vadarkin is the ship of all time. they have everything. they had love at first sight. they had a meetcute. they're friends to lovers. they're having a secret affair on top of anakin's already secret marriage. palpatine tried to set them up and was disappointed that they didn't seem to get on like he planned. they had a divorce arc. they have a dramatic reunion. tarkin recognized anakin under the mask by his eyes and his body language alone. presumably they had a dramatic 'i know what you are' scene at some point, but if not then dear g-d these two just mutually understood without even talking about it about anakin being vader, and how tarkin doesn't need to say it for vader to know that he knows. they both want to hunt each other for sport, and did. they are both suicidal in extremely different ways. they're two of the most fucked up people in the empire and they're THE healthiest relationship either of them has ever or did ever have. they have a beauty and the beast motif in which they are both the beauty and the beast. i could go on.

According to prestigious statistical research,  at the moment there are over 50 more Goncharov fics than the total amount of Tarkin x reader, Tarkrennic, Vadarkin,Tarkin x Natasi Daala and Willeia fics combined.

I-I-I just saw someone say Tarkin didn't like the Death Star and only wanted it built because Palpatine did. Because he said certain things in Rogue One and Rebels.
No <3 Like they were really so wrong with their whole confidence.
Project Stardust is Tarkin's BABY. His baby. The Tarkin novel was all about how frustrated he was about delays and how he couldn't control everything and Vader seeing how much he had thought everything through voiced that he should be THE person in command even though Vader himself was against the project.
Even to the point when he was with Thrawn, Palpatine could feel he Vader wanted Thrawn to make a point about the Death Star so they could argue over it. He wanted to defend Tarkin's project to a random Grand Admiral and no one who hadn't read the Tarkin novel would truly understand the undercurrents there. Vader doesn't give a shit about the Death Star. He gives a shit about Tarkin and his passions. He cares a lot, maybe too much, about Tarkin.' Vader doesn't give a shit about the Death Star. He gives a shit about Tarkin and his passions. He cares a lot, maybe too much, about Tarkin. Heck, I don't know if Zahn even understood the seeds he was putting down. I do think he was on the queer!Tarkin one though, he and Savit were VERY flirty.
But the point is, even as the person in charge, Tarkin couldn't stop the delays so he knew to publicly keep his distance. Appoint a scape goat, so when things went wrong-Krennic took the blame. While he and Vader knew-when things went right, they would be on that battle station. It was a cutthroat game of politics.
Amazing that years after Rogue One people still don't get it. Stardust is Tarkin's baby. Vader supports it largely cause of Tarkin, he tolerates it cause of Palpatine.
And the tweeter never mentioned Vader at all but of course I made this Vadarkin-

i think tarkin would watch a holo recording of vader bringing that ship down and ripping it apart like nothing with the same reverence as it were high end art porn and i have no one else to tell this but you (also hi ive loved your fics for years)
Gosh yes, Tarkin would be as reverently horny about that as I am. Also hi and thank you!

Darth Vader: I want you to take me out.
Tarkin: As in “take you out to dinner” or “murder you”?
Darth Vader, Shrugging: I don’t know. Surprise me.

Tarkin is literally the longest-lasting most unambiguously positive relationship Darth Vader had in his WHOLE LIFE. And that’s just canon.
He’s friends with Tarkin for like 25 years. Just mutually appreciative friends.
The only positive dynamic that even comes somewhat close in length is with Obi-Wan, but that crashes and burns after 14 years. The only longer relation overall is with Palpatine and that is not even half-way positive.
Tarkin is just literally the most stable part of Vader’s overall canon life.
That’s fucking wild. And beautiful.

Thinking about Kenobi and the Citadel arc and how Anakin just wanted Obi-Wan's approval and was doing anything to get it only to get scolded for being too eager to prove himself and win and the way his smile just falls.
And how two years later, Anakin hears Tarkin voice his thoughts-That the peacekeeping Jedi shouldn't be leading a war, that their methods hold them back from winning the war, that it's okay to go as far as they need for victory. And he turns to stare. Not a quick glance then recoving his nose, but even after he turns away, he doesn't put his hand back right away.
It's "Someone feels the same way?" It's validation. It's perhaps the first time a broken Jedi doesn't feel broken, because it's the first time a Jedi's ally voices non peacekeeping views. But he's so-guarded.
Because he's waited for this for so long and he's been scolded. So he agrees, but stays guarded. In the next episode, though, he's puffing up his chest, silently trying to make himself seem better. He's not just a Jedi. He has Palpatine's favor as well. He can be impressive.
He can finally have the praise for who he on the inside-not just the perfect Jedi he tries to be for Obi-Wan and Padme and Ahsoka.
It's not Vader music, it's Anakin's eyes following Tarkin even as Obi-Wan is talking to him. And I know it's supposed to be *foreshadowing* all of it but I wish their Clone Wars era bond had been expanded on.
Idk what this is supposed to be but just. Thoughts.
