Reasons for recommending: Back in the Golden Days, when we all posted to M-A via carrier pigeon, a few geniuses like RavenD and VelmaDoo and Smitty and Dee came up with the idea of marking the occasion of Halloween with the debut of The Dead Padawan Society. I must say, it warmed my little heart, and I bookmarked the site immediately.

One of the "founding" stories was Coruscant Gothic, which truly creeped me out. Mystique is a Master of setting a mood, and her unique POV in this story is equal parts eerie, scary and vulnerable.

Quote from story: none - I really can't without spoiling it. It's short - go read it now.

That was one of Briony's, I think, but the title escapes me.
