A/N - One word prompt request – “Time” for Leia Organa, from @Penaltywaltz.
This is based off the movie verse and does not include information from Star Wars Legends (formerly known as the Expanded Universe), the animated Clone Wars, or the various officially recognized books published after the EU was retconned. I’m a nerd, but I’m also lazy and I’m not going to do that much research for a 200 word drabble.
Fate and Time Are Not Kind
Fate and time have not been kind to Leia.
Daughter of a former Queen. Orphaned at birth.
Born into the Skywalker Legacy. Tortured and hunted by a broken man in a mask, the father she never knew and never wanted.
Raised by the couple who sheltered and loved her, her true parents. Witnessed their deaths, the death of her entire home planet, on the whim of a spiteful man.
Titled Princess, Senator, Huttslayer, General. Lost allies in politics and soldiers in battle.
Forged a bond with her brother that no man could sunder. Watched him walk away without a backward glance, away from her and everything they believed in.
Fell in love. Clashed and fought and parted ways, always carrying a part of him in her heart.
Bore a son. Wept as his blinding light grew dim, his Force clouded and twisted by a malevolent madman.
Knew a brief moment of hope that her family would be reunited again. Felt the moment her husband died at the hands of their son.
She was given so much, and lost even more.
Fate and time are not kind Leia, but she will never give up.
The Force shall forever be with her.
