“You dare call me insane? I created the world’s first artificial soul!”
Hermione knows a bit about what fantastic science can do; she wears one of its greatest achievements on her finger. Except there’s fantastic science, and then there’s science beyond the fantastic. Science that gets emotional. Science that doesn’t just get angry, she’ll discover. It gets downright mad.

The Tyranny of Kinship (SW, family reunion AU) earns its "human disaster Anakin Skywalker" tag, but it also has a golden comedy moment.

One which adds a whole new layer to the family reunion.

The door to Leia’s quarters was opened not by his daughter, but by a very familiar droid.

“My apologies,” the droid said, showing no hint of recognition. Memory-wiped, unsurprisingly. “Mistress Leia is indisposed at present. Would you like to leave a message?”

“Ignore Threepio,” Leia called from behind the closed door of the lavatory. “I’ll just be a couple of minutes.”

Stepping inside, Vader was greeted by yet another familiar droid. This one rolled up to him, beeping and whooping excitedly.

Anakin, is that really you? I thought for sure you were dead!

“You know this man?” C-3PO asked the astromech.

R2-D2 beeped an affirmative. He’s the one who built you.

“He did? Then why didn’t you say anything about it before now?”

It never came up.

“What do you mean, ‘it never came up’? That’s never stopped you from doing anything!” To Vader, he said, “Since you are allegedly my maker, I suppose I do not need to introduce myself. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance once again.”

Vader recalled Luke had spoken of purchasing an “Artoo” and “Threepio”, but those were common nicknames for certain models of droid. It had actually been these two all along?

Is something wrong? R2-D2 asked. Why won’t you say anything, Anakin?

Leia emerged from the lavatory, her hair loose, dressed in brown pants and a cream tunic. She took in the scene before her with a sort of resignation. “What’s this about a maker?”

C-3PO turned to Leia. “I cannot recall it myself, but our obnoxious friend insists, and he has never given me cause to doubt his honesty.”

R2-D2 rolled over to Leia. First Obi-Wan pretends not to know me, and now Anakin won’t speak to me. But you still like me, right?

Leia smiled at the droid and stroked his dome, revealing that she didn’t understand binary when she said, “If this is the will of the Force, I have to wonder at its sense of humor.”
