SW Fanfic Recs: Padmé's There in Spirit
The Necklace by Amethyst Fire: What if Obi-Wan had kept the necklace that Padmé gave him as she died? Would that small token of Anakin's love be enough to bring him back from the dark side, and learn to love his daughter?
The Quest for the Jewel of Zenda by Valerie Vancollie: Luke travels to Naboo with Wedge, Leia, and three other Rebels on a quest to find the Jewel of Zenda in an attempt to bring the Bothans into the war on their side. However, upon meeting three mysterious women, Luke quickly learns more than he had expected.
A Hope in Hell by Mina1: 13 years after Padme's death, Vader finds her grave in the rubble of a decimated Naboo. But waiting there for him are the angry survivors of Theed's destruction... and the son he'd assumed dead.
Shooting Star by Jelp: Unbeknownst to eighteen-year-old Luke Skywalker, he's become the star of a controversial documentary. After its release both the Imps and Rebels alike want to get their hands on him: especially one angry Sith Lord hell bent on retrieving his son.

Hi! I know you're a part of or at least more connected to the Luke and Dad Vader fic author community. I was wondering if you could help get the world out for a fic I'm trying to find for a friend? Basic premise was Luke crashed and had become temporarily blind but unbeknownst to our farmboy his friend 'Kin' is actually Vader. I'm positive it exists because it sounds familiar but I figured you and the community might have better luck. Thanks for your time. :)
HEYO
I’ve reached into the small corner of the Collective Brain of Luke & Darth Dad fandom that I’m a part of and thanks to @azalea-scroggs I can let you know the fic you’re looking for is Three Days, Two Nights, and One Lifetime by Mina1! Happy reading to your friend! :D

Hi! 9, 13, 34, 43? :D
9. What are your favorite fanfics?
Ahhh this is a tough one - there are too many! 😱But maybe I can give some that I remember as “most formative”: the ones that inspired me to start writing (or otherwise left a lasting impression). Listed roughly in the order I read them in:
The Force Bond series by @kittandchips
Between Flight and Longing by Sheila_Snow
Three Days, Two Nights and One Lifetime by Mina1
The Sith Who Brought Life Day by ophelia_interrupted
In Loco Pirates by @izzythehutt
Where Our Intrepid Hero Doesn’t Get Away by @littlesparklight
The Kidnappings of a Sith Lord by @maedre13
Tenterhooks by @spell-cleaver
13. What is your planning process?
For shorter fics, I make an outline of the main plot points and tie them to their important scenes. If lines of dialogue appear, I have a place to collect them (and piece them together with their scene). For longer fics, I use Scrivener to keep the plot, world-building details, important in-world-objects, minor plot detours I don’t want to forget about (and any other random ideas) organized. I sometimes draw a quick “motivation mind map” for each main character, just so I don’t lose track of what their primary goals are as the chapters creep in. (Plus, it’s fun). Here is one for Vader in Dream, Vision: 😁
34. How did you find the magical world of fanfics?
Um... I finished Pride and Prejudice and went like this:
I started searching for “Pride and Prejudice continuations” or similar, and soon stumbled upon fanfiction.net. Then I saw the sheer number of Star Wars fanworks, and stared stupefied because I had spent so many years of my life never knowing such a treasure trove existed.
43. Guilty pleasure tropes and scenarios?
*coughs* wow this is close *coughs*
Vader capturing Luke, both of them dealing with the aftermath; soft responsible dad Vader; Vader’s continued suffering over Padmé’s death; Luke being an incorruptible sunshine cinnamon roll no matter the circumstances; Vader - overprotective Lord of Drama; Luke being brave and reckless and somehow still managing to get injured right under Vader’s nose; Luke reminding Vader of Padmé; Luke trying to piece together what happened between his parents and learning about Padmé; Vader finding a new focus in his life once he gets a hold of Luke...
...and a most recent obsession (saving the best for last👌):
✵ ❂ ✵ <%%|====> FaNtAsY AUs <====|%%> ✵ ❂ ✵
Thanks for the ask!!

