Genre: Drabbles
Characters: Han/Leia, Luke/Mara, Sidious, Tyranus, Vader, Plagueis, Piett
Summary: Everyone has attachments, except true Sith.
Attraction
Han Solo was not a believer that opposites attract, at least not until he had met the Princess. She was use to being served and having people obey and respect her. He was just a dirty scoundrel who could lie, cheat and swindle her father's crown out from under him if he so wanted.
So how exactly did they end up attracted together, much less married?
"It was that fight in the detention block," he mused with a smile. "When she took Luke's blaster and shot the grate. She stole my heart like a true scoundrel. Who knew?"
Love
"What is love to you, Tyranus?"
"A weakness."
"That is the Sith philosophy, but you were not always thus to think so," Sidious reminded. "So I ask again, what is love to you?"
The apprentice was quiet, reluctant to answer. Sidious was patient and waited until the older man gathered his thoughts to answer. When he did, Tyranus was quiet, "Peace. Unequivocal trust. To know it will be returned."
"You have loved before." A statement.
"Yes."
"Ah," Sidious wore an amused smile. "So the revered Jedi Master has strayed after all."
Commitment
"The Jedi Way is the way of duty, apprentice," stated the Muun. "They can be expected to remain dutiful to their convictions, to the Republic and their Code. Duty is a weakness."
"How so?" the exhausted and young red-headed Sith inquired.
"Because duty can be exploited. We will use their duty against them," Plagueis' smile was as bitterly cold as the Mygeeto snow around them. "We will make them serve us and their duty will compel them to obey."
"What is to stop them from fulfilling their duty to slay us?"
"The Chancellorship."
Marriage
It was just a documentary, however, it ended up being the most offending thing Mara Jade had ever seen. "I did not do that at our union."
"Do what exactly, Mara?"
"That!" she gestured at the scene currently showing her look-a-like being very out of character with a bunch of birds.
Luke laughed a little but cut it short at the look he received from his wife. He gave her his farmboy smile and embraced her from behind, "It could be worse."
"Not a word, Skywalker."
"They could have documented your time with Lando."
Anniversary
Piett swallowed thickly as he entered the dark sanctum that was Lord Vader's meditation chamber. The room was dim and he could not see Vader which worried him. He noticed something off to the left curiously. That he hadn't seen before and he wondered why there was a hologram of a woman. Curious, he stepped over to exam her and thought she looked familiar.
"Padmè Amidala," a raspy voice said and Piett jumped to see Vader standing in the shadows without his mask. "She died twenty years ago." The captain swore he heard remorse in the Sith's tone.
