And Somewhere Out There Maul Is Laughing His Ass Off - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
Anakin is in a mafia, but not a mafia au.
During his junior padawan years he sneaks out to go podracing and winds up pit fighting on the recommendation of someone he doesn't know is in a crime syndicate
Somehow, "you're good at pit fighting, how do you feel about standing behind me and looking threatening during a few ... meetings"
Becomes
"You need me to send someone to tattooing? Oh to check on your mom. Sure thing"
And
"Your senatorial lady friend's Clone Rights Bill is facing strong pushback? Let me make a few calls."
Anakin never realizes that he has become the heir to a criminal empire.

you get it 🤝
wait i love it
no listen
what if a crime syndicate actually saves the galaxy??
they're trying to do some favor for their Golden Boy
and meet an unexpected amount of pushback
so they can't do the Questionable Thing
and they go digging
and find some very dubious connections to guess who? Chencellor Palpatine
and Anakin is all offended that his New Friends don't like his Mentor
and they have to spell it out to this boy bless his heart
'kid. we are Bad Men. and this dude is SHADY AF. pls don't trust a word he says'
'we don't have the force but this dude gives US the heebiejeebies to the MAX'
and Anakin passes along thin information onto the Council
and honestly the war has fucked them all up enough they're willing to grasp at straws and listen to unexpected allies a little
and somewhere out there Maul is laughing his ass off
because one of his lesser syndicates accidentally adopted his former Master's protege and made it Palpatine's Problem
