Fic Update Thread: 56th edition

[Mamorien]

For a world borne On the Shoulders of Titans (all kaiju are true), Mr_Crocodile has revised the two stories set in the Holy Queendom of Yunnan, Rite of Ascension and A Day in the Life, Chapter 5: A Priestess of the Moth.

Meanwhile, The Tyranny of Kinship (Skywalker family reunion AU) picks up from where it left off.

He’d never actually met Leia as a child. Too focused on Kenobi during the Third Sister’s antics to worry overmuch about the little girl that he’d thought to be Bail Organa’s whelp. Ultimately, it was for the best that their paths had never crossed back then; her association with Kenobi and the traitor Organa would've likely made Vader…injudicious.

But he could imagine her as a ten-year-old. Bold, fearless, and far too perceptive for her own good. A princess, sheltered from hardship and danger. Accustomed to a certain degree of deference, no matter how much lip service the Alderanian court paid to egalitarianism. She would’ve been defiant, heedless of the probable consequences.

The security records of Fortress Inquisitorious were meticulous. Perhaps, if he ever returned there, he could track down some footage of Leia’s visit. See exactly how Leia had fared against the Third Sister.

Vader jolted up from his seat. No, he didn’t need to go all the way to the Mustafar System again. R2-D2 had been with Organa all this time, and his memories had never been wiped. Surely, he’d have footage of Leia as a child.

And not just that. Evidently, R2-D2 hadn’t seen what had transpired between Vader, Padmé, and Obi-Wan on Mustafar. If he had, then his reaction to Vader would’ve been overtly hostile.

He'd been Padmé’s droid first, after all.