Luke & Vader Arts ♥
I used to draw A TON of Luke & Vader art. This was back in ye olde Livejournal days. And I read a lot of really amazing fics and drew a lot comics.
The old LukeVader Yahoo! Groups is closing down which makes me sad! It hasn’t been active in awhile but I love the fandom (Luke is STILL the BEST BOY!!!)
So here’s just a collection of some of my art and fan-fic fanarts!
(I have some fic recs as well)
I lost a lot of my art just due to losing a hard drive... *sobs*
But it’s not all gone! If I feel brave, I’ll post some more later on? Sorry if any of the comics are hard to read.... I scribble.
Lots of Luke Skywalker and Vader father & son cuteness under the cut.
So brace yourselves!
FAN-FIC ART FOR FORCE BOND
One of THE BEST EVER Luke & Vader fan fic series was Force Bond by KittandChips. It’s a whole collection of stories (and I love each and every one.)
I can’t recommend it enough. I actually was recently re-reading some of the short side stories and they are just as awesome as I remember.
The story is an AU where Luke is raised by Vader on Coruscant.
HAVE I STATED ENOUGH HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM?! ♥
Luke and his friend Ben playing “Jedi vs Sith” ♥
a page of Force Bond doodles from an old sketchbook.
FAN-FIC ART FOR CHASING DREAMS
Chasing Dreams by Becky Tailweaver. (I think I had a full comic page of fan-art but I can’t find it!)
FAN-FIC ART FOR TWELVE ROSES AND A RECEIPT
Twelve Roses and a Receipt by Wellingtonboots
FAN-FIC ART FOR BETWEEN FLIGHT AND LONGING
Between Flight and Longing by Sheila Snow
I drew a whole scene for this one! :0
I know there’s a LOT of fics I’d like to recommend. I know I had more fan art as well..... But I can’t find them at the moment!
A few recs would be:
Consequences by Treenahasthaal
Equally Cursed and Blessed by Mina1
Three Days, Two Nights, and One Lifetime by Mina1
Consequences by MJ Mink
And then I just drew a lot of my own stuff. It’s all fluffy and cute of course :0
If people like them, maybe I will post more later! I mean, I have a LOT.
Some of my comics are so cute its sort of cringe lmao
Hope you guys like the doodles! I ♥ Star Wars and I always will.

Hi!! This is definitely random, but I was just curious - what are your favorite Luke & Vader fics, and/or what are some great fics you’d recommend? I’ve been searching for good fic but I feel like I’ve hit a wall, if you know what I mean? I’d love to know what you think!! 💗
Ugh, I typed up a whole thing with links and all, TWICE, and Tumblr decided to eat it. TWICE. So here we go again, third time’s the charm (on the laptop this time...)
You can browse my “fic rec” tag here on Tumblr, there’s lots of stuff in there. And here’s a link to my bookmarked L&V fics on AO3.
Off the top of my head and in no particular order, some of my favorites are:
The Intrepid Hero series and Sun in Chains by @littlesparklight
Between Flight and Longing by Sheila_Snow
Hostage and Under the Stars by @slx99
Black Squadron by @azalea-scroggs
Violence in the Library by @radioactivepeasant
Likability Conundrum and Some Assembly Required by @mokulule
Signature by CayaStrife
In Loco Pirates by @izzythehutt
My Bitten Heart, Equally Cursed and Blessed, and Three Days, Two Nights and One Lifetime by Mina1
I’m also a huge fan of Dark Times, Instinct, and Born in Fire and Blood by @treenahasthaal, but these are quite a bit darker and might not be what you’re looking for.

luke is still my favorite star wars character but i've never written his pov because it never feels *right*. i feel like i've seen so many different characterizations of him that have influenced my view that i'll never be able to get my *exact* image of him onto paper, which is definitely a part of it. idk where i was going exactly with that but how do you keep your characterization separate from what you might read?
