History YMMV / Precipice

** Padme is another case of this. The ''constant'' AdultFear she has to deal with both from the life threatening circumstances her husband goes through coupled with her and her son's close proximity to the Emperor makes it easy for the readers to feel sorry for her.

* {{Squick}}: Palpatine '''having a child'''. The entire readership of the story had a collective reaction of disgust to it. Even the author is repulsed and refuses to go into any details about it beyond "he had a kid."

* HilariousInHindsight: The story gave Palpatine a child years before the release or even announcement of ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', which revealed that [[spoiler:Rey is Palpatine's granddaughter and her father is his child, though he was later {{retcon}}ned via supplementary materials into being his failed clone rather than his immediate descendant]].

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The simple fact that Anakin ''doesn't'' fall to the Dark Side and gets to raise at least one of his children. Given what a FateWorseThanDeath his life as Vader was for him canonically, it's really touching to watch him raise Leia alongside his family.

* TheWoobie: Anakin really gets hit with this. He's pretty much a constant ball of [[GuiltComplex self-loathing and guilt]] thanks to his failure to protect anyone during Order 66, his consideration towards Palpatine's offers, and the ever present dread that his family will be discovered by the Empire and get taken away. Pretty much the entire readership of the story tends to go "Poor Anakin" whenever something terrible happens to him.

!!YMMV for ''Fanfic/{{Precipice}}'':
