[ancient Greek meaning "going up," metaphorically in the sense of a return from the Underworld]

In a world where Anakin Skywalker was raised as a Sith, where the Battle of Naboo was lost and Palpatine declared himself Emperor shortly thereafter, and where Yan Dooku never fell to the Dark Side, the man who was once Vader may find himself with an unlikely ally in the Jedi Temple...

After I posted albumsontheside's crack fic over here, I figured I might as well post the Anabasis crack fic I wrote, too. Most of you have probably already seen this on my main journal, but now it's archived over here.

albumsontheside and I were discussing Anabasis!Anakin's likely difficulties with résumé writing, job interviews, and the like, assuming he ever gets out of prison. :P She asked for some crack fic about such.

To properly set the stage for this little bit of crack, I like to imagine that Anakin has basically been lazing around Padmé's house for like six months after getting out of jail, doing nothing all day but watching soaps.

Title: Résumé Building for Sith Lords
Author: fialleril
Characters: Anakin, Padmé, and Sabé
Rating: PG I guess
Summary: Uh, see above.

( Résumé Building for Sith Lords )

albumsontheside wrote me this lovely bit of crack today to cheer me up during final exams. She agreed to let me post it here for your enjoyment, since her journal is friends only.

So. Here's a bit of crack set vaguely during the events of Chapter 8. It's not canonical, although parts of it may be. ;) I'll leave you to guess which!

Title: The Conversation
Author: albumsontheside
Characters: Anakin/Vader, Sabé
Rating: She didn't give it one, but I think I'll have to say PG-13. ;)
Summary: The prompt was "Sabé teasing Vaderkin". Of course this involves making fun of his sex life. Of course.

starfoozle drew me this gorgeous image of Kitster Banai the actor, relaxing for a moment with a cup of Tatooine tzai and a book of Kanim.

Click the image to go to her post.

Author: fialleril
Characters: Anakin/Vader
Summary: Following the events of the last chapter, in his dreams Anakin meets a ghost and comes face to face with his own dissociation.
Rating: PG
Note on the Title: Anamnesis is Greek for "remembrance" or a calling to mind. In Platonic thought it often refers to remembrance of a past life.
