I dunno what this is, but I can’t get the idea out of my head, so enjoy.
Warnings for death, blood, PTSD, fucked up Force Visions, and general hallucination/vision brought on unpleasantness.
EDIT: @lacefedora‘s reblog reminded me, listening to Breath of Life by Florence and the Machine on repeat while reading will up the intensity by like, a thousand.
It starts with a nightmare Qui-Gon’s having. He’s back on Telos, which only happened a short time ago, and he’s facing Xanatos. They’re fighting, and Qui-Gon wakes up screaming out. He sits in bed, shaking and breathing hard and fast for a few moments, before getting slowly out of bed.
He stumbles his way to the ‘fresher, holds the sink with white-knuckled hands to keep himself upright, and stares into the mirror. Suddenly, Xanatos is standing behind him in the glass, laughing as a broken circle scar appears on his cheeks and his eyes glow like acid. In an overwhelming mix of grief, rage, and panic, Qui-Gon punches the mirror, shattering the glass and the image.
