Incase it's not super clear, this doesn't go in order. Most of the drabbles I might tap out for this won't be back to back chapters or follow after the other. Once again, this has been edited for any boo boos I missed originally and lengthened a bit.

"Looks like I taught you a little too well, boy," She said with a low sharp cough, dark golden red eyes chancing a glance back at the empty cavity of her chest. Her own axe had carved that hole, had made sure she wouldn't rise again. His deft hand had ensured she knew how well he could handle her axe. That boy, that boy of hers.
"You did, ma, but you did what was best for the empire," He murmured, leaning over to lightly rest his forehead against her own. His vision wavering as tears hit him. Grief swelling tightly in his chest as he clung to her. "I love you," Hearing Eddie say that hurt her more than him pulling her ribs from her body.
