My Whumptober #7 prompt...like, 80 years later. Basically, an ROTS AU, but Make It Worse.
WARNINGS. PLEASE READ.
TW: major character deaths (yes, plural), executions (yes, plural), general existential angst, racism
This is NOT a happy story. If you are looking for a feel-good holiday distraction from 2020, you have come to the absolute wrong chapter. 
I know it's been a rough year. Please heed the warnings.
This was originally going to be a Whumptober fic based on the prompt "I've got you." It ended up turning into a tragedy based on the final scene of Poulenc's gorgeous (but haunting) opera "Dialogue des Carmélites." If you are unfamiliar with this, I suggest googling the name of the opera plus "Salve Regina." It will give you an idea of what you are getting into here. This story is essentially a reimagining of that scene, except in the GFFA.
One other note is that this story uses the proverbial kitchen-sink of writing techniques. Prose, transcript, second-person, etc. It's the first large-ish project I've had time to work on in a while, and the story seemed to lend itself to this kind of writing gym-type exercise.
Anyway, those are all the warnings I have. See you all on the other side.

Dear JEDI, if you didn’t abuse your kids, how come none of them are complaining at being LIBERATED?- Turning Point 501st.
This is exactly what I’m talking about, anon! It’s almost frightening how the discourse in the States right now translates so easily to the GFFA in this scenario.
I need to create a series of shorts that is just articles and letters to the editor/message boards in this “worse” RotS universe.
