That had been one of the first things it had tried to combat boredom. While it sometimes talked to its creations, there was no one else it could really converse with on the same level. Talking to itself did get a bit tedious at times, though, because half the time it already knew what it was going to say. From a Flimsi Scrap Found on the Crystal Cliffs, Lira San by Findswoman In your white mountains and moonwashed cliffs I see only the purple-gray peaks that I know are now crumbled to dust. Flight Officer Darin “Thumper” Stanic, Corona Nine by Thumper09 “…transmitted their path Made of nothing but hope and theoretical math.” HK-47 in “meatbag” disguise in The Steel in Our Hearts Will Be Monuments by ViariSkywalker “Recitation: Like every other sentient sack of flesh here, I am most eager to begin this journey. I can think of nothing more thrilling than the ride that awaits me on your fine vehicle, and I am certain that the fraying cables and half-rusted chassis and overheating engine won’t be an issue as we scale this dangerously steep mountain; nor do I fear that the catastrophic failure of any one of these components will cause us all to plummet to our doom, dashing our fragile, liquideous bodies against the cold and unforgiving rock.” Mara Jade in Black Pawn by vader_incarnate "You're not a bad kisser, Farmboy. But it's reductively sexist to assume I'm going to follow you to the dark side for want of a good kiss, and frankly, I'm disappointed in you." Let Every Little Fracture Shatter by Mira_Jade He ignited the first and then the second blade, and he opened his eyes to see - - gold. Like twin beams of liquid sun, the blades were a blinding, xanthous shade of gold. Mourning by vader_incarnate Vader had no one left with whom to share his grief, and knew of no other way to lighten it, so he mourned in the only way he could: by meting out the raw pain from the chasm in his soul, the one that should have been full with a wife and a child, the one that was instead a black hole that could never be sated but that always demanded more and more and more as he ripped open the wounds in his psyche again and again and again until he hemorrhaged pain in unending perpetuity. Restoration by Gabri_Jade for dreams are wished-for things, and she never had missed, or asked, desired—never knew the prison walls around her, solid, high unseen but binding and insidious, and she had never noticed, never looked beyond, or wondered over what could have been—should have been—hers Death and the Maiden by Pandora I don’t know who she was, but I know what she had become: She wore the bloodbright red dress with firebug lights a-glow on the skirts, the sleeve cuffs trimmed with stolen nightdark soft fur. The pearl crown was perched on her fine ordinary brown hair. She smiled down, upon the masses of people she couldn’t quite see, at her people, with her new face. Sacrifice by ViariSkywalker Her presence has always felt to him like the pulse of a starfighter’s engines, wild waves of energy held in check by steel and circuitry and a steady hand, oscillating from one extreme to the other without ever tipping over the edge. That thrum of life – that spark that has always been his twin sister – sputters and fades and vanishes completely, and he is left grasping in the dark for some trace of her light. Saelyra in Tea Time (from The Shadow's Index) by Kit' "From what I was feeling through the Force at the beginning I was sure that I was going to have to be the first Master in the history of the Temple whose padawan had fallen to the darkside during the act of making tea." The Ballad of Garazeb—by Ezra Bridger by Raissa Baiard Ohhhhh, when Zeb gets in a bashing groove, He strikes fear in the hearts of troopers. I’d rhyme “troopers” with “poopers” But Hera wouldn’t approve! Fathom by Thumper09 Lekba was being an irresponsible, obstinate octowhale for insisting on living there and constantly being in danger. Non-Star Wars [Sense & Sensibility] ‘Ode to a Brook’ and Other Selections by Mira_Jade You wear your courtesy like armor And I, like a vine, am rooting through stone for skin searching, slowly, to welcome myself in [Stranger Things] Salt and Water by amidalachick I've kissed a thousand shores, from the frozen poles to the sunny tropics, but now I dance around your feet.

