5 - The Rise of Skywalker

Vader x Ex-Padawan reader - Chapter 5 - Meditation

Previous parts

Summary: Vader finds out the true extent to how much damage his body endured after mustafar, meditation leads him to an old friend.

Thanks for all the love on this series! Reblogs and comments are what keep me going! <3

Warnings: panic attack description, hurt/comfort

No one would be that stupid.

Vader wasn’t sure what you meant until he saw it with his own eyes. People had a very healthy respect for you, especially the Rebels and their alliances. You had a reputation, one he didn't realize belonged to you. He had heard of the Shadow Tempest many times. The epic runs, always one step ahead of the Empire. The pilot behind almost all the notable Rebel wins. In all his time with you he always did most of the piloting, he knew there were a million things to do and sort out but more than anything he wanted to take you out and see who would win.

He sat there in a meeting of people, the higher-ups of the revolution, and watched as they listened to you. You never asked for anything, simply told them that he was on your side now and that he needed the best medical. In return, they would have your help in defeating the Empire. They were very eager to have your support, apparently up until this it was very hard to persuade you into helping them. Something he would ask more questions about as from what he was told your ship had been center stage in most Rebel wins. He was surprised that help from you and Obi-Wan was enough for them to overlook his past.

Obi-Wan let out a tense laugh as they handed him a bank card. Apparently, all his money was in his account and had been converted over to card technology despite his leaving. He could go run off and be a murdering psychopath then come home and find out how much interest he had earned off his funds. This wasn't right. He didn't deserve this. People had to accept him at your request, but he could feel the way they trembled in his presence. Fear gripped people tightly and he could even feel their concern for you. Even without being able to read their thoughts, he knew their plans to pull you aside to see if you had stockholm syndrome or if he had possessed you. He guessed that was a good thing, people here cared about you. Everyone stopped what they were doing to greet you, relief that you were safe overwhelming their features, it was good to know it wasn’t skin deep. People really cared.

He was unsure about the Rebel's plans for the Empire though. But then again he was retiring from this world. He would kill the Sith, try to come back from being one, restore balance to the universe, and hide away with you - hopefully forever.

Ahsoka had not been pleasant, but she came around for the sake of ending the Empire. He hoped in time he could mend things with her. She had been your closest friend and he missed how easily she fit into the family that was formed during the Clone Wars. A family he had to put back together.

R2 was beyond happy to see him. He ran around him squealing loudly. Everyone looked horrified but he bent down and put his arms around the droid. Affection towards R2 was easy. He was the most dependable thing in his life for the longest time. He was well-maintained but still looked like he was an active participant in the war. He thought of all the lore that surrounded the Shadow Tempest, more than anything he wanted to pull R2’s memory and watch every bit of footage he had saved. He would come back for it another time.

“I kept her safe” R2 chirped loudly in his language and he laughed again patting the little droid on what would be considered his head.

“Thank you, you did an excellent job R2.” He was grateful he left something behind to help you in his absence even if it was unintentional.

Then the medical meetings started. Once he saw all his options, he was overwhelmed. From the stem cells they had of his on file, they could re-grow most of his skin to cover the prosthetics. They would have to remove more of his arms and legs as the nerves had been permanently and purposely damaged where they met the metal prosthetics. The rest of his skin could be healed with minor scaring, they could even regrow his hair follicles.

After looking at the scans and seeing the damage Palpatine did he had to leave.

He had no idea what he gave up that day on Mustafar.

He lost the woman he wanted to marry, the ability to give her a nice life, to touch her without hurting her, to touch her and feel her skin. Not to mention the horrible things he had said to you at the end lived rent-free in your mind all these years. He had given up the one person in the world he considered family, he had tried to kill his brother. All of this was to build something better for them. Yet he spent years trying to kill Obi-Wan, terrified of his old master. The sickness was too much to contain as it all came flooding back to him.

Let me go - he commanded you as he left the building. It was cruel but he was drowning in pain. He was so consumed with rage and self-hate he left to go to the temple where Obi-Wan had been going to meditate.

He knew the only true way out was through. He couldn't go on a rampage, couldn't give into weakness. He couldn't lose you again.

Palpatine had made him suffer to prevent him from his full potential. To keep him from his density. Just as the Jedi had done. Everyone wanted to hold him down, force him to comply, just like Watto. He had been so caught up in thinking he deserved the pain, which in his opinion he still did. Palpatine gave him the illusion of control and freedom. That power was so seductive but what had it gotten him? The lives he took ran through his mind at a speed that made him dizzy. Nausea gripped him as the familiar coldness ran up his limbs to settle in his stomach. It was what he imagined death felt like. The icy energy caressed his body, but he had been here too many times before to know he wasn't that lucky.

It was his punishment, he had earned it fair and square. A lifetime of suffering would never be enough to make up for the lives he took. His mind ran through this for hours as he sat in the temple trying to find peace and clarity.

He’d done too much, taken too many.

“You did what the Force deemed necessary.” The voice made him jump, not an easy thing to do. The hazy, glowing form of Qui-Gon was in front of him.

“I -” He started to argue back.

“You - are the living force. The Sith willed you into existence Anakin, there is a power in you unlike anything else in this Galaxy.” He explained calmly and his heart sank at the realization of his words.

“I’m evil.” His voice was so broken. A truth he always should have known deep down. There would be no path leading towards the man you wanted, needed, him to be.

“No, there is no good and evil in the true force, this concept of light and dark comes from the people sensitive to it and how they choose to use it. You are what it is in its true form”

“Then why is everything inside me so painful.” His voice was wet with the tears streaming down his cheeks. As far back as he can remember that power inside him has always been anger.

“Because you experienced great pain. You have to understand that your life was always one with the force. The choices you made were ultimately the direction of the force. It wants balance. The Sith and Jedi were flawed ways of doing things, it’s your job to follow this through.” His words brought tremendous relief and a tremendous amount of anxiety at the same time.

“I failed you.” He whispered.

“I failed you. Had I been around I fear that things would have been better for you. Obi-Wan was not ready, but that does not mean he doesn't care for you.” Qui-Gon smiled sadly. “You have done great things, terrible things, and carried the pain of both of them.”

Anakin sobbed. This task he was burdened with, the pain he had to cause to settle debts that had nothing to do with him. Seeing Qui-Gon made him feel like he was ten years old again. He wanted to run into his arms and hold him.

“Thank you.” He said softly.

“Now, you must complete your training with Obi-Wan, I have shown him what is needed. You must also complete training your Padawan.” He gave Anakin a big smile. “She is more important than you realize. The second half of the prophecy rests on her shoulders. You must be there to help her carry it.”

