friends. but you discover more than you bargained for... pairing: seonghwa x reader x chan genre: space opera, romance (?), science fiction, fantasy warnings: morally grey characters, mentions of past crimes (unspecified but we're talking Anakin Skywalker level of crimes), betrayal, cheating (?), kissing, crying, just overall Star Wars setting with no clear-cut boundaries between good and evil author's note: the events are loosely based on certain scenes in Revenge of the Sith and the title is inspired by Ariana Grande's pov word count: 2.3k

The lightsaber glows brighter as you near your destination. All along, you knew it was a bad idea to infiltrate Darth Mars's ship all by yourself. But you have no choice. If you do not confront him yourself, you are afraid that your Jedi friends will be in danger.

Considering your history with Darth Mars, a small part of you still believes that you hold some kind of power over him. He is the one who taught you everything you know now about being a Jedi. He is the one who taught you how to fight, how to defend yourself and how to look after the ones you care about.

So, when he turned to the Dark Side, it was not only your heart that was broken, but also your trust. In him and in everything he stood for. He was the chosen one, for Force's sake...You have to admit, you miss him more than anything. You miss the man he used to be. You even miss your past self. The one who was not haunted by the consequences of his betrayal. The one who still had hopes for a better future for the Galaxy.

"Very foolish of you to come alone," Darth Mars, or should you say, Seonghwa, says, appearing from the shadows.

Bravely, you point the lightsaber at him.

"I taught you better than that," he scoffs.

"Have you?" you attempt to taunt him, because you know your fighting skills are nowhere near his supreme excellency. You can only use your mind and your tongue as a weapon.

"Did you come here to kill me?" Seonghwa chuckles lightly. "Go ahead, then. I don't intend to fight you, of all people."

"I have no intention of killing you."

"Pity. I was beginning to grow tired of it all. Even so, it wouldn't be in your style to kill me while I was defenseless. It wouldn't be honourable," Seonghwa spits the last word out as if it's dirty.

"What do you know about honour? You betrayed us, turning to the Dark Side. And for what? More power? What did you do that for? You left us, Hwa!"

"That's not my name," Seonghwa shakes his head in denial, still hiding beneath that mask. You feel so sad. You wish you could make him see...See how much he hurt you. See you.

You let go of your lightsaber, pulling his mask off.

Oh. His face is not like you remember. Filled with scars and burns and so much pain, as if reflecting the way he changed. Not just on the inside but on the outside, as well. No, you refuse to believe that. Some part of him is still your Seonghwa, the one you fell in love with. The one, that despite everything, you still love.

"Who did this to you?" you ask softly.

"Who do you think? My Master..."

"No, Chan would never...He loved you," you argue.

Chan is the Jedi who taught Seonghwa everything. Just like how Seonghwa taught you, the relationship between Master and Padawan is so special and sacred. But you cannot imagine that Chan would do something like that to Seonghwa.

"Fine, I did it to myself," Seonghwa shrugs. "We had a fight over our...differences. Things escalated and...well, let's just say a planet filled with lava is not a good place for exchanging blows."

You shake your head, still in desbelief. How could this go so far? How did you let it?

"Don't beat yourself up," Seonghwa grins darkly. "This would have happened with or without you."

"I never looked at Chan that way, you know? Not while I was with you, anyway."

"But you do now," Seonghwa states. Not really blaming you, just stating a fact.

"I do," you admit. "But I never stopped thinking about you."

"Not even after everything I did?" Seonghwa murmurs and is that...regret in his voice? You are unsure if he's still capable of that. Or any feeling for that matter.

"Not even then," you sigh.

"Why did you come here, Y/N?" Seonghwa needs to know.

"I came to beg you not to kill my Jedi friends. Leave Chan and the others alone. I would do anything you want. Just let them be."

"Would you stay with me?" Seonghwa tilts his head and in that moment, it's like you're back to when it all started. Deep down, he's still just a boy, desperate to be loved.

"I said anything, didn't I?" you insist. If this means never seeing your Jedi friends again, so be it. At least, they would be safe...Or that's how you delude yourself.

"Very well, then. I won't touch them provided that you don't go back on your word," Seonghwa promises.

You cannot believe it worked. You cannot believe he still cares about you enough to accept this. You never found out why he turned to the Dark Side. Seonghwa was never one to be blindly tempted by power. No, there must have been something else.

"If you wanted to be with me so badly, why did you betray us, then?" you can't go another second without knowing.

"What's the use in telling you?" Seonghwa replies sadly, turning away from you. No, no, he's shutting himself off again. Just as he was beginning to open up...

You grab his wrist as if possessed, forcing him to face you again.

"Please, tell me. I want to understand you," you plead with him.

"You died. You died in my arms and accepting the Sith way was the only way to bring you back to life. If there was another solution, I wouldn't have done this, I wouldn't have left."

"W-what?" you are shaking, not capable of accepting the truth. "I was d-dead?! How did I not know that? How did nobody know?"

"Chan knew," Seonghwa grunts angrily and puts on his mask again. "He insisted on hiding the truth from you. He was certain that if you found out, you'd follow me to the Dark Side...And he couldn't let that happen. Said you have too much potential as a Jedi."

No, no, this can't be right. Truths and lies become blurred in your head as you struggle to decide what to think. Who to trust? Seonghwa? Chan? Yourself? You cannot tell what is real and what is false anymore.

"You don't believe me," Seonghwa guesses correctly. "That's alright. You can ask Chan yourself," Seonghwa tilts his chin forward, as if pointing to something, someone behind you.

In that moment, a bunch of Stormtroopers lead Chan into the room.

"What should we do with this intruder, Lord Mars?" the Stormtroopers ask.

"Leave him here with my other prisoner. I shall question them myself," Seonghwa replies, appearing disinterested. Oh, so you're a prisoner now? Even though you voluntarily offered to stay with him provided that your Jedi friends are safe. You feel so foolish all of a sudden.

The Stormtroopers accept Seonghwa's orders rightaway, leaving the the three of you alone.

"I'll give you two a moment," Seonghwa shrugs carelessly, locking you in the same room with Chan.

For a brief second, you wonder if he did the wise thing. But then you remember, getting on his ship was easy. Getting out? Sounds like an impossible ordeal.

"Chan, what are you doing here?" you ask furiously.

"What does it look like?" Chan replies. "I'm here to rescue you."

"Yeah, and how is that working out for you?" you hiss bitterly. "Now, we're both stuck here instead of just me."

"Did you seriously think I'd let you face him alone?"

"I told you I can handle myself!" you argue passionately. "You always do this. You don't trust me, do you?"

"It's not you I don't trust, it's him around you," Chan cries out in pain.

"Well, I'm not sure I can trust you anymore," you confess.

Chan shrieks back, as if stricken by your words.

"Is it true that I died? Is it true that you knew I died and you kept it a secret from me?" you want to know.

"Listen, I don't know what lies Seonghwa told you but he would have turned to the Dark Side with or without you."

"Funny, I never mentioned that's the reason he went all Sith. You just confirmed it yourself."

Chan gulps nervously, realizing his own mistake.

"How could you, Chan?" you shake your head in disappointment. "I thought you'd never lie to me."

"I just wanted to protect you."

"Protect me?" your eyes widen in disbelief. "From what exactly? 'Cause it seems to me that Seonghwa was the one protecting me."

"And it was wrong! He committed all these terrible crimes just to bring you back. He turned on all his Jedi friends. He turned on me!"

"So, you're saying you'd rather I stayed dead? Is that it?"

"Don't twist my words," Chan closes his eyes, pained to have this conversation.

"You have done that yourself," you murmur, feeling tired all of a sudden and go to the door, knocking as loudly as you can. "I can't stay in the same room with the other prisoner!"

Expecting the Stormtroopers to show up and move you somewhere else, you are taken aback when Seonghwa...well, he's currently looking more Darth Mars, opens the door himself.

"And here I thought I was doing you two lovebirds a favour," he jokes.

"Get me out of here," you respond angrily.

"You're in no position to be giving me orders, sweetheart," Seonghwa chuckles gently. You want to kill him. Or kiss him. You don't know anymore. Everything is so confusing. It hurts so much...

"Get me out of here, please?" you try again, knowing it will infuriate Chan. Oh, how he wishes it was him you were begging. To run away with him suddenly sounds even more imprudent than staying with a Sith Lord.

"Much better," Seonghwa acquiesces, takes you by the arm and leads you somewhere else.

"You'll regret this," Chan warns.

"You'll regret me more," you whisper.

To your further shock, Seonghwa takes you to his chambers. You are uncertain whether he trusts you that much or he's simply confident enough that you won't be able to try anything funny. To be completely honest with yourself, even if you did try something, you would never be able to defeat Seonghwa by yourself. Then again, examples of Padawans beating their Masters are not unheard of...But you are definitely not ready for such a confrontation. Not yet, anyhow.

Not only did you learn that Seonghwa turned to the Dark Side in order to save your life, but you also just discovered that Chan kept that a secret from you. And if Chan knew, then there was a huge chance other Jedi also found out the truth. Chan was never good at keeping secrets from the Jedi. But he seems to be great at lying to you. Thus, everything you ever believed in is put into question. What is right or wrong? What is true or false? What is good or bad? These notions seem so ridiculous to you now that you have no clue what you intend to do next. You can only hope that Seonghwa's sacrifice wasn't in vain. You can only hope to live long enough to find answers for yourself.

"He told you the truth, didn't he?" Seonghwa makes yet another correct guess.

"I tricked him into it," you smirk, somewhat proud of yourself.

"That's my girl," Seonghwa nudges your shoulder playfully.

"What do I do now?" you burst into tears, burying your head in his chest. "Everything I believed in is in shambles. I don't even know if I wanna be a Jedi anymore."

"That's alright. You can always join me."

"Join the Dark Side?" you eye him suspiciously.

"Dark, Light...isn't it all the same?" Seonghwa tilts his head to the side. You hate it, but he has a point.

"Do I even have a choice? You said I'm your prisoner..."

"There's always a choice," Seonghwa insists. "And maybe I'm your prisoner. Did you ever think about that?"

You take off his mask again. He looks away, as if embarrassed.

"Don't hide from me," you beg, placing a hand on his scarred cheek, making him look at you.

"I know I'm not as pretty I used to be..."

"Well, then it's a good thing I didn't fall for your pretty. I like your ugly, too. Wish you could see yourself from my point of view," you insist and kiss him, trying to convey all the mixed up feelings you're experiencing.

