"Anakin!"

It went so fast Vader had no time to react. One moment, he heard her voice as clear as the day he thought he had snuffed out her light. The next, familiar slender arms were flung around his shoulders; tiny hands clinging to his hefty cape. She weighed nothing, her feet dangling in the air as she held onto him. By habit, one strong arm closed around her waist to support her small frame.

"Anakin," she breathed, unfazed by his bulk, or his horrifying face plate, or the neck piece digging into her soft cheek.

Vader felt as if his knees may buckle beneath him, his free hand awkwardly closing and releasing. He couldn't think, his head swimming and what little remained of his own body trembling. She was supposed to be dead, yet here she was.

Her clothes were dirty, her hair loose and messy. The same old trusty blaster in her holster, the same fierce defiance in her hazel eyes.

Vader was supposed to denounce the name she was speaking, he wasn't supposed to respond to it any longer. He had cut all ties to his past.

Still, when spoken in her tender voice, he couldn't. All he managed to do was pull her closer to his chest, his heart aching and his eyes burning. If he could have, he would have wept out of relief. He didn't deserve her. Yet, here she was.

Safe.

Alive.

"Padmé," he said, even his monotone vocoder able to convey the reverent awe behind the utterance.

She had come back for him.

It is rather annoying when I find a fanfic that has Padmé survive childbirth and is reunited only to find out that the author decided to not put Vader in his suit of armor. I want things like Padmé seeing Vader’s unmasked face and telling him she still finds him handsome. I want Padmé to be hugged and carried by a very tall man in armor. There are so many sweet moments that could be created by having Vader in his suit of armor, but it feels like the author doesn’t realize that. We can still find a way for Vader to get out of the suit of armor as part of his redemption arc and as part of his journey to becoming Anakin again, but you can still have very romantic moments with Vader and Padmé before he gets out of the suit of armor.

i feel like as rexanidala shippers we never focus on rex & padmé's relationship as much as we should. its a shame.

Ok some thoughts about senator Maul AU because I keep thinking about it

Palpatine never finds an apprentice in this AU, so he ends up not being such a huge threat

The events of Phantom Menace only kinda happened - Naboo was attacked by the Trade Federation, but there was no Sith to pursue them and kill Qui-Gon, so things got resolved much more easily

Qui-Gon lives, so he gets to train Anakin, and Dooku doesn't get tempted by the dark side

I think Dooku still quits the Jedi Order, but this time it's because he feels like he could do more good as a politician than as a jedi. He keeps a good relationship with the Jedi Order and the Republic and doesn't become a separatist

Every time he's in Coruscant he visits Qui-Gon and Anakin (and Obi-Wan) and chats with them over a nice lunch, which is good because it gives Anakin a politician role model that isn't Palpatine, and a better perspective of his options - he can leave the Order if he finds a new purpose, it's not a betrayal or a failure

Maul was raised in Dathomir so he's not a sith murder machine, but since he's such a powerful Force-senstitive he was raised closer to his mother and the Nightsisters than to his brothers and the Nightbrothers

(Savage and Feral are alive and happy btw. They visit Maul in Coruscant sometimes. I think he might also have one or two sisters because why not)

He still doesn't like Jedi but it's like. He doesn't want to kill them, he just thinks they're way too limiting and self-righteous. Like how Obi-Wan doesn't like politicians

He rarely makes speeches on the senate, so hearing him speak is a rare treat

Picture holonet social media hornyposting under every clip of him speaking because he has a very sexy voice

His outfits are also pretty daring (read: sexy) compared to most (male) senators. The entire Dathomir delegation dresses pretty similarly, but he gets the most attention

Maul vs Padmé who wore it better type posts

He and Padmé have this weird kinda-rivalry because they're very opposite in a lot of ways, but they still vote on the same side in a lot of topics since they both have a very "I am doing this for my people" mentality

He also absolutely hates Palpatine because he gets extremely rotten vibes from him (he's more attuned to the dark side than the Jedi so he probably Feels Palpatine's dark side vibes better than the Jedi. He Feels Palpatine is Bad)

When/if the Jedi Order ever finds out Palpatine is a sith he will be very unsurprised

Ventress is a representative and Maul's "apprentice", learning the Senate life from him

I'm making her younger than her "canon" age here (by about 10ish years) because it makes more sense to me and because giving Maul a government-assigned baby sister is funny

From what we see in the movies each world seems to only have one senator but I want the Dathomir delegation to have at least two because I think it's more fitting (and realistic, every world needs more than one senator what the fuck)