“What’s the second half of the prophecy?” His voice went dark again. He didn’t want this nonsense anywhere near you. He wanted to end Palpatine and have this part of his life over with. Had he not sacrificed enough of himself for it? Had he not tried to make the right choice every time despite the cost? The only request he had ever had in this life was to spare you and his mother.

“Don’t worry about that. Just focus on training and confronting Palpatine. Only then you will be a Jedi, a true Jedi.” Qui-Gon looked at him for a long moment. “She will be fine.” His eyes held an emotion that Anakin didn’t understand. It scared him, but he trusted Qui-Gon. He didn’t really have a choice in the end, you were too involved to shut out. You were certainly not naive enough to dump off on some planet again.

He had a million questions but felt Qui-Gon fade out. A new presence took his place, one he knew could have no form or words. She could just manage a feeling and it was enough. It was more than enough, the feeling wrapped around him and he held onto his mother tightly.

After a long while, he came back to the present moment. He reached out to Obi-Wan, knowing that reestablishing the bond would be unavoidable.

Master - He reached out and felt the bond attach on the other side.

Anakin - Obi-Wan sounded surprised and the full force of his calm presence washed over Anakin. How much he had missed being able to reach out and feel his master. The feeling was so overwhelming he needed to stay in it for a moment.

I need your help - He was unsure of what he would have left to learn from Obi-Wan but he trusted Qui-Gon.

Obi-Wan rushed to the temple and Anakin could feel his unsettled nature. The concern for him made him want to cry again. He didn't deserve this side of Obi-Wan. He watched his master take in his meditation pose and his eyes softened. He sat next to him and Anakin tried to keep his composure as Obi-Wan’s arm came around his shoulders.

“I want to apologize again,” Obi-Wan whispered. He could feel Shmi’s presence had not left the temple yet.

“Please don’t.” Anakin choked. He could tell through the newly established bond just how much sorrow Obi-Wan’s heart carried. He was overflowing with it. He knew he felt responsible for Anakin’s mother, for how poorly the council had treated him, especially when he was a boy. He could feel how painful exile had been, how he couldn't escape Anakin so he moved to Tatooine to fully accept his punishment. How much he hated the sand, but how much he loved being close to the brother he lost. Then he realized that the fresh paint and seasonal flowers on his mother’s grave was his doing. He could see his master there lighting a candle occasionally sitting with her telling her his best stories, all the moments she missed out on while he was away. The love for him that was often so well concealed flowed through the bond.

“We failed each other,” Anakin whispered.

“I was older and should have been wiser.” Obi-Wan said sadly.

Anakin told him about the prophecy and they sat there together considering things.

“You must overcome your emotions -” Anakin flinched and Obi-Wan put his hand back on his shoulder “ You must feel them and use them, but not be overwhelmed with them. Once you submit to your anger you lose the light, when you lose your anger and sense of justice, you lose your power. Everything must be about finding balance.”

Anakin nodded.

“Do you think she will stay?” Obi-Wan looked confused by his question.

“Why would she leave?” He asked softly, with tenderness in his features.

“The whole Sith creation thing. She wants me to be better, that doesn't sound good with my track record.” Anakin could feel his insecurities start to rise up and he took a breath.

Obi-Wan let out a laugh. “If she didn't want to see you she wouldn't have accepted jobs in Imperial air space for the past 7 years.”

“I still can't believe you let her do that stuff,” Anakin said slightly put out with his master.

“You think I could stop her?” He laughed again and Anakin shook his head.

_________________________

He reluctantly stood in the elevator up to your apartment. He should feel a sense of relief, or motivated towards his plan. Instead he just felt anxious. He wanted you more than anything else in the galaxy. He’d sacrifice what he had to. He didn’t care that it was attachment, you were going to be his at any cost necessary. If you were horrified what would he do? Just force you down and fuck you back into submission again?

No.

He sighed as the door to your apartment opened, he hated it when you forgot to lock the door. You were in the kitchen cooking, the sight of him caused you drop the wooden spoon into the frying pan. Your fingers picked it out and you hissed as the heat stung your flesh.

Panic raced through him. Memories of Mustafar bit into his still aching flesh. He grabbed your wrist with too much force, using the other hand to manhandle you towards the sink. He put your fingers under cold water and tried to breathe.

_______________

Anakin’s gloved hand had a painful grip on your wrist as he held it under the cold water. The fear in his eyes scared you as a cloud of darkness wrapped around him tightly. He wrapped his other hand around your torso and rested his cheek on the top of your head. You could feel his tears sinking into your scalp.

“Anakin, it’s alright.” You said softly holding on to him with your free arm. “It won’t even scar, it doesn't hurt.”

Your words were from this moment in time and you knew his mind was far away. In a world you probably wouldn't be able to reach. You let him hold you tightly.

“I’m a Sith.” He said quietly making you jump slightly.

“I know.” You werent sure what exactly he was referring to.

“What do you know?” He asked pulling away to look down at you. He was so much taller, you felt swallowed by his frame.

“I had this vision? Not sure you could call it that exactly.” You tried to figure out what you wanted to tell him before you realized the best thing to do would be to read what you had written about it right after it had happened. No details would be missed or confused. “Here, I’ll grab my journal.” Your words did nothing to lessen his grip on you.

He gave you a conflicted look. With the force he grabbed a jar of burn salve from the fridge. He opened it and stuck your fingers in it.

“Just stay.” He was worn so thin it reminded you of when he had left you all those years ago. Three days he was at the temple, that probably meant three days without sleep. Not a good idea for Anakin.

“Which journal is it?” He asked looking for guidance.

“Erm - I’d have to help.” You picked the jar of salve up and kept your fingers inside it to appease him. Where did people go to get help for this sort of thing? You had no idea how to reassure him when he got like this. You just did what he wanted or had sex with him.

He was satisfied with this. He moved with you to the bedroom. He followed your gaze to the few shelves that held notebooks, knowing full well he wouldn't listen if you told him not to read them.

You pulled three from the shelf from around that time frame with the force and started flipping through them. His attention was engrossed with the colourful writing and drawings. You found the part you were looking for and handed it to him, returning the other two back to their place on the shelf.

You reluctantly gave it over to him and returned back to the kitchen. Thankfully dinner hadn’t burned, as he’d turned the element down. He followed you leaning against your island while you kept cooking. His red eyes making sure your fingers stayed coated in the salve.

You didn't hear him read the lines but you felt his heart clench. He rested his head in his hands for a moment.