Hi, and thanks for the ask.
Honestly, I don’t ever think you can keep your characterisation of any character from being influenced by what you read. Writing is influenced by everything around the writer, including books, films, environment, upbringing, life experiences, ad infinitum.
However, every fan writer, without fail, will have a slightly different take on Luke. My Luke will be different in some aspects to Blank 101, to @threadsketchier, to Mina1, to @spell-cleaver, to MJ Mink, to @kittandchips and on and on. However we will have similarities, too.
(The only Luke that I have never, and likely will never, recognise is Rian Johnson’s Luke. But that is a completely different debate.)
I used to be terrified of writing Darth Vader. I really struggled and in my earlier writing I completely avoided him. Until, I realised that under that mask and armour was a flawed human being. I wrote Introspection in about an hour (this was before the prequels) and suddenly he made sense to me. It was getting his “tone,” his way of speaking that was the knack for me.
So, what I’m saying is write Luke. Write your take on Luke. My advise is watch him, watch his mannerisms, watch him when he’s in the background (Mark Hamill is fantastic). Watch Mark Hamill, see what his mannerisms are, watch his eyes - Mark does a lot of Luke through his eyes (and what amazing eyes he has
Other advise would be to clearly imagine the scene in your head. Put yourself there. Imagine everyone around you, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the feel of it all. What would Luke be feeling, how would Luke be reacting? Go with the flow.
If you’re unsure, ask someone, allow them to read and give their thoughts, be open to guidance. Writing is a skill that is part talent and a lot practice.
So, to put my answer short: You can’t keep from being influenced and just write Luke the way you feel him. There is no exact image of him.
Just dew it!

I read this one Star Wars fanfiction, Shooting Stars by Mina1, where Biggs is basically the only one alive who is aware that Luke and Leia are twin siblings. He’s trying not to reveal this fact while at the same time trying desperately to keep Luke and Leia from developing THAT kind of relationship. Like, they even sit too close and Biggs is just like:

What fic authors, that you've read and in your own opinion, do the best job at providing accurate character representations, story, and emotional feels? Do you have any particular quotes that you've remembered because they were just so good? Any scenes that REALLY made you feel? Sorry for the 800 questions but I want to get back into fic reading, and you seemed like a good blog to ask for some recs
(sorry this took me so long to answer ^^’)
Aaaaa no worries!! I have kinda been in a fic reading slump myself. I’m sorry for how long it took me to get to this ask ^^’ Here’s a few fic authors under the cut (organized by fandom) that I think really nail the characters. Keep in mind that I tend to be fairly selective when it comes to the stuff I like in fics, so what I like might not necessarily be what you want to read. Still, I hope this helps!!
MHA/BNHA
- I honestly cannot recommend the “I Am …” series written by @swiftwidget and @aoimikans enough. It’s a story that follows Toshinori’s capture by AFO and his subsequent experiences. What really sticks for me with this particular saga is the attention given to characterization and healing. There are a lot of different traumas that are handled wonderfully in the series, and they are really adept when it comes to showing how recovery isn’t a straight shot - there’s ups and downs. I’d also recommend checking out their individual accounts for more one-shots - they’re fantastic!!
-Blacknovelist ( @blacknovelist) has a lot of great fics, but I especially enjoy “Star Children” It’s a really gentle, heart-warming fic filled with a lot of quality Dad Might and “the class is a giant family” feels.
- “Human” by end-untold is a really beautiful fic that follows a discussion between Toshinori and Izuku. They talk about, essentially, being asexual and aromantic. It’s a super good fic, and I really appreciate all the tact and effort put into their conversation.
- “Parent-Teacher Meetings” by Quirkless is a Toshinko fic that follows Toshinori and Inko post-Kamino Ward. It’s really beautifully written. What stands out to me about this fic is that it’s not two starry-eyed teenagers falling in love - it’s two adults who have been burned before, and both are tired in their own ways, but with each other they can find healing and growth and family. Also, the attention given to Toshinori’s health and mental state is top-notch, and I really appreciate all the effort that went into the interactions between him and Inko.