[Star Trek] Halcyon Dawn by WarmNyota_SweetAyesha "In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength." Akilah replied. "And you're one of the strongest people I know." [Tolkien] 10. Armor from Keepsake Bouquets by WarmNyota_SweetAyesha It was wonderful, she realized, to know and be known and valued as yourself. It was liberating to slip out of the armor... [LOTR: Rings of Power] Table Talk by brodiew “Never. You are first in my heart. Forever and always. But why not take the opportunity to kill two trolls with one stone…table.” “I think it would be good for you to stop talking, now, Durin, Son of Durin,” she said, raising an eyebrow. Favorite Headsplode Moment Star Wars Imposters by Kit' Spoiler The moment when we realize that Kithera is disguising herself as, and playing the role of, a Jedi—riffing on the theme of the challenge the story was written for, which was to write a story where “one of your OCs does something that at first glance seems to be out-of-character for them.” Just sums up Kithera’s whole relationship to the Jedi in a very cool way!

[A:TLA] I Conquer Ba Sing Se and Other Earth Kingdom Adventures by devilinthedetails Spoiler When Azula begins her diary by threatening to burn it if it doesn't cooperate in whatever way diaries can! That's one way to deal with writer's block... Favorite Action Scene Star Wars The Briar and the Rose by Kit' – Nicco and Veron's duelThe Steel in Our Hearts Will Be Monuments by ViariSkywalker – Final fight scene with twins and HK-47 vs. the kidnapper and his minions—especially the “Kneecaps” moment.Interregnum II by Bel505 and DrMcKay – Tionne vs an Imperial trooper; it’s a very short action scene, but it’s epicBlack Pawn by vader_incarnate – Luke Skywalker vs Mara Jade – the entirety of Luke vs Mara *chef’s kiss*Black Knight by vader_incarnate – Luke vs Mara, take two!Enter the Foreign by ViariSkywalker – the climactic battle scene – the space battle in which Anakin Skywalker gets into an X-Wing – The entire finaleFivefold Unfolding by Findswoman – The missionThe Beast and the Beauty by Mira Grau –The ending battle between several main characters and Zaralt Non-Star Wars Aries Parries Queries by pronker – The Penguins making a hasty and chaotic exit from their camping spot (nearly a campfire extinguishing fail, 'nough said) Favorite “Finally” Moment Star Wars Fathom by Thumper09 Spoiler When Bissl reaches the surface at last.

(Which doesn’t mean I won’t write more of either, of course! @amidalachick Week 8 of Through These Tangled Threads of Light. I haven't made a secret of the fact that I've struggled with my writing these past few years. This particular set of drabbles was something that I had fun writing, and I actually felt okay about how it turned out. It's a small step but I'm proud of it. @Gabri_Jade Reclamation —The idea I got fifteen years ago, never forgot, and am finally writing - and which pulled me back to fanfic after years away, and which is therefore indirectly responsible for everything I’ve written since. Now I just have to finish it @Mira_Jade This is such a hard question to answer, but I'm going to have to go with Love Betters What is Best. I poured my heart and soul - and no small amount of research - into this collection, and there are a few pieces in here that I consider some of my finest work as an author. Though, of course, that is a bar I look forward to pushing past and exceeding in the time to come! @ViariSkywalker Once again, picking my favorite story from the past year is about as impossible as choosing between my kids, but I think it’s only right that I choose Enter the Foreign. Not only is it the genesis of my entire Enter!verse, it’s also a story that has been near and dear to my heart for close to fifteen years, and finishing it in 2022 was such a huge accomplishment for me. I’m very proud of the story as a whole, and I’m thankful for how it helped me to become a better writer and spurred me to explore an entire world of stories I otherwise wouldn’t have written. @Kahara This was a tough one! I also had a great time writing the other short that I finished in 2022, but ultimately just couldn't not pick the Winter Fic-Gift that I wrote for Raissa -- it was such a fun project and I'm really happy with how it turned out. So yup, it's going to have to be The Tale of Canderous Ordo and How It Is Past Wren’s Bedtime. @earlybird-obi-wan – Two twins ~~
