Y/n stood there confused as to why she was here. Nothing about her should interest the Empire. She never given anyone any clues or hints as to if she is with the rebellion.
But yet they came to her senate booth and asked her to come with them. Not that she would have had a choice anyway. When they brought her to a ship, from there they took her to as they put it ‘Where lord Vader is staying’. When the troopers escorted her to a room, they told her this is where she will be staying. In the room was a huge bed, a big bathroom, and a closet. A closet that was full of her own clothes plus some other outfits that were beautiful. But it wasn’t just the closet that had things she owned in it. It was the whole room. There was small things from her room at home scattered all over. All the thoughts in her head stopped once the door opened to reveal the man that had her brought here.
“Why am I here?” Y/n asked with a strong voice. She truly is curious as to why they took her from her home. “Do you talk or are you just gonna stand there?”
Vader just stood there staring at Y/n before asking. “Do you know who I am?”
“Of course I do. Your Darth Vader.EVeryone know who you are.” She nodded, the look in her eyes was very confused as to why he would ask that specific question. But there was another emotion that Vader couldn’t place.
“Is that all you know me as?” he asked trying to get a sense of how to approach why he brought her here.
“Should I know you as more than that?” Y/n tilted her head in more confusion and also now curiousness. What did he mean by that? Should she know him as more?
“You will be staying here awhile. I hope that this room is up to your liking. We’ll talk later.” With that statement, he turned to leave the room. It was obvious to Y/n that that was not the answer he was looking for from her.
“Wait-” Y/n started but he left the room before she could continue. There were more questions running through her head now than there were before he came in.
^ ^ ^
“Lord Vader requests your presence.” A Stormtrooper stated as he entered the quiet room.
Y/n let out a sigh of annoyance. “You can tell Lord Vader that I decline his request.”
The Stormtrooper left reluctantly. Y/n was sure that was not the answer the trooper wanted. Nor Darth Vader.
After about 20 to 30 minutes the door of her room opened. Low and behold Darth Vader entered the room. Y/n couldn’t help but smirk a tiny bit at the frustration in Darth Vaders walk and demeanor. It was quite comical. “Hello to you too.”
“You declined. What makes you think you are allowed to decline a request from me?” Even though he concealed it well Y/n could tell Darth Vader was frustrated with her previous actions.
“Oh, I know that I’m not supposed to. But it got your attention now didn’t it?” she tilted her head with a smile tugging at her lips.
Vader’s suit let out what could be considered a sigh. “I’m assuming you have something you want to say.”
y/n nodded at his assumption. “I have questions.”
“You may ask them.” he moved to sit on the couch in the room he had provided her. Waiting for her to start asking said questions.
“Why am I here?” Was the first one and most obvious out of Y/n’s mouth.
“I have my reasons.”
“Are they valid for keeping me here without my consent?”
“Yes” Vader nodded
“Can I know the reasons?” Y/n asked to hope that she could get more than another one-worded answer.
“Soon.” he replied, smirking behind the mask.
“What does that mean?” Y/n groaned, this was getting her nowhere.
“You’ll find out soon.” Vader rephrased
“How far is soon?” she rolled her eyes at his vagueness.
“Have a goodnight, y/n.” Darth Vader stated as he got up and headed for the exit.
“Will we talk about this again?” Y/n asked standing up really quickly off the bed. Heading to follow him out the door.
“Soon.” Was the last word that left the Sith as he left, with the door shutting behind him.
“UUUUGGGGHHHHHHH” Y/n screamed, falling back onto the large bed. This was ridiculous. She was getting nowhere. Y/n had a feeling that she was going to e there for a long while. The least he could do was answer some of her questions if he was gonna keep her there. Hopefully, he will tell her more ‘soon’ as he puts it.
^ ^ ^
“You requested me?” Y/n snarked walking into what looked to be Darth Vaders room.
“I’m shocked you came. Your learning.” he seemed to snark back.
“Yeah, sure. Why’d you call me here?” Y/n questioned while switching her weight to one hip, moving her arms to hug around herself.
“Do you know my history?” Vader asked what was a very random question to the young woman.
“What do you mean?” she tilted her head in confusion.
“Before I became Darth Vader.” he elaborated, turning to face her.
Y/n shook her head, casting her eyes down as she answered. “No. i heard it was forbidden to talk about who you were before. So no one does.”
“To some people it is. Most in fact.” Vader agreed with her statement.
“But your gonna tell me?” Y/n’s eyes widened in shock.
“Yes.” It was a simple answer but it scared Y/n. What happens to people who know? That question just kept running through her mind.
“Am I allowed to know?” She asked after letting out a deep breath that was shaky.
“It’s my story to tell, Y/n.” Darth Vader smiled under his mask at her.
“Right” Y/n let out a light shaky laugh. It was one of their rare moments between them where whatever wall that separated them came down. Which Y/n didn’t know how to feel about. But Vader couldn’t help but feel immensely happy with those moments.
“Before the Empire, I was a Jedi. I didn’t follow the code completely. I was married, in secret to the love of my life. Right before the rise of the Empire, when things changed she was pregnant. I was to be a father. . . . She died in childbirth. Because of me. An I wasn’t there for her. I made a lot of decisions I regret, and that was one of them.” Vader explained, looking solemnly towards the floor as he thought about his past actions.
“What was your name?” Y/n asked once he stopped explaining, Some of the things he had just mentioned sounded very familiar. Her breathing picked up as she waited for his answer.
Vader decided to make a decision to show her his true face. No one has seen his face other than the Emperor since he turned from Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader. Once the helmet was off Vader turned to face the young woman, maskless. “I think you know.”
