In the Chorus and Solo verse, what would happen if a Sith died in childbirth? who would be considered the killer?

The child. Which means literally baby Sith, and either they’re going to grow up very strange, or someone’s going to smother them as a child. Depends entirely on the sort of people they grow up with.

On a side note – unless someone else takes the idea and runs with it, that is not a scenario that’s going to ever happen in Chorus and Solo, not even as “this happened to one of the Sith in the Chorus”. Because while I respect that some people want to have kids, and like being (or like the idea of being) pregnant, the entire concept squicks me out something fierce, and I cannot write it.

Is Anakin a part of you Chorus AU? Is he Gonna remain at Naboo or does Obi wan take him back? Does obi wan train him or does someone else take over? Does Obi wan stay with the order? Would Qui Gon assist with him telling the council off as he would do? Does Obi wan get told who the sith master is? Or does Palps know that Obi wan has the Chorus?

Okay, taking these in order. A lot of the answers is simply spoilers, but some of them don’t exactly get covered by the current fic-in-progress for the AU (because it’s entirely from Obi-Wan’s POV, and there are gaps in his knowledge by necessity), so the spoilers are further out.

Anakin is part of the AU, what happens to him is spoilers. Including the question about what happens with training.

Obi-Wan and the Order:

No, he doesn’t stay with the order. How would risking imprisonment and death be any use to him or anyone else?

Nope, because by the time the Council gets to Naboo, Obi-Wan has left. If he runs into them later… well, Qui-Gon will be quite smugly proud of his former Padawan, if that’s the case.

Sith Master – spoilers and spoilers.

The Sith have other people kill them on purpose? So they can join the Chorus instead of passing on? That’s not what I was expecting. For some reason I thought they’d resent being stuck, so you had a large parcel of reluctant, disgruntled ghosts on your hands. Thank you for answering my question!

Oh, they do resent being trapped – but the resentment is more the “and now I have to follow around this barely-Force-sensitive person, and what do you mean they just got murdered by a Jedi?” sort of thing than “why am I still here?” sort of thing.

Disgruntled Sith ghosts as part of the Chorus have happily driven Jedi and other newly-minted Sith who weren’t their Apprentice to doing all sorts of things they wouldn’t contemplate, just for a few moments of quiet and peace.

When the person who is involved isn’t aware of what they’re dealing with, they often think they’re losing their mind. They’re not entirely wrong.

Anonymous said: Wait, oh no, I think I’ve misunderstood something. Maul wasn’t carrying around the Sith curse when he died? How did Obi-Wan end up with it again? Gah. Sorry, I’ll find the first fic.

Maul was carrying the Chorus when Obi-Wan killed him, because Sidious is a cautious bastard when it comes to his own mental stability, but not so much when it comes to that of his Apprentice. So he made sure Maul made the killing stroke to take out Plaegous, so he’d have the Chorus… which may have been a mistake even if Naboo hadn’t happened.

Anonymous said: If the gift of Bane includes all the pre-Bane Sith that still had tombs, does that mean those Sith can wander off from the Chorus and go back to their tombs or to wherever they’d stashed their anchor points? Can the Sith without tombs establish other anchor points and wander in and out as they like?

The only reason Bane managed to include them was their anchor points, and I think they are capable of wandering back to their tombs if they have reason to. And some spend most of their time at their Tombs because they find a lot of the younger Sith no more interesting than those Tombs.

What they can’t do is go wandering around the galaxy to any Dark-Side anchor point, which annoys them no end, because some of them used to do that. Which now this upstart child has made impossible, and they’re cranky about that, if not usually enough to go trying to drive new Sith out of their minds.

There are some Sith since Bane that have made a point to establish Tombs or create holocrons before they die so they can go hang out elsewhere if they’re bored with the current Sith Lord. Not very many, though, and most of those were Apprentices who killed their Master.

Zannah has a holocron she could go bugger off to if she weren’t intrigued by this new Jedi-forcibly-made-Sith, a handful of others have holocrons or Tombs that are younger than she is, but most don’t. Most of the older ones showed up at the transfer, and left fairly quickly. They’re not interested in talking to an upstart Jedi, they have long-term experiments going on at their Tombs that their more interested in.

So mostly who Obi-Wan has to deal with are Zannah, who finds driving new Sith out of their minds boring; Maul, who didn’t have a chance to make holocron or Tomb prior to being killed; and Qui-Gon, who technically shouldn’t be part of this, but Sidious tried to fuck with the spell, and it was very confused, so grabbed all the newly dead Force-users within reach, and now Obi-Wan at least has one non-Sith ally.

Bestworst example of racism–>scientific conclusions I’ve ever seen was this guy (I forget who, he’s quoted in Gould’s _The Mismeasure of Man_) who said that he had scientific proof that the white race was the very best race. The proof was that he liked white women’s tits the best of all tits.