Maybe he saved you. Maybe he destroyed himself in the process. Maybe he has the power to destroy you, too. You don't care. Right or wrong, this is where you belong now.

"What do you want me to do with Chan?" Seonghwa asks after a while.

"Are you seriously saying you'd do whatever I asked of you?" you are still shocked to learn how much power you have over him...He may have full control of the Force, but right now, you have full control of him.

"Within limits," Seonghwa replies vaguely.

"Let him live," you reply cleverly. Despite everything that went down, you still care about Chan. Just as how you care about Seonghwa. Your feelings might be irrational. But they're yours. "He might be useful to you one day. Who knows? He might learn to see things from where we stand."

"We? And where would that be?"

"Like you said, Dark, Light...What difference does it make?" you smile at him.

"Hm. I knew you'd get it," Seonghwa embraces you, thinking you're joining his so-called Dark Side.

But there is no such thing. You're on your own side now. And after being lied to and betrayed to by those you considered your closest people, you realize the most important thing. In this Galaxy, you can only trust yourself.

And one day, just like how Seonghwa became stronger than his Master Chan, you are certain you will become stronger than Seonghwa. They both underestimate your power.

It will be their final mistake.

The End

Yandere Anakin Skywalker (Platonic & Romantic Headcanons)

Warnings: Abuse of Power, Violence, Death, Mentions of Choking/Strangulation, Implied Stalking, Psychological Manipulation, Toxic Mindsets.

Based on Clone Wars Anakin.

Platonic:

Anakin has tasted loss one time too many to treat this bond as anything other than a closely guarded treasure, one that he will break a great many rules to prolong. But the restrictive Jedi Order takes every opportunity to remind him: "The Jedi Code comes before friendship." Be that as it may, Anakin considers them family and will now guard them with his life.

If his friend claims someone is harassing them or Anakin witnesses what he considers blatant disrespect, he offers to straighten out the problem in a way that seems like a joke but is deathly sincere. Once the offender suffers a mysterious injury or sudden change of heart, Anakin cannot resist making a cheeky remark that arouses the suspicion of all who hear.

Obi-Wan senses his burning resentment towards the person and confronts him about harbouring forbidden attachments, which Anakin only proves by denying with such fervour. Chancellor Palpatine enables this volatility, pushing Anakin to take whatever extreme measures he feels necessary to exact justice, no matter how much it alienates him from the other Jedi.

If properly motivated, he will defend his friend's honour with a barrage of lightsaber strikes, cruel for a Jedi, or blows with his cybernetic fist at the hapless fool who crossed the line that day. The attack ends when he feels he has made his point and not a second sooner, not one punch less, because Anakin is not afraid to beat some people to death if he is not stopped or given a powerful incentive to restrain himself.

For lesser offences and when the object of his wrath is out of reach, Anakin practices passive aggression. He secludes himself in storerooms to tinker with various machinery, lies about his troubles to anyone who asks but Padmé, and later demands that this offender be shunned and distrusted by his colleagues.

Anakin lends his Padawan Ahsoka Tano a disturbing insight into the brunt of his protective fury when his friend comes under fire, whether from battle droids or Republic officials. He does his best to limit their role in missions he deems dangerous, and his voice of determination to expose and punish the culprit rings out after a threat falls upon them.

He proclaims their innocence in the face of accusations and rages at those who doubt them. Obi-Wan cautions him to have better control over his temper, but Anakin is outspoken about how absurd he finds the charges and will not rest until he has dragged the serpent who wants to scapegoat his friend into the light.

Until the rightful culprit from whom he wrings a confession is dead or rotting in prison, a cloaked menace that assaults and interrogates their known enemies besets the galaxy's underworld. Criminals are Force-choked left and right, while Chancellor Palpatine feeds Anakin's darkest urges after he storms into the Senate Building in search of guidance and validation.

Anakin will not hesitate to take the leaps no one else will when it comes to the special people in his life, and if his friend is a fellow Force user, he will abuse his ability to monitor them in this way. Anakin sees this as ensuring their protection from a hostile world hell-bent on making good people suffer, no matter that his retribution against those who try their luck with his friend grows worse with each passing day.

His perception of them holds more value in his eyes than their true nature. Even if they show a spiteful streak or manipulative tendencies, Anakin has long since convinced himself of their admirable character and springs into action to help them whenever possible. Perhaps he trusts them to make the right decisions after fighting together in the war, but Anakin tends not to think twice about the morally questionable actions they take on or off the battlefield.

Palpatine notices and exploits Anakin's willingness to bend and break the rules for someone, pulling some strings to put Anakin's friend in perpetual danger. He uses his network of cronies to force Anakin to make uncomfortable choices, such as sacrificing the life of another for his friend, which strains his other relationships and reflects poorly on the Jedi.

Romantic:

Every time some piece of scum manages to wound his partner, Anakin relives the agony of his mother's death and drowns in the fear that he will once again fail to save those closest to him. This desperation drives him to steamroll over entire battalions and lay waste to anyone who tries to dispute his right to act, Jedi or Sith. For Anakin, losing another person he holds dear is far more frightening than any punishment the Jedi Order could mete out.

Suppose he is indicted on war crimes or threatened with expulsion from the Order for leaving a trail of severed heads and limbs on his unauthorised journey to rescue the partner he is not allowed to have. In this case, Anakin calls the Jedi Council blind for not seeing things from his perspective and understanding why he had to defy orders and cut down that Separatist sympathiser.

Chancellor Palpatine informs Anakin that the Council must not trust him if it disregards his argument so thoughtlessly. On the other hand, he commends Anakin's resolve to fight for his emotions rather than against them. Palpatine even encourages him to follow his anger to its natural conclusions when he spots his partner in trouble, which nurtures further conflict in Anakin as the Jedi Order insists he does the opposite.

Anakin believes he is partly responsible for his mother's death. He blames himself because, as his guilty conscience tells him, he left her behind to pursue his own goals and returned only with weakness and insufficient urgency to help her. As a result, Anakin struggles with the lingering paranoia that he will make the same mistake twice when he cannot readily locate and confirm his partner's safety.

On the battlefield, Obi-Wan is one of the few people who can successfully talk Anakin out of putting the entire mission on hold until he finds them. On starships, clone troopers obey without question when General Skywalker gives the order to leave the room while he tortures a prisoner of war for information on their whereabouts and health.

Between missions, Anakin reaffirms that he values this relationship above all else in the galaxy, even promising to abandon the Order if his involvement in it becomes too great a hindrance. He fights for his comrades more than he fights for some grand peace, and if the options are honouring the Jedi Code or keeping his partner out of danger, Anakin will maim and intimidate his way to victory.

In his younger, more impulsive hours, he gave little thought to who might see his brazen displays, rushing to embrace his partner after long separations. As the war progresses, he grows more adept at hiding his affections from the stoic eye of the Council, even though his frustration at this leads him to arrange secret meetings and become increasingly defensive towards anyone who suspects the truth.

Of all his confidants, Anakin trusts no one more than his partner, but Captain Rex is a close second. Respecting his orders to comb the area whenever they stray a little too far from Anakin's field of vision, Rex does his part to watch over one of his commander and friend's favourite people. He makes no judgements of his own, though he does mediate between Anakin and other Jedi who might tell Anakin to cut his losses.

The clones under his command are not inclined to rebel when Anakin orders them to round up the populace he believes is involved in his partner's disappearance. Some troopers may be a little shaken when he starts strangling civilians with the Force until someone gives a lead; however, their training has taught them to follow all orders, even if it means raiding buildings and dragging people to face an enraged Anakin.

Too sick of the Council's deception to subject Padmé to the same backstabbing treatment, Anakin one day broaches the idea of bringing a third person into the relationship. He pretends not to have anyone specific in mind so that he can dismiss it as simple curiosity, only to betray his eagerness when Padmé asks for details.

She wants to see him happy, so she agrees to Anakin spending more time with them. However, Anakin applies a double standard: he would never tolerate Padmé or his partner being interested in someone else, let alone inviting that person into the relationship. This takes time and attention away from his emotionally starved self and implies to his abandonment-fearing mind that he is not good enough.

Trick-or-treat! Do I need to do anything else?

Favorite clone? Fives, always 💙

The door opens, and you are welcomed by an eerie, purple glow, whilst mist starts creeping up towards your feet. A rather tired looking man steps forward, and before he addresses you, he rubs his temples. You notice a ‘5’ tattooed on his right one. “Must be the sixth time I see you here tonight,” he mumbles, making you raise an eyebrow to show your confusion. What is he talking about? You're fairly sure you haven't been to this door before. When you start hearing crashing sounds coming closer from inside the house, you take a few cautious steps back. “Kriff, not again,” he sighs, before one tentacle wraps itself around his waist. When he gets pulled back into the house, another tentacle emerges, only to slam the door right shut. Welp, that's a door you won't visit again.

Relive your (trick or) treat again and again and again below the cut:

Before I Fall (One-Shot)

For @tealmisthams

I struggled a bit with this one (I hope it didn't get too repetitive) and I hope it isn't too dark, but well, I guess some Halloween stories are a tad dark ;) Happy Halloween! <3

Summary: The Umbaran Campaign is taking its toll, but apparently, it's not Fives’ time to die - not yet anyway Rating: Mature (SFW but check tags) Tags: canon-typical violence, angst, time loop, (reliving) death, Umbara arc Words: 2.462 Characters: Fives, Hardcase, Rex, Jesse, Dogma; mentions of Odd Ball, Pong Krell, Anakin Skywalker Read this one-shot here on AO3

The hostile terrain was uneven and the fog made it impossible to see the surface. Groups of strange ferns covered it, their curled heads illuminated by the blaster fire. As they advanced, the clone troopers were focussed on the hidden enemy in front of them, the natives honouring their nickname by staying almost completely concealed in the shadows. And Umbara was covered in a shroud of shadows.

Panicked cries caught Fives’ attention. It wasn’t like the shouting he was used to on the battlefield, so in a whim of the moment, he decided to look around to see what caused it. And when he did, he noticed how a tentacle had wrapped itself around a brother, waving him around like a Jedi wielding a lightsaber. Even more tentacles emerged from the fog, grasping around greedily, reaching for more troopers to get a hold on.

Before he could fully comprehend what was happening, he felt how one such tentacle slithered around his waist before tightening its grasp. Fives tried loosening it, but before he could do anything, he was being lifted from the ground, being toyed with like some meat puppet. The agonising scream coming from one of his brothers getting eaten told him this creature was ready for a meal - and their plastoid armour wasn’t going to decrease its appetite.

