The Padme AUs
are a collection of 100 short Star Wars alternate universe fanfics, ranging from several hundred to a few thousand words in length, with Padme Amidala as the central character. They were written by MissIzzy2 for the LiveJournal AU 100 community in response to their specific writing challenge, with each attached to a specific prompt from the big table. Most of the final 100 ficlets were written over a two-year period starting in late 2005 and finishing in late 2007; a handful have since been written a replacement for ficlets Miss Izzy didn't like and wished to remove from her Web page, particularly in 2011/2012 when she did a major editing job looking over everything on her website to remove and/or revise it; she reserves the right to possibly replace other ficlets in the future as well (she is currently in the middle of another slower-going mass edit). They are divided into 12 different universes, with nine stand-alone ficlets.
This work contain examples of the following tropes:
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: In After the Infamous Day, Tarkin blows up Naboo instead of Alderaan.
- Overly Long Name: A Riverbank on Riast has Neri'top'worza'ita'aya, known to her friends as Neri.
- Pregnant Badass: Padme fights alongside Anakin while pregnant in The Hundred.
- Self-Made Orphan: Not explicitly spelled out, but two different universes note Palpatine's parents being murdered with no obvious culprit; in Shadows on Coruscant it played a part on the politics of the displaced Naboo...form your own conclusion. The same with his grandmother.
