    Summary

    Despite the two being the exact same character, merely portrayed in different stages of his life, one is widely lauded in the pop cultural consciousness and the other is derided for being "disappointing" and "badly written". Through the lens of different masculinities, the current essay aims to examine how the contrasting depictions of Anakin Skywalker in the Prequel and Original Trilogies could have garnered such an extreme reaction to the reveal of the backstory of one of the most famous villains from 20th century pop culture, as well as how the animated interquel Star Wars: The Clone Wars responded to such criticisms and to what effect.

    Originally titled: On the characterization and fandom reception of Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars in relation to differing masculinities.

    Summary

    He’d meant nothing to her before that night. Even when she’d seen his face, deep pitted scars marring half of it, she hadn’t been scared. His voice, so rough and deep, smoothed over her, whispering soft words.

    “Little bird, I’m so sorry.”

    -

    After the murder of her parents Sansa can’t shake the memory of the officer who was there for her that night. Burning of the Blackwater-esque.

    Summary

    Modern AU
    US navy SEALs AU

    The openly admitted goal, to Sandor spending his leave at his SEAL’s team partner Robb Stark’s cabin, was to put up a pre-fab shed in the backyard. The real goal was to keep Stark from spiraling over his god-awful break-up with the lady doctor.

    Sandor had agreed, thinking that, one, said “cabin” would actually be a cabin and not a huge-ass “mansion” or “ski lodge” or whatever the old money tosser wanted to call it. And two, that “by the way, my sister will be staying over for a night or two,” meant Arya, whom, as Robb well knew, was the only Stark sister Sandor had ever met.

    Summary

    I started writing this San/San smut about ten years ago but got bogged down because every time I tried rereading the books again to get all the voices and timeline details right, I just couldn't make much headway. The show was not for me. I made it through a couple episodes of the first season, but no farther. Maybe someday when the world is less bleak, I'll reread the series and revisit this fanfic (and actually get to the smutty parts), but even if I don't, I've realized that I like the emotional/character arc that Sansa goes through here. In my head canon, they do eventually run away together and have lots of very intense, slightly terrifying sex, but apparently that's not what this fic wants to be, and I've made my peace with that. I still like it, and figure I'll finally post it.

    Set in the immediate aftermath of the tourney. Goes slightly non-canon, but definitely not full AU.
