@of-naboo // starter call

the force carries whispers . . . and some of them are wicked. ben solo hears them through his training sessions on occasion , and his eyes rove desperately over the faces of his peers in hopes of finding mirrored despair. but the voices seem to be meant for him ALONE ; there are no reactions , not even a flinch.

they are always loudest at night , as darkness and silence settle over his bedchambers . . . sometimes , he swears that they come from the shadows themselves. no longer just an apparition , but something TANGIBLE. something ( or someone ) real.

why ben fails to bring the whispers to his master's attention , one may never know. it's as if his lips are sewn shut with invisible strings any time he so much as thinks about bringing them to light. besides, there is some small power in keeping a secret others may not know. that power stokes the dark thing blossoming in his chest.

so he shoulders the terrible burden, but ben is anything but passive. he turns to luke's teachings and, at the beginning of dusk as the first stars peek through the crimson veil of the setting sun one night , the apprentice clambers into bed and sits cross-legged atop his blanket. he shuts his eyes against the dying light and breathes deeply , searching within himself until all that remains is the force. it doesn't take much time at all ; he is strong in the force , and the force is strong in him.

when he's ready, he opens his eyes to find an endless whiteness surrounding him in all directions . . . he has been here before. what he didn't predict , though , was a WOMAN to be standing at the height of his meditations. the voices have always been distinctly masculine.

his initial reaction is brash , demanding: ❛ who are you? ❜

trust in the force , his uncle's words, forever imprinted in his mind , bring solace to the pounding of ben's heart. the further he lets go and really TRUSTS , the more of a familiar pull he feels . he knows this woman, but how? ben takes a daring step toward the apparition.

❛ . . . are you here to help me? ❜

[WOUND]

REASONS TO CUP A FACE. ( A PROMPT LIST. )

[WOUND]: after the receiver has been wounded, the sender tries to keep them calm and conscious by cupping their face in their hands and talking to them to keep them focused.

Kylo had always been a man of ferocity and resolve, but in this moment, as he knelt beside Padmé, he found himself stripped of his anger and darkness. Perhaps it was because there had always been a inherent weakness born in him in regards to his family. Something that rotted and hurt. Something he strove to push away and grow away from but couldn't fully escape or loosen himself from the thorns of frailty. Gently, he cupped his grandmother's face in his gloved hands, his touch surprisingly tender as he tried to steady her trembling. "Padmé," he said, earnest as he has ever been. "Stay with me, Padmé. You're strong, and you can fight through this. Focus on my voice. It's going to be okay, I promise."

“ i didn’t know where else to go. “ @of-naboo

Kriff.

It had been so long, the war had come and gone, but Padmé had come to find her. Sabé couldn't turn her away.

"Come inside, quickly." The former handmaiden said, once she was sure no one had noticed a stranger coming into her home, would she deal with everything else.

How the phantom menace should have gone, imo😌

[anakinandobiwan]

i like to think theyd get their happy ending, too

[jedi-starbird]

Time Travel is my favourite trope and I think we need more fics where both Obi-Wan AND Qui-Gon time travel together because no matter when they get sent it's chaos. They're saving the galaxy and being physic flash-bangs to everyone around them.

like before Bandomeer?

The entire council is baffled to watch as Qui-Gon 'never taking a padawan again' Jinn has suddenly cut off his post-Xanatos depression tour to return to the temple and beeline to the creche with a frantic energy. His wild eyes immediately single out a fluffy, red-haired initiate.

"You." he exhales with a pointed finger, slightly ominous as he towers over the child. Said child starts vibrating with delight. "Me." he agrees, launching himself at the man. Qui-Gon drops to his knees with a thud that cannot be healthy. Obi-Wan's attempts to clamber into Qui-Gon's robes and maybe onto his shoulders is thwarted by the fact that Qui-Gon's massive hands are cupping Obi-Wan's tiny squishy cheeks. He stares at the initiate for a few minutes with an intensity that is starting to worry people.

Finally, "You're so small." Qui-Gon sounds like he might cry.

'What the fuck?' Plo Koon projects at Mace.

"I'm 9! That tends to be the case!" the child chirps back.

"You're nine." Oh. Ah. Qui-Gon's eyes are distinctively misty. He squishes the boy in a hug so hard he squeaks. Mace makes a series of gestures that imply the need for a head-scan. Depa obligingly drifts off towards the halls. Qui-Gon scoops the child up onto his hip and claims him as his padawan on the spot. The assorted council members and creche-masters burst into noise. Mace tells Depa to bring some space ibuprofen as well.

after Naboo?

