Summary
Rex hates that it's come to this, but with his general injured and only four of them stranded behind enemy lines... Well. There's not much he can do about it anyway. It's not his choice to make.

Summary
Rex can feel the burning heat in Anakin’s face through his gloves when he cups the Jedi’s too-pale face between his hands. Anakin’s eyes flutter, and Rex can’t help but steal a kiss from his lips, even if all he tastes is bitter iron instead of the mix of sugar and caf he’s used to.

Summary
Whumptober 2021: Day 10 || Oops, I Did It Again || flare-up
“You’re Hawke, right?” The man takes a half-step closer and Hawke can just make out the desperate, hopeful look carved into the few lines on his face. A pit drops in his stomach when the man adds on a second later, “Kirkwall’s champion?”
“Depends,” he says even though what he really wants to do is deny it and let Brinna chase them off. He knows news of him has spread since even before he left Kirkwall, but he’d hoped it hadn’t traveled so far. Not that anyone, divine or mortal, has much cared for what he wants, content to throw him to the wolves even when he tries to avoid trouble.

Summary
Whumptober 2021: Day 9 || Rumors Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated|| (Blind) Rage
Anakin stared, rooted to the spot while the battle raged on around him. A rumbling, discordant symphony of sound deafened him to the screaming, blasterfire, and the steady, heavy thudding of hundreds — thousands — of droids marching steadily forward, growing louder with every painful beat of his heart.

Whumptober 2021: Day 8 || Coughing Up A Lung || Exotic Illness
He looked exhausted. Drawn and frail in a way he’d never been. Was never allowed to be. His brown skin had taken on a pallor that made him look sickly, nearly ashen, and the bags under his eyes had begun to rival Grayson’s.

Whumptober 2021: Day 7 || My Spidey-Sense Is Tingling || Numbness
Jason Todd stayed dead.
He let himself drift, no thoughts or memories pressing in on him. Just emptiness. That same nothing he’d coasted on just after his parents had died.

Whumptober 2021: Day 6 || Touch And Go || Touch Starved
“Are you—” Obi-Wan swallowed painfully, his own saliva turning to grains of coarse sand. “Is this real?” he asked, whisper soft and broken. “Are you real, Anakin?”

Whumptober 2021: Day 5 || I've Got Red In My Ledger || Betrayal
He brought his saber up into Djem So’s opening stance. “I am a Jedi, and I’ll do what I must.”
“So it’s treason, then,” Sidious sneered, pulling a lightsaber of his own from his robes. Anakin felt the last dregs of his hope drain when the blade lit, its blood-red light casting Sidious’ face into eerie relief as the lights in the room grew suddenly dim.

Whumptober 2021: Day 3 || Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones But... || "Who did this to you?"
Anakin smiled and took the attention as permission to step inside, settled down with his legs crossed on the room’s sandy floor. Even from a few feet away, he could tell they looked better than even that morning — still battered and bandaged and a little paler than they probably should be, but whole and alive in a way they hadn’t been while asleep. Unconscious, technically, but technicalities rarely mattered to an eight-year-old. The silence stretched between them, both of them staring at each other until he chose to break it.

Summary
Whumptober 2021: Day 2 || Talking Is Overrated || Garotte || Choking
Everything seemed to grind to a halt for one long, breathless moment. Anakin didn’t breathe. His troops didn’t talk. The seconds didn’t tick forward. The planet didn’t turn. For a moment, there was nothing at all but the pluck of a string, pulled in from his navel and out through his back. A nauseating note, out of tune and out of place, screaming at him. Warning him. And then, abruptly, there was everything.

Summary
“You will be immortal,” he’s told and the word falls from pale, ashen lips with reverence. Like it is a gift. Like it is holy. Like it is something that doesn’t twist his stomach to knots, knowing that to become it will destroy him.

Summary
His opponent steps back, shrugs, and spins his humming, green saber with a flourish. Ezra grins, more feral than friendly, and re-ignites his own. It cuts through the air, blue light snapping to life with a hiss.
