The Subtleties of the Force

You are from this world, but at a convetion you stumble into the world between worlds, eventually falling into the Star Wars galaxy. Slow burn Anakinxreader content due to reader trying to keep the timeline straight. This is a long one, as I had put all chapters below so strap in. Begins at the start of AOTC Fem reader, I hope you enjoy.

The convention hall was packed with people and you had somehow gotten separated from your group of friends. Well you say friends but really they were work colleagues and you were sure they had only invited you to make up the numbers for the cheap tickets. You didn't really care, you'd wanted to get to the convention, especially as some of your favourite actors would be there and this seemed like the only way. Figuring they'd ditched you on purpose you decided you'd make the most of the day and just meet them at the bus that evening. That was how you had found yourself wondering the rooms one by one. In a corridor lined with blue carpets and yellow walls you saw a plaque. Starwars merchandise. Awesome you thought, exactly what you had come here for. Moving closer you wondered why no one else was there but decided it simply put out of place and other people hadn't found it yet. The door handle is hot when you take hold of it. A rush of wind hits you as you enter the darkened room. This wasn't right. The plaque must have been put there by mistake; there was nothing here. You feel around with your hands when you see a small line of light appear around your feet. Like water rippling away from your steps. Then a voice calls to you, not to you but it's calling out and you recognise it. Maybe it's one of your coworkers and you rush forward searching for anything. The only light was around your feet until you saw it. Like a screen on a wall you saw you see a flash of a tunic and a blue light spinning. Keeping your breath as quiet as possible you step forward watching as Obi-Wan Kenobi trains Anakin Skywalker. You worry that you've stumbled on a secret screening. Without thinking about what you were doing you reach your hand close to the scene and whisper Anakin's name. Both men turn to you. Their eyes locked on yours. 

"What on earth is that?" The older Jedi asks. Your heart starts to race. 

"Hello there?" He speaks with a cautious smile. 

"Hello." You whisper still not sure if they were speaking to you. 

"Perhaps you should come down off the ceiling?" Anakin said, stepping forward and reaching toward you. His master taps his shoulder, keeping him from approaching. 

"We should practise some restrain here, my Padawan." 

"But look at her master, she needs our help." Anakin steps past his master and reaches up to you. His hand comes so close to you. You are sure you can smell the sweet air of the training room. Panic sets in and you turn on your heel running away. Surely the door was this way. Another screen appears and you see the two men once more, they are on a frozen planet. They see you again, and once more they call to you. You run. 

It happened again screen, Jedi, panic running four more times it happens until you turn blindly, your heartbeat thumping in your throat and you trip. Falling forward into a body. The darkness is gone, replaced by a stark brightness. You feel a hard object below you and hear the 'oof' as hands take hold of your shoulders. 

"You're here?" The voice says, pulling your attention back to what was happening. Looking up you see you had crashed directly into Anakin Skywalker. 

"Master! She is here." He called out and Obi-Wan ran onto the balcony. 

"It's been a year, and you're finally here. Actually here." The padawan continues. 

"What? Where am I?" You ask pushing away from him and looking for a way out. 

"Stop. Please stop." 

You can't help but comply to the masters voice. You'd spent your whole life listening to it. You stand still, your back to them. 

"I don't know what's happening." You say quietly. 

"Shall we start with your name?" Obi-Wan asked. 

"Y/n" you say, turning toward them. No, no, looking at them is worse somehow, but you don't turn away. 

"I'm Obi-Wan-"

"Kenobi, I know and you're Anakin Skywalker." You interrupt him. 

"Why can't I read you?" Anakin rushes the words out. You shake your head. 

"You're right Anakin, you aren't giving off any signs of Force." 

"This is a joke right? Are you being paid to do this? A TV show?" You ask, backing yourself against the wall. 

"We're Jedi, we do not get paid to do anything." Anakin says. 

"Perhaps we should take you to the council, they may understand what is happening better than us." Obi-Wan says. 

"You're not on the council yet?" You ask, looking at the red haired man. 

"You are a strange one. Will you come with us?" He points to the door and you nod. The master walks forward taking the lead and Anakin falls in behind you. To your surprise you emerge into a large hallway, the floor is silky smooth and the walls made of brown pillars. This was much more than a joke. 

"Is this all real?" You ask, more to yourself than to the two men. 

"Well we think so." Obi-Wan laughs. 

You feel like a prisoner as they walk on either side of you. Wishing you could run and hide, though you knew they would know this building better than you and if they really are Jedi they'd catch you instantly. 

The doors to the council room loomed over you as you waited, your heartbeat began to race again and your chest started to tighten. The palms of your hands felt clammy. You knew this feeling, you'd had it plenty of times before. This was the start of a panic attack. 

"I don't, I don't want to go in there." You say, though your voice is hardly more than a whisper. Both men hear you and turn to you. 

"Y/n, are you okay?" Obi-Wan asks, resting a hand on your shoulder. The touch shocks your body and you turn, running before your mind catches up with what you are doing. You run as fast as your legs can take you, turning a corner and flopping into a darkened corner. You faigley hear Obi-Wan tell Anakin to check a different way to him and pull your knees up closer to your body, trying to hide yourself. 

You feel him in front of you first, his presence is heavy, but it lightens your chest. 

"Hey, y/n. You're fast, faster than us." He laughs, crouching down to your height. You slowly look up to him. 

"How, you have the force run?" You ask. 

"Force run." He breaths out, through your panicked mind his voice is familiar and it soothes you. 

"I know this place can be scary, I came here when I was nine. The council were pretty harsh but they mean well." He is trying to comfort you. 

"I know, I know what they said to you, but I'm not you Anakin, I'm not the chosen one or even a Jedi I'm just me. I'm not even from this place." You ramble 

"This place, you mean this planet? Where are you from, how do you know what they said to me?" Anakin asked. 

"I, where I'm from you're…all of this is a story, just a story. It's not real." You speak through your panting breath. 

"Not real? I'm as real as you can get." Anakin took your hand bringing it up to his chest. 

"You see? That my heartbeat, I'm real, you can feel that." 

God, why was he being so nice to you when he doesn't know you? 

"This is a bit much." You say finally meeting his blue eyes. 

"I have an idea, maybe they'll let you speak to just one of them, to start with. In light of…well. We can ask." You nod and allow Anakin to pull you up to your feet. You finally take the time to look at him, his hair is cut short with a braid hanging down behind his right ear. The hand that is holding yours is flesh. You check the other, both flesh. So this is before the fight with Dooku. 

"That is a good idea, my Padawan. I shall speak to them, you stay with our new friend here." Obi-Wan spoke walking up behind Anakin. Once more you fall between the two men and your breathing slows to somewhat normal. 

The doors to the council room are still intimidating but having Anakin standing beside you as Obi-Wan slips inside makes you feel less apprehensive. 

A few moments pass before the older man peeks his head back through the doors. 

"Master Yoda and Windu are waiting for you." He announces. Master Yoda would be easy to speak to but Windu. You had seen how he treated Anakin in the movies and it made you nervous. 

"Come in." Anakin puts his hand on the small of your back guiding you into the room. The scene before looked exactly how it was in the movie, a circle of red chairs surrounded by windows. Obi-Wan stepped to the middle of the room, with you and Anakin following him. 

"Begin, we shall, at the start Master Kenobi." Yoda said, part of you wanted to giggle hearing him actually speak and not be CGI or a puppet. 

"Around a year ago, Anakin and I were training on the south Balcony, we saw y/n looking back at us, through a window of sorts. She was gone too quickly for us to get any information. We have seen her again several times and each time y/n appeared surrounded by darkness, as if she was somewhere between her world and ours. This morning y/n literally fell out of the sky and onto my Padawan." Obi explained, simply. 

Yoda nodded along, but Mace narrowed his eyes on you. 

"The world between worlds." Yoda spoke once more, turning to his companion. 

"It has been centuries since anyone has crossed through it. Where are you from, y/n?" His dark eyes bore into you as you gulp. 

"A planet called Earth, or um Terraferma." You recall the name from a science class. "It isn't in your galaxy." You say sheepishly. Mace smiles and laughs, a sound you have never heard in the movies. 

"I have heard of it. In old stories the training droids tell. If you don't mind I'd like to take a blood sample, to determine if you are carrying any foreign -" 

"Midichlorians right? You want to see if I have any?" You blurt out. The Jedi Master looks impressed and nods. He stands and takes your hand clipping your finger and drawing a drop of blood. You flinch, sucking on your finger as he sits back in his chair. 

"Now, tell us what do you know about us?" That was the question you were dreading. Drawing in a long breath you begin. 

"Well where I'm from, and to be honest I'm completely sure this isn't a very elaborate trick; this is all a story, well a movie, um I have seen what happens to you, to all of you for about sixty years. I don't want to tell you too much. I don't really know how time travel or inter galaxy travel works but I do know you don't tell people their futures." Both masters nod. 

"Tell us, more past information, you must." Yoda asked. 

"Yeah, umm, Mace, I mean Master Windu your lightsaber is purple, because you can draw from the darkside without succumbing to it. Errr, Anakin was found in Tatooine, as a slave l, Qui-gon wanted to train him, but he died at the hands of Darth Maul…" you could see the disbelief in their eyes, this wasn't enough…"this temple is built on a ancient Sith temple. To turn your sabre red you have to bleed the crystal. The first human Jedi temple is on Anch-To, the original books are there." 

"Okay, I've heard enough for now. Master Kenobi, please take y/n to the dormitories. We shall confirm with the council." Mace announced turning away from you and you follow Anakin and Obi out. 

"What else do you know?" Anakin asks, a hint of nerves in his voice. 

"Oh um, only what's in the movies and TV shows." You reply. As the three of you walk you feel a dizziness wobbling in your stomach. "I don't know-" a flash of the dark room stopped you. "What?" The convention and people talking, so much talking."I need to-" the temple walls. You reach out and find a grasp on Anakin's arm. "Wait I " the convention hall again. You can see your friends. Your mind spins and you feel yourself falling backward. Anakin tries to catch you, your arm slipping through his fingers and your back hits something hard. Not the floor, a body, a chest and you're lifted up into a pair of arms. You open your eyes enough to see that Obi-Wan is carrying you. The dizziness is making you feel sick so you press eyes shut tight and lean into his hard chest. The simple scent of clean clothes and skin became your concentration. 

"What is happening to her Master?" You hear Anakin ask from somewhere behind him. They rush you through the temple to the halls of healing. Where you were taken from Obi-Wan's arms and placed on a bed. As more scenes of your home flash in front of your eyes, mixed with parts of the Skywalker Saga. Nothing felt real until a hand slid into yours. Snapping open your eyes, you turn your head and see Anakin sitting beside you. Unsure if it was the healers around you or his touch you began to calm and fall to sleep. 

*********

You do not open your eyes, but your ears begin to focus on the voices around you. 

"Her count is almost as high as your own Anakin. This is very strange, but there is a story from a millenia ago about a young man coming to us through the world between worlds. Not of this galaxy but one far, far away and it seems further along in the timeline. He came and helped save thousands of people. I am concerned that our fears of a coming war are much more imminent than we previously thought." 

"Master Windu, what do we do?" You hear Obi-Wan ask. 

"The council believes y/n is somehow connected to the both of you. You have said you saw her several times in the last year, so we think it would be best if you begin training her, of sorts." 

"I already have a Padawan?" 

"Anakin appears to be nearing his trails. We have chosen to give y/n's training to both of you. Not as a Padawan but a member of your team." You can tell Mace still worries about you by the way his voice inflected between words. 

"Very well Master Windu. We shall do our best." 

"Be on alert, the senate will be convening here in one week. We may be needed." 

You listen as the door opens and closes, still waiting to open your eyes. 

"Do we really just go forward with this? Shouldn't we be trying to get her back into the world between worlds? Get her home?" Anakin asks. 

"In time, Anakin. We must do as we have been asked. These are trying times, y/n may be here to help us. She does appear to have some knowledge of our world." 

You open your eyes but say nothing, watching the two men standing on the other side of the room. One of the heelers approach you. She has a gentle, young face and her smile eases your mind. 

"Welcome back, miss y/n. My name is shamé." She helped you to sit up, the two men waiting eagerly to speak with you. 

"I heard it all. I don't know if training me will be any good, I'm pretty unfit and clumsy." You try to force a giggle. 

"Obi-Wan is a brilliant teacher, you'll learn quick." Anakin reassured you. Obi-Wan smiled at his padawan. It wasn't often they complimented each other, but it made him beam with pride. 

"And an excellent student to learn beside." He clapped Anakin's shoulder. The healer tells Obi-Wan that you are ready to be released from the healing halls so you follow the two men out. 

"What happened?" You asked them. 

"We aren't sure. It started to faze in and out, like a hologram struggling to contect. We could hear noises, I assume from your home planet." 

"Oh." Was all you could reply. 

"We heard ourselves as well, but it was-" Anakin trailed off. 