- The very first fic I read for MHA/BNHA was “Smile Again” by Sevi007 (@sevi007). It’s a super good examination of how Toshinori handles losing OFA after Kamino Ward. It’s sad, yes, but what sticks with me from this fic is the gentle way healing is handled and the absolutely amazing way the familial relationship between Izuku and Toshinori is written.
STAR WARS
- I would be extremely remiss in my Star Wars recs if I didn’t mention Mina1′s “Equally Cursed and Blessed.” It is a legitimately breathtaking fic that goes AU after “The Empire Strikes Back” and is full of good father-son moments between Vader and Luke. It’s very well-written, and there’s a moment towards the end where Palpatine accuses Vader of not knowing what to do with freedom, since he’s been a slave for so long, and Vader just says something along the lines of, “I’ll figure it out,” and it’s AMAZING. Honestly this fic was one of the first that really showed me what could be done with fanfiction, all the different ways the plot and characters could go. It’s so, so good. Their other fics are good too, but “Equally Cursed and Blessed” is absolutely amazing.
- Literally anything written by @fialleril is amazing, honestly, but there’s a special spot in my heart for their “Double Agent Vader” AU. It’s a super delightful fic series where Vader joins the Rebellion as a double agent several years after things go down on Mustafar. It’s rife with amazing interactions between Leia and Vader (who don’t know about their blood relation) and wonderful world building. It’s a series with a lot of heart that showcases the power of stories, which I’m always a sucker for. Their other fics are fantastic too, with a lot of world building (literally - Tatooine will never look the same) and just generally really cool Star Wars stuff.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
- @sevi007, again, has some lovely fics that focus on Yon-dad and the relationship he has with Peter.
- “Night Watch” by Sholio is a lovely post- GOTG 2 fic that is a really cool examination of Peter’s grief for Yondu. What sticks out to me with this fic is that the characters are absolutely on point. Honestly, all of Sholio’s Guardians fics are wonderfully characterized.
OTHER
- Avengers - Several years ago I started reading Avengers/Captain America fanfic written by Nilly’s Issue. What stands out to me about their writing is the attention to physical angst and how it correlates to emotional and mental stress. Honestly, their writing style probably has some effect on the way I write physical trauma.
- One Piece - I really love Velkyn Karma’s One Piece fics, and I’d totally recommend them if you’re a fan of Zoro and family feelings. They do some really fantastic work with all the characters, and while a lot of their fics deal with pretty mature and dark topics, there is always a feeling of hope and recovery.
- A while back I used to be really into R.A. Salvatore’s “Forgotten Realms” stuff, especially the books that included Artemis Entreri. I was bummed when his adventures with Jarlaxle ended, and that they ended the way they did. Thankfully, Ariel D was there and provided plenty of character development and lovely platonic relationships. Their stuff goes AU after “The Servant of the Shard,” and essentially follows the idea that the two mercenaries could have become good friends and grown into better versions of themselves with each other. While the fics in the series (starting with “Masquerade-of-Monsters”) include a lot of extremely mature themes, they’re handled with care and a tact that I really appreciate. With Ariel D, I really look up to their ability to get into the mind of the characters and write it out on the screen/page, without it feeling tedious or info-dumpy. There’s a particular quote that I remember where one of the two gets hurt and is saying that they don’t need help, and the other responds with “Does it matter if you dont?” It’s such an amazing moment that happens several times, where the two main characters state their drive to be there for the other, even when it’s not strictly necessary.