“Oh my-” Y/n gasped moving her hands up to cover her mouth. So many thoughts running through her head.
“Y/n-”
Y/n held her hand up to stop him from saying more. “You know. You knew the whole time, and didn’t tell me! That's why I’ve been here this whole time. Isn't it!?”
Vader or maybe Anakin, could see how she was starting to feel upset. Betrayed even. But he knows she’s been held in the Empires custody long enough she deserved to know. “Yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” she asked with a whimper.
“I wanted us to get to know each other first. Establish a relationship before I told you.” he explained, hoping she would understand. But he knew that it’d still probably take time with her. Over the last couple months they have been getting to know each other, just slowly.
“Well, I do know some stories about Anakin Skywalker. My father.” Y/n spoke after letting some time pass, playing with her fingers nervously, aware that things will forever be changed.
Vader- or Anakin nodded in understanding. She had put it together and now she knew why he took her and why he’s treating her the way he is. He walked up to her, giving her a small smile. “I know we have a long way to some with our relationship, but I would like to make this work..” Vader softened his stature trying his hardest not to seem intimidating to his daughter. Not wanting to frighten her. “I’ve missed to much of your life up till now. I’m not missing any more of it.”
Y/n looked him in the eyes still not sure about all of this. But something was telling her that he is being truthful, and that she could trust him. He has protected her since she's been there. “Can you tell me more about my mom? And about you, or at least who you use to be?”
“Yeah, sweetheart. I can do that.” He nodded, and couldn’t help how much his smile grew. The fact that she was willing to get to know him made his heart swell. She wanted him to tell her about Padme, he hasn’t been able to talk about her since he lost her. Maybe they could have a slightly normal father daughter relationship.
Ready to ring in the new year, babyyyyyyy
Oooh, a random OT3 story where Anakin literally removes Obi-Wan's soul, or keeps an iron grasp on the physical manifestation of Obi-Wan's soul... Forgive me, I'm very low on sleep. Hmmm... Maybe something resembling a daemon!verse? Where people talk about soulless!Ben, or imply that his daemon is just tiny and hiding - while Obi-Wan, any time he wants to see his soul, can just turn on the holo and watch the physical manifestation thereof parade alongside Lord Vader with empty eyes... (cont)
Obi-Wan striking Anakin down only to have his soul remain with the burnt, broken remnant of the one he loved? With Vader’s own daemon - nonexistent? (Maybe part of Sith training is repudiating it, or Severing it from oneself?) Vader killed his own soul (killed Anakin’s daemon), Obi-Wan’s took its place… (Except, just at the very end, on the Death Star mark II, something glimmers, and Anakin’s soul manifests for the first time in twenty years to twine with Obi-Wan’s…
*cackles* Completely evil idea: Obi-Wan and Anakin end up switching souls on Mustafer. Anakin’s tattered, Sidious-wounded soul fleeing to Obi-wan’s side, screaming because he is - they are - I cannot have -What have I done - what have I become - Master brother Obi-Wan help me stop me I am lost -
And Obi-wan’s soul is shattered when Obi-Wan turns away. It refuses. It refuses, this is his brother, it will not leave him to burn. The galaxy itself can burn first, but Sidious will not have him. Not alone, not like this, not this terrible parting. This is Anakin, brother-student-beloved, Sidious cannot have him. If the dark is the only way to follow him, so be it.
Of course they’re with the empire smh my head
Customer: (not on record) DMV: VADER HATER Verdict: DENIED
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
Obi Wan just running when he sees Vader, and Vader not being able to run after him is so funny
It also makes sense-Vader's physical capabilities have diminished to the point where he can't even run, he just has to walk. He's not fast, he's a tank. He fights like one, too, he hammers at Obi Wan with his lightsaber instead of doing any cool prequel-level acrobatics or moves, it's one handed. He uses the Force to knock things over and drag people around, he uses the Force to overpower Obi Wan
He's basically a husk of a man being kept alive by his suit and the dark side of the Force, the show displayed that perfectly

I saw this:
And I just knew who’d have that set:
It’s art and a way to casually troll Vader so ofc Thrawn would buy it
SPOILERS FOR THE AHSOKA SERIES!!!!!
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD????
AHHHHHHHHHH
Ahsoka using the world between worlds to explore the different events throughout her life where she regrets taking a certain path…Thinking that she regretted leaving the order and seeing what would’ve happened if she had stayed… FINDING OUT THAT ANAKIN WOULDVE TURNED TO THE DARK SIDE ANYWAY BUT SHE WOULDVE HAD TO FIGHT HIM…AND PROBABLY DIED????
Remember her vision of her future self on Mortis? She was told that she “may never see [her] future if [she] remain[ed] his student.”
If they’re confirming that she would fight Anakin on Mustafar instead of Obiwan if she went back to the order, then she’s probably going to lose that fight. Let’s be real, Anakin at that point had accepted the dark side and had already become Darth Vader. He was always more powerful but I think at this point Ahsoka might have been too hesitant to do what needed to be done like Obiwan did. Obiwan only went because Yoda forced him to. He said he could not kill Anakin, but Obiwan is unique in that his dedication to the Jedi Code is stronger than his attachments. He let Qui-gon, Satine, and eventually Anakin go despite loving all of them. I honestly don’t know if Ahsoka at that point in her life would be able to handle Anakin’s betrayal. When Maul tells her that Anakin is Sidious’ new apprentice, she was in denial. I doubt she’d put all of her effort into the fight. If Anakin was willing to kill Mace Windu, younglings, Obi-wan, and force-choke Padme, then he would’ve been willing to kill Ahsoka too, and I believe he does in this hypothetical we’re gonna see in the show…
I’m gonna cry when I see this omg