"I'm sorry," 

They both assure you it is fine and that strange things happen all the time. You know that to be true but did the force really work in such strange ways? 

When you all reached the dormitories Obi-Wan showed you to your own, pointing out that Anakin was across the hall and his own room was around the corner. They then agreed to meet you for lunch in around an hour as you slid inside your new room. It's not big but it isn't small. Enough room for a bed by the window, a sofa opposite a desk, kitchenette and off to one side a door that led to a bathroom. In one of the cupboards there was a pile of clothing you assumed every Jedi was given when they arrived. Something told you to change into some of it at least. Perhaps you'd forgo the full jedi get up. They were surprisingly comfortable on your tired skin. A small mirror gave you the opportunity to fix your hair into a much easier simple plate at the back of your head. How strange it was that you had spent eighteen years imagining yourself in this world and now you were in it. 

You'd nearly felt time pass you when there was a knock at your door. Figuring out how to open it was harder than you thought so you called through to the other side. 

"Um, how do I open the door?' 

A soft chuckle came back to you. 

"Press the green button" it slid open and Anakin was standing in front of you, the cheeky grin you'd fallen for on screen beaming down at you. 

"Is it time for lunch already?" You ask. 

"No, I just thought you might like someone to talk to, this place can be scary when you first get here, but if you want to be alone I can-" he turns slightly as if about to walk away. 

"No, I mean yes, come in." You step back allowing room for him to pass by. Anakin flops onto the sofa. 

"You found the clothes, I wasn't sure what sizes to get you but they seem to fit okay." He looks you up and down making you feel overly self conscious. 

"Oh, yeah they fit great, thank you." You say standing awkwardly in the middle of the room. Anakin sucks on his teeth looking around. 

"Obi-Wan has been called for something by the council so we have some time just us. Can you tell me about your world?" He asked, scorching over on the grey sofa to give room for you to sit down. Nervously you perched on the edge and turned to him, still in awe of sitting beside him. It was strange because you knew there was an actor at home who looked exactly like this man, well not exactly. In your world he was older, this man was still young. 

"It's very different to here. There's no force there and people don't travel between planets it's just one planet. Well there are other planets but we haven't worked out the technology to travel between them yet." You can feel yourself beginning to ramble. 

"Wow, locked on one planet forever. I thought I'd live like that once." Anakin's eyes blinked away from you for a moment. 

"You're so much more than that child, Anakin." You say out of instinct. He smiles at you. 

"It's not a great planet at all really. I mean the planet is beautiful but the people are not. There are a lot of wars and crime." You explain. 

"I guess our worlds aren't that different." Anakin sighs. 

"Okay, your turn what has happened so far, for you? I need to know where I am in the timeline." You settle back in the chair as Anakin shifts to face you more. 

"Um, well I'm almost a Jedi now." He laughs. 

"Have you seen Padme again?" You ask. 

"No, but I get to see her again?" He asks with a new excitement glinting in his eye. 

"Oh, err, yeah eventually. So no then. In that case I think this is all before the second movie starts so I don't know much. The action starts soon." A real laugh leaves your throat as you think of Anakin's catchphrase 'this is where the fun begins' 

"Wow okay." Anakin sits back, you can see the way his mind worked through what you told him. 

"I know you can't tell me what happens in the future, but do I ever become a master?" You can't help but feel sorry for him and his big blue eyes. 

"You become a powerful force user, one of the most powerful in history." You settle on a half truth. He seems pleased with the answer and jumps up to his feet, pulling you up with him. 

"Come on, it's lunch time." He drags you through the temple to the cafeteria, where a thousand eyes squared onto you. Anakin ignored everyone and passed up a tray, explaining what each meal was made of. Taking only one bowl of vegetable soup figuring it would be the safest bet. 

"I don't think I'm very welcome here." You whisper across the table. Anakin looked around for the first time, his scowl turning eyes away. 

"Ignore them. Most people here are blind anyway." He rolls his eyes. 

"Anakin, you shouldn't think like that, the Jedi are doing their best with what they know." You tap the back of his hand with your finger tips. For a moment his eyes glaze over as if a memory was taking hold of him until you pull your hand away. The padawan looks at you, concern written all over his face. 

"What did I do?" You ask, panic bubbling deep inside you once more. 

"No, I just…I haven't been able to read you this whole time but then I felt…you've been so alone." Are tears threatening his or your eyes? You couldn't be sure. 

"Oh." Was all you could say and you folded your hands into your lap. 

"Please don't be nervous, I understand how you're feeling now. You enjoy gardens, we have an amazing one here. Would you like to see it?" Anakin's eyes had widened, one eyebrow lifted higher than the other as he studied your face. 

"Yes please." You say quietly. 

Lunch discarded he guides you out of the catering hall through more corridors, the temple was a maze and you were sure you'd never be able to traverse it by yourself. The Jedi beside you however appeared to know it well and hardly had to think about the direction he took you. His hand hovered at the small of your back each time a corner or new direction was taken. 

"Here, we have some older Jedi who prefer to stay here and garden. Most of the plants are medicinal but they're still pleasant to look at." Anakin pushed open a heavy door, it was the only door that hadn't opened by itself. The smell hit you first, fresh and light. You'd expected the planet of curisont to smell more mechanical, yet in this garden it was hard to believe you were on a planet made entirely of metal buildings. 

"It's beautiful." You say looking around at the plants. They were planted in delicate patterns that you assumed helped with their cultivation. Several benches had been placed around the garden and Anakin sat in one, watching you take it all in. His eyes scanned your body, how each curve of your stomach and hips bent when you smelled a flower. You looked back at him when you heard a particularly large breath leave him, he was shifting his position and decidedly not looking at you. 

"Do you spend much time here?" You ask him, aware at that moment that you know nothing of his life between the first and second movies. 

"Oh, occasionally. It's a nice place to meditate. There are little distractions here." He answered with a smile. 

The door to the garden opened and Obi-Wan appeared, 

"I am sorry to interrupt, but we have to go, the council wishes to see us. All of us." His words make your stomach flip around

***********

Evening was beginning to set, you were in your dormitory looking out of the window after wrapping a short cloak around your body. There is a knock at your door and this time you are able to open it without help. Obi-Wan stood on the other side with a grin. 

"Hello there, I thought I'd stop in before we collect Anakin. We haven't had much time to speak candidly since your arrival." He grinned at you. 

You sit on the sofa expecting some lecture on your conduct, instead the older man leaned himself on the kitchenette counter. 

"Master Yoda has asked the librarians to search for any information about the world between worlds so we may be able to get you home. The thing is, I agree with Mace, I think you're here for a reason. There must be something you have to change here. Your knowledge of our world, it has to have meaning." Obi-Wan had moved toward you, crouching down with his hand on your knee. 

"I'm starting to think so too. I'm not sure if I want to go home, not yet anyway. There isn't much for me there." You reply with a sad smile. 

"I'm sure that cannot be true." 

"Honestly, I have no family left and my friends…they wouldn't miss me too much." You shrug. Obi-Wan eyes soften with sadness as his eyebrows knit together. 

"Surely that cannot be true. You have been with us but two days and I already will miss you greatly when you return home." He takes your hand in his, giving it a small squeeze. Once again tears prick at the corner of your eyes. 

"Thank you for saying it." You return his gentle smile. A cough catches your attention and you both look to see Anakin in the open doorway. 

"Yes, time to go." Obi-Wan patted your knee as he stood and you followed them both to the transporter and then into an apartment building. There was a lot of security around the door, both from this planet and Naboo. It made much more sense then in the movie that appeared to have no soldiers around at all. Once they had verified you were all from the temple the three of you got into the elevator. Anakin adjusts his cloak awkwardly. Obi-Wan looks at him. 

"You seem a little on edge." 

Anakin's eyes briefly meet yours before he speaks. 

"Not at all." He rebuked. 

"I haven't felt you this tense since we fell into that nest of gundarks." Obi-Wan explained. 

Anakin scoffed. 

"You fell into that nightmare, Master, and I rescued you, remember?" 

"Oh…yes." You and Obi laughed, Anakin couldn't help but giggle a little. 

"You'll have to tell me about that one day." You say, smiling at them both. 

"It isn't in your movies?" Obi asked. You shook your head. 

"You're sweating, relax, take a deep breath." The master returned his attention to Anakin. The padawan's eyes flick to you once more.

"He hasn't seen Padme for ten years." You say. Anakin scrunches his eyebrows for a moment and he supposed yes, he was nervous to see Padme again but that wasn't exactly why he was sweating. 

The elevator doors slid open, revealing the entrance to the Grand apartment. Jarjar approached and you had to stifle your laugh. The CGI had always been a little dodgy but sending him in real life was amazing. You could finally see how his body truly fit amongst both water and earth and gosh was he tall.

"Obi? Obi! Mesa so smilen to seein yousa!" He excitedly greeted you all. 

"Good to see you again Jar Jar." Obi smiled. 

"Senator Padme, Mesa Palos here! Lookie, lookie, senator. Desa Jedi arriven." He leads all three of you into the main living area of the room. Padme turns away from a small balcony, her smile widening seeing her old friends. She and her head of security walk over to you. Obi bows then holds out his hand

"It's a great pleasure to see you again milady."

"It has been far too long Master Kenobi." Padme says sincerely, her eyes scan over his shoulder landing on Anakin. 

"Ani? My goodness you've grown!" She says. 

"So have you," Obi steps back so Anakin can step forward, "grown more beautiful I mean. Well, for a senator I mean." He looks back at you and internally kicks himself. Padme lets out a small laugh. 

Ani, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine." She grinned and turned away. You felt the tension in Anakin's body. Obi-Wan introduced you and Padme greeted you, thanking you for coming. They all walked over to the sofa's and sat down. 

"Our presence here will be invisible, milady, I can assure you." Obi-Wan states. 

"I'm Captain Typho of her Majesty's security service. Queen Jamillia has been informed of your assignment. I am grateful you are here, Master Kenobi." The one eyed man explained from beside the sofas. "The situation is more dangerous than the senator will admit."

"I don't need more security, I need answers. I want to know who is trying to kill me." 

Your mind starts run like crazy, you know exactly what is going to happen. 

"If I might?" You speak up looking at Obi-Wan, he nods, "the three of us will find who is doing this to you, milady. I have some ideas on how we might find them." You explain the plan to them, ensuring that Padme will use herself as bait in the bedroom. Though she doesn't fully understand, your situation is explained to her.

"I can only do so much, I think some things need to play out about the same but I can give information faster than normal. Mostly you are pleased that you were able to stop the small quarrel between Obi-Wan and Anakin that happens in the movie. Padme excuses herself to her bedroom, her handmaiden following her. Obi-Wan goes off to check the security and JarJar disappears to do his duties. You look at Anakin. 

"She was pleased to see you, sometimes it's hard to recognise someone when you've had a picture of them in your mind for so long. She is very pretty, more than I thought she would be." You say to him. 

"I suppose. I want her to like me, more than she does anyone else but I'm conflicted about it. It isn't the Jedi way, I know that, but what am I supposed to do? You know what happens" he is almost pleading with you. 

"You know I can't say, just trust your feelings about her." You know you need to make sure they get together. 

The evening drew on and soon enough as you had said there was an attack on the senator. Anakin slices the two worms in half and Obi-Wan leaps out of the window after the bot. You stay with Padme, knowing this would at least play out correctly. You could give Obi-Wan more information when they came back. 

"Will you sit with me? I doubt I shall sleep for sometime." Padme asks. You nod and perch on the end of her bed. 

"Do you miss home?" She asked. 

"In a way. I miss my things, my apartment but not my job or the people really." You say looking down at the silk sheets. 

"You have no one?" Her question stung. 

"No, my parents are gone, dad left when I was baby and my mum died a few years ago. I had no siblings." You sigh. Padme's hand rests in yours. 

"I'm very sorry." You could tell she meant the words. 

"Thank you." You tell her about your mundane job and lack of real friends. How you had arrived here and many more things you hadn't yet spoken about to anyone here. 

"Well if you ever get bored of living in the temple you are more than welcome to stay with me." She giggled. Perhaps you could find friends in this world. Maybe you were here to stop her death. 

"It is odd, you have only arrived in our world mere days ago and I met you hours prior to this yet I feel like we have always known each other." Padme held your hand once more. 

"It is nice to feel like I belong somewhere." You admit. 

Neither of you are sure how long you had sat in that bedroom but Obi-Wan was walking back in, turning on lights. You blink up at them. The sun was beginning to rise outside. 

"We have a new plan, milady," Obi-Wan announced.

"Where is Ani?" Padme asked. 

"He is speaking with the chancellor. They will both be along shortly." 

"No!" You shot up off the bed, "he shouldn't, you should never allow him to. Oh no, this is and." You're pacing the room. 

"Y/n what is wrong? What do you know?" Obi-Wan reaches out to you, taking your shoulders. 

"Oh, um, I can't tell you, not yet, but you just have to be so careful about the chancellor, all of you should." Panic was rising up I. You again, your breath coming out in short shallow hits. 