“Why did you come back?” He groaned. When you had written down what had happened you were completely terrified. You’d faced him and thought he had killed you. You woke up a shaking mess and wrote down every detail you could recall in case it came back to hurt you one day. You could feel his shame at the fear bleeding through the pages.

“I didn’t I got captured.” You said evasively. You didn't know how to answer the question he was asking you.

“Why did you bring me back.” He clarified his eyes devouring you. A memory came to you of laying in a field with him after a mission had ended and you were waiting on the ship to be repaired. The grass was covered in wild flowers and you laid in the sun, you had feelings for him but didn’t know how to tell him. You’d almost been hit on the mission and the way he had hugged you after was replaying through your mind.

“I promised you I would always come back.” You referenced that moment when he had almost lost you for the first time. “There’s enough of you in there to make the risk worth it.”

He closed his eyes and you felt him breaking down. You turned the element off half expecting to get jumped.

“I’m sorry.” His words were so thick and raw.

“Me too.”

“No, you haven’t done anything. I did it all, turns out I had to in the end. But still, the things I’ve done to you-” His voice broke.

“I wanted you to.” You felt his mind revisit that first night you had back together.

“You didn’t.”

“I did. I don’t know if you know this but I’m quite vocal when I’m unhappy.” You smirked.

“You tried to push me away, I thought it was you pulling us together -” He took a deep breath. He needed to eat and then sleep before he got too carried away.

“I don’t care. I wanted you back. That’s what I got.”

“There’s another part to the prophecy.” His voice was low.

“Oh boy.” you whispered.

“Qui-Gon won’t tell me what it is, but it’s about you.” His features looked manic and you knew it was time to shut things down before he went over the edge.

“I can handle it.” You said staring him down. You wouldn't let him be an idiot about things this time. “Now. I’m going to wash my fingers off, we're going to eat. Then sleep.” He considered you for a long moment. You could tell he was recounting what happened last time he got this worn down and scared.

He gave you a reluctant nod. You both ate quickly and despite it being 7:30 at night you got washed up and into bed.

Anakin fell asleep quickly leaving you time to think about everything. The true power of the darkside was a mystery to you. Having been Force resistant for the past 7 years, you felt particularly extra sensitive to it now. You could feel two sides of the force battling inside him, even as he slept the conflict radiated off of him. The pain still ate at his bones and his lungs were still struggling. Despite warring on him, the force was so strong it kept his body functional, making up for the gaps and the failings of his flesh.

Just like everything else about Anakin Skywalker, this was something unheard of. Even when he wanted to die, even when his body was decaying, the force still pushed him forward.

I LOVE THIS PROMPT LIST OMG can i request hawks w R2+3

Helplessly Trapped

Tag List: @issamomma @repostingmyfavs @chickennugnugnug

Warnings: Yandere themes, SFW, spanking punishment referenced, bound to the bed with handcuffs (not sexually), wrist wounds, tiny bit of blood, isolation punishment

Master List here.

Yandere Prompt here.

Prompt request: “Your poor wrists… Maybe next time you’ll do what I say the first time I ask.” “The cuffs will come off when you start acting like someone who doesn’t need them.”

—————————————————————————

You’ve been left in bed for five days now. You’ve been able to keep track with the passing of time based on how you can see the night sky through your window.

At least he didn’t lock you up in the cellar this time.

You rattle the cuffs on your wrists which have been rubbed raw due to all of your struggling, all of your attempts to break out of them. You thought that maybe if you could draw blood, use it as a lubricant, then you could slide out of the cuffs. They’re just so tight though.

Keigo walks in with a pot of salve and a bowl of soup with a spoon in it. He sits down on the edge of the bed. You can smell it. Salmon soup!

Your stomach rumbles with every savory waft from the bowl, and you try to sit up. You wince from the pain in your wrists with the attempt.

Keigo places a hand on your cheek, feeling how sticky it is from your crying session earlier when you had begged and pleaded for him to let you go during breakfast.

Breakfast was cut short when you called him a “cock sucking asshole” and tried to kick him in the jaw. You landed the hit, but it also landed you in deep trouble.

He had no qualms with shoving your knees into your chest and spanking you with a calloused hand, your panties being your only protection. It had hurt really bad, still hurts as you have to lie on it, feel the constant throbbing in your seared flesh.

“Has someone learned their lesson from breakfast?”

You nod, just wanting him to scoop up some rice and salmon with the ceramic spoon and shove it into your mouth. “Yes, Keigo, I’m sorry.”

He smiles at you, really smiles a happy and genuine smile. Keigo takes the spoon, putting some of the soup on it, delivering it right to your parted lips.

“That’s good to hear. You know I don’t like starving you, but if you’re gonna be naughty during meals, then you’re not gonna get to eat.”

You’re barely listening to him. You focus on the spoon instead, wanting to fill your stomach with the flavorful contents.

You gulp down every bite, slurp down all the broth. It’s warm, it’s fulfilling, it’s one of the best things you’ve had in a long while. Your toes curl from how your stomach isn’t barking at you anymore, and you’re sad when it’s all gone.

Keigo sets the bowl down on the nightstand of the bedroom. He switches it out for the pot of salve, twisting the lid off and scooping up some with two fingers.

“Aw, your poor wrists.” He smears the medicine over the wounds on your right side. “Maybe, next time, you won’t try to run away. Yeah?”

You blush, feeling mocked. He’s so good at making you feel little and stupid.

“Yes, Keigo. Please, I promise I learned my lesson. You really don’t need to keep me like this. I swear. Keigo!”

He moves around you to the other side, focusing on your left wrist now. You thought he was going to leave you by yourself again. You release the pent up breath in your chest as you watch him coat your bruises and abrasions with the salve.

“I don’t, huh? Is that right?” He eyes you as he walks around the bed to your night stand, putting the lid back on the pot.

Nodding vigorously, you look at him with the best puppy dog eyes, the most convincing expression of an apology you can muster. “You don’t, I promise! Please, please, take these cuffs off of me? I’ll be good. Really, I will.”

He sighs and sits down on the bed, pressing his lips to your forehead. “I wish I could just let you out of here, little bird. You have no idea how much I just want to carry you downstairs, maybe have a bit of fun with you on the couch before watching a movie. You know how much I like to kiss that spot on your stomach, the one right there-” he draws his finger lazily to the spot on your rib just bellow your breast.

“But…I can tell when you’re lying.” He pats your hip steadily, feeling the warmth beneath his hand. “The cuffs will come off when you start acting like someone who doesn’t need them.”

He stands up, taking the pot of salve and the empty bowl with him. You plead at him to come back, demand it with every fiber in your body.

“Keigo! Keigo, please! No, don’t leave me!”

