Star Wars prompt: Competitive Flower Arranging Competition AU. Padme and Anakin are mortal enemies on the competitive flower arranging circuit, but oh no they're hot.

"Sabe, I need more peonies, please! Dorme, please trim those lilacs. Oh, and Corde--lighter on the fragrance. We don't want to overwhelm the blooms."

As her helpers nodded and did as she asked, Padme took a deep breath and stepped back, taking in her creation.

The Coruscant Guild of Floral Arrangements was the most prestigious floral society in the galaxy. Being invited to join the guild was the ticket to the best assignments, the best clients, the best supplies.

If Padme won the competition today, she would become a member of the guild and all her dreams would come true.

She just had to beat Anakin Skywalker, the crazy-talented man who had just appeared out of nowhere and wowed everyone with his amazing designs.

This was his first competition, but Padme already had a good idea of what to expect, thanks to Anakin's social media presence. He favored sharp, architectural designs, but with a certain zen to them. Compared to her soft, romantic designs, Padme thought Anakin's work was too stark. But it was still very striking and unique.

Anakin's booth was at the other end of the hall, so she had no idea what he was creating--or even what he looked like.

"Wow."

A low, male voice, coming from behind her, made Padme's skin tingle in a most unexpected way. She turned around and tried not to gasp.

The man in front of her was . . . well, gorgeous. Tall and broad-shouldered, with curly blonde-brown hair and soft lips, his face looked like something out of a High Republic painting.

But it was his eyes that really captured her. They were just so blue and soft and deep . . .

"Did you design this?" he asked, gesturing to the floral sculpture her assistants were working on.

"I did," she said, trying to ignore his good looks and be professional.

"It's nice," he said, meeting her eyes. "Girly, but nice."

Girly? Girly?!? Padme glared at him. "Excuse me?"

"I mean, c'mon, it is," he said, giving her a smile that was one-part adorable, one-part patronizing. "I mean, bravo for keeping it from tipping all the way over to grandma, but your design is so romantic, it should come with a meet-cute and a misunderstanding."

"Is that so? Well, then, how about you take me to your design and I'll crap all over it?" Padme said, resting her hands on her hips. "I don't know where you were brought up, but in the Core, it's generally considered good manners to at least be polite and ask if constructive criticism is desired before tearing a design to pieces."

XXX

Oh, kark. He had really kriffed this up.

Anakin Skywalker tried not to blush as Padme Amidala--the beautiful, amazing, most talented designer in the galaxy--glared at him.

He couldn't deny that he had been following her work for years, had been inspired by her single-minded focus and clear aesthetic. The fact that she was completely gorgeous, all curly brown hair he wanted to bury his hands in and deep brown eyes he could get lost in . . .

Well, that didn't help him act like a professional. So he needed to get his act together.

"Sorry--I'm sorry," he blurted out quickly. "Your design is great--and you're right, I shouldn't have said that about it. I mean, everyone knows Padme Amidala--your work is amazing, I've been so jealous that I could never get flowers on the Outer Rim like the ones you use."

A little wrinkle appeared between her eyebrows, making her look befuddled and even more beautiful. He wanted to kiss away that wrinkle of confusion and hold her close.

A voice that sounded like his mentor, Obi-Wan, mentally chided him, "Really, Anakin, pull yourself together!"

Straightening his shoulders, Anakin held his hand out to her. "Could we maybe start over? Hi, I'm Anakin Skywalker."

Her hand was halfway to his when he said his name, and Padme froze, blinking at him. "Anakin Skywalker?"

"Um, yeah?"

Suddenly, her small fingers were wrapped around his hand, shaking it firmly. "Now I definitely want to go look at your design. Oh, and Padme Amidala. I mean, that's who I am."

"I know," Anakin said, unable to hold back his smile. "And . . . yeah, you can come see my design. You can even, as you said, crap all over it."

Her cheeks flushed pink. "That was rude of me. I apologize. I've been admiring your work on the holonet for ages."

"You have?" he said, his voice reaching a pitch it hadn't in six years at the thought that Padme liked his designs.

