A Day Long Remembered by red rose knight (PG)
Fandom: Star Wars: Original Trilogy
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: The author is not on lj, as far as I know.
Author Website: Shades of Noir (but s/he does not have her fanfiction on her website; that can be found at the author's page on ff.net)
Why this must be read:
This fic, which details Vader's thoughts as he meets - and kills - Obi-Wan in A New Hope, is worth reading for it's characterization. Red Rose Night paints an intreguing portrait of their relationship as it was, in ANH. The action, rare to see in a vignette detailing a characters thoughts - is handled nicely, and flows naturally.
Excerpt: Today, everything would change.
Vader strode the long, gray corridor with only one purpose in mind: To face the last of his ghosts and to destroy his former master.
The Force sang to him in a bitter tongue. The beckoning light at the edge of his consciousness drew the dark lord toward destiny. Automatically, he reached for his lightsaber, a weapon he had not drawn against his former kind in years, not since he had wiped the ancient Jedi Order out of existence.
The blood red cast of the activated blade glowed eerily against the neutral gray walls. The hum that had once represented peace and justice was now grim and menacing in the silence of the corridor. The deadly blade cut through the air as Vader readied himself for the approaching battle.
He would not have to search, for he knew his opponent would willingly come to him.
