Presenting an A Strange Kind of Love visual epilogue by @human-rocket 😍

I had such a hard time upon the completion of this fic; I wanted to keep going! But I didn’t have much else to say other than, “And then, they cuddled some more.” I guess I needed to see it. This beautiful illustration truly provides me with a sense of closure 🕊️

So delulu part of me naively believes that if Ferus had stayed in the Order until the RotS events, he'd have noticed that Anakin hadn't eaten or slept for a week and was on the verge of a psychotic episode, and Ferus would have pestered everyone about it.

and like yeah obikin fan art is eyegasm (the artists are insane) - I don't like obikin :(( .

|| The meditation interrupted by curious Anakin. Isn't it interesting to look at Ferus's calm face slightly from above? There certainly is something more intriguing than the meditation itself. ||

Anyway, Ferus is actually taller. Not that much, it's Anakin who's a sloucher.

“reckoning”

"What about Senator Amidala?" he asked, leaping away from Vader. He faced him, his lightsaber held in an offensive position. "What about Padme? What happened on Mustafar?"

He felt the quake in Vader. He had reached him at last.

"Do not mention her name!"

"I thought it was a lie, that the Jedi killed her," Ferus suddenly understood, the Sith Holocron burning under his tunic. "it wasn't. You killed her, didn't you? You killed the woman you loved."

Vader's wrath filled the room. Ferus could feel it. Instead of turning away from it, he took it. He filled himself with it.

This is what the Emperor meant. This is the last step.

He flew across the room and this time he landed a blow.

a commission inspired by the TLOTJ series (artist: 珊小狼DSS）， also a tribute to El Lissitzky’s iconic Civil War poster 'Beat the Whites With the Red Wedge' (1920). Clear.Neat.Also no room for compromise in this battle, since their very existence is a denial of the other's way of existence at this decisive moment.

used some thistle elements to represent *rightful revenge* and "determination to protect" here
