History Fanfic / OnTheEdgeOfTheDevilsBackbone

* AllInTheManual: Bedlamsbard's tumblr is full of writing updates/snippets, worldbuilding for Ryloth and Twi'lek culture, commentary, and meta.
* AnArmAndALeg: Both of [[spoiler: the Pau'un Inquisitor's]] hands are cut off by Ahsoka in their brief duel.

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: The Pau'un Inquisitor]] was no match for Ahsoka Tano.
* CyanidePill: [[spoiler: The Pau'un Inquisitor takes one of these to prevent Ahsoka from extracting information out of him after she defeats him.]]

** "Still looking for Jedi, Togruta?" – [[spoiler: the Pau'un Inquisitor]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Members of the Inquisition give up their names and are officially only known as the Inquisitor. This being rather confusing when there's more than one around, they have a variety of nicknames. The Pau'un Inquisitor is "the Hunter", the Seventh Sister is "Patience", Kanan is "the Jedi" or "the Stray", while Barriss is simply "the Inquisitor" because she was the first one.

* KissingCousins: [[spoiler: Xiaan and Doriah Syndulla.]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Members of the Inquisition give up their names and are officially only known as the Inquisitor. This being rather confusing when there's more than one around, they have a variety of nicknames. The Pau'un Inquisitor is "the Hunter", Kanan is "the Jedi" or "the Stray", while Barriss is simply "the Inquisitor" because she was the first one.

* VillainousCrush: Barriss is implied to have some form of this on Ahsoka, ironically, due to Ahsoka being the only living emotional connection she has left anymore. It's the reason she keeps coming to her secret meetings with Ahsoka despite Ahsoka not giving her information in exchange, although it doesn't stop Barriss from verbally abusing her or occasionally attempting to murder her.

* AffablyEvil: Barriss is actually rather polite, most of the time.

* TroubledAbuser: Barriss constantly tries to get under Ahsoka's skin during their meetings because, it's the only form of emotional stimulation she understands anymore after fifteen years of being abused by the Empire.

* LuredIntoATrap: Just like in canon, the Empire lures a former Padawan by using the actually-dead Luminara Unduli as bait. Unfortunately for the Pau'un Inquisitor, Ahsoka Tano was much more than he could deal with.

* CurbStompBattle: The Pau'un Inquisitor was no match for Ahsoka Tano.

* SecretKeeper: Cham Syndulla is the only member of the Free Ryloth fleet who knows that Fulcrum is Ahsoka Tano.

* TroubledAbuser: Barriss constantly tries to get under Ahsoka's skin during their meetings because it's the only form of emotional stimulation she understands anymore after fifteen years of being abused by the Empire.

* YouWouldntShootMe: Cham to Hera. He was wrong.

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Ahsoka and Barriss' meetings are made of this, and it can get pretty ugly.

* WantMyMommy: The Blue Opal of Pantora is introduced crying for her mother, [[spoiler: Riyo Chuchi.]]

** Ironically given her extreme distrust of 'Fulcrum,' if she had ''listened'' to Ahsoka's advice not to do anything about Hera until they had more information she would have known more about the manipulation Hera had been subjected to, and probably been much less likely to say the exact things that would inadvertently confirm to Hera that her parents really were the enemy now. At the very least, she would have known from Barriss that Hera and Kanan were together for several years ''before'' he became an Inquisitor, which might have led to a plan that didn't involve shooting the love of Hera's life right in front of her.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Ironically, Barriss. Even her FaceHeelTurn and the Crucible can't break those habits out of her, it seems.

** Ahsoka thinks that Barriss' request for her to [[spoiler destroy the kyber crystal shipment]] was an attempt to kill her and the Free Ryloth fleet after it explodes. [[spoiler: In reality, the crystal was sabotaged by Kanan.]]

* CyanidePill: The Pau'un Inquisitor takes one of these to prevent Ahsoka from extracting information out of him after she defeats him.

* AnArmAndALeg: Both of the Pau'un Inquisitor's hands are cut off by Ahsoka in their brief duel.

* LuredIntoATrap: Just like in canon, the Empire lures a former Padawan by using the actually-dead Luminara Unduli as bait. Unfortunately for the Pau'un Inquisitor, Ahsoka Tano was much more than he could chew.

* SexSlave: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for Hera. While Cham and Alecto initially assume that her relationship with Kanan is this, it is actually completely consensual. [[WordOfGod Her cousins Ojeda and Doriah weren't so lucky.]]
** In the Lake House club on Naboo, we have Ojeda Syndulla, Zaidi Farseer, and Khiry Chuchi.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Barriss, during her first meeting with Ahsoka. Even her FaceHeelTurn and the Crucible can't break those habits out of her, it seems.

* CoolStarship: The ''Forlorn Hope'', Separatist frigate turned flagship of the Free Ryloth fleet. As well as Ahsoka Tano's personal starship, the ''Aegis''.