He quickly grabbed a thermal detonator from the container on his back, ready to activate it, but a sharp, sudden movement from the tentacle made it fall from his hand. He reached for it, but he was too late; he watched how it disappeared in the fog below before he closed his eyes. In a moment of tranquillity, the images of a Rishi eel flashed before his eyes, before the vixus swallowed him whole.

All went black, the darkness on Umbara proving him fatal.

---

But somehow, the light returned.

The hostile terrain was uneven and the fog made it impossible to see it. Groups of strange ferns covered it, their curled heads illuminated by the blaster fire. As they advanced, the clone troopers were focussed on the hidden enemy in front of them, concealed in the shadows. And Umbara was covered in a shroud of shadows.

When he heard the panicked cries, when he turned around and noticed the cluster of tentacles, when one of them slithered around his waist and tightened its grasp, he was plagued by an eerie feeling. A feeling like he had been in an oddly familiar situation before. And there was something he had to do differently this time.

So this time, he steadied his grasp around his thermal detonator, being able to activate it and toss it at the three-pronged claw that was supposedly the creature’s tongue. The vixus caught it, accepting it like it was an offering, and swallowed it - right before it detonated. An explosion erupted from the creature’s mouth, and when it was eliminated, Fives noticed the tentacle around him loosen before he fell to the ground.

A trooper helped him back to his feet, bumping him against his arm in deference. “Nice work, Fives,” he shot at him, whilst Fives shook his head in an attempt to return to reality. “Hardcase, right?” he addressed the trooper, before the latter replied: “Yeah. That’s what they call me.”

The Umbaran ambush that followed was a close call, but they were quick to respond. Rex’s requested air strike came right on time, and not too early; they had just moved off the ridge when Odd Ball and his bombers laid it in ruins. “Heh! That’ll teach ‘em,” Hardcase remarked as they watched the ridge burn.

It wasn’t long before a LAAT gunship arrived, carrying the infamous General Krell. The foreboding feeling in Fives’ guts told him nothing good would come from this, and it was warranted when Krell came to call General Skywalker away - and the conversation that followed, which showed their temporary new General didn’t hold clones in high esteem.

Which showed when Krell changed Skywalker’s plans, and made them engage in a full-frontal attack. The main route to the city was exposed, granting them little cover from any possible incoming fire. Of course Fives had expressed his dissatisfaction about the change of plans towards Rex, towards anyone within earshot even, but Rex’s loyalty to command was unyielding.

Fives’ fears became reality when they ran into the enemy traps. The harrowing cries of his brothers being torn apart by the exploding mines made his heart ache, and just when he felt one of the contraptions activate below his own feet, he could see that shuttle on Lola Sayu as a fiery blaze engulfed it.

Like he was engulfed now, and everything went black.

But again, there was light.

The terrain was uneven and the fog made it impossible to see it. Strange ferns covered it, their heads illuminated. As they advanced, the clone troopers were focussed on the enemy in front of them, concealed in the shadows. And Umbara was covered in-

Shadows. This all felt too familiar. Fives advanced like before, his mind troubled by predictive thoughts, knowing where to thread carefully and where to step it up a notch. His aim when he threw his thermal detonator at the vixus’ tongue was getting more confident, and again, he was able to eliminate it. He scratched his neck in confusion when Hardcase helped him back to his feet. Why did it feel like this had already happened?

Again, they were ambushed by the Umbarans, and after Rex’s requested air strike laid waste to the ridge, General Krell arrived to take over command. Fives was being more careful now, and when they ran into enemy traps on the main route, he was quick enough to find them a safer path by using his mine sweeper to detect the explosives. He wasn’t going to get himself blown up again.

The next threat wasn’t far off. Fives was standing right behind Rex when General Krell ordered them to advance through the narrow gorge instead of engaging in a closer recon first, like the captain suggested. Krell ordered them forwards anyway, and like the good soldiers they were, they followed the order. But Rex’s loyalty to Krell’s questionable tactics was starting to drive a wedge between Fives and the captain.

When Fives started going against Rex’s argument in front of the troops, the captain finally called him to his side for a one-to-one conversation. “It would help if you’d ease their minds,” Rex pleaded to him as soon as they were out of earshot. Fives knew the captain understood his reasoning, but the importance of Rex’s tone told him he wasn’t going to yield anyway. “Oh, you mean coax them into following another one of Krell’s suicide missions? We lost a lot of men last time,” came his less subtle response.

Rex stepped closer, and whilst pointing a cautionary finger towards Fives, made his point. “Krell may do things differently, but he is effective in getting them done. He’s a recognised war hero.” But Fives had more to say to that. “He may have had some victories, but have you seen his casualty numbers? More troopers have been killed under his command than anyone else,” he spat in Rex’s face, not ready to change his opinion on the General. Rex had to understand their position somehow?

With a deep sigh, the captain moved away slightly. “That’s the price of war, Fives. We’re soldiers. We have a duty to follow orders, and, if we must, lay down our lives for victory.” Rex turned around, ready to rejoin the troops, but Fives grabbed his arm to regain his attention. “Do you believe that? Or is that what you were engineered to think?” Rex looked at him from over his shoulder. “I honour my code. That’s what I believe,” he said calmly, before shrugging Fives’ hand from his arm and walking off.

So they progressed without any further discussion, to Fives’ frustration. He felt like bait for droids out there, except they weren’t fighting clankers this time. He watched in horror how their brothers were evaporated by the Umbaran weaponry, and it made him question Rex’s adamant loyalty towards Krell - and not for the last time.

It took too many losses before Rex finally came around. “I’ve got an idea,” he determinedly proclaimed, before elaborating his plan. Fives started getting hopeful again; they had to take matters in their own hands, instead of functioning as the cannon fodder like Krell intended. “I have a mission for you,” Rex finally shot at Fives from over his shoulder.

His mission with Hardcase proved less problematic; he took confidence in finding his own way through the terrain, infiltrating the airbase, making his own decisions instead of blindly following orders. Orders he didn’t stand by. His confidence kept growing when they were able to confiscate the Umbaran starfighters. Not only were they able to save their battalion from a tight spot down the gorge, Fives was able to round up Jesse and Hardcase for another rebellious mission - one that yet again went against Krell’s direct orders.

“Hardcase! No!” Fives tried urging Hardcase back into his fighter, but the trooper had his mind set on his own plan. “You’ve disobeyed enough orders today, sir. Follow this one, get out of here!” Hardcase shouted at him, before advancing. Fives could only watch in dread as his brother disappeared out of sight, before focussing his attention back on the advancing droids. “If I know Hardcase, we better leave,” Jesse warned Fives, but his mind was clouded. Clouded by the losses of brothers he kept on experiencing.

He hesitated a moment too long. It wasn’t that he did not believe Jesse; it was just he wasn’t ready to lose another vod. And in his hesitation, when Hardcase made his move, in a moment of peace of mind he watched how the explosion crept up to him, and it reminded him of that outpost back on the Rishi Moon. When the relentless sea of flames finally reached him, the brightness blinded him before the end.

Dissent led to disintegration which led to a black void surrounding him.

---

But also light. Again..

The terrain was uneven and foggy. Strange ferns covered it. As they advanced, the clone troopers were focussed on the enemy in front of them. Umbara was covered in shadows.

Fives sighed as he restarted - or continued - the Campaign. His aim was more confident than ever when he threw the thermal detonator. He was more careful than ever when sweeping those mines. He was quick enough to follow behind Jesse this time. He made it out, returning to the airbase with Jesse - but without Hardcase. His heart was heavy, and when Krell ordered their confinement, he was fuming. Hardcase had sacrificed himself in order to save a lot of troopers on the surface, and this was how they were rewarded?

“Will the prisoners request to be blindfolded?”

Fives and Jesse didn’t respond, but their bitter expressions told Dogma enough. “I’ll take that as a no,” he concluded, before turning around towards the firing squad. “I hope you can live with yourself, Dogma,” Fives spat at him, speaking his name with contempt, before facing their demise - at the hand of their brothers.

“Never thought we'd go out this way,” Jesse muttered at his side, slightly hanging his head. Fives looked in front of him, not averting his gaze from the firing squad as his brows were wrinkled in a harsh frown. Dogma ordered the squad to aim. Something gnawed at Fives’ mind, like he was supposed to say something, like there was a way to prevent this. But his mind lingered for too long, and before he knew it, Dogma gave the decisive order.

“Fire!”

And like before, everything went black.

---

Light. Kriff, not again..

Terrain. Fog. Ferns. Enemy. Shadows.

Yes, yes, he had been there. He groaned as he advanced anyway, reliving the moments where he had previously died again and again.

Keep your grip and time your throw. Watch your step and use that sweeper. Mourn your loss but do not linger. Mind your attitude but do speak your mind.

He couldn’t keep doing this. There had to be a way to finish this, to snap out of it. And he did this time.

“Wait!” he shouted, looking in the barrels of the DC-15 blaster rifles their brothers were aiming at them. “This is wrong. And we all know it. The general is making a mistake, and he needs to be called on it. No clone should have to go out this way! We are loyal soldiers. We follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men. We must be trusted to make the right decisions, especially when the orders we are given are wrong.”

Dogma didn’t hesitate for a moment, ordering another “Fire!” yet again. But this time, the only darkness came from Fives squeezing his eyelids tightly shut. When he opened his eyes, this Umbaran nightmare wasn’t starting all over again; he was still looking at the firing squad in front of them. Jesse was still breathing at his side. “What.. what happened?” Dogma shot out in confusion, before their brothers tossed their rifles to the ground in protest.

Rex finally stepped forward, looking Dogma directly in the eye as he addressed him. “They’re doing the right thing, Dogma, because if this is how soldiers are rewarded for heroic actions, then one day, every man in this battalion may face a similar fate.” He turned to the troopers behind them before ordering: “Take off their binders.”

The remainder of the Campaign went by in a haze. There were several perilous moments where Fives thought he had to experience everything again, but he found his renewed faith in Rex made him more confident to get through these horrors. He didn’t want to relive any of this again. The losses of his brothers were devastating enough, but being so conscious about his own deaths was definitely taking a toll on his mind. Dying once was supposed to be enough.

And with the execution of Krell, the darkness of Umbara laid behind them. And someday, this war was going to end. There would be a time without nightmares.