sw fics i love (vader + leia-centric)
because it’s helpful to organize one’s thoughts. a work in progress.
long post is long.
old but memorable (written before 2013)
ebony and jade by brendon j. wahlberg, with illustrations by ian mcintosh (gen, vader + mara). lord vader & the emperor’s hand team up against a jedi and his psychedelic plants, and it’s glorious.
father’s heart by fernwithy (gen, vader + leia, series). vader befriends young princess leia. the fic that shaped me as a child. politics, corruption, betrayal, handmaiden culture, unspoken affinities, and fire.
the penitent by bellebayard, fernwithy, jediskysong (mostly gen, some anakin/padmé). begun in 1999 and now only available in its original form*, it seems - the jedi council forums, where so much fic was written back in the day - and only incompletely, this post-rotj anakin redemption story is the sprawling product of collaborative authorship (and a follow-up to “father’s heart”). ymmv on some of the plot devices and characters as a result, but it had an enjoyable take on skywalker family dynamics and a riveting, fully-realized trial for vader. *if you find a better copy of this, please message me!
the smart one by fernwithy (gen). written in 2002. excellent outsider pov on vader, who has taken especial interest in a particular piece of naboo art. a meditation on art and politics.
by the grace of lady vader by fernwithy, ami-padme and alderaan21 + the ascension of the queen by fernwithy, ami-padme (vader/dark!padmé, han/leia). written from 2000 until right after aotc on the jedi council forums (original posts + comments here & here). this story has remained with me as a set of unforgettable scenes and images - amidala in blood-red veils, praising schoolchildren for their talents and services to her empire, luke the obedient child, leia the freedom fighter, vader at once gratified and disturbed by what they’ve all become.
dark labyrinth pt 1 | 2 | 3 by Shayne1 (luke, han, chewie, vader). luke’s in trouble. vader kills the best lead on his whereabouts, and has to team up with han to find him. terrific voices all around.
various one-shots (also here and here) by MjMink (gen, mostly luke + vader). these were incredibly influential back in the day, and still manage to surprise and delight.
tamarisk by Arco (vader gen). splendid little vader adventure with memorably gory imagery and one hell of a bizarre twist
about turn by Mina / Mina1 (gen, vader + leia, vader + luke, luke + palpatine, background han/leia). written in 2001. vader & leia work together to save luke from the emperor. creepy luke-emperor interaction plus some nice scenes on tatooine. see also: legacy (vader + leia), a lovely short where vader survives rotj and leia has to come to terms with him, and in plain sight (vader, luke, leia), a variation on the theme.
deep as you go by @garnettrees / Meredith Bronwen Mallory (vader/padmé). written in 2002. vader creates a clone of his wife. a terrifying glimpse into his psyche - and the ethics of cloning. “but she’s not the painting, she’s just the print – no texture.”
return of a jedi by JHMLYNDALE (gen, vader + leia, rotj-legends cast). written in 2005. luke, han, lando and mara jade all die in the attack on jabba’s barge. leia, vader, and their allies take on the emperor. if you can stomach the character deaths, this is one hell of a ride.
equally cursed and blessed by Mina / Mina1 (gen, vader + luke, rotj-legends cast). written between 2005 and 2008. epic luke + vader story with a vividly-portrayed full cast, particularly leia, lando, chewie, piett and palpatine.
the protege by jedinemo (gen, vader, luke, obi-wan, leia). written in 2007/8. vader discovers a familiar clone skulking around the imperial palace. vader’s personality issues are on full display.
missing in action by cwbasset (gen, vader + luke). written in 2008. my favorite take on the ‘luke and vader crash-land together’ trope. includes grade-a vader-artoo bickering. fantastic author, see also: shattered (wip, luke + legends & prequel cast, time travel AU)
omelas by Deja Vu (vader, luke, xixor). short story from 2009 that packs quite a punch.
interregnum by PlaidButterfly (clone trooper + vader). written in 2011. short and chilling story showcasing just how desperate vader is to believe he’s still the hero.