"Calm, y/n. I believe you. We shall be cautious," he nods to Padme who agrees, "come we must prepare for travel." You nod slowly and follow him out. 

At the temple you are given a small suitcase of clothing and told to change into the top outfit. It's a simple burgundy dress, with black breeches below and a simple clock over the top. Once dressed you meet Obi-Wan back in the hall. 

"Obi-Wan, I need to shorten your investigation. The thing you got off the bounty hunter it's from a planet called Kamino. It won't show up in the archive charts but it is there, it was deleted. Go to the coordinates you have, it's a wet planet and it will be raining when you go. You're looking for a man called Jangi Fett, but Obi-Wan don't chase him. There isn't really any point. Just bring back the information about…what you find there. Tell Yoda, he will need them and then go to Geonosis. You'll understand why." 

He listens to every word you say before leading you down to the transport where Padme and Anakin are waiting. You watch as she bids goodbye to her handmaiden and the Typho. Anakin shifts behind as you Obi-Wan warns him to be mindful and make no choices without the council's knowledge. 

Once on the transport you turn to them, a tightness in your chest needing to break free. 

"Anakin, I know you've been having nightmares and as much as I want things to play out right between the two of you," you gesture between them, "we don't really have time. I have to save you from something. I think that's why I'm here, so we have to save your mother before it's too late." 

"Save her from what?" Padme asked. 

"She has been freed, married to a man called Lars but she was kidnapped by Tusken raiders. If we go now we can save her from dying." You say the words through a shaky breath. A tear drops down Anakin's face. 

"Then we will go now." Padme announces. "On the plus side, no one would expect me to be on Tatooine." She reaches across and holds Anakin's hand. 

The three of you manage to find a small ship that Anakin pilots to the sand planet of his birthplace. You were unprepared for the heat. 

"Do you know where she is?" Anakin asks. You shake your head. 

"No, the movie doesn't tell us exactly, but Anakin, trust your feelings. Reach out to her and you will find her." He nods to you. Closing his eyes Anakin pictures his mother's face in his mind. A swish of waves washes over his ears as he searches through the force for her. A small smile picks at the corner of his mouth. 

"I know where she is." He flicks a few buttons in the ship and it moves quickly across the sand dunes. You watch in awe, not fully ready to truly believe you are here on the most important planet in this universe. Anakin settles the ship down behind a dune, knowing the Tuskens would be resting at the time of day and he tells Padme and you to stay on the ship. With the vale of darkness beginning to fall he creeps into the hut holding his mother. She is tied to a post but relatively unharmed. Anakin cuts her ties and she looks up into his eyes.

“Ani? My Ani. You have come for me?” she asks. 

“Yes mother, come on we do not have much time.” He helps her to stand and leads her out the tear in the tent and back to the ship. The woman smiles seeing Padme on the ship and they introduce you to her. 

“She’s the reason we found you.” Anakin glowed with happiness, for him it was a perfect moment. Flying a ship, carrying the three most important women in his life. Returning safely to the farm amongst the sand dunes, Shmi insists you all stay for dinner. Anakin beams when she places a plate of food in front of him, her hand pausing on his shoulder for a moment. It was the happiest you had ever seen him. Though you’d love to stay in this place, you know Padme must return to Naboo with Anakin for events to unfold. For their love to grow. Saying good bye to his mother seemed harder this time, but he was glad he got the opportunity to see her once more.

“My grownup son, so handsome.” she brushed her hand down his jaw and Anakin pressed a kiss to her palm. “I am so proud of you.”

“I love you, mum.” He whispered. Shmi turned to you. 

“Stay safe, Shmi.” You whisper to her, “They may still try to use you against him.” She nods in understanding and you walk onto the ship, giving one last look at the twin moons.

The journey to Naboo would not be a long one but you had fallen asleep nonetheless. Padme sat in the seat beside Anakin.

“Y/n is a special person. I am glad she found herself here.” she said, glancing back at you.

“Yeah, it's utterly ridiculous but it feels right, her being here.” He agrees.

“It does, though I fear what it is she is here to stop. Our futures must be dark for the Force to bring us someone like her.” Padme admits.

“It’s okay, nothing will harm us whilst we have R2 with us.” He laughs.

“Well, it is a good thing that we saved your mother. Perhaps that was the pinnacle moment and everything is safe now.” 

“Perhaps, but then she would have to leave, I love having her here.”

“Are Jedi allowed to love? I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi?” Padme turned her chair toward him.

“No, we’re encouraged to love, possession and  attachment are forbidden; unconditional love, compassion are essential to a Jedi’s life. So you might say we are encouraged to love.” He smiled.

“You’ve changed so much.” Padme grins. 

“You haven’t changed a bit. You’re exactly the way I remember you in my dreams.” Their eyes meet for a moment, before Anakin looks away. Padme reaches out, taking his hand and pulling him around to look at her. Your eyes flutter open but on seeing the scene before you, you stay still, perfectly unmoving. Padme leans forward a small amount, her lips falling open to let out the shaky breath she was holding. You see Anakin visibly swallow, their eyes locked onto each others, when it stops. The moment stops entirely with both of them turning away from each other at the same time. “Shit” You whisper to yourself, adjusting your position and alerting them to your presence once more.

“Good morning sunshine.” Anakin, turned to you, “Just in time.! The ship dropped out of hyperspeed and you saw the lush green planet of Naboo rise in front of you. 

“It’s beautiful.” You say out loud. 

“It truly is.” Padme agreed. 

**************

After meeting with Padme’s family and the Queen it was decided that you would all travel to the lake country, to Padme’s holiday home and spend your time there. You were thankful that things were moving in the right direction again and you had managed to save Shmi. you hoped this would calm Anakin’s anger and keep him on a better path for longer. Perhaps it would give you time to figure out your next moves. Once shown to your room, a maid appeared at your door.

“Miss, Senator Padme requested these outfits be brought to you. She believes they will help you to blend in.” the maid bows her head and leaves again. A rail of dresses had been parked against the wall. Looking through them you realised they were alternate versions of the outfits she had worn in the movies. Like a dream come true you laughed out loud and decided to change. The soft chiffon-like material flowed around you. Wearing backless dresses had never been your choice before, but this one made you feel amazing, important in a way. The green, purple and blue colours flowed perfectly together. You brushed out your hair and left it down, against your back before leaving your room to look around the mansion. The sun had begun to set over the lake and you watched as Anakin and Padme walked across the patio, leaning on the ornate wall.

“We would swim to that island every day. I loved the water, we used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing.” 

“I don’t like sand, it is coarse and rough and irritating and gets everywhere. Not like here, here everything is soft, and smooth.” 

Wait, something was wrong. Anakin was still facing the water, not running his finger over her skin. You watch, frightened you had changed too much. With your breath held you watch as PAdme reaches out to him, her fingers touching his as she inched her body toward him. Anakin turned his head to her and she closed the gap between them. For a moment Anakin loses himself to the kiss, but he swiftly turns his head. 

“No, I shouldn’t have done that.” He pants. 

“I’m sorry.” She whispers and turns her head back to the water. Well it was different but at least they kissed right? Having seen enough and not knowing how the situation changed originally you step out of your hidden spot. 

“I’ve been looking for you two.” You call them, as they spin to face you. Anakin’s heart skips and he presses his lips together to keep himself controlled. Padme clapped her hands together before dancing over to you and taking you by the hand.

“You look beautiful in this dress y/n. I knew they would suit you.” She beamed, “doesn’t she look beautiful Anakin?” Padme encouraged him. Nodding quickly and steps closer to you.

“Yes, much…softer than the Jedi robes.” he breathes out. You feel the heat rise up in your cheeks.

“Thank you.” 

“I have to attend a meeting with the senate, I will be in the offices. Please make yourselves at home. I will be back for dinner.” Padme excuses herself, leaving you alone with Anakin once more.

“How long has it been since we left Obi-Wan?” You asked him as you walked through the gardens.

“A few days. Why?” Anakin seemed almost angry that you had brought up his master. 

“No reason, you two are the only people I know here really, I miss him. Don’t you?” You look away from the yellow rose you had been smelling and look at him.

“I suppose. This is my first assignment without him. He has been holding me back for so long.”

“No! Anakin no, I know it feels that way, sometimes our mentors see more of our faults than we would like, but I need you to trust me, Obi-Wan thinks so highly of you. You are more than a Padawan to him, you’re his brother, best friend and true family in this world.”

“I feel the same for him.” 

“I know you do. Anakin, please don’t think that anyone distrusts you, well only one person does but he’ll be swayed when we fix the future. Believe me.” you hold onto his bicep, “Obi-Wan is already recommending you for the trials. It will not long be long before you are knighted.” Your eyes beg him to believe you. The tenses muscles in his face soften, to a smile.

“I suppose, you know the future so I should believe you.” his eyes lock on yours, holding your gaze, tongue darting out to lick his lips and he leans in pressing his lips to yours. It’s as wonderful as you had always imagined and you felt yourself melting into his embrace until your mind sprung back to you. Leaping away from him you turned.

“No, you can’t do that. That isn’t right.” You almost sob.

“I’m sorry, I thought…” 

“No, you don’t understand. No matter how much I want that we can’t. You have to-” You sigh. “Anakin, this is important, you have to be with Padme, no matter what. You have to be, it’s important. I’m sorry. Will you promise me that you’ll be with her?” You ask, tears falling from your eyes. Anakin searches his mind, eyes darting left and right.

“I don’t understand, I don’t love her.” He too was crying.

“You do, well you need to. I can’t explain any more, I could ruin everything, just please, go to her, have dinner and be in love.” you force the words out. Anakin wants to argue with you but he can see there is no changing your mind.

“Because some things have to play out the same.” He repeated your words from days ago. 

“Promise me?” You whisper. 

“I promise.”

You want to reach out and take his hands, pull him to you in a hug but you know you cannot. Instead you turn and march out of the gardens back to your room. Throwing the dress haphazardly into your suitcase you pack your other things. Trying to quell the tears that keep falling. How could you have been so stupid to allow this? You should have been more mindful of yourself. no , there was no time to dwell on this, you had to leave and speak to Yoda, there were things that would need to change before the end of the coming war. As quietly as you could you run back to the dock and take a boat, rowing yourself across the lake, silently thanking your school for forcing sailing lessons on you all. 

On the other side you manage to find a member of the Naboo security and request transport back to Coruscant. They oblige you and soon you were once more in the air. Anakin would be told by R2 of your departure in the morning, though you were sure he must already know. Space felt colder than before as you sat alone, watching the speeding stars whoosh by you. A new weight bearing down on your shoulders. 

The transport drops out of hyperspace and halts all together. That was strange, that much you knew. Two guards came walking down the aisles, blasters in hand. They look at you.

“Sorry ma’am we need you to come with us.” You sigh at their words figuring Anakin must have sent them. You silently follow them to the front of the ship where a man in a helmet is waiting for you. No not a man, a mandalorian, the most famous mandalorian that has ever been in star wars, or well his father anyway.  Jengo Fett stood in front of you.

“No!” You try to back away but a blow to the back of your head knocks you out. 

In this state you wake, eyes adjusting to the new surroundings. People are gathering in front of you, all jostling to get to the front of something. You can hear a woman announcing something. 

“Haaaayydeeeen Christeeennssooonnn!” The crowd erupt into cheers the noise blasting through your ears. You find a path forward and somehow you reach the front barrier, as the actor walks across the stage. He is visibly taken back by the amount of love in the room, until his eyes fall on you. He pauses looking down, like he hadn’t been expecting to see you there.

“Y/N?” 

You look up at him, heart in your throat as he drops off the side of the stage and reaches out for you. Your own hand stretches out, “Anakin!” You call when there is a wave of power, like electricity coursing through your body and you turn to see a much darker room. You stumble back, your brain pounding against your skull. A man clad in a black suit and mask looms over his once Padawan. 

“No, Anakin!” You call out again and he turns to you. 

“Y/n? You’re here?” He begins to march toward you. “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t left I never would have become this!” The robotic voice shorts at you and you cower away from him. “No Anakin, please. I don’t know what’s happening. Help me!” You plead with the villain of your nightmares. 

A red lightsaber ignites and you feel the heat of it come close to your face. 

Your eyes shoot open once more and you see the sabre, not Anakin’s but another Sith standing before you.

“Count Dooku.” You say under your breath. 

“So it is true, you do know things you should not.” He uses the force to lift your body into the air. Across the room you see Obi-wan suspended in a trap.

“Where are Anakin and Padme?” He asks.

“I don’t know, I’m sorry I left them.” you drop your eyes.

“You are going to tell me everything you know.” Dooku points his weapon at you.

“No I won’t.” You clench your jaw. The once Jedi master lifts his hand in your direction, curling his fingers. Pain covers your body as if your skeleton was attempting to burst through your skin. You fight against it, not giving him the satisfaction of hearing you make a sound. He drops you. 

