[sholio]

It's time for our first Amnesty Challenge! You may write for any prompt already posted:

Strange New World
Force
Escape
First Time
Family
Space
Underground

Post in the comments to this entry as usual. Amnesty will run for two weeks instead of the usual one, so this will go until Saturday, March 12.

Rules in brief:

1. All Star Wars canons are welcome, as are non-fic fills. Anonymous fills are fine.

2. Post your fic in a comment to this entry or post it elsewhere and link to it. Headers/warnings are not required, but are suggested. New canon (new episodes, comics, etc) should have spoiler warnings for a week, and after that, no warnings are needed.

• Flashmeme collection on AO3 (feel free to add your fics!)
• Full rules post
• DW formatting help for making italics etc if you post your fic in a comment

Strange New World G-Rated, Finn-centric, No warnings apply

[senmut]

Finn wasn't certain what to make of the Resistance. They were scatter-shot about military procedures, completely informal off duty, and barely more a militia-level organization at best, in his view.

They kept kicking First Order butts, though, and he didn't quite know how to handle that. Even as Poe taught him who was who, and Jessika taught him Resistance weaponry, he kept getting lost.

It was a military, but unlike any military he understood. This was made worse by the way they all treated him, a former enemy, with such kindness.

It was alien, and he loved it.

[sholio]

Oh, this is great! I love his confusion -- it must make so little sense compared to what he's used to -- and the way he's happy about it anyway; that's so him. :D

Re: Strange New World G-Rated, Finn-centric, No warnings apply

[senmut]

Thanks! I may have been inspired a bit by history. The differences between the American Patriot forces and the Hessian mercenaries used by Britain.

Force, G-Rated, Anakin/Padmé, no warnings apply

[senmut]

Anakin had grown used to secrets, both ones he held and ones around him.

He wasn't expecting them in his wife.

He was nominally guarding her during a tense negotiation between rival clans of Gungans, but he kept feeling flickers of the Force as Padmé served as a neutral negotiator. He focused, and noticed the flickers were very strong when she was merely listening. They would fade back when she spoke.

Later, alone, he stared at her. "You're Force Sensitive!"

"Ani, don't be absurd. I just listen with all my being."

He smiled. "Just like I do, with the Force."

Re: Force, G-Rated, Anakin/Padmé, no warnings apply

[sholio]

Oh, cool! I can definitely see it. :D

Re: Force, G-Rated, Anakin/Padmé, no warnings apply

[senmut]

I tend to use it as a head canon quite a bit; Padmé had a stronger sense of intuition and foreboding than usual.

Escape, Kylo-centric, Teen-Rated, CANON CHARACTER DEATH

[senmut]

He needed to find some way to stop the incessant battle within him. If he could just silence that pull, the one that drew him away from his destiny, he would be fine.

"Be with me, my Lord, and help me find the way."

His hand caressed the disfigured artifact, his link to the legacy he sought to prove through to its glorious end.

His ancestor was smiling upon him, it seemed, when he found the answer. If he followed through, one more death, that was all, then he would escape all temptation.

The lightsaber ignited, and Kylo knew freedom.

Re: Escape, Kylo-centric, Teen-Rated, CANON CHARACTER DEATH

[sholio]

... noooo, Kylo, your choices are bad, and you should feel bad. XD

(This is so very him, though!)

Re: Escape, Kylo-centric, Teen-Rated, CANON CHARACTER DEATH

[senmut]

Emo Skywalker boys, making bad decisions since at least Attack of the Clones....

Thanks so much!

First Time, Lando/Luke, Teen Rated, No warnings apply

[senmut]

All Lando had meant to do was offer the kid some stress relief. They'd been running hard, trying to track down Han, trying to evade the Empire, trying not to get too far in over their heads with the Black Sun as they did it all.

"Sex is a great tool for clearing the mind."

Luke looked up, skeptical, but not immediately hostile. "I wouldn't know."

That admission changed everything, and Lando decided he'd have to put his all into proving his words. After all, this kid was the great hope of the Rebellion.

He found it fun, teaching Luke.

Re: First Time, Lando/Luke, Teen Rated, No warnings apply

[sholio]

Yep, totally pitching in for the good of the Rebellion. That Lando, what a guy. :D

Re: First Time, Lando/Luke, Teen Rated, No warnings apply

[senmut]

It's for a good cause, right?

Thanks!

Re: First Time, Lando/Luke, Teen Rated, No warnings apply

[fresh_brainss]

Oh my god, yes, Lando and Luke are my #1 original trilogy rarepair. Lando would show that boy a whole new world, that's for sure! Awesome ficlet. <3

Re: First Time, Lando/Luke, Teen Rated, No warnings apply

[senmut]

YAY! I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Family, Darth Vader, G-Rated, Reference to canonical character death

[senmut]

Sometimes, he felt small tugs on his fingers. Others, he could still smell her scent. He could lose himself in the past and imagine a future that included her and their child. Then he always remembered.

He'd killed the sole reason for his existence, taken their child away from any chance of holding their hands, running by the lake, growing up.

Then he only had what he'd become. Padmé's way had failed. In some warped way, he felt if he proved his way was right, it would make sense.

The fantasies of a family were left in dreams and nightmares.

Re: Family, Darth Vader, G-Rated, Reference to canonical character death

[sholio]

Waaaahhhhhhhh. ;__; His entire life is such a tragedy! A self-inflicted tragedy for the most part, but still ...

Re: Family, Darth Vader, G-Rated, Reference to canonical character death

[senmut]

If only someone had loved him...
...oh wait, they did. Several of them...

Thanks!

Space, Gilad Pellaeon(/Thrawn), G-Rated, No warnings apply

[senmut]

Gilad was always conscious of the space between him and his Admiral. He never exceeded the personal sphere around Thrawn. He never broached the military distance necessary for them to be an effective commanding team. Gilad had lived his life for the military discipline he strove to maintain among his increasingly younger crews and soldiers.

That did not mean he was blind to his own inclinations. Thrawn fascinated him, personally and professionally. For that very reason, Gilad guarded himself even more than he ever had with a commanding officer.

Sometimes, though, he reveled in Thrawn's trust, and in his praise.

[sholio]

HOLY MOLY. I haven't read these yet, but I just have to say, I don't have achievement badges in this community like, say fan_flashworks or h/c bingo do, but I feel like I need to invent one for what you've managed to do here. :D

Re: Space, Gilad Pellaeon(/Thrawn), G-Rated, No warnings apply

[senmut]

+laughs+

No, no. I had hated missing the previous prompts and wanted to catch up. Plus, I was at work while I tackled them. It helped me stay awake.
