“Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories.”
—Hilary Mantel, Wolf HallWhy leave the house? A pull. By who?

Why walk to the statue? A draw. Towards something unknown… And maybe something beautiful too.-

there’s a big black hole (where my heart used to be) by Helholden

Summary
“I could always jump, but I never do. I sometimes think it was him, the one that tried to run away with the gardener. That maybe I’m dreaming of him. That I’m him—but I’m not.” His eyes glaze over, the memory haunting him. “He jumped once, you know. It’s not public knowledge. Straight out of his window—to the ground. His aura saved him, but even with mine on . . . I don’t think I could do it.”
“That makes you different, though,” Gaal points out. She doesn’t have an answer for all the rest. It’s just a dream, after all. “If he could jump, but you can’t. So, what makes you like him?”
His answer is one word. He exhales it out in a single breath from between his lips like a prayer said before bedtime—before the darkness takes you, and you never know if you’re going to wake up again. His eyes never leave hers. Not once.
“You.”

Summary
“Why don’t you come over here?” she finally suggests, her voice deeper, lower than usual; it sounds like she’s flirting with him, but sometimes Dawn can’t tell with her. He doesn’t want to press into the line of whatever this is, shattering the illusion he’s built in his head. He’s imagined her face a million times before going to bed; sometimes, laughing, other times, gasping, with her mouth wide open and the shadows abound all around them as she shudders out a moan. He thinks about her all the time. He thinks about her too much.
Dawn looks down at his glass of liquor. Swirls it between the crystalline walls—and downs the entire thing in one gulp. It burns going down.
Strength. Wisdom. Fortitude.
This is neither of those things.

Summary
This is the birth of a woman, coaxed from statue.
//
Padmé had made her acceptance speech while sweating under the weight of her outfit, layers of green-gold shot silk shining like the leaves on the trees of Theed. Eternal summer brought with it peace and plenty, cheer and merriment. The whole planet was thrumming with life, hibiscus flowers unfurled in the Royal Gardens, and before her a great crowd had gathered to listen to her speak, flower petals floating through the still air. Amidala had won by a strong margin, was young and popular and optimistic, and it was Padmé’s solemn duty to transform Amidala from idea into woman.
//
This is the death rattle of trust.
//
“I said, I’ll do what is right.” The tired father of the Republic was erased fully now, unbending steel in his place. The meeting, she knew, was over. Palpatine continued, “That should be enough for your,” he locked eyes with Padmé, said the next word with a sneer, “committee.”
Look how far you’ve fallen from the queen who understood the importance of action, his words whispered, Anakin unmoving at his side. A flash of fury burnt through her.
//Or: Padme Amidala, through her life.

Summary
With a number of problems to deal with already, a new (and intriguing) addition to his parish is the last thing the Comte de Reynaud needs - and the foreign chocolaterie owner, who is rumoured to be atheistic, unmarried and strikingly beautiful, will be more trouble than he can possibly imagine.
Long fic, short chapters, a little bit of hurt and a lot of comfort.
2024 update: I originally wrote this fic over a very short period of time. Having now gone over and (hopefully) improved the overall work and added a lot of material, especially to the early chapters, as well as completing the epilogue, I'm happy to consider it finally finished.- Language:
