Sabé: “My hands are yours.”

Narrator: That day, Padmé was amazed to discover that when Sabé was saying "My hands are yours" what she meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved her back.

When the cold of Winter comes Starless night will cover day In the veiling of the sun We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams I can hear your name And in dreams We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall And we come to end of days In the dark I hear a call Calling me there I will go there And back again

EK Johnston breaking my heart over here

Padmé winged easily through the steps, whisking Sabé along with her, and for a moment, they were waltzing in their nightgowns through the ballroom of Theed Palace, Sabé’s touch electric at the small of her back. It was only on her planet that petticoats and ballgowns, stiff and unforgiving on the bodies of Imperials, turned beautiful, their hems flaring vibrantly over the floor with their soft, silken sighs.

It was only in Sabé’s arms, dancing through her memories of Naboo, that Padmé became weightless.

(Or, Padmé and Sabé have a romantic night to themselves following the rise of the Empire.)

Queen's Shadow 11/??? “If only,” she said, “you knew of a way to be in two places at once.” The brush stilled. “There’s a difference between asking you to come with me and sending you alone,” Padmé said. In either case, Tatooine was hardly an easy destination. “I know,” Sabé said calmly. This was a line Yané had watched them skirt for all the years they had been friends. Padmé knew in her heart that Sabé would do whatever she asked, even if it meant Sabé’s life, and therefore she was always careful never to ask too much. -E.K Johnston

“Look at how fast the world turns when you ask it to,” Sabé said. “You should know,” Padmé said. “You’re the one turning it.” “I won’t let you fall off,” Sabé told her. She reached out, and Padmé took her hands. “I know,” Padmé said. -Queen's Shadow, E.K Johnston

Queen's Shadow 9/??? Sabé knelt in front of her and took her hands. Padmé knew that her dearest friend would see her weariness no matter how she tried to hide it, so she didn’t. Sabé looked her straight in the face, as she had always done, and the message in her eyes was clear as crystal. We are brave, Your Highness. -E.K Johnston

Queen's Shadow 13/??? “I will,” Padmé said. “I’m not always comfortable with who I am here, but I’ll stay.” “You’ll be Amidala,” Sabé said. “And you’ll be Padmé, too.” “And you’ll be Tsabin and Sabé?” Padmé asked, even though she already knew the answer. “For as long as you need me,” Sabé said. -E.K Johnston

Queen's Shadow 6/??? “‘We’?” Padmé said, her heart in her mouth. “Of course we,” Sabé said. “You haven’t tied your own shoelaces in four years. You’re going to need all the help you can get.” “That is not fair or true,” Padmé said, laughing as she descended from the platform on Sabé’s arm. -Queen's Shadow, E.K. Johnston