“Perhaps there is a better way to get you to talk.” He almost laughs when the bounty hunter steps into the room and whispers to him. 

“Wonderful. Take Master Kenobi to the pit.” 

You are unable to do anything as Jango drags Obi-Wan out of the room, his hands bound by 

Force quelling cuffs. The Count places a pair on you though you are sure you wouldn’t need them. Your body was still aching from the force he had used against you. Dooku crouches in front of you and you recall the stories of the actor who portrays him. If this version was even half the man Christopher Lee had been, you knew you were done for. 

“Perhaps seeing your friends die will motivate you.” he laughs once more and drags you along behind him. Forcing you to stand against the balcony wall. Your eyes find Obi-Wan being chained to a pillar. 

A door opens on the far side, allowing a carriage to pull out, and you notice Padme moving back from Anakin's body. Part of your heart breaks knowing that she has just confessed her love for him. You're helpless as they two are attached to pillars. Though you know how it will end and though some.good Jedi will die, you know you may be able to help in the next fight. 

Anakin looks up seeing you stood there and you see the confusion from your spot. 

"Do not worry, my Padawan, she has not deferred to the Count. He believes he can force her into telling him everything she knows. Have faith in her " 

"Is she hurt?" He asks. 

"She is well enough. Concentrate on yourself and our predicament if you will." Obi-Wan ordered his Padawan.

You do nothing but watch as the alien creatures are brought into the arena.

“Surely you do not want your friends to die?” Dooku asks you.

“If it is their fate then it will happen, I am not here to change it.” There is a lie but you hope you have covered it well enough. 

“When you were brought into me, something was happening to you. What was it?” He presses. 

“I was unconscious, you probably have a better idea than I do.” You spit out at him, the memories of what you had seen still playing through your mind. Was any of it real, or just some mind trick working against you? How could you know either way? You look back at the arena to see Padme scale the pillar and unlock the cuffs on her wrists. One of the creatures was climbing up after her. Anakin was using the chain still attached to his wrists to control one of the beasts. Though you knew help was on the way you still couldn’t stop the fear that bubbled inside you for their safety. Padme’s scream caught you off guard, so much worse in real life than on the screen. Blood splattered over the sand as her clothes and flesh tore. 

You watch as Padme leaps from the pillar landing on the beast behind Anakin, her hands coming down to hold his waist, Obi-Wan close behind them. That was when you noticed it, the way Padme held Obi-Wan’s leg as he climbed on behind her. It was always a rumour, a theory amongst some fans that they had an affair but could it be true, could this be the beginning of it? 

Dooku steps up beside you, placing his hand on your shoulder. One of the separatists growls out his disdain for the actions below them and tells Fett to finish off the Senator. 

“Patience, Viceroy, patience she will die.” Dooku grins, his eyes turning back to see the droids rolling into the arena. Your heart threatens to stop or burst out of you, until you feel it. A familiar presence behind you. The purple sabre alights and crosses Jango’s neck. You turn enough to see he and Dooku exchange words whilst still being able to see the arena where hundreds of Jedi appear. Some you had met before and some you had not. Dooku grabbed the collar of your robe and dragged you aside as battle droids appeared in the tunnel. Mace Windu had no time to help you as he began fighting them off. You catch a glimpse below as droids battled against the Jedi. Dooku stands to one side and watches it all unfold, his hand still holding you. As Jango flies off from behind you and into the fight you laugh. Dooku grips your shoulder tighter. 

“Say goodbye to your bodyguard, Count.” You snarl at him. Dooku l;eans forward seeing as MAce slices his sabre through the bounty hunter’s neck, removing his head from his body. The Helmet rolled across the floor. The Count lifted his hand and the droids all stopped firing standing to attention. This was it, Yoda would be here soon. 

“Master Windu, you have fought gallantly, worthy of recognition in the archives of the Jedi order. Now it is finished. Surrender and your lives will be spared.” 

You look down at them all. 

“We will not be hostages to be bartered, Dooku!” Mace shouted back to him. 

“Then I am sorry old friend.” The grip on your shoulder tightened once more as the heat of the Count’s sabre shot through your stomach. The Droids, each pointed their weapons at the Jedi once more as Anakin screamed up at you. Your legs began to buckle, falling back against Dooku. You see Yoda and the ships full of clones descend before Dooku drags you away from the balcony. Using the force to carry you he drapes your body over a speeder and, holding you against him as it rumbles into life and shoots away from the arena. You lose track of what is happening as he force carries you into a room with a large round holodeck. Slipping in and out of consciousness as he tells the separatists to leave the planet for the time being. Count Dooku stays behind. The ground rumbles as one of the star ships is brought down by the clones and you know a win is coming for the Jedi, but at what cost. 

“Try to remember.” You think to yourself. 

He has you on the speeder once more, flying through the battlefield. 

“It’s Dooku! He has y/n!” Anakin shouts. 

“Follow him, Anakin and I can handle this!” Obi-Wan calls to the pilot. Your breathing is beginning to slow. This can’t be how it ends? Surely you haven’t finished what you were sent here to do. 

A landing platform comes into view and he drops you to the ground beside the speeder. Dooku speaks with a droid for a moment. Behind you two pairs of footsteps come running in. 

“Y/n?” Anakin’s voice is laced with fear. You turn and look up at them. 

“Anakin, take him together!” You force every bit of authority you could muster into your voice and he nods to you. The pair circle the Count and the fight begins. You aren’t aware of much that happens until you hear Obi-Wan smack down on the ground, crying out in pain. He is close to you and you can see the blood on his shoulder and leg.

“Anakin!” You call out as Dooku comes in with an attack. He beats down on Anakin’s lightsabre. Mustering every ounce of strength you have you put up your hand and feel Obi-Wan touch your leg. 

“Concentrate, feel it flow through you.” his words are a whisper in your mind and you push forward. Dooku’s body flings backwards, his sabre simply clipping Anakin’s chest. Behind him, your green saviour appeared. Anakin stumbled back to you, a hand clamped over the wound on his chest and he pulled you into his arms.

“Master?” 

“I’m alright Anakin.” Obi-Wan replies. Anakin holds you to him, resting his hand over your jaw. 

“I did it, I did what you asked me to do, but you cannot leave me, y/n. Please don’t.” his tears dripped onto your face. Could you tell him right now about force healing? Break all the continuity of the movies and fix everything? 

“I’ll be okay, Anakin.” Your words are forced and you don’t believe any of them. 

“Ani!” Padme comes running in, dropping beside you. Obi-Wan pulls himself into a sitting position and you try to wriggle out of Anakin’s grasp. Realising what you are trying to do the young Jedi reluctantly passes you his Master, his bottom lip quivering. Padme instantly pulls him into her and they all begin their movements away from the scene. Dooku having retreated and sped away moments before. 

*****************

It is days before you awake again, you are in the healing halls of the Jedi temple on Coruscant. There is a hand beside yours, one finger resting above your own, you look over at who it belongs to. Obi-Wan had fallen asleep in the chair beside your bed.  You had to admit in the low light of the room his face was still young and handsome. 

“Obi-Wan?” You say softly and he instantly opens his eyes. 

“You’re awake? Oh thank goodness. You had us all worried for a long time.” He leans forward, fully taking hold of your hand. 

“How long have I been out?” You ask. 

“Almost a week. The healers struggled to work on you. For some reason the force would not allow it. They had to use old ancient methods of healing instead of the Force.” Obi-Wan explained. 

“Are you okay, and Anakin?” 

“Yes, we are fine.” 

Your mind caught up with you. 

“Does Anakin still have both hands?” you rush out the question, cursing Obi to laugh. 

“Yes, little one he has both hands. I assume in the stories he does not.” 

“No, Dooku cuts off his right arm.” you admit. “I need to speak to Yoda and Mace.” You try to sit up, feeling the pain in your stomach again. “Whoh.” you pant for a moment. The wound was healed with only a scar left to show you had ever been impaled. 

“You still need to rest, y/n. There will be time.” Obi, tried to settle you back against the bed. 

“No, there isn’t. The Chancellor has control doesn’t he. I need to stop the war. I won’t let people die, I won’t let you and Anakin get hurt.” You push against him. 

“Little one, still yourself. We can get you to them, but slowly. Anakin is off-world taking his trials. I am safe here with you. Do not panic.” 

“You don’t understand, if I don’t stop this there will be all out war for years, and then Anakin..he is the chosen one Obi-Wan but he cannot become close to Palpatine.” You had started to cry again. Obi-Wan put his arms around you and hugged you close to him. 

“Anakin is the thing you fear isn’t he?” He asks you. All your resolve breaks and you cry into his chest. 

“You do not need to tell us anything. Except for when it is relevant. You and I will work to keep Anakin from becoming the evil you fear, but as you say, things must happen in the correct way or our world could fall apart.” He patted your back and rested his chin on your head. “When Anakin returns he is to be given a Padawan of his own. The council believes it will help to ground him. Do we allow it?” he asks you. 

“Yes Ahsoka will be wonderful for him, she grounds him very well.” You answer through your sobs. Pulling back from him and looking into his green eyes. “Obi-wan, we have to make sure that Anakin and Padme stay together. There will be children and they must be born. I cannot ruin history by taking them away.” 

Obi, screws up his face in thought. “It is not the Jedi way, but if you say it is needed, then we will do what we must.” 

You nod. 

A healer comes by a few moments later and agrees that you can leave the hospital, but you are to take it easy and do nothing strenuous. Obi-Wan agrees to train you in meditation until Anakin’s return from the trials. It is useful in keeping your emotions in check. It was three days until you saw Anakin again as he approached you, his smile widened and you noticed the lack of his braid. Beside him Mace Windu beamed with pride. 

“Master Kenobi, your training has been successful, Anakin passed the trials with a higher ability than we have ever seen. You should both be very proud of him.” It was strange for you to hear Windu speak so highly of Anakin and it made you feel warmth in your chest. A good warmth not the warmth Dooku caused you. Obi patted Anakin on the shoulder and congratulated him before wandering off with Mace. Anakin threw his arms around you and hugged you to him.

“It was wonderful, y/n, just as you said. Master Windu is treating me like a peer not a burden and I passed the trials. I couldn’t have done it without you.”  he spun you round and before you or he knew what he was doing he pressed his lips to yours. You push him back and turn away. 

“Anakin.” your hand flew to your mouth. 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..I just-” he cut himself off. 

“It’s okay, but you need to keep your promise.” you say keeping a distance between you both. 

“I did, she is in love with me. I did it.” he protested, you shake your head. 

“Oh Anakin, it is so much more than that. You have to stay with her. It’s imperative that you do. Please. You have to marry her.” 

“Marry her? y/n are you mad? I can't, I don't love her!” he took a step closer to you but you retreat by two. 

“You have to.” 

“Because of stupid stories told about us in your world. If you love the stories so badly why don’t you just go back to your world and listen to them instead of hurting us all?” his face had hardened as he spoke. 

“Anakin,” You hold up your hand in a pleading gesture and take another step back, your back hitting the wall. 

“No, why did you bother coming here if you’re going to force me into doing exactly what you were here to stop? How can you-” His chest rose and fell with heavy breaths, “I thought…you are just like everyone else. You don’t belong here, I should just-” 

Looking up at him, Anakin toward above you, his hot breath fanned over your face and you felt nothing but fear. Your mind was unable to see anything but the man who would kill so many. All your words caught in your throat. You could no longer hear his words and as he raised his hand you were unsure what he was doing but you flinched back dropping to the floor and covering your face as hot tears fell from your eyes. 

Anakin had softened and knelt down beside, taking hold of your shoulders but you could not hear his gentle tone, only the echoing of the mechanical breathing he would one day behold. You scream and push at him, knocking him backward. The commotion had allerted Obi-Wan and Mace back to you. Obi-Wan force pulled you to him, you clutched at his robes body shaking with sobs. 

“What happened?” Mace demanded. Anakin shook his head. 

“I don’t know.” Anakin answered before turning and running away. 

It took almost an hour for Obi to calm you enough for you to explain what had happened. The Jedi Master sat with you pressed to his chest, stroking your hair and shushing you. 

By the following day Anakin was standing in Naboo, beside Padme, declaring their love for each other by the lake. R2 and C3-PO behind them. Subtleties 

End of part one. 

Part two. Please leave comments and interact with this story.

[cosmik-homo]

Running here to say someone JUST told me they will read death gate, so the pyramid scheme is working :)

I'm really glad I read it, I had a lot of fun! The final books didn't quite hit the mark for me but as a whole it was a really nice series :) what are your favorite parts if you don't mind me asking?

Yayyyy my empire grows!

I've been really rotating in my mind how to answer this, for basically the whole day. There's very much a case here of "the thing you latch on to as a 12 year old is gonna stay with you forever", and this series helped me unlock a lot of things that have become central to my life, from grappling with sexuality and gender in my tweens and teens to. Very actively opening the door to question the Zionist assumptions I grew up with.