…

The shot to his chest burned through his armour, a scorching pain emerging in his body. He collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. Rex kneeled at his side, a frantic look in his eyes as he put a comforting hand on Fives’ shoulder. “The mission.. the nightmares.. they’re.. finally.. over,” he managed with his last strength, before he took his last breath.

It went dark again; it had been a while.

But this time, the light didn’t return.

This time, he found his peace.

The Princess and the Soldier

Captain Rex was called your sworn protector after a couple close calls but that’s not the only thing he became

A/N:: Basically if Rhaenyra was a space Princess but without the incest

TW: still birth and dying during birth

“Princess this my third in command Captain Rex,” Anakin Skywalker said pointing towards the blond stoic Captain,” Princess, it is an honour protecting you from harm” he bowed his head,” I will be staying for a while Princess, just to make sure my Captain is settling in well,” Anakin said,” Be my guest General Skywalker” you hummed,” Captain, do you want to take a walk with me? Just so we can start to know each other better” you suggested,” If that’s what you wish Princess,” he said, he held out his hand for you to take,” Don’t stay too long, we are a council meeting soon,” your father said making you sigh, you nodded and grabbed Rex’s hand as you slowly made your way down the stairs.

“So tell me about your adventures with General Skywalker, I heard rumours about him being not like other Jedi's” Rex laughed at the statement,” He truly isn’t but that’s what I admire about him, I trust the General with my life.... even though he likes to throw me around like a Ragdoll at times” you laughed at the end,” Tell me about your favourite adventure,” you asked folding your arms behind your back,” You are quite curious,” he said with a lifted brow, you shrugged in response,” I don’t have many opportunities to see outside this planet,” you said honestly,” Well the first time we meet, he saved my life actually. I came fresh out of Kamino, and they directly send me out to Geonosis to help the Jedi, they were impressed with my resolve and granted me Veteran Status within the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi High Council assigned me with General Skywalker. I was second in Command of the 501st”,” But the General called your third?” you asked confused,” That was before the General got a Padawan. Anyway, our first Battle was in Arantara. I don’t remember much, only that we got surrounded by Clankers, and the next I knew was the General looking down at me. I was surprised as during my whole training time, we were always told that we are replaceable, that we are clones which only have one purpose which serves the republic o matter what cause” you frowned at the statement given,” That sounds like slavery”,” A few clones saw it that way as well and decided to desert but with General Skywalker I never saw myself or never felt like a slave, he saw the surprise on my face and began reassuring me that I will be fine and he started to blame himself, that he should have been charged in first, as in his words a true leader always leads from the front. He’s not the only one to think like that either General Kenobi, General Windu and General Pro Noon among others see us as equals. I trust General Skywalker with my life as I know that I mean something to him, I'm not just a number to him” he finished,” I see” you said,” Now Princess, tell me about you”,” What is much to tell Captain, I’m a Princess of a large Planet, the only child he has, which unfortunately turned out to be a girl” you said,” Why, Unfortunately?”,”No woman sat on my planet thrown, and the council would rather burn it to the ground than see me on it”,” I’m sorry to hear that”,” It’s fine, mother is Pregnant at the moment, Father is already saying it’s a boy. He looks so happy stroking her belly, I wonder if he was like that when she was pregnant with me, where he thought he had an heir” you said staring blankly into the air,” He loves you, you are his daughter” Rex said,” He needs an heir, not a daughter” you sighed,” I heard rumours that Dragon’s life on this planet” a soft smile spread on your lips of the mentions of Dragon’s,” Come, I show you the rumour”

You guided Rex back to the Castle but instead of walking into it, you walked towards a small cave beside it,”I didn’t see that when I walked in”,” That’s the point Captain” you smiled, once walking in you were greeted with the Keepers bowing their head at you,” Bring me Neilu” you said making the elder nod,”Aōhoso dārilaros (As you wish Princess)” he said before leaving,” What language was that?” Rex asked,” It’s the language of my ancestors, we mostly speak it to our Dragons or we used to. Centuries ago we had many now, we only have a hand. Mine and my Father’s and a couple of wild dragons, an egg is being incubated for my brother at the moment”,” Where did the egg come from?”,” The Dragon Keepers get them from the wild dragons, not many dragons manage to hatch not even in the wild” you explained, soon the familiar sound of heavy footsteps filled your ear,” Neilu” you gasp turning towards the keeper and the red-scaled beast,” Nyke missed ao (I missed you)” you patted his long neck making him grumble,”Bisa iksis rex, ziry's iā raqiros, sīr daor jorrāelagon naejot ipradagon zirȳla (This is Rex, he's a friend, so no need to eat him)” you said noticing Neil’s gaze towards the clone captain,”Rex, come hear” you gently grabbed Rex’s hand and placed it on Neil’s neck, the dragon still keeping an eye out for the stranger,” I can feel his scales through my gloves” he chuckled making you smile,”Neilu hatched a couple days after I was born, he spends most of his time in my crib where we bonded when he grew too big for the castle I spend my nights in the Dragon-pit, I would sneak back in the morning hoping my mother won't find out, she did find out as Dragon’s have a strong smell, I didn’t notice it as I got used to the smell already” you smiled at the memory, Rex smiled down at you, he than turned back to the large beast in front of him, he was the size on an x- wing, besides the scales Rex could also feel the heat sinking through his gloves,”Do you want to see him feed?” Rex gulped,” We won’t feed you to him” you chuckled,”maghagon mirri parklon syt zirȳla (bring some meat for him)” soon a couple of Keepers walked in with a dead pig, they laid it a couple feet in front Neilu and walked away quickly. Rex notices the Dragon's stance shifting, he could feel the muscle tighten and the heat in his neck becoming stronger,” Dracary’s” you said and with that, the dragon spat fire at the dead animal in front of him, after finishing burning it Neilu speeded towards it and began ripping into it,” Princess, your father requested your Presence” a servant said making you nod.

“Y/N, what took you so long,” your father said as you walked in, Rex following close behind,” I’m sorry father, I lost track of time” you bowed your head,” Spending time with that red beast?” one Lords asked with his nose scrunched up,” I was showing Captain Rex the symbols of our house,” you said grabbing the jug of wine,” Let her enjoy it, she has no duties so far,” a different lord said as you began filling the cups on the table,” She’s still a Lady of royal blood and hanging out with those stinking scaly beast isn’t becoming of someone her status,” the first Lord said placing his hand on top of the cup stop you from filling it,” Lord Barrin, I appreciate your concern about my daughter’s status but having a strong bond with the symbol of houses are vital to our family, but I do agree, y/n my dear you smell,” he said making your face turn a shade darker,” I’m sorry my King” you bowed your head and placed the hug back on the table and sat down beside your father,”Our Queen is giving birth to our new heir soon, I want to propose that the tourney in honour of the child”Lord Barrin said making your father smile,”I like that idea, let’s do it. Make it quick, my wife is close to giving birth” he smiled happily, he looked at you,”Aren’t you excited? We be finally having an heir soon” he patted your hand making you nod with a fake smile etched on your face,”Of course father”. Rex watched the interaction between the two of you, he could feel the sadness radiating off you, he smiled at you when you turned to him, you gave a small smile back but he knew it wasn’t as genuine as before.

“Are you okay?” Rex asked after the two of you left the meeting,” How I said before, my father only cares about an heir. I am used to this, I hope the Tournament will be exciting” you said changing the topic,” What’s a tournament?” Rex asked with furrowed brows,” It’s just where Lords and Knights from different parts of this planet and others come and knock each other off of their beasts. Sometimes they are held to find a suitor for a daughter or like in our case for the birth of a son” you shrugged,” They are quite violent, sometimes the fall on the ground kills them, sometimes a one-on-one battle happens which often leads to horrible injuries and death” Rex lifted his brows in surprise,” Rich people are something else” he shook his head and chuckled,” Yeah, I guess we are. I want to visit my mother, wait here” you said stopping in front of large wooden door,”As you wish”.

“Oh dear daughter is paying me a visit” your mother said fanning her self,” You look thread full” she rolled her eyes as you sat down beside her,” Aren’t you are a charming one, soon enough you be in this position”,” I rather join the Jedi” you mumbled making your mother scoff,” This is our battle field my child, sooner or later you will see this as well” she said making you humm,” Did Father tell you for a buyer already?”, your mother cocked her head,” That’s why your doing the tourney right? To find a good husband or should I say a rich an powerful one”,” Y/N, you are of age which means you need to get married and there are many young Lords out there”,” But also a plenty of old once’s who want me for our dragons”,” Talking about dragons, take a bath you reek of dragon” she said scrunching up her nose,” I am on my way mother. You will be already right?” you said looking at your mother pained face while she tried to change her position,” It feels like I’m about to give birth to an actual dragon” she said trying to lighten the mood,” Take care” you said with a smile before leaving her room.” Everything okay Princess?” Rex asked adjusting his helmet under his arm,” I am worried about my mother, she looks sick. I am worried that my father obsession with having a boy will bring her to an early grave” you sighed wiping your hands on your dress,” But I know he needs a male heir, so what can we do” you shrugged as the two of you began walking.

A couple days later the tourney for your brother and to find you a husband began, ironically your mother started her labour today.” Rex, how are things going?” an alien girl said walking towards you and the Captain,” Commander” he said shaking her hand,” Princess this my Commander Ahoska Tano, the Padewan I told you about”,” Ahh, nice to meet you Commander Tano” you said bowing your head,” Nice to meet you to… your highness” she said unsure how to address you,” You can call me y/n if you like”,” Than you can call me Ahoska ” she smiled,” Why are you here I might ask? It’s not because you want my hand in marriage?” you joked,” Actually I am, I try my best winning these tourney’s for you” she joked back making you giggle,” No, your father invited Skyguy-“ you looked at Rex for some clarity,” General Skywalker” he mouthed making nod and turn back to Ahoska who was still talking,” and Obi Wan with their Commander’s, he said besides finding you a suitor it’s a celebration for your brother” you nodded,” He did go all out”. Ahsoka nodded and nodded towards something in your hand,” What's this for?”,” If someone asks for a favour” Padme's voice said from behind them,” Princess” she nodded her head,” Senator Amidala” you smiled,” A fighter will ask from a lady of their choosing and they be a like a good luck charm” she smiled,” I have one myself” she said holding up a handmade handkerchief,” Do you know by any chance which of these Lords have the biggest castle?” you lifted a brow making Padme roll her eyes at you,” You won’t be sold to the Lord with the biggest castle-”,” But sold to the winner of this tournament” Padme didn’t answer knowing that she can’t say anything that will make this situation better,” Come on Rex” you said walking away,” Why does she need get married?” Ahsoka asked,” She’s a woman on a planet where only males have ruled so far” she sighed,” That’s awful”,” We can’t change this, the Queen is giving birth to what many believe is an heir to the throne-”,” Making y/n useless?”,” I won’t say useless but-”,” she is” Ahsoka finished stalking off leaving Padme stunned,” Lovely conversation you are carrying” Anakin said making Padme jump,”Ani, you scared me” you punched her husband shoulder playfully,” Keep it PG, Obi-Wan is here as well, and many more important Senators” Anakin said formally,”Of course General” she said straightening up her posture,” Why are you dressed like that?” Padme said noticing his get up,”I have enrolled in the tournament dear Senator, I say it would be a great fun” he said with a grin,”Does Obi-Wan know about this?”,”He will once my name is announced. I hope to get your favour Senator” he said cheekily,”What happened to keeping it PG?” she lifted a brow,” True, I see if the Princess would be up to it” he said walking away leaving Padme silent for the third time in a matter of minutes.

