Another Way To Fall (Fanfiction, Star Wars)

[selenak]

Star Wars, Clone Wars edition, continues to be on my brain. And to inspire fanfiction. This time about a supporting character whose actions have a major affect on everyone's storylines, but whose key development happened off screen... or did it?

!!!! This is so beautiful, I've always wanted a story about Barriss, about her fall (and I never thought that she turned to the dark side) and then being confronted with Vader as Anakin and being given the harshes sentence Anakin knows to give now: To live.

But also, Ahsoka through her eyes, and Anakin too.

(BTW have you read the new Marvel Darth Vader comics? It seems Palpatine is using the Jedi Temple as his Imperial Palace-- its like another layer of joke and knife he keeps twisting at Vader.)

Thank you for this story!

I want to read the comics, because I've heard much good about them, but they're hard to get in my part of the world! So I'm hoping for trade collections I could then order.

Re: Barriss, she was one of the characters whom I thought was begging for more exploration via fanfiction, but I wasn't really content with what I found, which was a clear signal from my mind I should get to work. :)