The door clicks shut, and you scream at the top of your lungs shrilly. Keigo can hear you as he walks down the stairs and into the kitchen, placing the bowl in the sink and the salve on the counter.

He rests his lower back against the heat of the dishwasher as he shakes his head, listening to you.

It’s for your own good, he has to remind himself. He’s only doing this to help you realize where your home is, help you learn who you belong with. He wouldn’t be doing this for you if he didn’t care, and he loves you so damn much that he couldn’t just stand by and let you run away.

No, you’ll learn where your place is soon enough, and you’ll be happy. You’ll be so happy once you’ve learned. He’ll wait for you, however long it takes. He’ll wait because that’s how much he loves his little bird.

Happy 4th Anniversary to Glitch Techs!

As a little gift to the fandom, here's a free crochet pattern so you can make your own Chomp Kitty plushie!!

Materials used:

-----------------

•4mm crochet hook (any will do, 4mm was the only size I had. KEEP IN MIND that hook size plays a role in determining the size of your plushie)

•Vibrant green wool/yarn (I got a 100g ball from Woolcraft, but I don't know the exact colour name.)

•Purple wool/yarn (Same as above) *

•Baby blue wool/yarn (Brand unknown)

•White wool/yarn (Brand unknown) *

•Black wool/yarn (Brand unknown) *

•Darning needle

*If you want to do less crocheting, you can use felt instead!! Just skip the parts where you crochet the stripes (purple), the teeth (white), the eyes (white and black) and the whiskers (black)

Note: Try your best to keep the thickness of your wool/yarn consistent. Having chunky wool in one part and then thin wool in a later part can look a bit weird sometimes. ALSO!! MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH WOOL. That being said, a ball of each colour should be plenty! :D

If you want to make Horn, just swap out the colours! :D

Pattern Key:

--------------

•MC = Magic Circle (A technique used for starting pieces)

•Sc = Single Crochet (A single stitch)

•Inc = Increase (Two stitches into one)

•Dec = Decrease (Crochet two together. Use invisible decrease for better, more uniform result)

•2(sc, inc) (This is an example of format. This means that you single and then increase twice)

If you don't know how to do these, I suggest looking up a tutorial on YouTube!

Alright, with all of that out of the way, here's the pattern:

Legs (Make 4)

----------------

The legs are done in green.

R1: Magic Circle - 6 (6)

R2: Inc 6 (12)

R3: 4(2sc, inc) (16)

R4-6: 16sc (48)

R7: 2(6sc, dec) (14)

R8: 14sc (14)

R9: 2(5sc, dec) (12)

R10-12: (12) (36)

R13: dec, 10sc (11)

R14-16: 11sc (33)

Stuff the legs firmly, especially at the paws, so they keep their shape properly. If you have beans, you can put them in the paws to weight them!

Body (Sorry but the rounds are really messy here in terms of formatting, apologies for any pattern mistakes)

------

Start with baby blue

R1: Chain 5 (5)

R2: sc into current stitch, 4sc, inc (7)

Rotate piece. Into the other side of the chain: 4sc, 3inc, 3sc, 3inc (19)

R3: sc, 2inc, 3(sc, inc), sc, 2inc, 2(sc, inc) (25)

R4: 3sc, 3(inc, 2sc), 6sc, 3(inc, 2sc), inc (35)

R5: 11(2sc, inc) (44)

R6: 14sc, 3(dec, 2sc), 5sc, 3(dec, 2sc) (37)

R7: 2[inc, 2sc, inc, 3(sc, inc), 2sc, inc, 6sc] (50)

R8: 52sc (52)

We will now crochet rounds around the outside of the leg, skipping the stitches on the inside (the ones that are attached to the body). Still crochet into the "corners"

Switch to green

We're going to attach the legs this round, without sewing. Push the hook through the next stitch, and then into one of the stitches of one of the legs. Pull the green through and sc.

R9: another 3 sc, same as before, go through the body and the leg. 8sc, Attach another leg by crocheting 4sc into the body and the next next leg, 10sc, another leg with 4sc, 8sc, another leg with 4sc, 10sc

R10: 3sc, 2dec, 14sc, 2dec, 16sc, 2dec, 14sc, 2dec, 16sc

R11: Full round of sc (When I said messy, this is what I meant lmao, I didn't count the stitches in each round for the body so I'm doing it in post and it might be wrong, my bad y'all)

Unfortunately, the next round might be hard to follow because I got lazy with my notes.

Sorry </3

R12: Another round of sc BUT in each leg "corner" (the first and last stitch that joins the leg to the body), dc. There should be 8dc total

R13: sc around the leg, sc, dec, 2sc, dec, sc, sc around the leg, sc until next leg, sc around leg, sc, dec, 2sc, dec, sc, sc to finish round

R14: 2[dec, 4(2sc, dec)]

R14: 2(3sc, dec), 3sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 14sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 10sc

R15-16: all sc

R17: sc, dec, 2(4sc, dec), 5sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 5sc

R18: 3(dec, sc), 9sc, 3(dec, sc), 5sc

R19: all sc

Start stuffing if you haven't already. Stuff after each round after this if needed. Firmly stuffing keeps the pose better but less firm means more cuddly. Your choice!

R20: 2dec, sc, 2dec, 5sc, 2dec, sc, 2dec, 3sc

R21: 4dec, 2sc, 4dec, 2sc, 6dec

Leave a generous tail to sew up the body. Use the darning needle to sew, then snip the excess and hide the rest by either pushing it into the body with the hook or using the needle to pull it through the side.

Head

------

Start with baby blue. The Dark Ages are over and I started writing down the pattern properly again lol. (Sorry once again for the nightmare of the body)

R1: MC - 6 (6)

R2: Inc 6 (12)

R3: 6(sc, inc) (18)

R4: sc, inc, 5(2sc, inc), sc (24)

R5: 6(3sc, inc) (30)

R6: 2sc, inc, 5(4sc, inc), 2sc (36)

R7: 6(5sc, inc) (42)

R8: 3sc, inc, 5(6sc, inc), 3sc (48)

R9: 6(7sc, inc) (54)

R10: 4sc, inc, 5(8sc, inc), 4sc (60)

R11: 6(9sc, inc) (66)

R12: 5sc, inc, 5(10sc, inc), 5sc (72)

R13-25 (13 rows): 72sc (936) Good luck, soldier. Switch to green at row 14.

