That Which They Defend by ScribeofArda
Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
20 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
"Then have a think about my question." Maedhros returns his hand to his shoulder. "Why am I the general of our forces? Why do I make sure we can fight?"
Ereinion stares at the floor for a few moments. "Because…because if something were to go wrong, we would be ready," he says eventually. "So we can defend ourselves." He looks up at Maedhros. "Right?"
Maedhros skims his knuckles over his cheeks. "Correct. I learned to fight so I could defend the people I love. Sometimes that meant taking the fight to the enemy before they brought it to us, but it was always for Atto, and your uncles, and all these people around us." He tweaks Ereinion's nose again, delighting in his son's affronted squawk. "And now you. This is your first lesson."
Ereinion looks at him from between hands sheltering his nose from further harm. "What is?"
Maedhros holds out the small, blunted blade, balanced across one palm and one wrist. "Always, always, know why you're picking up a weapon to fight. If you don't know, then don't do it."

Summary
This is a bunch of one shots set in my au, following on from the events in He Who Sheds His Blood With Me. I just wanted to show all those little behind the scenes moments of how the Alliance and Death Squadron could possibly learn to work together. And those problems pale in comparison to the Skywalkers working out their problems. :) Admittedly, Piett is my favorite, so he'll feature.
Also, the Lady Ex has her own opinions as well. Just a heads up.I'm very happy to hear any prompt ideas from you. :)

Summary
Lord Vader finds himself curious about the teenage junior Senator from Alderaan. Tarkin hates her, she's terrifically irritating, so naturally something that used to be Anakin Skywalker finds himself drawn to her.
But there is more to her than her appearance suggests so he sends Firmus Piett to investigate just how the Organas acquired this child.
And so he discovers his daughter before his son, and we see how that changes life in the Star Wars galaxy.Series

Summary
Darth Vader is a dramatic asshole that would do anything for his family. It leads to situations like this:
“Listen to the medics Max,” Piett says, putting a hand on the General’s shoulder to keep him on the bed.
“Or what, you karking hypocrite?”
“I’ll tell my cousin that you expressed romantic interest in Madine but were unsure about how to approach him.”
Veers goes very still under his hand. “No need to be hasty, Firmus,” he says. “I’ll listen. Be a model of cooperation even.”

He Who Sheds His Blood With Me by Wishfulthinking1979
Fandoms: Star Wars Original Trilogy
16 Apr 2020
Tags
Summary
We are firmly in AU land here. I would love to give credit to fantastic works Allegiance, Libero Per Fidem, Welcome to the Club, and the glorious talent in Abundance of Faith, for creating an alternate view of Vader, Piett, Luke, et al. Thanks for making such a great sandbox to play in.
After Bespin, Vader is dealing with regret and the the realization that he does not want his son to turn as he did. Thus, Palpatine must be destroyed. Piett is complicit in this plan and helped to get Luke away from Bespin in this head canon. Luke harbors respect and admiration for the diminutive admiral. Veers doesn't know all the details but as the best friend and brother in arms, will go where Piett directs. And Piett will go where Vader leads. But this is Sidious we're dealing with and his plans have plans......

A Quadrillion Ways To Die On The Outer Rim by Galaxacious
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
24 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Somehow, Palpatine has died.
This does not make the galaxy any safer for our favourite heroes and villains. Darth Vader still hunts for his son with a single-minded obsession. The Imperial Armed Forces, now split and collapsing under the weight of a civil war, seek to ruthlessly gain control over their selected territories.
And Death Squadron, lead under Admiral Piett’s impeccable command, is forced to the edge of the galaxy under the strain. With no reinforcements, no resources, and no long term hope of survival, they are forced to beg the Rebellion for aid.
Not that the Rebellion of all organisations can be the ally Death Squadron desperately needs… can they?

Summary
For all that he actually met Lúthien, once, Tyelkormo has never quite understood the songs exalting her. She was brave and stunning and powerful, yes, but to claim that she once sang Mandos himself into submission?
But then, following the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Tyelkormo gains an unexpected understanding of how one might come to regard another so highly that they would sing such songs of them.

Summary
“Excuse me, you what?”
“I want you to take Regulus out on a date,” Sirius repeats casually as if he hasn’t just said the most absurd thing ever, watching the Snitch that had escaped James’ hand the second Sirius had made the ridiculous request the first time.
James stares at his best friend in disbelief, because what?
“Look, if you go on a date with Regulus, I can go out on my Moony date. My parents will realise that their stupid idea of cursing me with only getting to date once Regulus does didn’t work out because look at that, Regulus also dates! They reverse the magic, Regulus can happily go back to refusing to date anyone, I can go back happily dating Remus, and you can happily go back doing whatever you had planned to do this summer. Quidditch, I assume.”

Summary
Regulus Black knows what his future holds. He will be a good son, a good Pureblood, and a good Slytherin. He will not stray from the path set out for him since birth.
The trouble begins with a bar of Fry’s Turkish Delight—or maybe it begins with a Charms competition, a stick-and-poke in the Prefects’ bathroom, and a Hufflepuff with strange magic.
Or: Pandora Lovegood was born Pandora Trelawney. When her inconvenient magical gift puts her squarely in Regulus Black's path, an unlikely friendship blossoms. The consequences echo past their final year at Hogwarts, follow them to opposite sides of the battlefield, and change the course of the First Wizarding War for the better.

Summary
Four-year-old Luna has been able to see lights her whole life- and when both of her parents die in an explosive magical accident, she decides to grab on to one of the lights and follow it.
Meanwhile, Regulus Black has never really thought of himself as the parental sort- he's hardly interacted with a child in his life, much less raised one. But when two magically inexplicable orphans show up and somehow resurrect him- well, what else was he supposed to do? Not immediately adopt them? Yeah, right.
(Features little Luna and Harry adopting each other as siblings and Regulus being in way, way over his head)

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.
