Au where luke is absolutely shite at cooking but redeemed!vader has not had proper food in two decades + has an artificial digestive system that can digest anything so vader thinks luke's cooking is absolutely jawdroppingly amazing. Luke gives vader raw chicken topped with beans.... and vader's so proud of his (not) talented son. The food reminds him of padme because she was bad at cooking too. Vader experiencing that ratatouille food critic flashback scene except its with padme and both foods are absolutely rancid
vader: whoever caused this mess is going to-
luke: it was me.
vader: -is going to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance <3
luke, to r2d2, lying facedown on the bed, regretting everything: and then I called him dad
vader, downstairs in the kitchen with piett, on the verge of tears: and then he called me dad :)
darth vader: i have a bad feeling about this.
luke skywalker: what do you mean?
darth vader: don’t you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if something is going to get you in trouble?
luke skywalker: no.
darth vader: that actually explains so much
Fascinated by the drawing luke shows vader in lego star wars.
(Close up still shot)
There's two suns (tatooine!! Hoo)
The suns are wearing sunglasses and also on the corner of the paper (relatable)
Luke's wearing his farmboy robes
Vader's mask is needlessly drawn too well
Meaning of this drawing is that Luke dreamed of having a father when he was a kid, and that didn't change even when he learned that darth vader was the father he yearned for
So he's showing his heart and also proposing a better future where they actually cultivate this kind of father son love
Au where luke naberrie is taken hostage by the empire to ensure naboo's loyalty. But it's not like he's tortured or mistreated, he's treated like a guest, he just can't.. leave, that's all.
Vader knows Luke is his son because of that last name, but luke doesn't know. And luke's a lil bit scared of vader at first because Darth Vader, holy kriff, but vader's generally nice to him and gives him gifts so Luke's like... he's not that bad I guess? Vader comes over whenever he has free time and luke's like oh hey lord Vader wanna hear some court gossip
But Vader's been planning to commit treason and dethrone palpatine, just like he did in rots. He doesn't have any intention to rule himself, he's more likely to pledge loyalty to someone he trusts and follow them to hell, like he wanted to do with padme. So vader, knowing that luke is his son, knowing that luke is a good kid - one day just. Kills palpatine and presents his decapitated head to luke. And luke, obviously, is like what the FUCK lord Vader.
While luke did want palpatine dead he's disgusted by the way vader shows his affections. It's like - luke is a normal person who grew up with a normal family, whereas vader's been in a master-slave dynamic for 20 years and also didn't really have good healthy attachments even before then, so the way he acts towards someone he loves is just like a cat bringing back dead birds to their owner. Except in this case, it's bringing back annoying imp's heads to present to luke.
So luke's like ok. Ok. Calm down. Lord vader's a bit crazy in the head but I can use this. But after a few months he realizes that vader will only obey him in a way he wants to, if vader thinks it'll be 'detrimental' to luke's happiness he'll go behind his back. And since vader still firmly believes in the empire and all that stuff, and because his way of love is off, there emerges an irreconcilable gap between them - and eventually luke decides to pack up his followers and leave to the rebellion.
But Vader catches him before he can go! But vader looks so. sad? He looks so sad and broken and tired and is like why are you leaving I thought we were doing so well.
And luke's the one who flips out and goes well if you actually listened to me instead of bringing back heads and spoils of war, I'd maybe listen to you! And vader does the father reveal then, being like as your father I have the responsibility to protect you- and luke's brain just grinds to a halt and is like wait. Wait. Wait. And vader's looking suspiciously like a kicked puppy rn and also he's flashing back to all the times they laughed together and Luke's like ugh FINE you come aboard the escape shuttle too. And they join the rebellion together and Luke teaches him how to be a normal person
