THE APOCALYPSE

This is your IC Threadpost.

Please keep things labelled with character names in the subject line.

I'll be doing a few subheaders. Pre fight, Battle, Hellbound and Aftermath. Tag into any of these and if you want another subthread made ask me or MJ so it looks all tidy and whatnot.

Go forth and thread mah lovelies

I'm also gonna suggest cutting comms from the battle to the aftermath down to bare mimimum communications while the main battle threads go on to keep it a little bit real time. If you have to for time constraint reasons please mark it post battle

AFTERMATH- Tahiri/Jacen

Well there it was in as many words. The reason he had to hold together. The reason he couldn't let the darkness in. And Tahiri had told him she loved him with no expectation of a return. Because he couldn't yet. He had tried, he could have told her those words she must have wanted from him so very badly but he couldn't say them quite yet. She'd have him in her life, he'd be with her, be there for her and for their children and he would love those children. But those words...he didn't know when the day might come that she would get them from him.

Different paths had led them here. His actions in making her what she was, hers in trusting him at the expense of the other Jedi, all of it added up to this.

"I taught you well." he told her as she pushed against him letting the almost blessed pain in. Taking strength from it, using it. And he needed that too. Here in a world without his sister he would need that from her. And she would be there for him, she'd give him that strength if he asked her to. He wished he could say the words in return. She deserved them. She called him capable of love and sometimes he really did wonder. He'd made her everything she was and he hadn't done that out of love. Oh she didn't regret it now but he'd made her into his apprentice, lied to her, manipulated her, taken her to his bed when he'd needed someone. He had cared for her throughout of course but how was that even close to love, and how on earth could she keep her faith in him.

"I will do this. I just, it will take some time for me to get used to her not being there. To get used to the empty space that was always, always her. I'm going to need you. Quite a lot."

AFTERMATH- Tahiri/Jacen

She did feel relief that he had heard her, and more importantly understood her. Tahiri didn't think anything quite as dramatic as she had talked him back from the brink. But she had made him pause. And while she knew he would probably go back and forth there several times over the next few days and weeks, she also knew she would be there, every time.

Tahiri didn't expect him to say he loved her in return. Oh she wanted it, of course she did. Any woman would. But she would rather he never said it than said the words without meaning them. It was enough for her that he knew how she felt. No demands in return.

"You taught me very well." Some lessons had been harder than others, some had felt as though they had broken her, but they had all been needed, and she was stronger for them. And she trusted Jacen. Completely and utterly, even when he didn't trust himself.

"You can take all the time you need, I'll be here," her tone was quietly firm. If anyone dared to tell Jacen at what pace he was supposed to grieve, she would end them. "Whatever you need from me, Jacen." Using his name was deliberate. When she knew he needed control, she addressed him as Lord and Master, when he needed that dark side of him indulged, when she needed that herself. But this was not that time. This was the time to show that she was by his side as his lover and partner, the mother-to-be of his children.

And Jacen saw it, of course he did, that deliberate little use of his name, the way she stood. He could always tell what she was trying to do. He could always read her. His Tahiri. His apprentice. He'd shaped her almost as much as the Yuuzhun Vong and here, even now, she stood by him. She was here with him, and it meant more than he really knew how to say.

"I taught you what you needed to know." he said softly."

He wasn't sure what to do now. Did they wait, pray for the whims of the seal to bring his sister back to him. Did they bury her, burn her, they had to burn her. It was Jedi tradition and she was most certainly a Jedi. Their sword, the one that had never waivered.

"Wouldn't be insulting that it was me would it? Burning her, doing the rites. Given my opinions about the order and all. If Mara was still here it would be her, or Luke obviously if...Its just us though. Maybe you, you're probably less insulting overall. Maybe you should be the one to do it?"

He was overthinking and he knew he was. He found though that he could not help it.

He was overthinking it, he was really overthinking it, but Tahiri gave him the space to do so anyway, let him get the comments out, rather than interrupt anything. Only when she was sure he was done did she speak.

"We'll do the rites, do it properly." Her voice was soft but firm all the same. "We will, together. Because screw the kriffing Order, this isn't about them. You're her twin brother, she loved you. Will always love you, through everything. It's not an insult for you to honor her." After all, hadn't Luke given Vader those rites? In the days when there was no Order, and Vader had been the Sith Lord. That hadn't mattered then, and Tahiri knew Jaina would not consider it an insult for her brother to mourn.

And Tahiri herself would be by his side through all of it. No matter what happened, that was just how they worked. Jacen and Tahiri, partners.

"We should go though." Tahiri glanced around, briefly looking at the mess around them all, people grieving, people raging. And it wouldn't be right to just leave Jaina there on the ground. "We should take her away from all this. I can carry her if you want me to."

She was right of course, Jaina would not be left here. They'd carry her, they'd do what rites they needed to. He'd even swallow his dislike of the Jedi Order to see her sent to her rest as appropriately as she would have liked. The Sword of the Jedi. He supposed it was right she fell in battle, even here. But of course it was possible she was at home, back in their world and he wondered did she remember? He wondered would it change anything for her. For him.

Would he fall so far? Would he still give himself for the galaxy.

"Yes, yeah we should move her. We'll get her back home. I should see if the damn angel is still anywhere about though given what just happened who even knows. I should...yeah there's things to get done."

He couldn't get used to that emptiness where she had once been, the twin bond broken. And for the first time he felt just a little guilty for having done that to her.

At least he was remaining calm, that was one relief. Tahiri had almost braced herself for Caedus, for having to talk him down from exploding everything the way he had come so close to doing over Allana. Thankfully it seemed they were all being spared that. Tahiri wasn't sure Lawrence could have survived Caedus directly after Lucifer.

"We'll get her home, sort out the arrangements, try to contact Gabriel if there's any way to, and deal with everything. I'll handle it all if you need me to." Her tone was soft, calm but firm. Jacen would need time to adapt, to deal with not having her presence there, that twin bond so abruptly severed.

She reached out and took his hand, some measure of physical contact to go with the steady presence of her and the babies in the Force. They would never replace Jaina's, never be able to make up for that, but they were a reminder that Jacen wasn't alone.