And I do think that despite certain pitfalls (looking at you pryan) the politics of the series are pretty cool, for a fantasy shlock- the validation of rage and vengence instincts on the side of the opressed as real and human (as opposed to bestial or barbaric) while also being unconstructive to creating actually better futures to any sides involved, and the necessity of solidarity and empathy and models of shared life and whatnot are all kind of relevant to what I believe and do with local circles.

But more than that, I really love the character dynamics. Haplo's arc is just a really good examination and deconstruction of fantasy masculinity tropes, and its beautiful and cool and explains how toxic masculinity as we refer to it today functions very well for something written before the phrase was coined.

And Alfred...

Ok, I am entirely incapable of being impartial about Alfred "dopamine creator in chief" Montbank but before I go down that rabbithole, i think what I really want to say here is I often feel the way i recommend or advocate for the death gate cycle in itself kind of ruins for others one of the things I like about it the best and the most and find delightful, which is the entire Bait And Switch ordeal.

It's unique, it's fun, it manages Layers, and it's so interesting in it's meaning.

AUTHORS NOTE: I am going to literally physically cut off the incoming alfred rant when it reaches 300 words. i will let myself write it as much as i want cuz god knows i need the serotonin, this is my version of chasing my own tail, and then just cut it at that cuff.

~~~

What Alfred means and represents and does and is in the books is so cool, and it's another thing that being fixated on dgc changed for me. I used to enjoy star wars the way a normal person would, once upon a time. It was Alfred-Majoring that made me c3po crazy. cuz its like, what kind of people are important to a story, what kind of abilities and attitudes and emotions and symptoms are "normal" and "good" to have on screen or page, as opposed to how we as people react to traumatizing or difficult situations in real life? He's an active expriment in discomfort with the pathetic in yourself and in others, in empathy, in being allowed to exist and be loved and meaningful Ugly and Weird. yeah in some ways its just an ugly duckling but. the whole swan/dragon side coming to the foorefront doesnt make the duck not there, hes just an extremly wonderful and powerful ugly, neurotic swan and its awesome.

The fact that being outside a system because youre too weak or odd to belong or manage to fit in it brings you unique opportunity to question if it's necessary or good.

I read a lot of margaret weis interviews and she never directly talked about writing alfred but she does often mention she doesnt read a lot of sf/f- her favorite authors are actually dickens and austen, and between that and the prufrock connection tm I wouldn't be surprised if alfred was purposefully designed to be a Literary character dropped into a SF/F story- and its sooo interesting in how it interacts with the genre convetions of power/magic/masculinity/trauma/danger etc.

~~~

OK that 278 words but I'm gonna cut it off now, I finished my entire coffee and then some crackers. normal behavior ensues-

On a less Analytical viewpoint of "favorite parts" I will say that the plot, dynamic and Imagery of fire sea is the one I find myself returning to most on a sf/f level - being reminded of it whenever necromantic societies come up, or Life Changing Enemies To Working Together Field Trips, or whatnot- Serpent Mage is i think the best constructed and I am often thinking about the social dynamics Alfred experiences there, and I have a deep and unbridled affection and obsession to the iconic mess of a jumble of a novel that is seventh gate because. sometimes, you just need dragontorture/ xars murderous paternal bedwarding / ghost handhold/ psychicthreesome/ dog based ressurection / closing the gate/ epilogue with children serotonin in life. that was balls to the walls the entire way through. and it rocked.

As i recently explained to a very cool person who ran a lecture on deathgate in a local convention: "When i was thirteen i was like oh i love basing my identity on dragonlance lets go for a fun ride. ooh its kinda slashy yayy. and then the existential teenage conditions hit and i started appreciating the Mental Health Representation, and then the panic attack representation looked me in the eye and said Become Leftist. NOW. we were not joking about the opening your worldview arc it isnt a metaphor this is directly about you. YOU need to fight the horrors in a radical kindness and peace way, even though you have crippling fear, right now. and then i did".

AND there's dogs, and dragons, and gay people devotion. so,

Prince D wants to knock some sense into both of them

Oh, trust, he has already tried that. Unfortunately for him, he tried it on the same day Branch and Lownote Jones were testing their "Laser of Guarantied Amplified Robustification of Yourself" aka G.A.R.Y. L23v.B and they thought Prince D was just REALLY enthusiastic on helping them on testing /hj

Also yes, all of Branch's (and most of LJ, bcz they work together 99% of the time ofc) are acronyms that spell out Gary. Don't worry tho, they get around the confusing naming convetion by specifing the typo of invetions (L for laser), the cronological number of that type of invetion (yes, Branch has invented 23+ types of lasers, next question) and the current version of that invetion (G.A.R.Y. L23v.A self-combusted, rip)

(I put WAY too much thought on a joke response to a reply to my joke scenario a wrote months ago, but thats life I guess /silly)

(I am so sorry it took me so long to answer it, I have 100 asks in my inbox)

I could absolutely see Branch naming all his inventions Gary

[sexisdisgusting]

Oh my god Lenka your RB with the 'all dogs hate terfs' thing I gotta tell you the FUNNIEST shit that reminded me of so i got a dog, he's a small guy but he's very loud and protective. He can tell men make me nervous so he obviously growls and tries to intimidate any unfamiliar man that gets too close to us when we are out and about like the little guardian angel he is.

One time we were at a park together with an anime convetion happening nearby aparently and this very obvious troon dressed as an anime girl came up to us and began comicaly aaawing and squealing over how cute my dog is (felt like he was mocking women tbh but might just have been my personal bias against his kind) and he asked me if it's okay to pet him. I told him he really hates men so i wouldn't try it, he's never bitten anyone but being cornered by a man in an attempt to pet him might make him feel the need to defend himself so i wouldn't try it. Sure enough my dog was busy barking and growling, standing slightly infront of me and his fur was in a little mohawk (idk the english term you know the mohawk dogs get on their necks when theyre agressive) The troon told me it would be fine since he isnt a man and i told him my dog is literaly an animal who can tell what he is no matter what he wants other humans to call him and the troon eventualy just scoffed and left with his middle finger up wich i found funny since they always talk about killing terfs and he didnt even like...verbally fight me or anything lol

Important about countries pulling funding from UNRWA:

Ayyy, Germany deciding International Holocaust Remembrance Day was the perfect date to start directly violating the Genocide convetion again!

@my fellow Germans: This better make you furious. Seriously, I'm not joking around or making excuses for your silence anymore. This should infuriate you. Your protests against the AfD and other right-wingers aren't worth shit if you don't speak out about this. Your "Never Again" means nothing if you stay silent when Germany literally does it again.

@everyone else: It's not just Germany (I'm just adressing them separately because I've got a bone to pick with my own country and their complicity right now), a lot of countries cut funding to UNRWA yesterday because of an accusation by Israel that 12 members of UNRWA's staff were involved in the 7th October attacks. So check whether your country also cut funding to UNRWA and if they did - get furious, protest, call your reps, etc.

Seriously, think about this for just a second: A LITERAL DAY after the ICJ ordered that Israel must let more humanitarian aid into Gaza, most western countries cut off aid to the organisation delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Because of unverified claims by Israel, all of these governments are willing to cut off funding of help to all Palestinians in Gaza immediately (which is also a war crime by the way - Collective Punishment - all of our governments are now literally commiting a war crime themselves), but a genocide accusation against Israel that the ICJ has accepted and deemed "plausible" isn't enough to stop those countries from still delivering weapons to Israel. HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT? Israel can just claim something and all of these governments will act and even go against the ICJ's orders to help them kill more Palestinians, but the ICJ's orders themselves aren't enough to make any government stop helping to kill Palestinians.

When you all call & write to your reps, mention this! Demand that your governments resume funding UNRWA and mention the ICJ's ruling (in particular the provision to let more humanitarian aid into Gaza) to back up why!

And also:

Yeah, what she^ said. This is 100% Israel's revenge for their defeat in court.

(Does anyone know whether them doubling down harder now and asking other countries to cut off funding for humantarian aid can at least be used as more evidence by South Africa in the genocide case now? If the ICJ finds in a month that Israel hasn't done enough to abide by their orders, will there be any consequences? Can they issue another preliminary ruling?)

REALITY...

POV: 3RD PERSON

9:45 AM

Y/N'S PLACE:

y/n was in her bathroom doing her facial routine for vidcon when she heard a faint sound of her phone ringing. she got up and walked in her room searching for her phone. she lifted up the blanket on her bed to find her phone buzzing. she flipped the phone over to find that her manager, miguel was calling. "Hello?" she answered "I have a job for you today. You're performing at vidcon. Like singing." y/n's face lit up at the thought of her performing at vidcon for all her fans. "OMG! Are you serious.?" y/n asked still in shock.

"Deadly." her manager stated. y/n silently jumped up and down in excitement. "What time do I need to be there?" y/n questioned. "12. But you might want to get there a little earlier being as it can get very hectic. You remember last year." her manager explained, laughing a little at the end. y/n chuckled a little at the thought of last years vidcon, the two hung up as y/n went to her closet to grab some gray gallery dept sweats, a white fitted long-sleeve top, and her white/black/gray retro 4's, along with her gray beanie, keys, purse and her phone as she walked out of her room, downstairs, out the door, and to her car.

10:04 AM

STURNIOLO HOUSE:

the triplets and megan were all getting ready to go to vidcon. they all got dressed and headed down stairs to eat breakfast. "So what creators are gonna be there?" chris said breaking the silence. "I know for sure that my favorite tiktoker is gonna be there. She's like the best. I can't wait for you guys to meet her." megan squealed. nick and chris looked at her in confusion, being they never really liked megan. similar to someone, they really missed y/n.

that's why they still keep in contact with her. "Who is it?" matt asked with a confused expression on his face. "You'll find out when we get there." megan stated. "Uh, guys I think we should get going. We don't wanna get caught up in traffic this time. Remember last year?" chris changed the subject, laughing at the last part. "I agree." nick said. the group finished eating, gathered their things and left.

11:40 AM

ANAHIEM CONVETION CENTER:

y/n was in her dressing room just chillin when she heard a knock at her door. "come in!" y/n yelled. her manager walked in with a rack that had a white dress and some bedazzled heels on it. "ok so this is what you're wearing on stage." miguel stated grabbing the dress and showing her. "thanks, i love it." y/n said admiring her dress. "you're welcome" miguel said as he walked out. y/n smiled to herself. she sat back down and got on her phone.

12:05 PM

a few moments later she got a text on her phone from miguel saying "come on out the ppl are waiting!". y/n grabbed her phone as she walked out of her room. she made it to the door of the building and walked into the big room, with all the booths, and tables, and people. every section she walked by people were screaming and cheering for her. she laughed as she walked over to her section, and everyone started screaming. "OMG HI!." one fan said. "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! CAN I GET A PIC!" another said.

y/n got flustered and she felt her cheeks go hot. she smiled and waved at the fans, as she went to sit down at her booth. even some people from other booths were running over to hers. that's how much people loved her. she started grabbing books, and papers, and started signing them. she even took some pictures. y/n was happy until...

12:10 PM

the triplets walked into the building and to their booth while megan went to grab a chair and sit on the sidelines, since she was kind of irrelevant in this situation. she watched as all the girls piled up all over the triplets. giving them hugs, and fake little kisses on the cheek. some might say she even got jealous. the boys signed some books, and papers as well. they also took pictures, you know the usual. megan was kind of getting tired of it, so she went to go see if her favorite tiktoker was here. she walked around for some time, until she came up on a long, line. she gazed her view from the back of the line to the front. she met eyes with y/n. she smiled and waved, y/n smiled back as megan ran to the line, to wait for her turn.

the guys took a break from taking pictures and went back to signing autographs as matt looked around for megan. "Guys, where's Megan?" matt asked confused. why would she leave without telling him. "Don't know don't care." nick said with a bit of an attitude in his voice. "Same here." chris said with a sarcastic tone. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?" matt asked. he always wondered why the boys would act like that whenever megan was brought up, or she said something. "What do you mean?" nick said, acting clueless as usual. "You know what the hell I mean. Why do you guys act that way towards her?" matt asked started to get irritated. "BECAUSE WE DON'T LIKE HER!" the boys yelled out of frustration. the fans jumped back a little at the tone of voice that was being used.

the triplets went back and forth for a little while longer until matt saw megan running excitedly. "OMG MATT! LOOK I GOT HER SIGNATURE!" megan yelled. before matt could get a good look at the autograph, smoke started shooting out of canons, and everyone looked towards the stage. lots of people started running towards the stage to figure out what was going on. before everyone knew it CoryxKenshin walked out onto the stage.

"What's up everybody. It's ya boy CoryxKenshin and welcome to Vidcon! We have a special guest joining us today. She has over 4.3M followers on tiktok and she just got to 1M subscribers on YouTube. Please welcome our special guest!" Cory exited the stage as 'Good 4 U' started blast on the stage speakers. y/n entered stage left in her dress in heels. she walked like a model. once she reached the mic she grabbed it, spun around and blew a kiss at the crowd. everyone started cheering and y/n started singing. "Well good for you I guess you moved on really easily."'

matt was frozen he didn't know what the hell to do, as he looked towards the stage to find a familiar face.

