Falling: The Fate of Ahsoka Tano is a Star Wars: The Clone Wars Fanfic written by Lion Lad. It tells the story of Ahsoka developing a crush on her master, Anakin Skywalker, and (presumably) going over to The Dark Side because of it. Notable for its diverse roster of original characters, including a group of Ahsoka's friends from the Jedi Temple and a menagerie of psychotic Jedi-hating villains.
Tropes used in Falling: The Fate of Ahsoka Tano include:
- Estrogen Brigade Bait: Anakin, In-Universe
- Faux Affably Evil: Maverick is quite charming, even though he's probably going to rape/torture you.
- Fetish Fuel: Lampshaded by a villainous OC while unzipping poor Ahsoka's bodysuit. He comments to his minion (also a Togruta) about how it must turn him on.
- Mood Whiplash: In one sentence, Chapter 4 goes from a charming (if awkward) moment between Ahsoka and Anakin to Ahsoka picking her Spy Catsuit wedgie.
- Original Character: Several highly developed ones. Ahsoka's fellow teenage Jedi-in-training include a polite Gungan, a hyperactive Rodian, a somber Zabrak girl with strong political inclinations, and a Wookiee. There's also a nasty group of criminals who despise the Jedi, including a mutated clone with Mismatched Eyes, a Nautolan Femme Fatale and a Bothan with a colorfully Split Personality.
- Precocious Crush
- Shout-Out: Chapter 3 mentions "Master Lupin's Defence Against the Dark Side classes."
- Shown Their Work: One of the characters is a crab-like being called a Tarc. As the author points out, the Tarc are an actual Expanded Universe race.
- Spy Catsuit: Ahsoka dons one for the aforementioned undercover mission... for some reason