You found your seat beside your friend,” There you are” she said,” I haven’t seen you in days, is everything okay?” she asked grabbing your hand,” I’m fine, my brother is being born, my father finally get his heir and I'm getting married off, nothing can be better” you said,” You don’t have to marry anyone who you don’t like you know that right?”,” I just want to ride my dragon and eat a much food as possible. And I want you to be with me throughout it” she smiled at you,” I wish that too but our duties don’t allow for that” she said sadly making you sigh,” I know”,” Is that the clone Captain who is tasked to look out for you?” you nodded,” His name is Rex, he’s great” you smiled,” He’s cute but the one with General Obi-Wan is cuter” she sighed looking at the clone, who face and body wise is identical to Rex but unlike Rex he had striking black hair trimmed neatly and a Nasty looking scar on his left side of his face. He also has a way more serious face on than Rex,” He seems a bit too serious for my taste” you joked,” More for me than” she winked. You looked from the Commander to Rex, he was standing close enough to you, his gaze was on the scene in front of you,” Welcome everyone, this tourney is a celebration of my heir which your Queen is birthing right at this moment if that isn’t a sign I don’t what to tell, but this also a way of seeing suitable suitors my dearest daughter y/” your father shouted gaining cheers from the crowd,” So let this tourney begin”.

You winced seeing a man slam against the cold and dirty ground,”I hate these tourneys, they’re so brutal for what?” you whispered to your friend who nodded in response. The next fighter came from the side and approached the booth you were sitting,” I like to ask for the favour of the lovely Senator Amidala” he said winking at her, she gave a fake smile and handed him the handkerchief,” Surprised no one asked for your favour yet?” your friend whispered into your ear, you didn’t say anything but just watched as his opponent entered the area,” Isn’t that General Skywalker?”,” Unfortunately” Obi-Wan said from behind you.

The General won the battle easily, his opponent was dragged away on a stretcher when the next one came in, a brunette male came ridding on Kaadu which was native to Naboo, he looked around your age, his armour was worn out but he was calm no sign of fear on his relative handsome face,”Senator, do you know who this man is? His ride is a Naboo native animal” you said leaning over your friend to talk to Padme,” Oden, his family have been guards of the royal family for generations. He just finished his knight training” Padme said,” Interested?” she smirked making your cheeks heat up,” No” you shot a quick glance at Rex and back at Padme,” No, just interested as he’s calm for someone who was to battle one of best fighters” you hummed, Oden was set up with Her Lauten, he was 10 years older than you, extremely handsome and cocky, like Oden his family has been part of the Kingsguard for generations.

Oden before the fight began rode over to you,” Can I ask for the favour of the Princess?” he asked, you nodded and walked past Rex who kept a keen eye on you,” Here Lord Oden, please don’t embarrass me, it would look bad on the both of us if you loose with my favour” you joked as you tied the handkerchief around his bicep,” Don’t worry Princess, I won’t lose” he had beautiful eyes, a hazel like you haven't seen before. You then walked back to your seat Rex's hand brushed against your back sending a shiver down your spine,”Rex, who d you think will win this match?” you asked making Rex crouch down beside you,” Oden has your favour Princess, he would be an idiot if lost. If I had your favour I would do anything to win” he said turning red slightly at the end,” That’s lovely to hear Captain” you smiled.

To your surprise, Oden won, even with the underhand tactics used by Lauten,” Congratulations, if I am being honest your win surprised me, Lord Lauten is an exceptional warrior” you mused,” Maybe it’s because of the use of unfair tactics” Oden raised a brow,” Everything is allowed on the battlefield”,” Not really Princess, war crimes exist. Your protect would know about that” he said looking at Rex who was close behind you,” He is right Princess” he said simply,”Well congrats anyway”,”It’s all thanks to your favour” he said tapping the handkerchief on his bicep,” Your being humble Senator Amidala told be about your family history, it’s impressive” you said making his face heat up, you were about say something when you noticed your father leave his seat in a hurry,” Princess is everything alright?” ,” Where did my father go?” you asked,” Princess, your father hurried to your mother bedside, the birth is harder than we thought” a maid said making you nod.

The wind blew in your face, you started at the sight in front of you with a sad expression, your mother nor your brother survived,” Princess, they’re all waiting for you” Rex said behind you,” Rex do you believe that my father found happiness is short minutes my brother lived?” you said lowly, Rex sighed and squeezed your shoulder,” I don’t know Princess”, you looked at your father who looked at the wrapped up corpse of your mother and brother, you looked behind you and saw Padme standing between Obi-Wan and Anakin, she gave you small smile which you didn’t return, you took a deep breath and turned to your Dragon,” Neilu, drac-” the word got caught in your throat, you tried again but nothing came out, a stray tear rolled down your cheek,”Dracary’s” you said suddenly making the she-dragon cock her head at you,”Dracary’s Neilu, Dracary’s” you said more firmly making the dragon move towards the two bodies, setting them on fire in an instant, you closed your eyes at the act, you felt the heat of Neilu’s flame on your skin, and the smell of burning bodies filled your nostril.

“Princess?” a voice said making you turn,” Lord Oden, what a pleasure,” you said wiping a tear from your face,” I’m sorry for your loss, I truly am,” he said bowing his head at you,” Thank you,” you said, you looked past him and saw your father still staring at the now burned bodies of your family,” Please if you excuse me,” you said, he nodded and you walked past him.” Y/n, you don’t need to act tough” Rex said as you stopped far away from the crowd,”I want to be alone Rex,” you said softly,” No you don’t, you need someone but you are just too stubborn and prideful to ask for it” he said, he placed his helmet on the ground and wrapped his arm around you, you didn't fight against his grip, instead, you melted into his embrace,” If only I was born a boy, my mother would be still alive and my father would be happy” you cried into his armour,” But you weren't and that’s okay, we don’t choose our destiny, I didn’t choose to be a fighter for the republic but here I am and I will do my best to protect the citizens of the republic. You will be great in whatever life will throw at you and I have a good feeling about it” he smiled rubbing your head gently, you smiled and looked up at him through your lashes, the sun of your planet illuminated his beautiful brown skin, his eyes which reminded you richest chocolate ever made, his lips looked so soft before you knew you pressed your lips against his. Rex was shocked, he knew he should be pushing you away but he couldn’t, instead, he pulled your body closer to his and kissed you deeper. One of his hands cupped the back of your head while the other held your cheek, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was thinking” you said your face heating up at the action,”I don’t know either” he said, his face becoming darker,” Princess?” a maid called out, you moved away from Rex when she came closer,”Yes, your father calls for you in the Dragon Pit... alone” she said looking at Rex.

“You called for me?” your father turned around and smiled at you,” My dearest y/n, I want to apologise for the years of neglect of you, my wish for a male heir blinded me of you and eventually also killed your mother,” he said his voice cracking,” I should have appreciated you from the beginning” he placed a hand on your shoulder,” Dragon’s and us since the beginning of our race always had a special bond. Mostly the own who wears the crown,” he said touching the gold crown on his head,” Just like you have with your dragon, hatched inside of your cradle, you were only a few days old. She didn’t leave your side until she was to big for the castle. Y/N you are my only heir, a bad time is coming sooner and later and a dragon needs to hold the crown when these times come” he grabbed you by the shoulders and looked you in the eyes,” Dark times can only be helped by the fires of a dragon and their rider who has the blood of old Vulalis flowing through them, you understand me?” you nodded carefully making your father smile.

“We swear allegiance to Y/N of the House L/N, rightful heir to King K/N of House L/N of the Planet Vulalis” the Lords of your planet said together. Most of them had a look of anger or disappointment on their faces. You looked behind you and saw your father with a proud smile etched on his face.

“Congrats Princess, it was an honour to see you crowned heir of this planet,” Oden said approaching you,” Thank you, my Lord” you smiled, Rex was a few meters away from you, Cody was chatting to him but he wasn’t paying attention to what. His eyes were on you and the young knight,” Hey Rex” Cody said snapping his fingers in front of his brother's face to get his attention,” Sorry, what were you saying?” he said with furrowed brows, Cody sighed,” Forget it, Rex, your job is to make sure no one harms her and that’s it. We are soldiers of the Republic and she is a Princess who now is the heir to the throne of this planet. You are executed if they find-”,” Nothing happened, I’m just keeping an eye on her, that’s it” Rex shrugged but he knew Cody didn’t believe him but the older Clone didn’t harp on it,” Even if you have feelings, they don’t matter, the King want’s her to married soon, she needs her own heirs now” Cody said making Rex lick his lips.

“Princess, if I am your chosen match you wouldn’t have to worry about anything” you sighed and played with your rings as you listened to the old man's words,” My Lord, I have a question? Was my Great Grandmother as beautiful as everyone tells me?”,” Oh boy” your friends whispered underneath her breath,” I.. I’m not sure what you're talking about Princess it has been decades since your great grandmother passed”,” Yes it truly was” you smiled as people chuckled,” Princess, that was unnecessary” your friend whispered yelled,” He’s older than my father, he shouldn’t even be a contester for my hand, if I have to be married at least it should be to a guy who survives the honeymoon face” your friend sighed and looked forward,” Next”. A young boy stepped forward making your eyes furrow together,” Oh how lovely a child”,” He’s the son of the biggest planets in the Galaxy, it be a good alliance Princess” she whispered making you sigh, you looked at Rex who seemed to be slightly amused at your current suitor,” Princess if you chose me you will have no need of a protector as I will do my best in protecting you” he began shyly,” The Princess has a dragon, she needs no protection it’s even laughable that she needs to have a protector at her side” another young Lord said,” She doesn’t need a boy like you, she needs a man” he said puffing out his chest making you raise a brow,” A man? Tell me when you see one” the younger boy said making you gasp,”I like him” you whispered to your friend,” Say that again” the lord pulled out his sword making Rex jump into action,” Princess?” he said holding out his hand as a fight broke out between the two young Lords.