I think it would be funny if Maul swears he's gonna quit soon and Ventress will take his place in the senate but then the other senator retires first and makes Ventress her successor so Maul has to stay a senator for longer. He just wants to get out of this fucking planet

On the Jedi side of this AU I think Anakin grows into a much more disciplined jedi because Qui-Gon the rules bender would definitely stay in contact with Shmi so Anakin's anxieties regarding his mom will be more controlled, and they would be contacted immediately when she gets kidnapped by the tuskens so they save her faster and she doesn't die and neither do the tuskens and everything is fine

Plus Anakin gets to know his new family better and have a brother and add a new dad to his collection <3

Maybe Obi-Wan gets Ahsoka as a padawan this time, so she can have a master who actually wants to teach, and also be kinda-siblings with Anakin and cause chaos with him while Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan aren't looking

The Separatists never really take off, so the clone wars never happen, but I think the attacks on senators that were happening at the start of AotC still happen because I think it's fun to have drama and have Jedi escorts assigned to senators (read: good excuse to set up an obimaul and allow the anidala plot to happen)

I want Maul to be miserable wet cats with Obi-Wan on Kamino so I am allowing the clones to exist. Purely for comedic plot opportunity. And because I love clones so I want them to exist

But I think this time they only made a single batch of like 10-100 clones and were waiting for the Jedi to get back to them with approval to make more

Maul sees this and goes "Absolutely the fuck NOT" so no more clones are made after those. Sad!

With Maul there to help the Jango fight is much more successful (and 50% less humiliating on Obi-Wan's side) so they capture him and no one has to die

Sidious had to hire Jango this time since I am not letting him have an apprentice, so Jango is like "I was hired by some old weirdo in a cloak who called himself Darth Sidious who sounded and looked a lot like the chancellor from Naboo" and Maul feels so fucking vindicated that YES the bad vibes he gets from Palpatine were correct can we PLEASE kill him now

Jango gets arrested and maybe he makes a deal to work under the Jedi instead of staying in jail so he can take care of Boba instead of leaving him to his own luck

Boba being raised with Jedi younglings while Jango is busy offworld....

The clones also become part of the Jedi Order so they can help Jedi with peacekeeping and defense and stuff

Palpatine gets found out and arrested and/or killed by the Jedi and everyone else gets to live happily ever after. Eventually.

... this is. Way longer than planned. I'm having fun

the clones and the handmaidens sharing a face & being disposable as an inherence of what they are & choosing names that aren't what they were born with, but the difference is in the choice to serve. wrestling personhood and individuality from the hands of your makers vs unmaking yourself on purpose & giving up who you were born as to become someone else. is this anything

#star wars #the handmaidens #clone troopers #constantly thinking abt how not even sabé's parents call her tsabin anymore #the girls gathered in a bedroom picking names to match padmé's and then using those for the rest of their goddamn lives #vs the clones DEFINING themselves out of like. necessity. out of the need to be what kamino didn't allow them to be #sree.txt

Sidious: “When my new apprentice Darth Vader arrives, he will...take care of you.” 😈😤😏

Nute Gunray and the Separatists, who apparently thought that being ‘taken care of’ by a Sith Lord meant something other than being sliced up: “Wow that sounds like fun! We’ll roll out the welcome wagon!” 😄🥳🤩

#Revenge of the Sith is probably my favorite movie of all time #and I watch it religiously #but that bit has started to crack me up #Sidious says it so menacingly too #and Nute is like “oh sure sounds fun! can’t wait to meet him! does he have any allergies because Poggle was gonna make some mini-muffins?” #PACK YOUR BAGS AND GTFO #WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY A SITH LORD #THE SITH ARE TYING UP LOOSE ENDS #YOU AND YOUR BROSKIS ARE ALL LOOSE ENDS #JUST A BUNCHA LOOSE ENDS HANGING OUT TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM #and I know they aren’t sympathetic characters #but Palps played them and Dooku and Grievous like fiddles #“Clone intelligence has reported that General Greivous is… yeah yeah yeah you just got off a holocall with him ya Loth-snake #(wtf even is “clone intelligence”…are they spies??? they’re the most dubious guys in the galaxy! they all look alike!) #sometimes I think about those deleted scenes where Padmé meets with Separatist leaders #and basically kickstarts the Rebel Alliance #makes me think about if Nute and some of those guys had lived and joined the Alliance…lots of comedic potential #Nute: “I feel like ‘Alliance to Restore the Republic’ isn’t a very inclusive name for our cause. I don’t want to restore the Republic.” #Padmé: “Well we’re gonna have better luck piecing the Republic back together than Count Dooku aren’t we?” #Grievous: *uncontrollable cough-sobbing* #revenge of the sith #darth sidious #anakin skywalker #star wars incorrect quotes #nute gunray

