TM: This Year's Goals
Like every year since Anakin took up the name of Vader, Padme just wants to find a safe place to raise the children. She wants not to worry about the Empire finding them. She wants not to worry about them turning to the Dark Side as their father did ( Read more... ) -
TM: What Keeps You Up At Night?
"Mommy?" The soft whisper invades Padme's sleep, along with the little pokes to her ribs, disturbing a rather peaceful dream ( Read more... ) -
TM: Rebellion
When she rebelled, it was quiet and discreet. Back room politics, secret meetings; all done within Coruscant's legal standards. All of which would've led them to be branded traitors- or at the very least, Separatist sympathizers- should they be found out. She had no doubt that if they were discovered by Palpatine before they were ready, all of ( Read more... ) -
Human Nature

Unless you'd rather wait ( Read more... ) -
In the Morning
When morning comes, the sun rises over Coruscant, lighting up the bedroom of Padme's apartment despite the curtains being pulled. She yawns and stretches a bit before recalling the previous night. Anakin coming home for the first time in what felt like forever. She smiles a bit and rolls over to see if he's still asleep beside her.
