Vader: MIA


Vader is missing in action. It's up to Luke to find him. Your story can be
set in any time period, and Luke's motives for going after Vader can be
anything from revenge to concern. The goal with this challenge is to come up
with a creative, yet believable, explanation for Vader's disappearance.

The 'ER' Challenge


Either Luke OR Vader has been diagnosed with a life-threatening medical
condition. The only hope of survival is the cooperation of a close family
member, who must donate something organic (e.g. an organ, blood, tissue,
bone marrow etc).

The fic can be set before Luke knows Vader is his father, if you so wish.

The fic must feature:
1) Luke and Vader
2) at least one real medical fact about the type of donation you have
chosen.

Optional:

3) in true tv medical drama style, a scene where a bunch of doctors run
along a corridor pushing an emergency stretcher, and yelling medical jargon
at each other.
- bonus points if you can make this scene credible Smile

Inversion Challenge


Luke and Vader trade bodies. This can be at any time in the trilogy or before and can be because of an alien artifact/weird occurrence/the Force, whatever. The two characters have to learn to live each others lives plausibly until they can switch back. 

Requirements~
1. Must be L/V (of course)
2. Must contain the line, "Just remember, I can do just as much damage here as you can do there."
3. Must contain the line, "Give me one good reason not to kill you where you stand".
4. Must have at least one scene where Luke has to get used to walking with a cape.

Masquerade Challenge

 

Someone is masquerading about the galaxy under the name of “Anakin Skywalker.”  The information reaches both Imperial and Alliance networks.  Both Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker hear of it and react accordingly.

 

Some ideas and guidance:

Remember, this is an L/V fic.  That means that Luke and Vader must interact.  They can run into each other while hunting down “Anakin Skywalker.”  It can be pre or post-ESB.  Luke could think that this “Anakin Skywalker” is his father (if its post-ESB he might think Vader lied to him despite what the Force told him, if its pre-ESB...well, you know Luke).  Luke could believe that Vader is his father and know that this is an imposter.  The possibilities go on and on.     

One caution: if you make this “Anakin Skywalker” the real Anakin Skywalker, then Vader is no longer Luke’s father and your story is not an L/V.  

 

This challenge was inspired by the song "Who am I?" from Les Miserables.  The lyrics are below.

WHO AM I? -- THE TRIAL

    VALJEAN:

He thinks that man is me
He knew him at a glance!
That stranger he has found
This man could be my chance!

Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong
When I have come so far
And struggled for so long?

If I speak, I am condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!

I am the master of hundreds of workers.
They all look to me.
How can I abandon them?
How would they live
If I am not free?

If I speak, I am condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!

Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery
Pretend I do not feel his agony
This innocent who bears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
Who am I?  

Can I conceal myself for evermore?
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie?


How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?


My soul belongs to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on

(He appears in front of the court)

Who am I? Who am I?
I am Jean Valjean!

(He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the number tattooed to his chest)

And so Javert, you see it's true
That man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?
