    Summary

    When Darth Vader died, his eyes were blue.

    When Anakin Skywalker opened them again, and again, and again, they were black, then they were red, then they were bleeding.

    (alt: one act of kindness doesn't erase half a lifetime of violence, but anakin is not certain he wants it to. not when the violence of his past that still lurks just barely beneath his skin lets him see impressions of people he had once known in those around him, lets him see echoes of the mistakes he had once made, lets him know to steer clear of friendly overtures by manipulative politicians. more than anything else, being born into a Clan, a family with a certain reputation lets him realise that moral greyness offers much more wiggle room than he'd ever expected.)

    [alt. alt: anakin v palpatine, only make it anakin-as-itachi v danzo, and all the hell that will bring]

    Summary

    He could still feel sand beneath his finger nails, and despite the fact that he had many dreams come true, none had felt so real, and to have dreams within his dreams was unheard of.

    He flipped his hands over, resting his palms against his knees, his real skin and flesh knees, warm beneath his hands and slid his eyes shut. He took a deep breath, kept taking them until they didn’t shake him to his core, let himself get lost in the rhythm.

    When he opened his eyes again, he was still in his room, and nothing had changed. It was early, early enough that even the kitchen servants would just be waking up.

    He was so much colder than he had been in years.

    -

    After a year of being the Padishah Emperor, Paul Atreides wakes up as a seventeen year old again. He doesn't know how he got there, but he's willing to do anything too keep his father from going back to Arrakis, even if that anything is a plan that he had thought of years ago and never thought would come to fruition.

    Summary

    As a child of a Bene Gesserit, Paul was gifted with a curse, plagued by vivid dreams of the inevitable future. Endeavor as he might, he can not stop it from coming to pass. But that does not mean he cannot transform it, even when such signifies a trade from what's carved into stone for an unnerving blank slate.

    Surpass the fear, and perhaps one will find there's much to rejoice in the unknown.