“So no contester?” your father asked, you shook your head, biting back a smile,” I had a feeling about so I provided you with a match which I see fit for you” your eyes widen, and you looked at Rex who has you a shrug,” Bring him in” your father commanded. “Oden,” you said surprised,” Yes Princess, I hope I will be the husband you wish,” he said with a smile which just made him more attractive,” I don’t wish for a husband”,” Enough with that, you are the heir of this throne and you will need heirs of your own. I don’t want to hear any complaints y/n, you will marry the young knight Oden and that’s it” your father said.

You walked towards your room with Rex close at your heel,” Don’t you have something to say about this?” you asked, he didn’t answer but just looked at you with his warm brown eyes. You huffed, an idea popped into your head, Rex’s helm was stuck under his arm before the Captain knew it you grabbed his helmet and ran off,” Hey, give it back” he called after you making you giggle. You ran into your room and closed the door behind you, soon the door swung open showing a slightly annoyed Rex,” Princess, my helmet please” he said reaching out for it but you pulled away from him,” Princess” he said again trying to reach for it but you were to fast and hid it behind your back,” What games are you playing y/n?” he said placing his hands on his hips,” Kiss me, Captain” you said batting your eyelashes at him,” Your engaged and I am a soldier of the republic” he said,” You deserve some fun, I deserve some fun with someone I care about” you pouted making Rex flush,” You care about me?” you nodded,”In the short time I knew you made yourself at home in my heart Rex” you sighed and handed Rex his helmet back, he took it and was about to walk out the door when suddenly turned around and pulled you into a kiss,” One night won’t harm us” he whispered against your lips before taking you to bed.

*1 and a half years later*

“ A boy Princess,” a maid said handing you the crying infant, he has a tanned skin tone with tufts of blond hair,” Is he healthy?” you asked, the maid nodded, soon the door swung open revealing your husband,” What is it?” he asked excitedly,” A boy my Lord” a maid gushed,” A boy, how wonderful,” he said kneeling down beside your bed looking at the little bundle,” Can I hold him?” he asked you nodded and handed him the baby,” Tell the king about the birth of the child and send the word out to Captain Rex, he was looking forward to our son’s birth” you smiled seeing Oden smiling down at your son. The maids nodded and left the room leaving the three of you alone,” He has Rex’s hair” Oden said,” I hope it won’t cause trouble”,” You are the father Oden, Rex was just a fling” you said sadly soon after your wedding to Oden Rex’s mission was over, he didn’t need to protect you anymore you have a husband for that and he was desperately needed in the war, you slept with him one last time and that’s how your son was born, even though there was a slight chance that it could have been your husband, you knew deep down it belonged to handsome clone Captain. Oden found out about the affair as soon as you found out you were with child, you were worried that he would tell your father but he didn’t. He promised no matter the outcome he will be the father of the child. Rex said he would show up the second the child is born but he couldn’t help, even if he wanted too he couldn’t. If someone found out Rex would have been executed by both the republic and your planet.

“`He’s beautiful,” Rex said, it has been three days since you gave birth, Rex tried to come as soon as possible, and he bounced the boy in his arms gently,” Have a name for him?”,” Aegon after the first king” you smiled,” Well Aegon you will make a fine warrior one day” Rex smiled,” Just like his father” Rex smiled sadly,” I wish I could claim him as mine but I can’t,” he said, you smiled sadly at him,”I know, but try to be part of his family, just being there for important moments will be enough”,” I try my best but I am a soldier, my place is in the battlefield and my mission here is over,” he said looking at you gently,” but I will try my best, and maybe one day, once this all over.... we might have a chance” you smiled sadly, you pressed your lips against his,” I will wait for that moment, but until than Oden will make a great husband and father” you smiled,” I know he will, I am a good shot in case he isn’t” he chuckled handing you the baby before getting up to leave,” Goodbye Aegon” he said pressing a kiss against the babies hairline before he vanished through the door

whoops I had thoughts and broke myself with them so here, please enjoy

Slaves

Anakin hated slavery with such a passion that he was sure the Jedi Order would tell him it’s forbidden, if they found out. It didn’t stop him from killing every Zygerrian he came across, if he could. Every slaver deserved to pay for what they did, to his mother, to him. To his friends back on Tatooine, who would suddenly disappear or lose their parents or siblings, sold off to a new owner.

People were people, not property.

He had been furious with Obi-Wan for not letting him burn the entire planet of Zygerria to the ground after their mission there. He was furious with the entire Jedi Order for not taking action, with the Republic for comfortably allowing the status quo to continue.

When Rex told him of Slick’s betrayal, he dismissed it as a misguided action at first. But as the war progressed, he started thinking of the clone more and more. Looking around at how his fellow Jedi treated their soldiers.

It sickened him.

It sickened him how distant Luminara treated them. How everyone was happy Ahsoka rescued Plo, but nobody seemed to care about all the clones that perished in Trench’s attack. How the Jedi scolded him for killing Dooku when so often they willingly sacrificed their men for the greater good. He would be kicked out of the Order if they ever found how he had slaughtered the Tusken Raiders that took his mother, but they conveniently overlooked how they were responsible of the slaughtering of countless clones themselves.

He didn’t condone a betrayal like Slick’s. But Rex’s casual mention of how clones were bred for combat, and how desertion – not betrayal, desertion – would result in court-martial, made his blood boil. The clones were created with the sole purpose of doing the Republic’s bidding, of fighting in a conflict they had no stakes in, pawns in a war they couldn’t choose to participate in. The clones were little more than slaves, and the Jedi conveniently looked the other way whenever someone tried to address it.

He treated them differently. In the 501st, every clone was allowed a name, a personality, and he knew them all and stood beside them as an equal, not a master. He celebrated their victories and mourned their deaths, insisting that each and every victim be buried honourably and attending every burial personally.

The Jedi’s insistence that he let go of his attachment to his mother had cost her her life, and he would not allow that to happen to anyone else. The clones under his command would not be slaves of a cold and distant master, but free men, choosing to stand with him.

Anakin Skywalker may be dead, but Darth Vader was no different in this regard. And it was with murderous feelings that he burst into the Emperor’s office, lightsaber in hand.

“YOU’RE GETTING RID OF THE CLONES?!?” he shouted – except that with his new voice modulator the words didn’t come out quite as fiercely as he had intended.

Palpatine turned around in his chair. “Lord Vader” he said calmly. “The war is over. There is no need for them to fight anymore.”

Vader lowered his lightsaber, but didn’t deactivate it yet. “What’s going to happen to them?”

“They have been offered the chance to retire” Palpatine said. “Some are choosing to voluntarily stay in the military, but it is no longer their duty.”

Wooosh, there went the red blade. “You’re freeing them?”

Palpatine got up from his chair. “I remember your complaints about how the Jedi and the Republic treated the clones, Lord Vader. Our new Empire does not stand for slavery. The clones fought valiantly in the war, and chose the right side when the time came. They deserve to choose their future just as much as any other citizen of the Empire.”

“Yes, my Lord” Vader said, while deep within him that tiny remnant of Anakin Skywalker, those nagging doubts he was unable to squish, rejoiced. “I will personally see to their transfer into society.”

“Naturally” Palpatine replied as Vader walked away, giving that chuckle that sounded much colder since he had become Emperor.

Who are your top 3 characters?

PS I adore your incorrect quotes

I am going to do this as top 3 star wars characters because top three characters of all time is just....man too damn many.

In no particular order, because these 3 fools hold a dear place in my heart.

Thrawn. That stupid blue man wormed his way into my heart and has yet to leave. Stupid smart, sense of duty, can break your neck if he wants to. It is the full package.

Anakin Skywalker. Look, watching ROTS as a child did something to me. Doomed from the start, never having an control over his life, untapped godlike powers. He is a tragic character and I want to both hug him and whoop his ass.

For the third....honestly Thrawn and Anakin are my top and then the rest of my favs kinda all exist in the same rank, I can't really put one above the other. So honourable mentions go to

Eli Vanto, Padme Amidala, Din Djarin and Rey Skywalker.

13, 20, 24 for Promises of Fools

Hum, I've talked about Promises of Fools so much on here, what is there left to say? Lol. Let's find out...

(From these asks.)

13 - Write a lil snippet set in this verse.

(Reminder that Ahsoka is Obi-Wan’s padawan in this 'verse.)

"No, Skyguy, you're supposed to rest!"

"I can't, I know where they are, I know how to end this!"

"You did end it! The Sith Lord is dead! Palpatine’s gone!"

"But the Separatists aren't. And I know where they are! All the leaders. If we get there now, we can get a surrender! We can truly end this!"

"How do you know this?" Mace's voice was quiet.

Anakin shrugged, reached again for the commlink in Ahsoka's clenched fist. "I don't remember. Palpatine–" the name tasted bitter and he bit his tongue for a second. "The emperor might have said something? Or perhaps it was the Force. Maybe it was Qui-Gon? I don't know. Just please, Soka. Let me bring them home." He met her gaze, went for her heart. Both their hearts, really. "Bring him home."

Her shoulders dropped, and she smiled involuntarily, dropped the comm into his hand. "Let me guess: You won't let me come with you."

Anakin sighed, thumbing the comm over to Rex’s frequency. "I need to know someone's watching Padmé's back. She'll be under a lot of pressure right now. And with the babies..."

Ahsoka nudged him in the Force, calm, determination, trust me. "Sure thing, Skyguy."

He paused before hitting the call button, glanced over at Mace. "Do you trust me?"

Mace stood, looked him in the eyes. "Completely. Go. I am needed here. Much has been broken, and there is much to repair."

Anakin huffed, hit call. "Literally and metaphorically."

"General!"

Rex’s voice was sharp, loud.

"You're alive! We saw everything on the holonews, but they kept saying you'd been killed!"

Ahsoka winced. "Should have thought of that," she muttered.

"Pardon me, sir, but what in Corellia's hells happened?"