canon-compliant
and there I shall find by ambiguously. lovely take on post-TFA General Organa in a whump/survival scenario, speaking - listening - to her father’s hated ghost for the first time. Anakin is insufferable, jealous, smug and sullen and somehow still unable to understand why his children were kept from him - and yet also knowingly deploying his worst traits to keep the daughter so like him alive. Leia has no reason to forgive but is listening, and not only to his engineering advice. Hopeful, with flashes of humor, and crawling with sorrows that would never end
the black buzzard by @jerseydevious (vader + luke). sweet, sweet body horror and father-son banter. see also gleaming in the wreckage
bursts of stardust by @redrikki (anakin/padmé, assorted cast). set of insightful shorts, including AUs, that lend shade and nuance to anakin, padmé, the jedi order, even palpatine.
the funeral pyre by anendda_rysden (gen, vader, piett). superb story showcasing vader’s struggle with his own body from an outsider pov. vivid, powerful writing. contains sci-fi/horror elements.
liberation by redone (gen, vader + luke). vader’s walk with luke from the throne room to the end. written in 2002, as lovely now as it was then.
PRojects IN Controlled Environments, version Sith by Beth Winter (vader, ocs). clever imperial outsider pov on vader, showcasing his engineering skill. ketha, the female protagonist, picks up on fascinating little details, my favorite being: “The handwriting was atrocious, a combination of two different styles - one with romance holo titles flourishes, one absolutely primitive - and cramped enough that she needed to zoom in.”
the sith who brought life day by ophelia_interrupted (vader, ocs). vader is often at his best when one has to guess at what’s going on behind the mask, a job all the harder for imperial underlings without access to the force. very nice outsider perspective made all the richer for how believable it remains while mixing the serious and humorous.
speak to me by @cyberdyke-industries (kylo ren, anakin/vader’s force ghost). read this now. this gets what makes kylo and vader monsters, what makes them pull at us - a way of being vader both understands and condemns. cinematic, mythical, chilling down to the level of syntax. the ending is less a cliff-hanger than an image to think through, a powerful allegory..
AUs
everything, including in the valley, by @darth--nickels (many wip, vader-centric, be aware that you need to be logged into AO3 to see them). gems, all of them, even if some may never be finished. my go-to for insights into vader’s psyche. vader is hilariously and horribly unstable–suicidal in one moment, megalomanic and full of bluster in the next, and yet deeply compelling through it all.
> timetravel / parallel universe
of queens, knights and pawns (wip) by @chancecraz (vader + leia, han/leia on the horizon, full cast). tfa!leia ends up reliving her life as anh!leia, and comes to terms with both her past and future. this story is currently my life. come for leia yelling at vader, stay for the lovingly realized cast, their constant miscommunication, and deep-seated psychological trauma. see also scenes from the middle game, encounters in queens told from the perspectives of other characters, starting with a harrowing vader pov, and of dreams and other whims, a au re-write of chapter seven with old man luke!
queen’s gambit by @bedlamsbard (anakin/padmé, padmé/obi-wan, tcw!cast), sequel to wake the storm. this swept me away. ymmv on the pairing(s), but the opening scene alone deserves an essay, and there’s so much to love here: incredible world-building, a full and well-realized cast of characters, political intrigue, media critique, and finger-biting tension.
out of the dark valley by @irhinoceri (anakin/padmé, eventual luke/mara, leia, ahsoka, cast). riveting au where vader is able to return to his rots!self with his consciousness intact, and make slightly different choices. things still go downhill, and the author is unafraid to explore those dark and frightening places, especially with leia.
stand the hazard of the die (wip series) by KeelieThompson1 (anakin/padmé, vader + luke, TCW!cast). young luke is sent to the past, but his mind is marked by a sith lord’s magic and the trauma of what he’s seen. anakin and padmé have to deal. lovely exploration of a situation where anakin does not fall (yet), but vader is still a factor and palpatine still at loose. leia’s story here is at once highly tragic and highly amusing.
edges of the world (wip) by @glompcat (leia, vader, ahsoka, anakin/padmé). leia organa and leia skywalker switch places, de-stabilizing anakin and shocking vader. a brave and important story about the struggles of identity, growing up, what family means, and finding acceptance.
reflected legacy (wip) by DAsObiQuiet (han/leia, anakin/padmé). legends!leia and han are sent back in time to when anakin still dreams of his mother. terrific characterization. see also hindsight is not perfect + the dangers of foresight (wip series), where vader’s consciousness is sent back to his tpm!body, and his emotional stuntedness is both a boon and a problem.
old man luke (wip) by @scarletjedi (luke, obi-wan, anakin). tfa-era!luke - and possibly his sister - ends up in the middle of the clone war. enjoyable exploration of how age contributes to perspective.