R26: 5sc, dec, 5(10sc, dec), 5sc (66)

R27: 6(9sc, dec) (60)

R28: 4sc, dec, 5(8sc, dec) 4sc (54)

R29: 6(7sc, dec) (48)

Hi my loves! Thank you for reading my fic! Thank you for all your love, support and feedback! You all mean the world to me 🥹 Today is the big DOUBLE POST DAY! I decided to double post for my biggest supporter's birthday 🥹. Happy Birthday Sis! 🥰 Everyone enjoy the story and happy reading! I love you all 💕

A/n: This is a little flashback to Leia's first days of life 🥹 enjoy!

Word Count: 2.1k

Warnings: Cursing, but a whole lotta love ! (If I missed any please let me know!)

y/n/n: your nick name

Please don't take my work, I will find you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You woke up to the sound of your alarm blaring. You sat up slowly and stretched. You reached for your phone on the floor and turned off the alarm. Everyone started to wake up. Austin looked at you and gave you a gentle squeeze and pushed some hair from your face. You smiled at him as he smiled down at you.

Austin: “Good Morning, Cupcake.” He kissed your forehead.

You blushed and cocked your head, “cupcake?” And you started to giggle. “Good morning. How did you sleep?” You were sitting up and had your hand rested on his chest.

He put his hand over yours and traced his thumb over your knuckles, “I slept great with you next to me. It was very comforting.”

Bri: “That was beyond adorable.” She sat up nudging Billy to get up.

Billy: “Hey, what the hell?” He sat up quickly.

Austin looked over embarrassed and then looked back to you, “We should probably head out before the Princess gets up.” He looked over at Billy.

Billy: “Yea, we should definitely go before baby girl wakes up and sees her mommy with a strange man.” He laughed.

Bri hit him and he stopped. “Sorry.”

The two of you walked them over to the door. Their hands full with their costumes. You kissed Austin on the cheek and he was off.

Bri: “Did you even get his number?” she looked at you upset.

Y/n: “No, but he knows where to find me.” You winked at her.

Bri: “Oh wow! I like this y/n! So assertive, the come and get me if you want me.” She pushed you playfully.

You started to clean up the couches where you all were sleeping and then you started to make breakfast for the three of you before Leia woke up.

It was around 8 AM when you finished making breakfast. A very sleepy Leia stumbled into the kitchen rubbing her eyes. She was still in her costume. “Oh crap.”

Leia sat at the counter and then she looked down, “oh I need to go shower, momma. I’m still in my costume.” She giggled and stumbled towards the bathroom.

I knew I forgot to do something last night. God, she is going to have sand all over her bed. You thought to yourself.

Bri came out in her work clothes to have some breakfast. She ate and then she was off to work. Leia finally came out from cleaning up and sat with you at the counter. You fixed her plate of eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns. Then a plate on the side with a waffle and some fruit. As she ate you started to clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes. As you washed the dishes you just looked at your little Lei as she played with her little R2-D2 and BB-8 that Billy and Austin had bought for her. She was even making the little noises. You looked at her in awe, the flashbacks of the day she was born went through your head. The best day of your life.

You were sitting on the couch laying down and watching movies with Bri and Billy when you started to feel what felt like period cramps x10. They weren’t bad, but very uncomfortable. You didn’t think anything of it, you weren’t due for another 3 weeks. You’ve felt this before and begged Bri to rush you to the hospital only for it to just be your uterus being mangled around by your baby. So you laid there and continued watching the movie. The pain was occurring every other hour but it was like that before too. After about 4 hours of watching movies, the feeling intensified and were coming in shorter intervals. You shot up from the couch and Bri looked over at you concerned.

“You okay, girl?” She was now sitting up.

Billy: “Do you need help to the restroom again, y/n?” He said grabbing your hand and wrapping his arm around your waist.

He started to bring you over to the bathroom and you felt it. Your water broke and it ran down your leg and you and Billy were now standing in a puddle of your fluid.

Billy: “Holy shit y/n/n! Did you just piss yourself!?” He said still holding onto you but also trying to tiptoe out of the puddle.

You looked at the floor stunned. You didn’t move you just stood still. Billy went from supporting you from the side to standing in front of you and holding your arms. You felt weak. Was this finally it? Was your baby coming? Were you even ready?

Bri: “Y/n Are you okay?” She was now standing up. She walked over to you and held her hand on your lower back.

You were frozen. Not knowing what to do. “I think my water just broke.”

Everything went into slow motion. You looked at the two of them and they looked at each other. They looked terrified, yet you were the one that was going to be the one pushing the baby out. Immediately after you said your water broke, Billy and Bri were running around the house trying to get everything for the hospital. Billy was grabbing and preparing the baby bag. You all thought you still had time so nothing was ready. Billy grabbed the baby bag and started to put stuff into it.

Billy: “Okay diapers, blanket, paci, baby hat, a teddy bear, outfit…. Shit! What is she going to wear home?” He looked around the baby’s nursery and spotted an outfit laid neatly in the crib. “PERFECT!” He grabbed the little pink onesie that had little flowers and ducks printed all over and shoved it into the bag. He placed the bag by the door.

He looked over and you were still standing there stunned in your fluids. “Y/n/n, Would you like me to take you to the restroom to like sit on the toilet so you're not leaking your baby juice everywhere?” His breath was baited.

You stuck your hand out to him and Bri came over, “Shut up, Billy! Just get everything please, I will help y/n!”

He threw his hands up and continued to get the bags ready. He grabbed his bag and threw 2 days worth of clothes for him and Bri, toothbrushes, deodorants and toothpaste. For your bag he packed some of your pads from the freezer that you and Bri had made, your belly wrap, 2 pairs of comfy clothes, toothbrush, camera, chargers, deodorant, and some shower supplies. After getting the bags ready he scooped them all up and brought them into your Jeep. Next was the carseat.

Billy ran into the garage and tore the box apart that the carseat was in. He took all the parts and instructions and went to your car. He started to install the carseat, following the instructions, “Okay, anchor the base, got it.” He threaded the seat belt through the belt path and buckled it. He shook it around a little to make sure it was sturdy. “We don’t need baby girl getting thrown around back here.” He locked the seat belt.

He continued to read the instructions, “Make sure the incline of the carseat is at the right recline angle… what?” He tried over and over again to put the seat into the base. There were different reclining levels. “How the fuck do you do this shit?” He said out of pure panic trying to get the baby’s carseat into your car. “SHIT! What the hell! Are these instructions even English!? WHAT RECLINE SETTING IS FOR NEWBORN BABIES?” He kept trying each of the reclining levels, “FUCK THIS. SHE AIN’T COMING HOME RIGHT NOW.” He threw the car seat into the back seat and left it.

