Curate, connect, and discover
Once, he had a blazing furnace heart. It has lain cold for many years, filled only with a burning frost. Once, a dead-star dragon dwelt within the furnace. It has slept these many years, and he has existed in its still, inky shadow.
No longer. The dragon stirs, awakened by the cries of the two apprentices. All things must die, but these are his apprentices, and they must live. A spark floats up from somewhere deep within. The dragon coils and hisses. The spark catches. The furnace ignites.
This is how the Emperor falls.
Aka, the one where Ahsoka and Starkiller stage an intervention.

Threadbare, oneshot on AO3
Ahsoka stared into her mirror. An old woman stared back at her. “You’ve outlived your usefulness,” she observed to the crone in the mirror. “Outlived your friends, and even your enemies. Why are you still hanging on?” Aged and world-weary, Ahsoka sets out to see the galaxy and rouse herself from her melancholy. At the end of her journey, she heeds the call of the Force and ventures to Jakku, where she encounters a Force-sensitive young girl. Ahsoka is not going to take a padawan. (But then, neither was her master, and look how that turned out.)
I'm planning to make this a short oneshot series.
Haven't seen the ST, maybe shouldn't be writing this under those circumstances, but the degree to which I care is limited, so. We'll see how this goes.

Yet another side project, yes. I developed this weird urge to write Ahsoka as a jaded old woman.