> canon divergence before ROTJ
afterimage (wip) by @garnettrees (vader/padmé). vader pursues the promise of resurrection. for those who enjoy clever metaphor, games with myth, linguistic invention, and a shot of gothic horror. “The first word she says is, ‘Help’. ‘I am here,’ says the thing in the dark.”
betrayal of the finest sort (wip) by @cadesama (vader/padmé, vader/obi-wan, ahsoka). relentlessly bitter, spiteful dysfunction at its best. fantastic author, see also: if blood be the price (padmé/anakin, obi-wan, AOTC!AU) and lost things that are never found (adult!ahsoka/anakin, leia, rebel!AU).
echoes of mortis by @sunshinedaysforever (anakin/padmé, cast). powerful what-if with palpable, believable character growth. see also time to change the road you’re on (wip; anakin + ahsoka, timetravel).
flesh of my flesh by @igrockspock (vader + leia, gen) - when precocious eleven-year old Leia is taken from her home on Alderaan to live with her birth father in his lava castle, both understandably have to adjust. An absurd situation that the author mines for its humor and the humanity it can reveal while never forgetting what Vader is and what he ultimately wants.
how the other half lives (series in progress) by @reedroad (luke + leia + vader, OT + Rebels + comics cast). gorgeously written switched!au, with prince luke and jedi leia. and while much remains the same, the devil’s in the details. vader steals his scenes: angry and awful.
in loco pirates + palpatine ad portas (wip) by @izzythehutt (gen, vader, palpatine, luke, leia, aphra). vader, driven by his fear of weakness, and luke, who sees right through him. lovely father-son interaction offset by an utterly compelling and terrifying palpatine. leia’s in for the ride, too. also: hondo!
in which vader discovers he’s a father by @glompcat (gen, vader + luke + leia). vader kidnaps or discovers one or both of his children, in situations varying between the harrowing and humorous.
the light you leave behind (wip) by @laventadorn (anakin/padmé, anakin/obi-wan, ahsoka, tcw!cast). great author in many fandoms. this particular story features vivid action and even lovelier domestic scenes - wonderful characterization especially of the female characters, from padmé and ahsoka to ventress.
masquerade (wip) by PlaidButterfly (gen, vader-centric). vader is forcibly taken out of the suit, only to find that the emperor has his hands on luke. memorable for the physical description of vader as a kind of grey-haired shaggy bear, his chilly interactions with leia, and his attempt to survive unnoticed in the lower levels of Coruscant by returning to what he knows best: fixing things.
on the day ... by @cacchieressa (vader + leia, series in progress). vader discovers his daughter and comes to an agreement with her parents
the tyranny of kinship (wip) by @amarielah (mostly suitless!vader + leia, cast). vader and anh!leia come to an understanding. leia shines in particular, bringing across that astuteness and political savvy she’s often said but not shown to have. see also precious illusions (wip; vader/vision!adult!ahsoka), an unsettlingly lovely take on vader’s contradictory impulses.
slipping by radioboca (gen, vader, leia, luke, bail, breha, han, etc.). leia gives in to her hatred for her biological father. leia is so, so young in this story, and painfully, palpably afraid. vader just thinks he’s doing the right thing.
violence in the library (wip) by @radioactivepeasant (gen, vader + luke). alien meets star wars. a heady mix of uncompromising gore and father-son shenanigans, with a great supporting cast and lots of humor.