MATT POV

i looked towards the stage and i saw a girl who looked to be y/n. she looked so...different. she looked good. she dyed her hair. she shaped up. damn, is that what breakups do to someone. i-i can't believe she's here. and where did she learn to sing like that. i felt megan's grip on my arm and she jumped up and down signing with y/n.

Y/N POV

"Well good for you I guess you're getting everything you want." 'you bought a new car and your careers really taking off' i sung. wow, this was amazing, i cannot believe i am on stage right now. wait is that who i think it is. oh my fucking god. it's matt. omg i cannot believe i signed her picture and she dates...matt.

MATT POV

damn she's really good. wait is this the tiktoker megan was talking about? is this the whole reason megan wanted to come? i can't believe how much y/n's changed. i wonder...has she been thinking about me to?

Y/N POV

why does he keep staring at me. maybe he's enjoying it. alright maybe i should do something big for the end to impress him. or make him jealous. i think i should jump into the crowd. 'like a damn sociopath, i've lost my mind and i've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom' alright get ready.

3RD POV

y/n got ready to finish the song as she l=made eye contact with matt. she jumped off the stage and into the crowd. she made her way onto the floor in the middle right with megan and matt. they made eye contact. she spun around whipping him in the face with her long goddess braids as she ran back up stage and finished the song. "Well good for you I guess you moved on really easily."

MATT POV

well ouch for one. why did she jump off the stage and come to me. why did she make eye contact with me. why did she whip her hair onto me. i can't help but to think this song, this performance, that dress, the new look, was all meant for. me.

FROM VENUSღ hey guys! hope you liked this chapter, it was A LOT to write! how did y'all like my suprise. i mean coryxkenshin, like what ? when did he get here. anyways remember my dm's are always open, so if you have any ideas or suggestion, i'm happy to help. :)

[randomnameless]

This is just something that I wanted to ramble a little about because I was skimming through Teaspoon Translations. ^^

It bothers me that some of the Supports do not impact the plot, like this one. It actually seems like Edelgard got some character development here [unless she's lying, which would not be out of character for her]. However, based on what I recall, her perspective on faith remains unchanged throughout the plot. So...what was the point of the developers making this support?

Honestly, at this point, I wonder if this game would have been better as a book series [arc 1 could have been the War of Heroes, arc 2 could have been White Clouds, and arc 3 could have been the timeskip, preferably Silver Snow, in my opinion]. >.<"

Hi, sorry for replying late!

As you said, sometimes she... says things people want to hear, so I wouldn't know what is her general opinion about faith, but I think some other people made theories about it and it was basically something like while she doesn't like faith because she believes it makes people weak and unable to stand on their own... she also has no qualms replacing the Goddess figure (a non human) by herself, and in the A support of this chain, Manuela says (iirc?) she is now inspired by Edel herself, and not the Goddess?

It's the same faith, but not the same recipient.

But yes, back to this part of their support, she seems to realise people can be devout while not being "weak" as she at first thought.

About supports showing character development, you also have the Cyril/Claude ones, where, on top of revealing Claude doesn't know a thing about Almyra and maybe should get his bases covered when it comes to Almyra and how it treats its people, ultimately has him agree that Rhea is a benevolent figure for Fodlan, and he doesn't have to make an enemy out of her because they both want the same thing : to help people who have no place/status/standing in the world.

I feel like only Dimtri's supports are integrated in the story or show development that doesn't contradict his actions, but it's mostly because he is support locked for a good chunk of the AM chapters lol

And while I'd have loved to get a game divided in three parts like this... Sadly after playing the WoH part, Edel's discourse and goals and what not are completely inaudible and full of crap, so the main crux of the game "can you fight against the red emperor of the game if the red emperor was your precious student you've bonded with uwu?" would fall apart after her first lines!

"Crusts BaD and are the reason why the world sucks and it's those lizard's fault" is laughable and would pretty much piss people if you played a first part of the game where you learnt what Crests are, how people conveted it and how they came to be "distributed" to humans - especially as the game never ever challenges her directly saying that crests are just a tool, and people can decide to use them for good or wrong reasons - we know how she reacts when she is challenged like this from FE Heroes, she vanishes away...

Comiket

When I was little I always wanted to go to comiket in Japan, I was very into anime and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I aleady participated in my own countries conventions but the older I got and the more i heard from japanese guests and events around other convetions around the world I realized that comiket seems to be rather boring. One day I asked a friend of mine, he is Japanese and he went to comiket once during the summer. He told me it's awful, everyone is sweating, it's hot and its all just for a few comics made by amatures. This is where my dream really did come to a crash and I never wanted to try going to comiket especially during summer. Well, Yesterday it finally happened. I went to comiket during summer. I didn't see the pretty cosplays, I did not stand in line I got in right away, the building was huge and the amount of people was overwhelming. I got lost and separated from people often, and I was not insterested in most of the comics or general handmade goods they offered. I am no longer a kid thats interested in everything and anything anime, I am not into yaoi, I'm ace and the 18+ stuff was way way too much and way too in your face especially when some of the stalls had child sellers (about 8-10 years old) right next to the very uncencored 18+ big boobied doujin. Not to mention the Child corn. so so much child corn. Other than that hololive took over the vocaloid items and over all i felt out of place in a place I thought I belonged once. The only place I enjoyed genuinely is the same place I enjoy in my own country, the Copic stalls. I just bought a bunch of pens and manga material. I think I rather make my own stories than buy other peoples. I did find some gems that I like, I found a funny bag that has cat pompoms on display, I found a comic about an angel helping with house work and I got the last doujin of a jirai kei girl :)

[ask-lir]

Time for a Lore Drop as ive become much more happier with Lirs Story. well i struggle with the normal convetions of an ask blog its still quite fun :>

So for one I have lir to be much older than he was before. rather than being an edgy story for his history hes now just a ball of magic that over time sort off collected itself and gained a conscious that even hes not sure of. he perked from a lake below the crystal empire as i like to think that with rainwater going down the mountain and the natural magic in the earth getting caught in the water is where he comes from but even then im not sure.

For a while he took on no form, before mimicking animals in the forest north of ponyville (the large one generally believed to hug Fluttershys cottage, and be below cloudsdale from when fluttershy fell) at some point he did meet some ponies being Sapphire and Lumi (Up for change) so he mimics them then before slowly changing into his own form he holds onto now. Sap and Lumi have long sense passed and Lir stays more hidden in the forest.

He cranky and admitally cold to ponies for his own reasons and often leads them out of what he veiws as his forest. finding encroaching development harmful to the animals he has grown to care for. he lives in a rundown old cottage, although lived is a debatable word but it well taken care of. he is own to growl and bare teeth like a wolf before being friendly just due to how he has experienced life although he also enjoys pranking those who return, or fouls who come in based on a dare. he doesn't actually ever attack or harm as he more wishes to scare or mess with them. he does however show signs of curiosity and an interest to learn more things but is unwilling to leave his forest due to his distrustful nature.

ive given him the nicknames "Ghost of North Woods / Winter Prince" as he will often switch between a sort of magical blob and using a water body. he has noted that no pony has both a horn and wings and hes unaware of the status associated. for a while he did sport wings but now he opts to not form them unless he wants to be annoying and freak/prank someone out.

He takes after the animals as well, well he is not bonded to one animal in partular he is a general help. letting them drink from his "hair" and being just portable drinkable water. he dosent tend to see the same animal often so he treats them all well.

He dose have sharp teeth like a dog/wolf as it seemly seems to freak out most ponies who come by.

i like to say that at one point, well the rail road though the mountains to the crystal empire was being built Lir was a bit of a pain often causing havoc and rain as he didn't like the railroad as it seems to separate the forest from the lake there. even if a train likely comes once every day or less really.

The Subtleties of the Force - Part two

You are from this world, but at a convetion you stumble into the world between worlds, eventually falling into the Star Wars galaxy. Slow burn Anakinxreader content due to reader trying to keep the timeline straight.This is a long one, as I had put all chapters below so strap in. Begins at the start of AOTCFem reader, I hope you enjoy. Part one here

To read chapterly updatesclick here

It had been three years since you had been stabbed by Count Dooku and in those years you had watched the galaxy change. Though you had managed to recall at least some of the major events, helping to bring down several separatists along the way. Upon the council’s wishes Obi-Wan had taken you on as a student, though you refused the title Padawan or joining the Jedi order they had agreed it was in your best interest to learn how to wield the power you had. You had also convinced the council that some of their rules had become all but obsolete. Explaining to them that love was not a thing that should be shunned, but utilised. 

Ki-Adi Mundi had to agree with you, his marriages had proven not only fruitful to his species but to his own mental health. It helped that almost all of the children exhibited force sensitivity. To this the council agreed and love was now part of the code. Giving Anakin the chance to live with his wife in the open.

Your relationship with Anakin had dwindled, attempting to keep your own heart protected you had kept yourself away from him, only interacting if your missions involved each other. Every time you saw him, he would try to speak to you, catch you alone in some way but each time you would silently turn away from him. It stung his pride of course it did, but it was necessary. 

You had kept him away from the Chancellor at least. Having him promise that any thoughts or fears he might have he would go to Yoda with. How could he refuse you? 

Turning around from your place at the dining table you see Shaak Ti walking toward you. 

“Your information is invaluable y/n. We have managed to finally remove the inhibitor chips from every clone and stopped the production of them. The council owes you a great debt.” 

You smiled and thanked the Master Jedi for her words.  There is a commotion behind her and you both move to look at what was happening. Anakin and Ahsoka stood with a crowd around them, each Jedi cheering them for their great feats. You rolled your eyes. 

“Excuse me, Shakk Ti, I am needed elsewhere.” You excuse yourself and head for the door on the opposite side of the room, heading out to the hallway. Your whole body wants to run to your friend and wrap your arms around him, you had missed the opportunity to get to know Ahsoka in order to stay away from him. Though you had ensured she would not get the blame for the explosion when it happened. Your mind was so focused on your memories that you walked straight into Mace Windu and Obi-Wan. 

“Ah, excellent, we were just looking for you. Will you come with us?” You nod to the two older men and follow them along the hall. 

“What happens if we send them?” Mace asks. You aren’t sure if you should say, your eyes glance up at Obi-Wan who nods. 

“We have intelligence that the Chancellor has been taken hostage by Count Dooku and General Grievous on a starship.” you halt at Windu’s words.

“No. Do not do it. Don’t send anyone, especially not Anakin. This is it, this is where it begins.” your words are quiet but it makes both men turn to look at you. 

"I don't think we need to. It is time, I think, for me to tell you all what is happening. Could you call the council?" You ask them. Obi-Wan nods, placing his hand on your shoulder. 

“In the story you send Obi-Wan and Anakin with a squadron. They take the ship, there are some casualties. Obi-Wan is knocked unconscious and Anakin…Dooku’s death is the beginning of the end for him. It could be different now, the Chancellor does not hold the same power over him as he did before. I just don’t think we should risk. Please send someone else.” you all but beg them at the end.

“You and I then, my young one.” Obi smiles at you. The confidence he has in you is possibly misplaced. 

"Alright dear one. I will call for you when we are ready." You nod to your Master and quietly watch them walk away. 

"You've been avoiding me again." Anakin's voice appears in your ear and you turn to see his face close to yours. 

"No, I have been busy. There is a war on, if you haven't forgotten." There is an attempt to be funny and deflect his accusation. 

"Please don't push me away. I've done everything you asked of me. All these years." It's the same plea each time he catches you. 

"Master Skywalker, I heard of your promotion, I should have congratulated you earlier." You try to change the subject. 

"Thank you. Can I, can I see you? Properly see you. I have so much to tell you." 

"You should see your wife, she will.no doubt have some news for you." 

He scoffed at your words. 

"She has hardly spoken to me in the last year. Too busy with her many male visitors to worry about me." 

"What do you mean?" You ask, dropping your disinterest. 

"She has affairs, I don't blame her. I am not a husband that she can rely on. I tried, I really tried it, for you I tried but I couldn't do it, so I've taken every mission I could to stay away from her because…because I dream about you. I know you've grown close with Obi-Wan and I understand if you…if you love him." 

Your hand resting on his forearm stops his words. 

"Anakin, I'm so sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing. You were supposed to have children with her-" 

"Well I haven't and it is has been nothing but torture. Every single day I question why you made me do this and you never give me answers as to why." 

You take a step back from him. 

"Anakin, you don't understand-" 

"I do! It's me isn't it? The Great evil you are here to stop. I know it, from that day after Geonosis, the way you looked at me." He didn't approach you, but took his own step backward and slumped against the wall. 

"I'm sorry, Anakin." In truth your heart was breaking. You had wanted to tell him everything you had seen and known but he had gone before you had a chance. 

