   Summary

   A Padawan-turned-assassin crosses paths with Maul before Order 66. Unexpected allies developing confused feelings and Maul is forced to reckon with someone who neither fears him nor submits.
   (Is it worse to be seen or to be killed? Ex-to-be Sith has surprisingly strong opinions.)
   Or
   Attempted assassination as a meet-cute with the galaxy's angstest deadliest Sith Lord who really needs therapy.
   Or
   Accidentally fall in love with a war criminal and maybe heal your inner child and his, too.

   Character and genre study. Emotional slow burn. Fight scenes. Predator!Maul, Dom!Maul with a secret wish to be sub, ex-Jedi with her own Savior Complex, and legacy trauma on all sides. NSFW. Some Dom/sub dynamic, violence & blood. 60% toxic codependency, 30% power couple, 10% thots.