She nodded, still flushed, but smiling at him. "Show me what you've got, Skywalker."

And as he beamed back at her, Anakin resolved to show her everything he had.

Because maybe that was the way to win her heart.

End.

anakin being touch starved

I feel like Anakin would be endearingly needy especially with Padme for affection, they spend so much time apart so when they finally see each other all he wants to do is hold her. Padme was always one to keep busy so even when watching some shitty holodrama with Anakin she starts to make tiny braids in his long hair. Anakin felt so soothed by the repetitive action that he fell asleep, when he woke up later and left Padme’s apartment he had forgotten to undo the braids and carried on for the rest of the day with them still. Ahsoka kicked Rex when he tried to tell Anakin.

Skywalker Family AU

anakin and attachments

Due to Anakin joining the jedi order at age 9, he was never truly able to let go of his attachments and emotions. This meant that although he had to act cold and detached, anakin craved affection. He had no true outlet for this; his family was far away on Tatooine and he and Obi-Wan didn’t have that kind of relationship. 

He was alone.

That is until he met Padme. Padme was not a jedi, she didn’t care about attachments, in fact she saw them as a good thing. “attachments are what binds us together, Ani” she smiled, “they make you stronger”. At first Anakin didn’t believe her, attachments went against everything he had learnt as a jedi, but when he held her in his arms he felt truly powerful.

Do you have any Anidala or vaderdala FanFiction recommendations?

I do! Another anon was asking for recs too so I’m answering for you both.

Frankly, I haven’t read most of the popular fics because either they are too long and I never completed reading them or because I think they are based on TCW’s and now Disney’s interpretation of the characters (which is fine, of course, just not my cup of tea). I mostly read one-shots or completed short fics. As for Vaderdala, you’ll find lesser-known ones in my list (mostly angst) and most of these are vignettes and canon-compliant (where Padmé is dead) but some of them are AUs where she is alive or resurrected. I haven’t read that many fics either since I got into the fandom this year but I’ll add on these once I read more fics.

I’m sure there are more well-written fics out there and other Anidala blogs would be happy to recommend them. Anyways, in no particular order:

Anakin gets cursed by a witch to be haunted by a ghost of his choosing. Later, it will occur to Anakin that he could have chosen his mother, or even Qui-Gon if that would be too painful. But instead, he tried to be CLEVER, and went with “the ghost of MYSELF after I’m dead.” And now he has Post-RotJ Vader in his ear.

I…I’m so into this idea. 

“I’m telling you. I’m telling you right now, you young fool. Do not trust Palpetine.” 

Anakin wrinkles his nose and shakes his head at the ghostly figure following him into the Jedi Temple. “What are you even talking about? He’s the Chancellor. He wants this war to end more than anymore. And he’s my friend.” 

“He is no one’s friend!” the older man snarls loudly, drawing the attention of Mace, Yoda, and a few other Jedi as they walk in. “He is the Sith lord you morons have been searching for this whole time! You’re just too blind to see it.” 

Anakin - the one that is still living, gives him a bewildered look. “Uh…” he looks towards Yoda and Mace. “I’m sorry masters. My ghost-” 

“Should be headed,” his dead self says. “Yoda. Windu. Do your duty and kill the Chancellor while you still have the kriffing chance and can save the Galaxy from damnation!” 

Anakin stares at him with wide eyes and then turns to Yoda. “I…I think he’s serious.” 

“Hm,” Yoda says thoughtfully. ��Head the words of the dead, we should. Tell us everything your impassioned ghost will.” 

Anakin nods worriedly. “Yes, Master.” 

“It only took my death for you to listen to a thing I say,” the dead Anakin grumbles as he follows his living self. “Fools. All of you.” 

“Rude, your ghost is, young Skywalker.” 

“…Yes, Master.” 

“Feel this way, do you?” 

“…Sometimes…” 

“All the time,” the dead man snaps. “Every moment of every day fighting your war and being ignored and looked down upon.” 

“Please stop talking,” Anakin begs.
