Supreme Chancellor Palpatine requests Anakin's presence at the Galaxies Opera House to lay his greatest trap yet, but something occurs that was not foreseen, at least not by the Dark Lord of the Sith. AU. Violence warning. PART 1 is complete! 1/9/16

Shmi tends her injured son and shares the old, old story of how Ekkreth the trickster escaped slavery. And Anakin will remember.

When he's eight years old he decides that freedom means never having to say "Yes Master" or any variation thereof again. Anakin Skywalker in ten steps.

Not all beasts have a tender soul lurking underneath. Sometimes, the true beast is only waiting to be released. A What If one-shot. What if Padme Amidala had consulted with a former friend and mentor after Anakin left for Mustafar and before the Republic was turned upside down? What if she only thought she wanted to know the truth? (And yes, I am still alive and writing. :)

Anakin has returned to Coruscant after the Battle of Geonosis and meets with an old friend. Dark secrets surface in the resulting conversation. Missing scene.

Or, The Tragedy of Darth Sidious the Art Collector. Anakin objects violently to Palpatine's choice of art. ROTS AU, and very cracky.

After a night at the opera, Anakin considers a slight role reversal in his relationship with his mentor, Palpatine. Rated M for language. Pre-slash. Anakin is not yet Darth Vader, yet Anakin S. in the character listings suggests Anakin Solo, so it's DV
