I am FOR REAL this time thinking about titles, and I've come up with three potential options that I liked enough to write down. In classic marcicat writing, they are:

Title Option 1: definitely related to the story, but it's a little boring
Title Option 2: references a part of the story, but isn't a great thematic match
Title Option 3: not related to the story at all, but it SOUNDS COOL

(I'm sure it's clear which one I'm leaning towards!)

"It's a long held dream of mine." He explains, tucking his hands into his sleeves. "When I became a Sith, I decided that I should do so to the best of my ability. There's really no point in half-shebsing an attempt at being evil, and my dear, you really can't be properly evil without a looming evil fortress. I'm afraid that's just a basic fact."