Bri was helping you change into some new clothes and then she went to go clean up the fluids on the floor from you. You just sat on your bed patiently rubbing your belly. This was the calm before the storm. You were so nervous to give birth, but for a moment you felt at ease. As if you were on a cloud.

You to your baby: “Alright baby, it's me and you now. Momma is finally gonna get to see you. I can’t wait to meet you. I love you so much already, baby. You are already loved so much by me, your Auntie Bri and your Uncle Billy. You are our little princess baby. I can’t wait to spoil you, forever.”

Bri came and knocked on the door way and smiling. “You ready for this?”

You looked up and pressed your lips together and smiled “As ready as I’ll ever be.” You started to stand and she came in and took your hand.

2 hours later and you had your precious little Leia Rey in your arms. You cried when you looked at her. She was perfect. She already had a big smile on her face when she was first put into your arms. Bri was laid over the rail of the bed and looked at her niece in awe with tears in her eyes. Billy doing the same with her. She had her little hand wrapped around his finger. All you wanted to do was smother her with everything you had. Everyone was right, you don’t know what true love is until you hold your baby in your arms. You just kept giving her kisses and smelling her baby breath. When Bri and Billy were asleep you had a small private moment with your little love.

You to your daughter: “My little Leia Rey, I’ve waited so long to meet you. I was so scared, but now that you’re here I’m terrified. But I promise I will always put you first, protect you, love you and care for you as long as I live. You are my everything and all. You are my heart outside my body. My mini me, my little babe. I love you so much already. I can’t wait to see you grow up and flourish. I promise to always chose and do what is best for you. I will do anything for you forever. It’s you and me now baby girl. You and me, forever.” She opened her eyes slightly and looked up at you. You saw her little green eyes for the first time and you held her close and cried. “I already know you are going to use those against me.” You laughed slightly as you cried. You brought her close to you and kissed her nose, “I love you, Leia Rey. Forever.”

Present

You smiled remembering the day she was born. Watching her grow into who she is now. The loving, happy, energetic, independent, smart little girl she has become. She’s perfect. You were snapped out of your memory when your phone buzzed. A text from Penny.

P: I will be over around 1130 if that’s okay? :)

Y: That’s perfect! See you soon! ;)

You turned off the water to the sink. “Sweetheart, Penny is going to come over in a little bit. Why don’t you go change and I’ll do your hair?”

Leia: “Okay momma!” She gave you her plate, grabbed her toys and went to her room to change.

You finished cleaning up the dishes and went to go do Leia’s hair. After you went to your room to clean up before Penny came over. After you showered and brushed your teeth, you threw on a Hard Deck over sized t-shirt and some high waisted loose fitted mom jeans with a belt. Before you knew it, there was a knock at your door. You opened it to see Penny standing with gifts. Leia came running to greet Penny.

Penny leaned into your hug, “You looked really cute with that shirt, y/n.” She gave you a wink and chuckled.

You looked down at your Hard Deck shirt and threw your head back, “Well, I wanted to show my support for your bar.” You laughed.

Penny sat down the gifts on the floor of the living area near the couches. You both sat and watched as Leia opened her gifts. You and Penny had small conversation while Leia ripped her gifts open.

Penny leaned over to you. “I’m off the day after tomorrow why don’t you, Bri and Leia come to the beach to hang out? Have a day to relax after a well thrown party?” She smiled at you.

You nodded and called over to Leia, “Baby, do you want to go to the beach in a couple of days to hang out with Penny?”

Her eyes widened, “YES MOMMA!”

Little Peter Parker hc’s!!

General:

•He either regresses to 0-3 or 4-6

•His caregivers are Tony,Ned and aunt May

•But he also has other people that take care of him a lot when he’s small,like Mj,Happy,Steve & Wanda

•Pretty much all of the avengers will not hesitate to take care of him tho

•His favorite stuffie is a monkey and he carries it with him absolutely everywhere

•The only people that know about him being a regressor are in his closer inner circle.It’s something he likes to keep private

•Before he told anyone about him being little,he used to absolutely neglect his sleep for it.At night he’d already be outside spidey-ing,and instead of napping in the afternoon he’d use it as his little time and watch cartoons and play

•But he told people and they helped him get a healthy schedule for it

When he’s 0-3:

•Absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs.

•The Land Before Time is his absolute favorite movie

•He’s fussy with food a lot.He drinks up bottles and eats food he’s familiar with without making much of a mess and behaving really good,but the second someone tries to feed him something he doesn’t know,he will be a mess.He closes his mouth shut,cries,and if he keeps being pressured he’ll throw a whole tantrum.It could even be food he already knows just in a different shape,nope,nuh-uh,he’s not eating that (in the end he’ll think it’s yummy and eat even more off his cg’s plate)

•Sometimes sleeping is very difficult for him.He needs lots of reassurance,kisses,cuddles,a warm bottle,a nightlight,a bedtime story or lullaby and his stuffie

•He also gets lots of bad dreams,so often less than half the night is spent in his own bed and the most of it in his cg’s

•He’s a curious baby,whenever something happens he’s gotta be there and see

•Sometimes walking can be a little hard for him,but he crawls absolutely everywhere (luckily he doesn’t know how to use his spidey powers when he’s that young…)

•He loves the ocean sooo much,so aquarium trips are a must!!

•Playground trips are always great too,that boy could play in the sand for hours in pouring rain and he’d still be all smiles

•Wherever he goes,his stuffie Monkey has to come with.It’s not a want,it’s a need.If it doesn’t come,he doesn’t either

•Loves Bluey!!His favorite episodes are “Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound” and “Sleepytime” (Seriously tho,Sleepytime is the best episode)

When he’s 4-6:

•He’s a very creative kid,give him some legos and he’ll build an entire castle

•He likes to color!!Especially with crayons

•Still obsessed with dinosaurs.Although with this age range,he prefers to watch the jurassic park/world movies over the land before time

•Loves loves loves superheroes so much!He has an iron man Halloween costume that he wears like every day

•He’s a good kid,he doesn’t break rules…but he does like to push them a bit (a lot)

•Will randomly drop fun facts all the time,like “Did you know that Australia is wider than the moon?”

