A Strange and Dazzling Array

Summary:

Anakin Skywalker makes a different choice, and his family flourishes in a world unmarred by the atrocities of the Sith.

alternate universe; post-RotS and beyond; family, humor, fluff, angst, romance, etc.

Notes:

This is a ‘verse where Anakin Skywalker never turned to the dark side, the Jedi Order still stands, and lots of your favorites are probably alive. These stories span the 90+ years after RotS and feature a variety of Skywalker family and friends. They were written for a fanfic Olympics challenge and as part of a personal challenge to write some exclusively happy stories.

(This is the reality that branched off at the end of Enter the Foreign, however I'm hoping these stories will be enjoyable all on their own, even if you're not familiar with my Enter!verse. For more background on the main 'verse and links to the stories that take place in it, check out my Enter!verse Readers' Guide)

**If you're looking for the Nidia & Eleri stories that previously made up chapters 11-22, I have split those off into their own work: We Still See Embers**

Chapter 1: Index

Chapter Text


Sometimes he sees another world, one that he has glimpsed only once in his waking life. And he’s still not sure if what he sees in his dreams is real or simply what he wishes it to be. Because in that world, his family is happy and whole and, most importantly, alive.

—“In a Galaxy Far, Far Away”, The Way Out Is Through