Anakin grimaced at the memory of Palpatine’s leering face. "The emperor was the Sith we were looking for. And I... had to stop him." He heard Rex’s sharp intake of breath, and hurried on. "But it's not over yet. I know where the Separatist leadership is." A deep breath, and Anakin sat up straight on the edge of the bed, some of the power of his next words beginning to sink in.

"Rex. Captain. Would you like to go end this war?"

A brief silence, followed by an incredulous, nearly-whispered, "Sir?"

Anakin’s reply was equally soft. "Truly, Rex."

He had never heard Rex laugh like that, before the soldier caught himself. Anakin could almost see him, pulling himself up straight and steady.

"It would be the greatest honour of my life, General Skywalker."

Anakin exhaled, stood. "Comm Appo. Resolute up in 30. We're headed for Mustafar. But we'll need to set up a rendezvous point with Obi-Wan. I'll comm him from the ship."

"Yes, sir!"

"Skywalker out."

Anakin lowered his hand, turned to Ahsoka and Mace, found himself smiling faintly. "Alright, you two, where are my clothes?"

20 - Share THREE headcanons! But about different characters.

- Qui-Gon and Padmé have tea once a week during the war. They talk about everything, but they also keep each other's spirits up about Obi-Wan and Anakin.

-Artoo recorded Anakin and Padmé's wedding, and sometimes when Anakin is stressed or angry and alone, especially after Qui-Gon dies, Artoo plays some of that footage. Sometimes it makes Anakin cry, but it always helps him re-centre himself.

-Boga survives!!!! Because Order 66 never gets activated. She gets gifted to Obi-Wan, and although she stays on Utapau, he visits once every year.

24 - Ramble about something you haven't gotten to talk about yet.

Honestly, I feel like I've rambled about it all, except for a couple things that deserve their own posts. There is this one fun thing I mentioned to Adi (@clawedandcute).

We were talking about Padmé and Qui-Gon, and I mused on their relationship in this AU.

I wonder if she would call Qui-Gon 'Grandpa' too? Anakin calls him that sometimes, mostly to tease him about how old he is, but also when he's feeling particularly emotionally vulnerable, like a code for 'I need to talk, can you just listen?'. Anyway, after they get reunited with Padmé, and ESPECIALLY after she and Anakin get married and she's part of the family, I like to imagine her calling Qui-Gon 'Grandpa'. Oooo, I'll bet during the war, when Anakin and Obi-Wan are away, Padmé and Qui-Gon often have tea together. And whenever Padmé gets anxious or stressed out, she comes to visit Qui-Gon in the Temple and they'll walk in the gardens until she's feeling better.

(Yes, I copied the text because I'm kinda lazy.)

Okay, that was fun!!! Thanks for the asks, love. 😘

#au asks #asked and answered #promises of fools au #that scene with anakin and rex fills me with so much joy and relief and triumph everytime i think about it gosh #star wars

Star wars?

The first character I first fell in love with: Din Djarin is literally the whole reason I even started watching Star Wars in the first place. But also, honourable mention to Finn, Rey and Poe, because even though I didn't care about Star Wars until Din, I still loved them the moment I watched TFA in 2015.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: I went into the prequel trilogy only knowing that it was Bad. I did not expect to come out of it obsessed with Anakin Skywalker. But here we are.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: don't kill me for this but Ahsoka. I haven't watched TCW except for the first couple episodes, and her character in The Mandalorian/Boba Fett annoyed me. I don't hate her, I just don't have any attachment to her.

The character I love that everyone else hates: Mace Windu. I can't say for sure that EVERYONE hates him but he has a fair amount of haters and I'm NOT a fan of it. Being Jedi critical and also loving Mace Windu is so hard tbh.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: honestly can't think of any. I think the closest might be Kylo Ren, not in a Stan way but just in a "I think he's a cool villain" way and the whole Reylo thing ruined it.

The character I would totally smooch: Din Djarin. Also Lando and Luke. and Cobb Vanth. and Obi Wan.

The character I’d want to be like: Leia. She's power personified and I am jealous.

The character I’d slap: Anakin. I love my boy but let's be real.

A pairing that I love: any dynamic within the Poe/Rey/Finn/Rose squad. they and Luke/Lando are the only ships I've always been loyal to. (points to FinnPoe for being the first SW ship I ever cared about even when I didn't know anything about the series.)

A pairing that I despise: Reylo. kill it.

What’s something they’ve mildly been afraid of before? Not a huge trauma, something small?

Tell Me No Questions... || Accepting {{@mynameisanakin for reasons}}

She does not understand. How the Senator can stand having so many people desecrating her private apartments, the chamber where she sleeps. They trample her privacy the way they do her rugs. Not that it's the woman's fault. This had been the second closest attempt made on her life. Were it not for Anakin They're both to blame, honestly. Him for talking her into being bait, regardless of how willingly she agreed, her for letting him make his plan sound attractive enough to allow it to come to full fruition. She sees at least four ersatz copies of the Senator gading about in simple night clothes ~does Naboo participate in cloning, or was the gene pool simply that shallow~ and remembers that they are handmaids. Decoys as it were. Not a very good job done, clearly. The Force here is dim to her. A hint of Master Kenobi's general grumpiness lingers in the outer rooms. It's in this one, the Senator's bedroom, that she feels it most strongly and she would admit that it's shaded in all the hues of Anakin. The red of his adrenaline bleeding into the yellows of impatience. The shades of blue that tinge his clarity of purpose and-- --and she shudders.

Kouhuns. The halves of their corpses ~bisected courtesy of Anakin's lightsabre~ are corpse-white in the bright lights, but somehow still look grotesque. The smell of them scrunch her nose and she has to do her level best to not cover her face. It's not that Melakeni is frightened of all insects or arthropods, some are quite lovely and long before she left home she had an entire hive of hawkwasps just as lethal as these things but entirely exquisite. Her dislike comes specifically with worm like creatures. How often does Anakin recall saving her sanity by gently removing common garden slugs while they were about their chores, or receiving lessons together from other Masters during the course of their training? Before they were apprenticed and often pulled apart she has lost count, and now? Now it is a fond memory. Well, for one of them. Keni does not relish the creeping sensation down her spine of their sliminess. She doesn't enjoy the meditative thought experiment that somehow they are digesting her from the inside out. And if she thinks about Anakin curious enough to try and lick one? Utterly makes her gorge rise. She stops one of the cl…handmaidens. Something beginning with an S… "You, girl. Carefully encase those things-" she points to the kouhun remains "-into specimen jars, and put them in that satchel. I will then remove them from the Senator's apartment." "Yes ma'am." A pause. "Are you quite alright? You…you look a little green-" Melakeni turns on one booted heel, does not have the civility to answer her.

@mvndrvke continue from here (no access to Legacy Editor)

“I have,” Ahsoka says, gaze sad. “I did.” Before it had all been torn to pieces. Her head tilts at Luke’s description of Padme. It’s an accurate one, which she can’t deny is also heartbreaking. “She was reckless too,” she muses softly. “And impulsive. Far more than people gave her credit for. She was the best of the Senate. The galaxy has yet to see her equal.” She looks at him questioningly then. “I can’t imagine it would be easy. Holding so much but only in glimpses.”

Consciousness concerning delicacy of their current conversation had been taken in consideration since the beginning. How weight of remembrances would hit her, inside countless what ifs, inside all unsaid regrets should probably holding towards circumstances evolution, about how Anakin ended up inside that brutal path, or even how he came inside an victim of associated circumstances … weren’t something, emotionally, mentally, that could be awakening heartlessly. On his side, there was an protective desire to protecting both memories of his parents, preserving an far away past long before tragedy came around --- Hence, there was an absence of exposed surprise concerning about how, indeed, Anakin’s Padawan and his mother did met inside circumstances before. There was a curious gaze, even if gentleness expression exposed how there was all necessary time for confessions. It won’t change how every remnant of an distant present would be keep safe of someone else hands --- somewhere where ruins of the past could remained as history mark, as remembrances not to forget for offer an better future … towards such topic, he always had fragmented perspective of people who had been close to them --- considering Ben never mentioned his mother an single time, and have an altered view considering the loss and the guilt towards his Padawan, where some of truths had been distorted in the process. ❝ I wonder how chaotic must have been meetings between the Jedi Order and the Senate … ❞ He mused gently, as he assumed inside that sentence he expected some tensions. Master Yoda never mentioned it after all. He had been understanding the whole former Republic had been imperfect, where he needed to catch up presented flaws for creating an newest Republic avoiding collapsing risks --- in same manner the Jedi Order must avoid restricted rules that could create further Sith in consequences, as an repercussion of disequilibrium … not easier task nevertheless only manner to create an peaceful world.

Silent understanding on touching right was flattered with a pleasant smile. Where more fragments of information generated a half-surprise. Anakin Skywalker had been by definition the representation of that reckless and impulsive term, where his sister giving him all honour regardless how she rightfully didn’t wanted be reminder of him! ❝ I thought it was Anakin specialist on that reckless domain. Quite something Obi-Wan still remember decades after. ❞ Use of former name Ben used for … most likely escaped his lips. There was an attached compassionate comprehension towards exposed choice. There had been an attached understanding about how emotionally difficult circumstances had been. Nevertheless, in middle of a past talking, over a spirited presence who had remained at his side long enough for support him, it seemed more accurate to use his real name --- tone Anakin knew. In front of her words, his curiosity increased, showing it only within his expression. ❝ I didn’t know my mother had that side on her personality. ❞ He was happy to knowing her be good concerning the Senate. Leia, with her upbringing and education, followed easily her lead. Regardless how competent he might be, if he was interested, on ruling, he preferred staying that obscure leader in middle in the shadows, taking care of everyone and everything doing fine inside best of his abilities without be acknowledged as an strange king… ❝ I hope Leia will honour her memory, the galaxy is pretty sure to be protected with her around, don’t you think ? I will just be tiny help in the shadows, offering her tiny support for exploring all her abilities to doing well to the galaxy. ❞ He mused amusingly. ❝ I would love to find remnants of history concerning Padme during her time at the Senate, though, data must have been cleaned since a long time… Did you assisted to her occupations on the Senate? ❞ Her compassionate gesture concerning his sensations generated a smile who didn’t mind. ❝ I can catch up remnants time to time … however these sensations had to be decrypted and understood correctly … memories lost across space … but only get smaller glimpses of an puzzle to be assembled … ❞

Thanks for the tags, @sinvulkt, i was thinking about this wayyyy too much. Anyway, here you go, have the (uncomplete) list of angsty babies of my heart, listed in almost correct alphabetical order!