• And how could I forget,he is OBSESSED with Star Wars (Me too,Petey,me too)

•Has multiple lightsabers (thanks to Tony,these things are so expensive),his room is full of Star Wars posters,he has a massive R2-D2 pillow,and on Halloween he likes to dress up as Chewbacca

•Will also reference Star Wars at any chance he gets.Does anyone (but Ned) get it?No.Will he still continue?Absolutely

•Also,MOVIE NIGHTS.Like,every movie night it’s a decision between dinosaur movies and Star Wars,and believe me when I say that is a very hard decision.Sometimes he’ll just sit in front of two dvds for half an hour just to decide which one to watch

•Discovered that he can stick to things.Luckily he doesn’t know about the webs,but every now and then his cg will just hear giggling above them and when they look up he’ll just be chilling on the ceiling

I have so many more oh my god

5 reasons why Kagino doesn't work (and 3 reasons why Kalulu does)

I was planning to prepare the small analysis of the final scene of the last episode of the first season, but, given the latest events that have occurred on my other Code Geass page, I decided to postpone it and work on a publication that I had planned for the future: explaining why Kagino is the most forced ship in Code Geass, besides Lelouch and CC in the infamous movie Lelouch of the Aberration (you will know it as Lelouch of the Resurrection). Also why Kagino is one of the worst ships in Code Geass. Please note that I use the term ship because this is a fandom pairing. Gino was never a love interest for Kallen and vice versa, according to official material (including the series).

1.It's a forced ship. This ship was invented by the Newtype magazine, which was ProCluClu, after they tried to do the same with Xingke and the ship had no support. What is the need to promote this ship? Kallen was becoming too close to Lelouch for the liking of CluClu fans, so it had to get her rival out of the way, and what better way for her heart to have an owner other than Lelouch? Actually, there could be other ways, but even the CluClu shippers saw the chemistry and sexual tension between Lelouch and Kallen. She was a threat, from their point of view. I have emphasized this because ""coincidentally"" the CluClu shippers are the only ones who pair Kallen with Gino (yes, I'm seeing that they are realizing that they are losing credibility due to their bias, so they are trying to hide what they are pretending they are Shirlulu or Kalulu shippers; they clearly don't understand what they are doing wrong, right?). The other 0.0002% are people who ship them because they believe that CluClu is canon and Kallen is alone and deserves someone to take care of her heart, but, as Miley Cyrus said in her powerful song, Kallen can buy herself flowers, ask herself to dance, telling herself things that only she understands, holding her own hand and loving herself and being happy.

Kallen is a romantic interest of Lelouch. You can see their relationship develop and take on a romantic nature as the episodes go by in R2. There is a narrative construction. Unfortunately, I won't be able to track their relationship here since that requires a separate analysis.

2. The "other reasons" that accompany this ship are superficial. The ship background that I expressed above is the real reason. There are no other compelling reasons to pair Kallen and Gino apart from the fact that they are both handsome, the same age, they exchanged a few words, and they are Knightmares pilots. Still, for CluClu shippers, those reasons are enough to prove that they are "soulmates." It's complete nonsense. You have work colleagues or study partners and your mother or your friends or your teacher or your boss aren't matching you with any of them, right? Furthermore, Suzaku also meets these requirements and no one is pairing him with Kallen (for the record, I find this ship interesting; but I don't think it works in the context of the series either).

My point is that just because two people are contemporary, attractive and (more or less) doing the same job doesn't mean that they are each other's ideal partner or that love will arise between them. Love is a spontaneous and free thing, which brings me to my next point…

3. Gino and Kallen have no romantic attraction for each other or sexual tension. The biggest "evidence" there is in favor of this ship and surely what started this nonsense was a comment Gino makes in episode 9. But, far from demonstrating a romantic interest or sexual attraction for Kallen, it shows that the fandom has problems of reading comprehension. Let's see, read the comment: "Anya: This is the ace of the Black Knights. The pilot of the Guren. Gino: Yes, the one from before. She is much prettier than the wanted poster of her. "That's my kind of woman!" What does this tell us? 1. That Gino recognizes that Kallen is pretty. 2. That the type of women Gino is attracted to are pretty. There is a big difference between "I like women like you" and "I like you." Just because you appreciate a person's beauty doesn't automatically mean that you like him, that is orthodox and childish thinking (this makes me think of men with fragile masculinity who refuse to admit that another man seems handsome to them because they think they would look like homosexuals and they have been made to believe that masculinity and homosexuality don't go together). Even more important is Kallen's reaction, when he makes the comment: she just turns away. She doesn't smile or blush. Zero interest.

This is very different from what happens between Lelouch and Kallen. She does react to Lelouch's comments, no matter how minor they may be. Like this double entender in episode 5. "Kallen: Are you talking like Zero or Lelouch right now? Lelouch: It's not like everyone knows about our relationship, right? Kallen * blushes *: Stop saying weird things like that, okay?"

Just a few days ago I read a phrase on Twitter (or X) that said that the moment preceding the kiss was even more valuable than the kiss itself. That's where you find the so-called sexual tension and Lelouch and Kallen had two moments like that. Three, if you want to tell the dialogue that preceded the kiss in episode 22. I will go into more detail about the kiss and the two almost kisses of Lelouch and Kallen the day I'm going to talk about those things from theory. In fact, I don't want to stop to examine the romantic relationship between Lelouch and Kallen like I said.

Gino and Kallen never flirted or had intimate moments. At most, they only poked each other in the last Picture Drama, but it was a display of friendly rivalry. No other thing. Pretending that that never happened, there is one moment in particular that I want us to review, as I consider it crucial to explain why this ship doesn't work:

4. Gino didn't accept Kallen because of who she is. At some point in episode 17, Gino is looking for Suzaku and went to visit Kallen in her cell believing he was there. Instead of leaving, he shows her the photo album he was originally going to show Suzaku and they start talking about him (did I tell you that it makes more sense that Gino would be more romantically interested in Suzaku than in Kallen? I'll tell you again, so). The conversation changes and Gino starts talking about Kallen.

"Gino: I understand that you are half Britannian and half Japanese, right? If you chose the name Stadtfeld instead of Kouzuki, you could have a good life, right? Even become one of the Knights of the Round if you have such ambitions. Kallen: Is this going anywhere? Gino: What I mean is, wouldn't you like to come back to us, Kallen?" What is wrong here? That Gino doesn't understand nor is interested in understanding why Kallen chose to embrace the cause of the Japanese and the Black Knights. Instead, Gino brazenly advises her to abandon everything and join them since life is much more comfortable fighting on Britannia's side (this is the kind of flippant comment that comes from the mouth of a person who is in a position of privilege, if you ask me).

Gino doesn't realize that Kallen's motivations for fighting are tied to her principles and ideals. Therefore, this is like asking Kallen to give up who she is: an ally of justice, a patriotic woman, and a defender of freedom. This reflects a clear disinterest on Gino's part and this is a problem because you can't love someone without knowing them and accepting them for who they are.

