Almost by Z.P. Florian (R)
Fandom: Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy
Pairing: None, really; a couple mentions of Anakin having romantic liasons, but no pairing specifically.
Author on LJ: The author is not on lj, as far as I know.
Author Website: The Darth Side
Why this must be read:
Z.P. Florian has a knack for getting into Vader’s helmet. This story, covering Vader’s thoughts after he takes on the mantle and mask of the Vader we know so well, is a well written piece, made all the more amazing by the fact that it predates Episode 3 yet still manages to echo bits of Anakin from the prequel trilogy. Simultaneously mournful, joyful, and angry, it’s an intteresting – and disjointed- look into what’s going on in Vader’s head.
Excerpt: This has the power to break me. Nothing else had power over me, never had, never will, nothing! not even you, Master - you never had any power over me and you knew it! But this. . . this could . . . break me. . .
You could have let me die, had you an ounce of mercy.
What have I got? An excellent machine that can concentrate fully on the task of helping you conquer the universe. It needs no sleep, no food apart from some nutrient paste, maybe a good oiling once in a while - never feels tired...And can't feel the edge of a blade of grass.