Anakin is a little apprehensive of his place in both the order and Obi-Wan's life, but then one day Obi-Wan wakes up and is suddenly a lot less sad in the force?? In fact, if Anakin didn't know better he'd say he was almost giddy, but he's watched Obi-Wan try to pretend his world hasn't fallen apart for the past few months so it can't be that, right? And um, Miss Bant? He knows grief is a funny thing that affects people differently but he's pretty sure 'massive mood swing' and 'having full conversations with invisible people' is not...great? and you said to tell you if Obi-Wan got really weird in any way.

Anyway after a lot of medical exams, intense consultation with the archives, and a couple exorcisms, Anakin ends up being raised by his 'real' master and his ghost master. He is far more well adjusted emotionally and far less well adjusted for what counts as normal people behavior(not talking to thin air). When questioned on this, all he ever says is that he's talking to Qui-Gon. Isn't he...dead? Well, yes. Wait, he's a ghost? Ghosts are real? ...Well this ghost is real.

This starts a great number of existential crises among non-force sensitives and incredibly heated theological arguments amongst the Jedi. Whenever Obi-Wan is questioned on this, all he ever says is some variation of "the force got to know him for 5 seconds and kicked him back out." Mace backs him up on this even though that reasoning is technically blasphemous. Qui-Gon is having the time of his un-life. He's ascended to his final form, his sheer existence is a heresy, this is truly all he has ever aspired towards.

the Clone Wars?

The minute they get dropped back Qui-Gon immediately goes and haunts the shit out of Dooku. They have a signed terms of surrender and promise of info on the Sith Lord within the year. Only half of it is because Qui-Gon's giving Dooku complexes that are only perceptible to shrimp, the other half is because they now have a ghost spy that is not bound by the laws of physics nor spacetime.

Obi-Wan only nominally pays attention to this as he immediately goes and implements his 19 step seduction plan with Cody (he had to focus on something on Tatooine to pass the time). It fails. Spectacularly. Publicly. Ah right. Tatooine was not exactly the height of his sanity. Everyone in the GAR and temple is now riveted by High General and Councilor Obi-Wan Kenobi's attempts to go on a date with his Commander, who bats him away him like a particularly annoying stray and seems one bouquet of cactus away from committing mutiny. Anakin is worrying if it means his master knows about his secret marriage and this is some sort of really weird power play. (It is, but not in the way he thinks)

The next time Dooku goes after Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon spends a good few months appearing tear-stained at the edge of Dooku's perception and only communicating in terrible wails and discordant mutterings of 'padawan. my padawan. my little one.' 24/7.

"Wait, you're annoying Dooku into surrendering?"

"Oh no Anakin, we're crushing his psyche like a bug. :)"

DROP HIM, DOOKU, DROP HIM AND RUN

[shapelytimber]

She was her favorite

For this night, attending an inconsequential event, Padmé posed as one of her handmaidens to enjoy it with Sabé.

[COMMISSIONS] - [PRINTS]

Yapping about sabédala in my au, and line below vvv

The lyrics are pulled from this Kompromat song <3 (if you've never seen the music video... you should fjjfk It's Rebeka warrior and Adèle Haenel getting married with neon lights what's not to love)

Since they where 15/16, they followed an affection pattern that blurred the lines between friendship and love, without ever verbalizing it. A desperate need for real human connection on one side, and a never ending adoration on the other. They are their first lover, and their relationship lasted up until Padmé saw Anakin again. It wasn't a constant thing, sometimes Padme would pull back for days or months, finding another man or woman, sometimes for no particular reasons, but always coming back to her. But after Anakin entered Padmé's life for good, Sabé felt it was different. She knew she lost her queen when she stopped looking at her.

They never needed to verbalize anything for so long, Padme never said anything. She just unconsciously pulled away little by little, leaving Sabé behind.

Padme fell for Anakin, because with her she could drop the Queen/Senator Amidala act, let herself be less than perfect, a real person.

For Sabé the sky got overcast, the sun is still here but she can't feel her warmth. Not in the way she used to

To sum it up : Anakin homewreckerrrrrr (unknowingly but still)

This kinda has some giallo vibes- ig it's appropriate since Naboo in sw2 was filmed in Italy

PS : would you fuck your clone ? Padmé and Sabé answer "yes of course, who else would know me better ?" in unison

Also guess who's who ;) if I did my job correctly it should be somewhat obvious which one's Padmé and which one's Sabé