This is in stark contrast to Lelouch. While Gino asks Kallen to turn her back on her beliefs, her values, and the people she cares about (the Japanese and her family), Lelouch prefers to push Kallen away from him rather than force her to give up her principles and her life for him because, for Lelouch, Kallen's well-being and integrity are much more important than being together. This is the true definition of love.

5. Gino and Kallen don't share principles. A couple doesn't have to be two conjoined twins. They may have different tastes, ways of thinking, preferences, interests, hobbies… If they truly love each other, they will learn to adapt to each other because one doesn't really change who they are for another person. But a couple needs to have, at least, the same values, ideals and life plans (I would add, also certain beliefs). Otherwise, it will be difficult for this relationship to prosper.

Gino is a Knight of the Round and has been an active collaborator in the conquest and colonization of independent nations. He clearly agrees with Britannia's expansionist policy. He has no problem with imperialism or colonialism. Kallen, on the other hand, belongs to the largest insurgent group fighting against Britannia and fighting in the name of freedom, justice and equality. She detests colonialism and imperialism due to her own experience, so she disagrees with expansionism. These discrepancies would prevent Gino and Kallen from having anything (that is, they wouldn't even have been friends).

Only Gino showed some empathy with Kallen, when Lelouch killed the Emperor and usurped the throne, claiming that he finally understood what it feels like to have another come to take power illegitimately and arbitrarily. However, a coup d'état is not the same as colonialism and, of course, this doesn't mean that Gino will change his principles. Only he's going to have a just reason to fight (finally). It would have been better if Gino had apologized to Kallen, but that was an act that required a great deal of effort.

Lelouch, for his part, is a rebel at heart like Kallen. He may have lied about many things, but he genuinely believes in the ideals that he has preached as Zero and Kallen welcomed them as her own because they fit her values, which are no different from Lelouch's. It's not a coincidence. There is a small parallel between the dramatic situation of the Japanese and that of Lelouch and Nunnally. They were all dispossessed of what they had, including their identity, and forced to live as strangers in their land. Therefore, Lelouch and Kallen are more compatible. Even if they hadn't met in Shijunku, sooner or later their paths would cross over their hatred of Britannia, their contempt for the empire's Social Darwinist ideology, and their desire to change the world (well, this desire would germinate in Kallen once she met to Lelouch who, in turn, would obtain it as soon as he received the Geass).

The same can be said about Lelouch's other ships, by the way. Shirley wants to be a loving wife and have a happy family, CC wants to die (at the end of the series, she is focused on living every small moment of her life to the fullest just like Jamie Foxx's character in Soul) and Suzaku wants to change.the system from within. I won't enter the swampy terrain of reviewing the ideals and values of these characters. It's not my goal.

In conclusion, Gino and Kallen don't stick with glue or tape. Lelouch is emerging as a more worthy suitor, despite everything. And, therefore, Karen-chan only has eyes for him. Kalulu is better.

PS: of course, a fanfic could correct all of these things. But I don't think it even exists and I'm focusing only on the series, too.

Code Geass Ending 3 Short analysis + some facts

Orange Range wrote this ending, as well as the 1st opening of R2, for Code Geass, so they were written with Lelouch in mind; This ending is from Lelouch's point of view and the whole setting the director made with the lyrics and pictures is clearly not hazardous :

Since the Lyrics on the video are in French I'll translate those right below in english with the picture they are tied with :

Lelouch // I'll try to gather the shreds of happiness I once had collected in my chest

(Lelouch moving on while still trying to remember everything good that happened while he walks the path of carnage, the chain begins around his hand, he has a dark wing)

Nunnally and Rollo // The melody i have almost forgotten has not lost any of it's colors in my heart

(Refers to the mind wipe which led him to forget about Nunnally, Nunnally isn't surrounded by his chains cause he has no hold on her in R2, instead Rolo is trapped and his alliegance are changing, with his angel wing (Britannia) disappearing while the black wing (alliegance to Lelouch) is coming out)

Euphemia and Cornelia // Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, it's thanks to everyone that i am who i am today

(A thank you for his memories and the good time he spent with his sisters, despite everything Lelouch still holds dear his childhood in Britannia, and we know he loved Euphie deeply; the chain has no hold on Cornelia and surrounds her sword (because she is his enemy) and Euphie is totally free of it since she is dead :() They have angel wings (Britannian ones)

Gino and Anya BUT Taniguchi said (in his crossed interview with Clamp in the Mutuality artbook) it first was meant to be Shirley's spot (the picture of her in the 4th ending was meant for this one but was moved because it spoiled her death, so this line was meant to be tied to her) // Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, next time it will be my turn to bring you happiness When you know it was meant to be Shirley, you know that you understand he is promising Shirley he'll make her happy someday (a reference to the reincarnation thematic which fits Shirley) of course, Shirley is dead so no chains, she is just flying away :'(

V.V. and Charles // I will never forget any of this, because i still am the one i was that day

(This is a message to the emperor and his memory rewriting geass, since he changed Lelouch and rewrote his memories, Lelouch assures him he didn't changed and he still remembers; The chains surrounds both V.V. and Charles but have no hold on them, they have the angel wings of britannia )

Kallen // I 've got to keep saying I love you all the time

(this one is all about his feelings for Kallen being hidden/unknown during the anime and her having no means to know, it's a wish from him to be able to tell her what he feels; Kallen has the black wings of the black knights and Lelouch's chain is tied to her neck, a strong symbol of his hold on her, but she still manages to keep a hold of the chain, implying she still maintains her control (making sense with the end of the anime; she also holds a vest really similar to one of Lelouch's, but longer)

Suzaku // When you cry, you can run away as long as you come back

(This is a message of friendship from Lelouch who still feels for Suzaku no matter what, he'll be his friend and will always care for him, as we can see at the end of the anime. Suzaku has the white wings of britannia but Lelouch's chains fully ties his hands, stopping him from having any real impact on his fate, maybe a reference to his live on geass)

C.C.// Follow those tracks to not forget about this day.

(This is a clear reference to C.C. and her forgotten memories, lost within the flow of time, to retrace her steps can also lead her to her lost humanity, as she managed to get back the will to live at the end of the show, as her various profile said)

Don't forget his is an ANALYSIS, the only canon thing are that ; Orange Range wrote this for Code Geass, so coming from Lelouch, Shirley's picture was meant to be there instead of Gino and Anya, and the fact that the director made the full arrangement for the ending.

It doesn't prove anything, it's just something nice to analyze cause it actually matches and analyzing can be fun, but it doesn't make it a fact.

Anyway I love this ending and it fits Lelouch so much i's always a pleasure (Once again it fits the original canon anime, of S1 and R2, not the Alternate universe movie version since everything changed there, it's a different canon.)
