Writing Update

[morgynleri]

This scene is getting longer than I expected. *sighs, and pokes some more* I’m still only just on Mustafar, and Vader and Obi-Wan have gone off on their epic fight through the facility while Anakin and Mace argue about what the hell is going on, and Zett quietly does his best to get Padmé back on the ship despite her being unconscious. I think there may be some levitating involved.

Also, need to figure out how to get Anakin from the facility to where Obi-Wan is leaving Vader to burn while they’re fighting all over the place, because he’s got to arrive at the right time. While trying to keep seeing what’s currently in front of him, and not repeated flashes of a vision that he would really like not see played out in reality.

I think I’m going to put a small scene break in shortly, and skip the (mostly) boring part where he finds his way down to where he needs to be. Because there has to be a way, otherwise Obi-Wan wouldn’t have gotten back too well, hiking over the landscape rather than floating along on a platform or droid.

(Expect another large chunk of Ashes and Hope shortly. More of the Vaderkin AU with not-dead younglings will happen tomorrow at some point, since this is taking more words than expected.)

I'm enamored with this AU, even if I'm not sure what is going on yet! Vader and Anakin as two separate beings, though? Mama like.

*pom poms* Write write yes you can!

Ashes and Hope is a universe-hopping AU with Anakin from As It All Burns showing up at an awkward moment in RotS. He's not at all amused by the fact the him in this universe has bowed to Sidious, rather than killing him. And has run into a steady stream of things that make him want to hit lots of people with heavy objects. And make liberal use of the dark side of the Force.

Because so far at least two people he knows at home as alive are dead (Maul, Qui-Gon), his own counterpart is broken, Obi-Wan is a mess that he barely recognizes, for some reason Padmé isn't with Sabé, Dooku is utterly lost to Sidious, and the Jedi have had a broad swathe of them wiped out.

Yeah. Anakin is not amused. :)

*cries over this* ahhhhhh

I promise not everything is tears and blood!

(If mostly because Anakin will gleefully smash things that put his carefully built new family in danger.)