*tilts head and boggles* I. Dude, I have no idea what to say to that, other than, seriously? Someone decided to conclude that white people are best because he’s got something for a particular sort of boob?

*facepalms* People are fucking weird sometimes.

In your Chorus and Solo AU, what happens if the current holder of the curse dies without being killed, so there’s no one to pass the curse on to? Say, if they managed to die of age, or other natural causes like disease, or completely on accident?

I think if it’s an accident, it tends to fall on whoever is nearest the precipitating event of the accident that resulted in the Sith’s death – provided it’s instantaneous, or nearly so. If not, Sith have a habit of making sure they survive to be rescued, and then make sure their rescuer kills them. Because they’re not going to let go of existence without a lot of effort.

No one’s ever managed to die of age, because they either employ methods to ensure they don’t age much, or their Apprentice finally kills them, or the Jedi or a bounty hunter gets lucky. For certain values of lucky.

Disease. Huh. I’m honestly not sure. I’m inclined to think that they are highly unlikely to die of disease, and if they’re certain they are going to die, they’re going to make sure someone pulls the trigger on a faster, cleaner death.

And I think a large part of that may well be how the Chorus was created – not necessarily an intentional effect on the part of Bane, but a side effect that has proved interesting.

I love your Queen of Mercy and Grace AU! That is a whole ‘nother lovely level of creepy. Mmmmm, beautiful. Does Obi-Wan get demoted to a shadow after he sends the twins away?

He wishes he were. It would be a much easier and simpler life. And probably significantly less painful, both emotionally and physically.

Before he is hoisted up above the gates of the former Jedi Temple, bound to a frame, bloodied, naked, humiliated and above all, still living, he spends quality time in the hands of the Queen and her Imperator, and their toys. Physically tortured, his mind scoured and picked apart, reminded again and again and again that he is theirs, and they do not let go of what is theirs.

When he’s finally let down, all he can do at first is kneel at their feet, and thank them for his life.

To him, it doesn’t matter what he must do to survive, he will do it, because if he lives, than Qui-Gon lives, than all the shadows hiding in the darkness beneath the former Temple live, and one day someone can give them back what was stolen from them. One day, the twins and the soldiers he hid at the edges of the galaxy might be able to bring back shades of gray to a world too bright and too dark at the same time.

And that, above all, is a reason he keeps hidden and protected against even the scouring of Queen and Imperator. No one knows what he has done, what he has nurtured at the edges of the sun-and-shadow that is the Empire. What waits at the heart for the moment the Queen falls. The moment the Imperator dies. The moment he finally, finally, can let go and become just another murmur in the Force.

Is Chorus and Solo still in progress? I enjoyed it greatly and would like to see more, please.

It is still in progress. 🙂

Like every other AU I have, it goes through cycles of writing and not writing, and it is currently not at the top of the pile of things to write. There will be more of it when it comes back around.

And there’s also the fact I go through cycles of writing lots and writing only a little, and it’s currently at a low ebb – writing will probably pick up again more in late August/early September, with more new stuff to snippet for daily stuff, and that high will last through late November, with December-late February/early March being another slow time, and mid-March to mid-May being another high point.

What do you do if you’re talking to someone and they’re creeping you out? Like I talked to his person and within the first 10 he talked to me on how being stabbed would be like, send me a shortened link that had a video on someone stabbing a friend? And asked me how she felt being stabbed by her friend (it was a film) I’m getting real bad vibes but I don’t wanna be mean? He even asked me my age within 10 mins too?

If they’re creeping you out, the best option is to stop talking to them. I know that social conditioning says to just not say anything, and be nice and let them talk, but when they’re sending you videos like that right off the bat?

Run, and don’t look back.

If he keeps messaging you, don’t worry about appearing to be mean, block him. Your safety is more important than toeing the social line. Please, please, watch out for yourself before worrying about whether or not you seem mean to someone who is creeping you out.

Also, his asking you your age that quickly sends up red flags to me, when combined with the rest of it.

And anyone who’s following me – if someone is creeping you out when you talk to them, either in person or online, listen to that feeling. Don’t tell yourself that you shouldn’t be mean, or you should be polite and keep talking to them because maybe they’re just awkward. Watch out for yourself, and do what you need to do to get away from that person.

If you’re online, block them. If you’re in brick-space, have a signal you can send a friend or reliable relative or a responsible adult you trust. If they’re supposed to be a date, make sure someone – or multiple someones – you trust have pictures of you that day, have a picture of the person you’re meeting, know where you’re supposed to be going, and when you’re planning to be home.

Be safe. Trust your instincts. Watch out for yourself and each other.