Even though it is probably not going to happen in the Obi-Wan series, it would just be so heartbreaking and beautiful if Obi-Wan has a dream where Anakin never fell where Obi-Wan is training Luke to be a Jedi and Anakin is training Leia to be a Jedi. Padmé is also there and pregnant with another child her and Anakin made. Ahsoka also had returned to the Jedi Order and Anakin is a Jedi Master only to have Obi-Wan wake up crying because that is how he wished that things could have turned out. Bonus points for having Darth Vader have the same exact dream too and have him wake up in his meditation pod and have him bury his face in his hands before he breaks down crying too because that is how he wished that things could have turned out too.

LOVE how often you make anakin insecure about being brunette lmao. every time he thinks about becoming blonde to impress obi-wan i lose my mind.

LOL thank you thank you yah that pops up a lot--

like a year ago when i was just starting to really get into obikin and figuring out how i liked writing the characters and exploring the different versions of them that i felt could top or bottom and how that would look and what i liked about each different au and take on the character, i came across a post on this website that said that op as a reader could tell if anakin was going to top or bottom based on if he is described as blond (bottom) or brunet (top)

and i thought that was just. so wildly divorced from any actually interesting take or conversation about the characters and expression of sexuality and sexual preference, that since then, i've made it my hill to die on to make that theory incredibly wrong.

when an anakin in my story is brunet but thinks about dyeing his hair to be blond in order to bottom for obi-wan, that is me being extremely petty, i will not lie to you.

#asks #i dont even know if this person is still in the fandom #but the pettiness in me lives on im so sorry #but also i just have come to love anakin being like 'the only thing standing between me and obi-wan is my hair color! #i must book an appointment now!' #lol au where anakin goes to hair dresser obi-wan to get his hair dyed blonde because padmé likes blondes #and he tells obi-wan this and obi-wan is just like. amazed. and worried. he refuses to do it the first time. #anyway tho i just remembered in the roadtrip au anakin asks (will ask) obi-wan if he was with set because his hair was darker #should anakin dye it to be with him??? #sorry for the rant this has been and always will be a fandom take that i cannot abide by

I am fully consumed by the thought of Anakin & Aayla being childhood friends.

Aayla is a little older and already a Padawan, and isn't overly exited when her Master is meeting up with his friend and they wanna talk about some "important adult stuff only meant for Masters" (it's gossip. They want to gossip in peace and Aayla knows that) and tell her to please watch the friends new Padawan for a moment. Aayla sighs, turns around and is met with huge eyes looking up at him, and it only takes a second of silence before the boy is talking a thousand miles per hour about ships and droids and podracing and the dishwasher because how cools is that.

She listens and pretty quickly figures out that this little boy is absolutely insane, and Aayla knows her Master, and because she knows her Master, she knows how someone has to be to be friends with him.

This kid is getting killed in like a month if she doesn't do something.

Aayla takes Anakin with her for a day at least once a week, just to make sure that he is learning how to do basic stuff and not just how to execute more life-threatening stunts. It goes rather...well, she thinks. Well. At least he is still alive?

("You said what to her?")

("Don't make me repeat it.")

("I'm not going to, because it was absolutely painful to hear the first time. How did you manage to sound like someone who has never even talked to a girl before?")

("Well I really haven't before!")

("Wha- I'm right here!")

("You don't count! Besides, it worked!")

("Yes, and that's the part I'm most worried about.")

#Aayla not trusting anyone who is friends with her Master to take care of a child #especially a child who has never seen most kitchen appliances before #she's there like does your master know that you don't know how to use the toaster. no? is he teaching you how to use it? #oh but you do know how to shoot a blaster okay- #she is a teen girl who is living her life and doesn't need this stress so she's trying to mitigate it #she is also very worried about Padmé's tastes alright #aayla secura #anakin skywalker #star wars #the clone wars #sw #tcw

This song is making me want to start yet another fic to never finish,, "Tell me... Where is your hideout? Who are we running from? I'm starting to think that you were right, and now I'm afraid of letting go of your hand...." Maul giving up on his Mandalore plan and deciding to just stalk Kenobi to tell him about his vision. Staying illegally in Obi-Wan's room because I love putting these guys in situations (and because Maul would NOT leave him alone until Obi-Wan actually accepted Maul is right, which he won't). Following Obi-Wan to Utapau and helping him escape after the clones attack, feeling equal parts vindicated and enraged (because he was proved right but Sidious still won). Them being on the run together....
