The Jedi were flawed, actually: a thesis by mirrorofliterature_meta (mirrorofliterature)

Summary
A collection of my tumblr critique of the fictional Jedi Order, circa the prequel trilogy.
Come for the analysis of a stagnant institution, stay for the Anakin Skywalker appreciation and desire for the Jedi to have proper child protection policies in place.

Summary
Kallus and Sabine, preoccupied with saving Zeb, left a man to die. He wasn't a very nice man. One could argue that he deserved worse. But two former Imperials who grapple every day with the things they did, who are trying with all their might to be better than who they were, are the reason a man died a horrifically painful death. Now they have to get up close and personal with the consequences of their actions.
Kallus feels guilty. Sabine feels guilty for not feeling guilty. Both have to face the remnants of the Empire in their current ways of thinking.
(A what-if sequel to apocrypha73's "Safe and Sound". It will make sense on its own, but why wouldn't you want to read that one anyway?)

Summary
Kanan just needed a little bit of quality time alone in the company of a quiet, backwater cantina and its alcohol. After the mess of Malachor, he thought he deserved a little alone time to unwind before he had to jump back into the fray. He just hadn’t anticipated a certain Kalleran he hadn't seen in fifteen years named Janus Kasmir to walk into that backwater cantina too.

Summary
"Death is not permitted here."
The Radiance perishes and Hallownest falls silent. The infection of light spares few in its wake, turning the kingdom into a tomb filled with the bodies of the formerly afflicted. After some time spent recovering in Dirtmouth, Hornet chooses to depart the only home she's ever known. She descends one final time in search of survivors who may also wish to leave, thinking nothing of her sacrificed siblings, though she carries a pair of mismatched horns underneath her cloak.
But something else stirs beneath her feet, ancient and full of grief, and Hornet's task proves far more treacherous than she had believed, her path littered with old gods and new threats. As she delves into the darkest reaches of Hallownest, haunted with visions of the life spent there, the orphaned princess learns that she must reckon with all she has lost, before the kingdom and its secrets destroy whatever she has left.

Summary
Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.
When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.
Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.
(Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

half plegian, on my mother's side by chidorinnn
Fandoms: Fire Emblem: Kakusei | Fire Emblem: Awakening, Fire Emblem Series
25 Jan 2024

Summary
It’s an old tale, one baked into the blood and bones of all who claim kin with Ylisse’s line of Exalts: a great and proud dragon, laying waste to the land and all who dared to cross its path; a hero, noble and valiant and wielding a sacred blade, slaying the dragon and restoring peace to the realm.
There’s her father, noble and valiant and every bit the hero that Ylisse has always loved, as he leads his Shepherds to war; there’s her mother, great and proud and too visibly Plegian between her darker skin and the distinct slant to her eyes, according to the various noblemen and council members that still gripe at Father’s decision to marry her, as she stands firmly at his side and guides his every move.
—and then, her mother leaves one day for battle, and does not return. And then her father follows, precious little more of him returning than the sacred blade he wields. And then the sky tears open, and little else matters.
Amidst it all, there’s the roar of a great and proud dragon, furious after having been sealed away for so long — but wedged deeply within that anger is a pain that cannot be ignored. The dragon screams, and it bleeds in to the sky, and it burrows into Lucina’s blood.

love doesn't live here by vivacissimo

Summary
Viserra Targaryen's life as the reluctant Lady of White Harbor was not one of songs, not with her insufferable husband as unbearable as he is old, and his magnetic young heir Desmond seemingly despising her.
Baelon the Brave never feels less brave than when he steals a crown from his beloved brother Aemon's daughter, all while raising his two quarrelsome sons alone.
When a widowed Viserra returns to King's Landing only six years after she was sent away, their parallel journeys of healing bring them together in the unlikeliest of ways. But ghosts of the past (alongside new revelations) aren't quite done with them yet.

Summary
Obi-Wan stood there in the center of room and did the one thing that he knew that ultimately he would regret. Obi-Wan opened his mouth and said: “But how do you know? How do you know the Dark is not a Chain that you still have wrapped around you, but you don’t recognize it because it’s one you’ve had for your entire life? What if you’re wrong? What if the Light is stronger? Wouldn’t you want to know?”
For just a moment Maul was still…and then two piercing yellow eyes stared at him with the kind of hatred that made him want to take a step back…
“How…dare…you.”

Summary
Six years after her departure from Court, her Grace Anne, Countess of Kent and Pembrokeshire, has settled with her beloved husband William and found the peace that she never knew with her illustrious first husband.
Her daughter has ruled England wisely and well; though - as has always been the case - the matter of religion remains a sore undercurrent to her diplomacy and foreign relations, as reformation and counter-reformation tussle for ascendancy on the Continent.
As summer approaches, it is time for the Queen to remove from London, and go on progress; and where better than to her mother’s house? Always a welcome escape from the trials of politics - but not when those trials follow them…

Summary
“So, Princess,” Claude says. “What are you—a sheep or a wolf?”
He smiles at her, and Edelgard leans towards him in response. Both are aware of the challenge being levied—one wolf to another. “I don’t know,” she says. “Which one do the devils prefer?”
Claude’s grin only grows at her answer. “Well, the goddess would take care of the sheep, right? The wolves are on their own.”
“I don’t understand any of this,” Dimitri says. “There are no sheep or wolves—just people.”
-
Dimitri, Claude, and Edelgard spend a night in the woods with something that is not the goddess.