"I should've told you a long time ago. In the stories you fall to the darkside, seduced by the dreams you have of Padme's death. The ch, Darth Sidious uses your insecurities to warp your mind." 

"The chancellor? That's why you didn't want me to see him? I've had no dreams of Padme's death." Anakin admitted. 

"Maybe-"

"Only yours." His words cut through you. 

"Mine? What do you see?" You ask. 

Anakin takes in a long deep breath, his hand finding yours when he finally stands back to his full height. 

"I see you, standing in front of a hooded man, then you are on the floor, bloody and crying. I can't get to you in time and before you. It's like when you first came here and you kept phasing out, but you don't come back." A single tear drops down his face. 

You have no response that sounds remotely right so you simply stand there, holding his hand. 

"I wish we could go back to then, when you first came here." Anakin spoke softly. 

"So do I." You whisper back to him. 

"Y/n?" Obi-Wan's voice called out to you through your mind. 

"The council is ready for us, come on." You say to Anakin turning on your heel and all but marching through the halls. Over the years you had prided yourself on learning the layout of the temple, at least enough to always get you to your dormitory and the council chambers. The large doors still held as much fear as they did that first day. Your chest beat in your ears as you approached. Obi-Wan stepped out to you, taking your hands. 

"You'll be okay, dear one. Just remember to breathe through it." Your eyes are held by his and the two of you appear to communicate through your minds. When you feel your thoughts clear enough to be coherent you nod to him and make your way inside.

"I have brought Master Skywalker with me, as he has a right to know all of this as well." You begin, "I'll jump straight to the chase. The eminent threat is the Chancellor. He is not who he has been pretending to be, rather he is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Apprentice to Darth Plagueis. He was planning order 66, which luckily should now be basically undoable with the inhibitor chips removed from the clones. Unfortunately he still has the droid army and the separatists on his side, not to mention the backing of almost the whole senate. There is evidence that we can get, including plans for a super ship that can destroy worlds called the death star." You stop thinking about what else you needed to say…"um there is a lightsaber in a statue in his office. He is strong though, and has force lightning." Your chest was starting to get right. "I don't…I can't, things are starting to get foggy. It's been a long time since I, um. He was going to turn Anakin, use the distrust you each had for him and his for you, cultivate it, but we changed that. Darth, Darth Maul is still alive, I don't-" you hold your hand to head. Somewhere behind you Anakin's voice echoes into your ears. Your body flickers. Visions of another world flash in front of you. No, not another world, your world, your real home. Where are you though? Not your apartment. A street, not a real street, a film set. 

"Y/n?" Anakin places his hand on your shoulder and you're back in the council chambers. 

"Anakin, I can't, I need…Obi-Wan." Your friend rises from his seat taking hold of your shoulders as you fall backward into him. 

"What is happening, Master Kenobi?" Kit Fisto asked. 

"I don't know." Obi-Wan answered, holding onto you. 

Pain severed through your mind, making you grasp at your head. The Emperor's face lit up in front of you as he laughed. Count Dooku dead before him with Anakin standing beside him. 

"He's in my head." You call out. One hand clutching to Obi-Wan as the other reaches out for Anakin. "Anakin, please. Stay away from the chancellor, don't go to him, don't let him-" you scream again and you feel memories being plucked from your mind. "Obi-Wan keep him safe, no matter what happens. You have to promise me, both of you!" You're crying but the tears are not water. Dark red stains your face. "In my room, my phone, it has more details. I wrote it all down before it died. Anakin, you're brilliant, you can make a way to charge the battery and get the information. Please I think

I'm losing it all." Bile rises up.in your throat and you can hear the cackling laugh of Palpatine inside your head. The Council had all stood, gathering around you as they watched your eyes slowly close. Your body cradled in Obi-Wan's lap. 

"No, y/n don't go. We can't lose you." Obi-Wan openly wept as you slipped away. 

************

Anakin smacked his hands against the wall as frustration overtook him once more. 

"What is taking them so long?" He growled. 

"It cannot be easy to convince an entire galaxy that the person they put in charge to keep them safe is the actual threat they were fearing." Shaak Ti reminded him. 

"They've been in there for five hours." Anakin stated. 

"Skywalker, you need to calm down, or leave." 

He huffed at her before sitting on one of the cold benches. 

Heavy footsteps walked up the hallway into his line of vision. A dishevelled Obi-Wan sat down beside his once Padawan. 

"Anything?' He asked. Shaak Ti shook her head. 

"Y/n?' Anakin asked, hopeful. 

Obi-Wan shook his head. 

"The healers will not allow me in. I have no news on her." 

"They cannot allow her to die." Anakin said to no one in particular. 

A door opens close by, Yoda walking out with his walking stick. 

"Go we must, our way it is not going." He announced. "The time of the Jedi, over it is, for now." All three Jedi stood and followed Yoda out of the senatorial building. 

"Into hiding we must go. To Anch-To we shall go. Gather everyone we must. Y/n you shall bring Kenobi." 

"My wife?" Anakin asks. 

"Sided with the senator she has. Behind she must stay." They all rush to the temple, where after a message was sent by Yoda on the way everyone was already making quick work of emptying the halls. Both Anakin and Obi-Wan ran to the halls of healing, where you had been placed into a Bacta tank in preparation to be moved. The healers acknowledge their arrival and work around them. 

"Masters?" Ahsoka appeared behind them. "I stayed with her like you asked, Master Kenobi." She stated. Anakin rubbed her shoulder. 

"You have done very well, young one. Are you ready to leave?" He asks gently. 

"Yes Master." 

Another woman steps up to them, introducing herself as Hani your personal healer for the trip. 

"Come, we have transport this way." She gestures to a door in the back and the two men push the tank you are in. The hallways have been darkened and it is hard for them to see where they are going. Nervous energy building around them until they arrived at a hanger. Two garrisons of clone troopers with both Rex and Cody were waiting alongside Plo Koon. 

"Come, we have little time before the droids arrive." Plo announced ushering everyone inside. 

"What is happening?" Ahsoka asked as her hands shook. 

"The senate have declared us war criminals and blame us for everything that is happening. We must all disappear for our own safety." Plo explained. 

"What about the safety of the galaxy?" She squeaked. 

"They will have to wait." He replied flatly and ended the conversation. 

Obi-Wan is attaching your bacta tank to the walls in the communal area of the transport ship. Anakin watches him press his hand to the tank. 

"Do you, are the two of you-?" He can't say the words but Obi-Wan understands him. 

"Besides you y/n is the closest thing I have to family. I love her very dearly, but no, Anakin there is nothing between us. Perhaps once we may have come close, a wayward thought of mine. Her feelings have never wavered. She is yours, heart and soul." Obi hoped his words would sooth his friend. Anakin walked up to the tank, looking into your silent face, a mask covering your mouth and nose. 

"I've missed her so much. Isn't it strange she's only been with us for three years?" Anakin said over his shoulder. 

"It feels like a lifetime ago." Obi agreed. 

Anakin stayed looking at you for many hours until Ahsoka finally persuaded him to get some sleep. The healer stood before you, a glint of a smile on her face. 

"Well, looks like you were wrong and you won't save them. You've just brought their fate quicker." Pressing a few buttons on the panel she walked away, leaving you. Your body twitched in pain, writhing and wriggling against the liquid. 

****************

Seventeen hours after the Jedi had left the known galaxy, and arrived at the first Jedi temple. Five days since your tank had been wheeled into the main temple inside the mountain. One hour since it had been broken and your body flung to the ground. 

Shaking and alone you wake. 

Your eyes shoot open as pain takes hold of your body once more. A whimper across the room alerts you to the healer's presence. She lifts herself off the ground, a shard of the tank glass lodged in her arm. 

"They said you were powerful, but this is something else. There is no way you could have broken through that drug" she yanked the glass from her arm as she spoke. 

"Drug?" You cough out, trying to lift your body from the ground. 

"Come now, you think he didn't know what you were? Of course he knew, he is the Emperor." She towers above you and you slump back to the ground, bacta liquid splashed around your limbs. 

"You may be able to survive the drug but can you survive being torn apart?" Her sadistic smile brought an acidic bile to your throat. 

"Obi-Wan, Anakin." You whisper their names as the healer draws her sabre. Using what little strength you have in your arms you try to crawl back, dragging your useless legs behind you. 

Hani used her abilities to lift you into the air, your body rising out the side of the temple and dangling over the cliff side. Below the other Jedi see this and come running. Obi and Anakin at the forefront. 

"You ruined the Emperor's plans. He wanted Skywalker, but he knows a better way to get him. Your death will reset his plans." Hani cackled but it's cut short as Obi-Wan's sabre drives through her body. You begin to fall. Anakin leaps off the temple following you. Your eyes meet and you reach up your arms to him. His body crashes into yours, pulling you tight against him. Air rushed around you, whipping your hair around your faces. You were sure you would feel the hard ground or sting of the cold water any moment but it didn't come. With a slight bounce the two of you stop and hover above the crashing waves. 

Ahsoka and three other younglings concentrate with their hands outstretched in front of them. Using the force to fly you both to the shore. 

"Are you okay? Did she hurt you?" Anakin whispered in your ear. You shake your head, throat too sore to answer. Once back on the ground you cling to Anakin's robes as he carries you into one of the small stone huts. Ahsoka brings water for you to drink. 

"I'm sorry this should never have happened." Anakin repeated. His arms surrounding you holding both his robe and a blanket around your cold body, still wet from the tank. 

Being unable to talk you pressed your hand to his chest, feeling his heart beating. Silently asking for answers. 

"I'll explain everything soon, my love. First let's get you healthy." He says into your hair. 

The warmth of Anakin's body against you lulled you into a peaceful sleep. He is simply glad to finally have you in his arms, to have you against him. You were alive and by the way your hands still held him tightly, you needed him as much as he needed you. 

You awake again sometime later, Anakin's head resting back against the wall. You open your mouth to speak but no voice comes out. Nothing but breath can escape your throat. Opting instead to lightly tap Anakin's face to wake him. 

"What is it? Are you okay?" He asks, sleep still in his voice. 

You press your fingers to your throat and shake your head. Anakin cups your face with one hand. 

"They said this could happen, when you were, when it happened your throat was clamped by the force. We think it was Palpatine, choking you. Your vocal chords have been damaged." You nod in understanding, placing your head into his shoulder once more. Across the hut the door opens revealing Obi-Wan. 

"We need you both in the temple." He crossed the room and crouched before you, running his fingers through your hair, "oh dear one, we should have been paying closer attention." He whispered. You pull away from Anakin and fall into Obi-Wan's arms. "Can you walk?" He asks. Unsure you allow them both to help you to stand. Your legs are weak and wobble below you. Both men hold onto an arm each helping you to walk back to the temple. The council were waiting for you each with a Solomon look on their face. It's explained that they questioned Hani, the healer. She was being controlled by the darkside, using her position to lace the bacta tank with a drug. The substance kept your mind hazy and your attachment to the force weak. Had she succeeded you may never have awoken. Unfortunately the tank malfunctioned, you had been able to wake enough that you'd burst the tank from the inside. 

"We know you are unable to speak but we need any information you have not yet told us." Plo requests. You turn to look at Obi-Wan, confusion pulling your eyebrows down. 

"I know nothing. I have no memory of my life before…before meeting you." You echo your voice into his mind. Obi-Wan reiterates your words to the council. 

"That is unfortunate." Yadel sighs. 

"Locked away perhaps your memories are. Time to heal you may still need." Yoda nodded his head in your direction and the others agreed. It was determined that Obi-Wan and Anakin would work with you to get your body strong again. At which time they would work on your mind. 

As evening drew in you felt a new fear creeping toward you. The native residents showed you to your own hut, there was a bed and not much else. They lit a fire inside but it did little to quell your fears. Perching on the edge of the bed you called out to the two people who could keep you safe. 

"I don't want to be alone." You explain to them once they have both arrived. Each man sets themselves up a cot in the Anakin right beside your own and Obi-Wan close to 5he door. You finally fall asleep to the sound of R2s recording of a Naboo lullaby, your hand held by Anakin. 

****************

Padme stood alone in her apartment, everyone she knew was dead or part of the new empire. Clothed in a simple black tunic and breeches she waited for her fait. 

JarJar, the secret apprentice to Dooku, appeared at the landing platform. 

"Time to go, Mesa Senator." He spoke in a much lower tone than she had ever known before, his glowing yellow. 

"I am sorry you have fallen so far my old friend." She approached him, looking over his shoulder to see commander Typho standing by the star ship. 

"Only sorry you were caught." JarJar quipped back at her. 

"perhaps old friend, but you should have known better than to believe I would ever bow to an Emperor." As she spoke Typho had moved in close behind the Gungan Shooting him with a stun blaster. Jar jar fell to the ground as Typho pulled the Senator to the ship. 

"We do not have much time. We must get to the Jedi." He said to her as they began pulling away from the landing pad. 

"You know where they've gone?" She asked, settling into the copilot seat. 

"We think so. I had a communication from Rex some time ago. Hopefully the intel is still good." 

"Let's go find my husband." Padme said. 

—

Over the last four days you had slowly learnt how to walk unaided, though Obi-Wan or Anakin would be beside you at all times, holding your arm. Cody had also become more concerned about your safety, stationing a guard at your door at all times. 

The day was unusually warm for Anch-To so you had chosen to sit outside, laying a blanket on the grass. Obi-Wan runs a training session with the younglings not too far away. His eyes would glance over to you every few seconds. 

“Anything come back to you yet?” She asked. You shake your head. 

"I'm alright." You spoke to his mind, still unable to speak. He would nod and return to the lessons.

Ahsoka plonked down beside you. 

“All I remember is them, Obi-Wan and Anakin, there is nothing else.” You think at her. It was a feeling, like you had been pulled into a place you didn’t belong whilst finally finding the one place you were meant to be. Your only memories were those with Obi-Wan and Anakin. 

“It must be really disorientating.” Ahsoka sympathised. You nod and sigh, turning your head to watch the younglings train with their short sabres. If you were honest you had enjoyed the last few days. The planet was quiet and with no memories so was your mind. The Jedi appeared to thrive on this planet, training in the most basic of places took away much of their recent distractions. The clone troopers had begun creating a new network of homes. Building structures around the transport ships and cruisers that had brought them all there. You wondered if you could all stay and live in peace and harmony forever, though you knew that wouldn’t happen. The Empire would eventually reach you all. 

“Where is your Master?” 

“He is coming, the council needed to talk to him.” Ahsoka answers you. 

“I am going for a walk. Distract Obi-Wan if he notices.” You say getting up and walking away. The Island was not massive but big enough that you could hide yourself away on the opposite side. A small flock of Pougs wandered along by your feet

“Miss y/n? Sorry, we’ve been told not to let you be alone.” A trooper called Stirrup appeared a few steps behind you. 

“Can you hear me?” you ask through your mind, unsure if the trooper would hear your voice. The commander lifted his hand to his head, 

“Whow. Was that you?” he asks, you smile and nod. 

“Do we know each other well?” you step closer to him. 

“Yeah, I guess so. We’ve been fighting alongside each other for two and a half years. You really don’t remember, do you?” There is a twinge of sadness in his eyes that makes you feel bad. How could you have forgotten someone who clearly means a lot to you? 

“I’m sorry. The Masters say my memory will return eventually.” 

 “Of course it will, it has too. The Emperor will want everything in that little head of yours.” Stirrup stepped closer to you, his hand grabbing onto your arm. “We’ve been waiting but it’s taking too long. Time to take you back to the Emperor” Stirrup’s head twitched as if he was fighting against mechanics in his neck. Trying to yank your arm out of his you feel his grip tighten, pressing into your flesh. 

“What was this?” He asks you. 

“Anakin!” You call out through the force, bringing your foot up to kick the trooper in his stomach. He drops your arm as he lurches back and you take the opportunity to run away. Trees and bushes whipped at your skin as you ran, blaster shots ringing past you. You know you can out run him, pushing against the ground with the force on your side. You're running blind though, not knowing where you are running. You run into something hard and warm. Anakin’s arm wraps around you and he uses the force to hold Stirrup in the air.

“Anaklin, let him down, you cannot succumb to anger.” you think at him. Anakin looks down at you and nods, dropping the clone to the ground as several more come running in and cuff him. 

“Anakin, check the clones for anything that could be used to control them. The Emperor, he is trying to use me to get to you.” 

“Do you think we could have one boring week?” He laughs and you smile up at him. As Stirrup is marched away Anakin takes your hand to lead you back to your hut. 

“Y/n? Before all of this I was trying to tell you how I felt about you.” He crouched in front of you sitting on the bed. “When you arrived here it was like a dream had come true, then you started to change things, not just me but the Jedi, the code. The galaxy is at war but with your help we have saved thousands of people who would've died before. Your coming here was a miracle none of us knew we needed. I did what you asked me to, I tried to be with her, to do what you needed me to do but I don’t think the time has long passed when that fate would have been true and I…I don’t-” You cut him off by placing your fingers to his lips. His eyes finally look up into yours, a gentle smile gracing your lips. You brush the back of your hand across his chin, dipping them into the curls at the back of his head before leaning into him and pressing a kiss to his lips. Anakin melts into your touch, his fingers holding onto your knees. 

“I love you.” He whispers when you pull away from him. You answer him by crashing your lips to his once more, the kiss is deeper, needer like you were breathing life back into him. Your mind swirled with nothing but him and his scent as he moved, bringing your bodies together and wrapping his arms around you. Anakin has wanted this for so long and so his body reacts to it almost instantly. His breath is shallow, and his hands wander your body, memorising your shape, each rise and fall of your flesh. It is all too intoxicating but you need to feel more of him against you and so you push at his robes, dropping the brown leather to the ground, discarding it along with his belt. His skin is hot and hard against your own, now far too clothed chest. It was Anakin’s turn to need more and he pulled back from you, silently asking for permission. You pull your top over your head, dropping it in the pile. Anakin swallowed the lump in his throat, as you took hold of his hand and brought it up to your chest. He runs his fingers over your breasts feeling the heat of your flesh under his palm before softly touching the scar on your stomach. Your fingers trace his own scare. Reminders of a day that broke both your hearts. 

“You’re so beautiful.” He whispers. 

“Only because I’m so in love.” You think. 

“No it’s because I am so in love with you.” 

“So love has blinded you?” The words feel familiar to you in some way, like a dream lost to waking. Anakin laughs, pulling you close to him once more. 

“That's not what I meant.” He kisses you again 

Outside the sun dropped below the horizon calling the night to take over. Stirrup lay on a bed in the medical centre they had created on one of the cruisers. The droid looked up at Obi-Wan. 

“It would appear this clone still had his chip.” it explained. Obi-Wan pressed a hand over his mouth and hummed in response. 

“We will need to check all the clones we have here. Commander Cody, Rex, have all the men report to you both, and keep them in quarters until we have had everyone checked.” 

“Yes sir.” They replied in unison. 

R2 beeped beside him. 

“What is it?” 

“If you don’t mind sir, R2 says there is an incoming transmission from Senator Amidala.” C3-PO translated. 

Part three

I noticed that someone asked what you wanted to see from EJ in s4 and I wanted to share with you an idea. Idk if you know that there are some hsmtmts books. In one of them (the one with the road trip), EJ was helping his friends by giving them good advice and, honestly, I really want to see that in the show. He was a really great friend to everyone. For example, he drove a long distance just to bring Big Red to be with them (context: Miss Jenn and almost all the wildcats, excepting Big Red and Seb who didn't come from the beginning because they had work at the pizza shop/farm, went to a hsm convetion. When EJ found out that Big Red could come, he offered to give him a ride and brought him). Sadly, since EJ barely has any screen time in s4 I doubt that we'll see any of this... As you said, there isn't enough time to show how he dealt with his own problems and struggles, so I don't think that what I want is going to happen... Idk why they reduced his screen time that much, since there were still so many things they could've done with him... Anyway, book EJ rules and maybe, in future seasons, we can see that version of him in the show.

Wow, I had NO IDEA there are HSMTMTMS books. Now I want to see some of this on the show, too.

Still, even with limited screen time, I could see EJ giving out some great advice, especially to those East High students who will be graduating soon.

The world that Aether and Lumine were originally from was not in the same galaxy as Teyvat. Regardless of the 'stars/sky is false' thing, they literally would not see the same set of stars in the night sky.

In fact the twins' home galaxy is more or less RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Teyvat's home galaxy. Their home world operated on a similiar level to Earth and Teyvat's: in which they had oxygen that combined with other elements in order to breath, water, land and different types of animals for pets, livestock, etc. However Aether and Lumine's people were different from Teyvat's.

Where in Teyvat people channeled one type of element in Visions IF THEY WERE LUCKY, their people could channel all of their world's elements without the use of a Vision because they were considered humanoid elementals. Their appearance and biology were similiar or pretty damn close to that of humans, they considered themselves humans even though they weren't. They had very long lifespans and could become immortal sages after so long if they so chose.

Depending on the power levels of their people, they could manifest different types of wings which were colored and they could also be more than two wings. Gold wings were the strongest set of wings and only the Twins were able to manifest them as they could take a person OUT of their world and help them travel in the vacuum of space. In their world their wings took the look of a six-winged phoenix. While in Teyvat and throughout their travels their wings manifested in a more stardust/space-y way.

Any variant of RED wings were the highest a person could get. Six was the max number of wings though that was actually rare only the Twins or an immortal sage could get that number. Orange, blue, green, purple, white, black as well as their variants in color were just some of the different levels. The most common number of wings was two and the most uncommon was three, four and five.

Lumine and Aether were special from the moment they were born. Because twins were actually RARE within their culture. If a mother had a set of twins it meant that their twin gods had decided to return to the world in which they created instead of just watching over it and helping it grow by subtle influence. This happened very few thousand years or so.

Aether was the older twin by 20 minutes while Lumine was the younger. Aether and Lumine were immediately called the Children of the Stars; a title that their God twins held. And this was reinforced by the fact that their hair was blonde and their eyes were fiery golden star dust.

Because the twins were the mortal reincarnations of their world's Gods their original powers were far stronger than that of their people's. While both became warriors and defended their people from outside invasions, with Lumine being offensive and Aether more defensive and thus complimenting each other on the battlefield, Lumine's greatest power was her ability to heal.

She and Aether could do both and both could easily purify things, but Lumine's power to heal was far greater than that of her brother's. She could heal EN MASS hundreds if nothing thousands upon thousands of injured troops or people in general by using the water in the air to do so. The same thing applied albiet on a much smaller scale when applied to an individual person.

Because of how precious the Twins were, they were often conveted by other people on their world. Even though everyone believed in the Twin Gods, many people sought out that power for themselves. And in order to GAIN the Twins' powers and become practically become Gods, they had to MURDER the twins which was very hard to do given that Aether and Lumine were very powerful. And so wars were often fought to try and get the twins. And a violent death like that was said to allow a transfer of power and corrupt the Gods if their "mortal" incarnations were killed.

Now, normally each set of twins would end up dying peacefully to return the Gods to their Godly Forms back in their home realm within their world after a VERY LONG TIME of being on the "mortal" plane. But unfortunately for both Aether and Lumine, they'd never get to live their EXTREMELY long lives, marry, have countless kids and die peacefully in their world because of a distaster which left Aether and Lumine as the sole survivors of their people and their world in general.

Because they are the mortal forms of their twin gods they've taken to calling themselves stars or stars in human form and decided to go searching for a new home, a new place to live with long lived beings such as themselves. So they spent many years do that until they crashlanded on Teyvat.

Angerey's ultimate Fmodel NSR Tutorial!!! (Audio)

Okay, let's DO THIS...... (model and texture tut link at bottom of page)

Let's start off with where the different types are located.

Go to NoStraightRoads > WwiseAudio.

Let's start with BGM.

Go on the next tab (labelled 836 Packages)

Scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN, until you find these files

You can open either one of them, they both will result in this panel.

Now, here is a guide to how the naming works, if you want to find something specific. For starters, the ID is the number for the file. It's totally random. The Short Name is what we will be using to look up specific tracks.

Using this track as an example, the naming convetion goes: 2sdiva: the boss fight (in this case, Eve) p2: the phase of the boss fight (in this case, phase 2) backing: the layer of the song playing (in this case, the backing track) base: the version of the song playing (in this case, the base theme) to locate it, copy/paste the ID into the search bar

Now you can listen to it! And while you're listening, Fmodel has automatically downloaded the track in your computer. To find it, go to C:\Users\[name]\Documents\FModel\Output\Exports\NoStraightRoads\Content\WwiseAudio\Windows

Right there! You can either name it by copy pasting the short name, or just name it whatever. It's up to you.

Now, for the sound effects and voice overs, they're much more simple. You can just look at the BNK folders. (The reason BGM is a different method is that for some reason, it will only play the first second of a track instead of the whole thing, so you need to manually look for it.)

We'll be using SFX for this example, but VOs work the same way.

DK West's SFX will be the example this time. First, extract the text file (you'll need this if you want to look up a specific sound) by exporting it as a UAsset

It'll be in the same location as the Eve example I showed earlier.

Now it gets a little bit complicated, but bare with me. Open the .txt file, but scroll down to IN MEMORY AUDIO ID

These are the REAL IDs, not the ones above.

Lets say I want a sfx of DK West walking.

It looks like the ID is 100389649.

Lets' go back to Fmodel, and open the DK West BNK file, the one above the TXT

Open the mini-player by double clicking the BNK

And lastly, pase the ID in the search bar, and press "save" on the result

You can choose to export it here, or put it in your own file, whatever works for you!

There's also the option of downloading a whole BNK and listening through all of them, if you're not sure which one it is specifically.
