    The Truth (Star Wars) (Complete)

    Yeah. The entire reason Sidious disbands the Senate in ANH is because he's finally got things to the point that he doesn't need to placate the masses anymore. And sure, losing the Death Star was not in his plans, but note that he's still successfully ruling the galaxy and controlling enough of...

    Only this morning did I realize that I had set Luke's first public reveal as a Jedi to be him fighting a bunch of mooks... in a hallway. And since this is ANH, it's occurring literally the day after the end of Rogue One. Truly like father, like son. The Skywalker heritage of sheer fucking...

    The Truth (Star Wars) (Complete)

    In Legends, Leia was self-aware enough to admit that for as long as she was filled with so much anger over the events of her past then it was a good idea that she not train very deeply in the ways of the Force. Also, note that for all that Luke gave away to his father in their conversations he...

    Good point, will need to fix that. Done.

    The Truth (Star Wars) (Complete)

    Yeah. Vader's like several years ahead of schedule on his character development already, and worse yet, he knows that Sidious lied to him about killing his wife. One of the reasons I end it here is because I honestly can't decide if Vader's just going to skip straight to turbo murdering his...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 2

    Tatooine, 0 ABY Two lightsabers clashed against each other with elegant precision, as sparks hissed and spit in the faces of both their wielders. One brilliant blue blade struck like the desert wind, a sweeping combination of speed and power that sought to push aside any obstacle that it could...

    Tatooine, 2 BBY "Hello there." "Ben?" The 17-year-old boy immediately pulled his head out from under the landspeeder's hood to look at the robed figure standing adjacent to his uncle's garage that had just greeted him. "Ben Kenobi? What are you doing here?!?" "Good morning, Luke." Obi-Wan...

    Funny stuff on youtube.

    To quote a commenter from another thread - 'If your Lois Lane isn't just a wee bit unhinged, you're doing her wrong.' Note that this was an official DC release, not a fan video.

    My Star Spangled Invisi-Gal [MCU/Dispatch] (Complete)

    Ah, missed this question. Remember that while her divinations beyond that are very imprecise, the Ancient One can scry the timeline in detail up until her death in 2016 - and Age of Ultron is in 2015. And in this timeline, if Cap hadn't returned then Ultron would have succeeded in destroying...

    To pat myself on the back, what I'm particularly proud of is how respectful I was to Tony in this story... because that was not easy for me. Being respectful to Steve is hardly a challenge, he's my favorite MCU character. Tony Stark is perhaps my least favorite MCU character, at least of the...

    Earth-MCU Insight Day: D Plus 110 Courtney took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing pulse. She'd faced down sadistic supervillains, Agent Rumlow and an entire building full of HYDRA killers, Shroud's giant spider mech, and her own imminent death by suffocation, but right at the moment...

    Earth-MCU Insight Day: D Minus Zero "Fire now." Captain America's voice came hoarsely through the headset. "Steve! No!" Courtney cried into her microphone. Next to her, Sam Wilson placed a steadying hand on her shoulder. "Do it!" Cap ordered. "Do it now!" "Firing." Maria Hill acknowledged...

    Excellent spot. They are entirely unaware of it. :p Not that I plan to go into detail much on the events of TWS - I regard that movie as so close to perfect that I am not even going to try to improve on it - but I will at least explain what happened differently in this timeline.

    MCU Rumlow is an absolutely top tier supervillain goon that any evil organization would be proud to have as one of their top soldiers. Dude is charismatic, lethal, effective, cunning, and has guts enough to not even begin to flinch from Captain America even after the other ten guys he brought...
