lumy12Title: "End Game"
Fandom: Star Wars
Characters: Emperor Palpatine
Prompt:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yenneffer's request: Palpatine + dirty (non-porn!).
Word Count: 335
Rating: PG
Summary: Just a Palpatine vignette :)
Author's Notes: Hiatus drabble #8.
Many years had passed since Emperor Palpatine had killed anyone personally. He had minions to tend to such inconvenient matters for him -- most notably, his apprentice. Vader killed instinctively and indiscriminately, and as long as he remained sufficiently loyal, Palpatine was content to leave the Empire's dirty work to him.
This time, however, could be different. It all depended on the actions of one Luke Skywalker.
As Vader approached with his son, Palpatine remotely examined the other Sith's Force presence. To his dismay, he found it irritatingly bathed in light. Luke had somehow managed to penetrate the dark in just the few minutes since his arrival. But how? By simply existing? If that were so, then Vader was no less of a sentimental fool than Anakin had been, even after all these years of marriage to the most ruthless of spouses -- the dark side of the Force.
Clearly the turning of young Skywalker was a task best left to the Master. And Luke would turn; if Palpatine had to electrocute him to within a hair of death, he would turn. Vader's life would undoubtedly be sacrificed in the process, for he knew Vader would kill the Emperor in a heartbeat to rule the galaxy with his son. If all went according to plan, Luke would dispose of Vader himself. And then the real work would begin.
Unlike Anakin, Luke was not ripe fruit on the verge of turning; he needed to mature. The raw talent the boy possessed, however, was succulent to Palpatine's finicky Force palate. And soon it would be his, all his, to savor at will. Another beautiful blond blue-eyed Skywalker boy would soon kneel before him and pledge his body and soul to Palpatine. Luke would be Palpatine's pet project, a delicious alleviation of the malaise that was sure to plague him once the pathetic Rebellion was annihilated.
Vader would soon be dead; the old man could feel it. And this time Palpatine would be merciful enough not to intervene.

And then there's, how many people has he caused to die: Oh, about 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times 100?
There's a man who knows how to delegate!
Re: THE DEATH TOLL IS CATASTROPHIC!!
Date: 2009-08-23 01:53 pm (UTC)I love how your RL convo tied in with my fic. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT! Er... hehe.
Palps is the king of delegation. Though I suppose we can't credit Alderaan to him, can we.

Date: 2009-08-23 09:56 am (UTC)PALPATINE; (to Mothma) Senator, could I mastermind your forces too? I'm bored just commanding the Empire...
MOTHMA: wtf? Er... would you be impartial?
PALPATINE: I do try, but you know what it's like playing chess with yourself... you always pick a side... why, back when I masterminded the Clone Wars... I need to kidnap myself again... that was fun; so many happy memories...
MOTHMA: You WHAT????
(I'm on two cans of V. It takes half a cup of coffee sans sugar to get me buzzing... sorry...)

Date: 2009-08-27 04:48 am (UTC)I know it shouldn't be hard to make Palpatine creepy but I do tend to make him too... "fluffy" sometimes :)
no subject
Date: 2009-08-28 12:28 am (UTC)It's also kind of tragic, knowing what's going to happen. Palpatine is so wrong this time. And the bit where he is wondering how Luke managed to "lighten" Vader's Force presence - it makes me pity him. For all his intelligence, how clueless and deluded he is about certain things, such as love.

Date: 2009-09-20 12:23 pm (UTC)Beautiful line; and so true! Besides, I can almost hear Palpatine's inner voice (should I be alarmed that I hear his inner voice, or gleeful, perhaps? ;) ) scheming and seething about Anakin's sentimentality. Powerful.
And then, thinking of Luke as a project to alleviate his boredom... So sithly and such a dirty mind (in non-porn way, accidentally, this time).
The last line chilled me to bones. It joints the essence of prequel and original trilogy just perfectly, and is so... so Palpatine. Rotten in the core, gleeful, powerful... Just perfect :)

PS. Again sorry for not replying sooner. I can't belive I haven't noticed the message :/
