Await the Dawn? 💜
My first and maybe only Star Wars fic (well, maybe drabbles and one-shots, but not something outlined and drawn-out). #darth maul needs therapy. Sure give him hugs too bc he’s evil little meow meow but imo the little bastard has himself to blame lol A practice writing villain, anti-villain and morally ambiguous characters. Also my attempt at slow burn romance.
Something from close to the ending:
“Brother.” He smiles wryly. “Come to rescue me again?”
Savage simply sits down by his side. He waits to be covered by a giant shadow, to rest in its familiar, reassuring weight. It never come. The twin suns of Tatooine is a glaring, unrelenting white.
I forgot, the thought comes to him, absentminded. Ghosts cast no shadow. Not the real ones.
“I held her in my arms until—until the very end,” he pauses, overcoming a lump in his throat.
“Like you held me when I died?”
He looks down at his hands.
“Why does it always end like this?”
“You already know the answer, Brother. But there is still time—“ Savage’s voice is cut off by a sudden gush of wind.