1. Azula

She's the absolute queen of my heart. Too young to do all the shit she has to do, but she still does it, and she delivers. And also breaks during the process, but heyy, who ever heard of stress wearing down people? Not me for sure.

She has many layers to discover, she has interesting takes and she's also a goldmine for AUs and character-centric stories.

2. Mat Cauthon

This guy, I swear. I like his book persona, pre-Sanderson era, but Sanderson had his moments with him, too. If I have to think about a reluctant hero, he comes to my mind: he will do what he was tasked with, but you bet he'll complain the whole time! Also, his parental skills are a sight to behold.

(I am still mad that those three were not friends by the end of the series.)

3. Katniss Everdeen

Older sibling feels right into the heart. I wish I were as brave as her. That would be stellar, since our social skills are already matching. My sweet awkward girl, could and will kill you. She deserved better.

4. Héderváry Erzsébet (or Hungary, if you will)

They say, she is the manliest characters out of the whole cast. I tend to agree. I am also a bit compromised, since... you know. I'm Hungarian, lol. I wish my country were irl as cool as her.

5. Astrid Hofferson

She's badass, knows how to set people straight, loves Stormfly with all her heart, what more do I need from her?

6. Erik Lensherr/Magneto

This guy is just. Having issues and having solutions that are not good but you understand why does he have them. Also, official dilf on this list.

7. Murtagh & Thorn

They are soulbounded, they count as one! Murtagh was one of the first angsty dramaqueens of my heart, and that love came back to life and hit me like a train after I've read his book last week. I love this guy and Thorn was just. Perfect. I love them, your honour. Please provide me more of his emo poetry.

8. Natasha Romanoff

If we unsee that blehh thing from Age of Ultron, she's obviously the coolest person of the whole cast. I mean she's still written off as obligatory female character who we need to get away with everything, but she has depth, and I kinda like her. I mean. I kinda like the way she's written in fanfics :|

9. Anakin Skywalker

Another fine addition to the collection of angry sad men. I kind of. Don't like his portrayal in the clone wars series, as he was just so vastly different from the films – yeah, Hayden acting like animated Anakin in the Ahsoka series maybe lessened that pain, but still. He was awkward young adult, then he was less awkward less young and less human.

10. Jiang Cheng and Wen Ning

I literally couldn't decide, so here you go, a place shared! They are so similar, yet the differences in their characters made them react so differently! Wen Ning is baby, must protecc. Jiang Cheng will experience physical damage if he has to talk about his feelings.

Honorary mentions: Toothless (HTTYD); Bucky, Loki, Nebula and Wanda Maximoff (Marvel); Jonathan Morgenstern (Mortal Instruments); Toph, Zuko, Aang, and basically every kid from AtLA, Gilbert/Prussia (Hetalia); Matthew the Raven (Sandman series, as I haven't read the comics); Leia Organa (Star Wars); Taina Tives (you'll never know her, she's a wonderful person from a Hungarian sci-fi); Azirafael & Crowley (Good Omens); Arya (Game of Thrones); beat me but I liked Newt Scamander, even if the films were a piece of shit; Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist). Uhh, there are probably more, but they came to my mind?

So, as you can see, I have a thing for bad guys with horrible past, un-redeemable sins and anger issues. Give it to me. Make them monsters, but sprinkle in just a tiny bit of humanity, so they can suffer even more. Or, ray of sunshine. The duality of taste hits again!

10 Fandoms, 10 Characters, 10 Tags

Thank you so much @idle-brit for tagging me!This was lots of fun :) 💖

My tags: @delyth88, @elymusplant, @galaxythreads, @chemical-processes. No pressure to answer, of course :)

1. Loki (MCU)

As much as I love everyone on this list, there is absolutely no competition for number 1. Loki has been my favourite character of all time for nearly 6 years now (because clearly the best time to join someone's fandom is after they've just been murdered), and is showing absolutely no signs of being replaced anytime soon. I have a Loki blog, for god's sake. The brodinsons are my favourite relationship in any kind of media, ever. I love them so, so much. Loki's a million different things and feelings, all at the same time, all fighting with each other, which makes for a wonderfully complex and nuanced character. Also, he's hilarious. Look at that eye roll. This is a man who hates his life, which makes me feel better about mine. Thanks, Loki.

2. Klaus Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy)

As will become obvious throughout this list, I love me an emotionally traumatised crazy person. Klaus is that. One of the characters who makes me laugh the most, ever, show-stopping dress sense, and a bucketload of unresolved trauma which goes largely ignored by Klaus, the other characters and the narrative itself? It was love at first sight. Their banter with the other characters, especially Ghost Ben (rip) is one of my favourite aspects of the show. Here's to hoping that Klaus won't be getting the Allison treatment in season 4!

3. Pippa Fitz-Amobi (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder)

I binge-read the entire AGGTM series earlier this year, and instantly fell in love with it. Pip is one of my favourite protagonists ever. Impossibly clever, compassionate, obsessive, badass, and a teensy bit unhinged. What's not to love? I would die for her. I'd say that I'd kill for her, but I think she's got that covered. I think she's written in a very realistic way, firstly as a genius 17 year old girl who doesn't really know what she's getting into, and later as a haunted individual who wants to stop investigating but can't. The way she politely knocks on people's front doors to dig up their traumas, accuse them of murder and all-round ruin their lives is everything to me. She is my blorbo. I am so, so excited for the show to come out, and I'm sure that Emma Myers will do a wonderful job as Pip!

4. Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)

One of the best-written characters, in one of the best-written series ever. Reading from her perspective is such a delight- she's endlessly suspicious of everyone around her, constantly on survival mode, trusting very few people and relying on exactly no one (to begin with, at least). She's a random teenage girl, from the poorest district, and she wins the Hunger Games. She's so mentally unstable that she has to be sedated, and still she's made to be the face of a rebellion. She's rude, and kind of unlikeable. She adopts all the weakest tributes, at risk to herself, knowing that they won't win. She's doomed to fail by the narrative. She's the it girl of 2010s dystopian YA fiction. Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress, who does a beautiful job portraying the depth and conflict of Katniss in the films. The themes and social commentary of the Hunger Games is one of its (many) strong points, and I am so so glad that people are talking about it again, because it is my favourite book series out there.

5. Mitchell Pritchett (Modern Family)

I have no idea what to say about this man, I just love him. He just like me fr. What an icon. Impeccable music taste. I've started saying, "no my god" now, and nobody understands what I'm talking about. Even in a sitcom, my favourite is the one with issues that he refuses to talk about or fix. The episode where he's trying to hide that he dressed up as spiderman makes me cry-laugh. Claire's speech at his wedding makes me just cry. He's not a perfect man, but he's certainly better than everyone else.

6. Shin Tsukimi (Your Turn to Die)

My favourite cringefail loser! I said Katniss was doomed by the narrative in a metaphorical way. This idiot is actually doomed.

No but in all seriousness, I do really love him. Before the beginning of the game, he was just a relatively normal young man- but, when confronted with the inevitability of his own death, he made himself into a monster to survive. He has a violent vendetta against the local badass teenage girl, who is traumatised as hell already and does not need Shin chipping in as well, thank you very much. I love his relationship with Kanna, his biological sister; how he uses her, manipulates her, and still cares for her so much that he dies for her with a smile on his face in the Emotion route. Conversely, in the Logic route, his actions are a direct cause of her death, and I just love how much YTTD hates siblings. I hope that his past with Midori is explored more in either a mini-episode or the final part of the game, because I find it sooo interesting. I'm super excited to see whether he actually has no chance of survival, or whether he makes it out, against the odds, on one of the routes. He's a bit useless, so I won't get my hopes up.

7. Rue Bennett (Euphoria)

I think it goes without saying that Euphoria has its issues, lol. Sam Levinson is an idiot. While a lot of the show (especially season 2) feels shallow and like it doesn't care about its characters, Rue's storylines always have heart and depth and I am so invested in her arc. It's no wonder that Zendaya won 2 Emmys for this role, because her acting is phenomenal! Rue feels so real to me, in the way that she's trying so hard to stay sober but she falls down and relapses time and time again. Recovery isn't linear, but she's getting there, and I adore her with all my heart. Her relationships with Lexi, her mother, her sister, and her sponsor, Ali, are my favourites, and the healthiest for her, in my opinion. Her brief friendship/ romance with Jules may have kept her more solidly sober than anything else in the show, but Jules (understandably) cracks under the pressure of Rue's mental health, and can't be there for her. Rue needs to heal for herself, which she appears to be doing at the end of S2.

8. Max Mayfield (Stranger Things)

Duffer brothers, please just let her be happy.

Despite only being introduced in Season 2, Max has, in my opinion, had the best character development out of everyone on the show. Her growth from someone standoffish, rude, and uninterested in the group (maybe I'm being a bit harsh. She was, like, 12) to someone who is willing to risk her life to help her friends and Hawkins means so much to me. The scene in "Dear Billy" (S4, Ep4) where she escapes from Vecna remains my favourite in the whole show and will probably be burned into my brain forever. Her relationships with Lucas and El are very sweet, and some of my favourites in Stranger Things. Her final line in S4, after all her struggles over the season, being that she doesn't want to die literally breaks my heart. I hope she gets some degree of a happy ending in the final season. She was my first profile picture when I joined this hellsite, and I love her a lot.

9. Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)

The shenanigans that this girl gets up to never fail to make me laugh. The bit where she accidentally dyes her hair green and then has to hack it all off makes me feel awful for her, but. it's hilarious. Sorry, Anne. Her friendship with Diana is so sweet but also so funny to me because they really are the most chaotic duo of the 1880s. The scene where Anne accidentally gives her alcohol instead of fruit juice is so mortifying but so, so funny. Amidst all of the insane situations that Anne gets into are a lot of really heartwarming moments and relationships. Matthew and Marilla adopting Anne, even though they wanted a boy, because she's so endearing and alone in the world is probably what made me who I am today. I still haven't gotten around to watching Anne with an E, but I've heard it's amazing. I look forward to watching it when I have the time :).

10. Daphne Blake (Scooby Doo)

My first ever favourite character! Another one who I don't have a tonne to say about. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. She has done nothing wrong, ever. She knows martial arts, so watch out.

Honourable mentions: Thor (MCU), Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games), Gretchen Weiners (Mean Girls), Jake Peralta (Brooklyn 99), Maurice Moss (The IT Crowd), The Eleventh Doctor (Doctor Who), James (The End of the F***ing World), Ali Abdul (Squid Game).

If you read all of this then thanks, and have a great day!