> canon divergence after ROTJ, i.e. vader!lives
wounds by @azalea-scroggs (han/leia, vader + leia). luke dies in the battle of endor - vader acted too late to save him. leia is left with her grief. mesmerizing take on vader and leia, their struggles to hold on to reason despite overwhelming emotion. a powerful statement on mourning. see also: black squadron (wip, vader + luke), a take on the ‘luke becomes an imperial pilot’ scenario where luke is faced not only with vader, but also his own morality.
love thy enemy (series in progress) by @threadsketchier (vader + luke, leia, cast). vader survives rotj, but luke may not. body!horror, angry!leia, lovely prose and quality angst.
the trial of darth vader by The Librarian (ocs, vader, luke, leia). brilliant examination of vader’s crimes and legacy from the perspective of his prison interviewer, the kind of man vader would not have hesitated to kill. while this might seem like the lead-up to a trial rather than the trial itself, the reader is invited to be a juror of sorts. vader is dispassionate and alert, reciting information with cold precision, warming only to artoo and luke in his prison cell as his suit wastes away, unsure if he can use the force again - some incredibly memorable scenes here.
the smell of burning by deaka (luke + vader). luke saved vader, but at what cost? short but searing conversation between luke and vader about selfishness, about the costs of getting what one wants, about forgiveness, about whether we change so much in a setting as telling as it is metaphorical.
unvadering (wip) by @cadesama (vader, ahsoka, luke, leia, cast). vader loses the suit and works for the alliance now, but what does that really change? a conundrum nicely played-out in a scenario where ahsoka hadn’t known what he became. features glass-smashing leia.
untitled by @jerseydevious (vader + luke). vader survives rotj and is subjected to probing questions from an alliance doctor. poor luke plays interference
untitled by @sith-shame-shack (vader + luke). vader survives rotj and surgery, slipping in and out of consciousness. panic over loss of the suit, consuming awareness of touch, exhaustion tempered by luke’s presence.

on this special edition of fic rec friday we celebrate both my upcoming birthday (cough august 13 cough) as well as the time i re-entered the fanfiction world and never looked back 5 years ago. here are 17 of my favoritest fics that i’ve read over the years. (note: please check the warnings of each fic before reading them) enjoy!
They Also Serve by elecktrum [ NARNIA ]
“A companion piece to my story 'Into the West' from Edmund's point of view. As Peter journeys westwards on his quest, Edmund must endure both Jadis' curse and the pain of being left behind.“
Vantage Point Universe by Aggie2011 [ AVENGERS ]
an entire universe of 30+ fics chronicling the life of clint barton, both pre and post-avengers. features clint&coulson brotp/father-son relationship and clintasha. aka pure bliss and heartache.
Fate’s Favourite by The Fictionist [ TOMARRY ]
“You always get the stories where Harry goes back into Tom Riddle's time, then either stays or gets sent back. End of, unless he tries to make Voldemort good. But what if things went differently? What if, just once, someone followed a time traveller back?“
Death of Today by Epic Solemnity [ HARRYMORT... slightly ]
‘COMPLETE LV/HP: Raised in a Muggle orphanage, Harry arrives at Hogwarts a bitter boy. Unusually intelligent, he's recruited by the Unspeakables and the Death Eaters at a young age. As he grows older, he constantly has to struggle to keep his footing around a manipulative and bored Dark Lord, who fancies mind games and intellectual entertainment.“
steel in your hand by Mira-Jade [ SIFKI ]
“For war and trickery have been entwined from time's beginning, until star's last light.“
Son of the Sea God by Sassenach082 [ PJO ]
“Zeus kills Sally Jackson with his master bolt when Percy is six months old, drastically changing Percy's life and the course of his future. AU.”
Tainted by Macx [ Jurassic World ]
“Jurassic World: Owen Grady had always had a talent for animals. It ran in the family. Masrani Global recruited him to train raptors. It was a novel idea, something only a crazy or insane person would attempt. Owen wasn't crazy or insane. He knew he could do this, though his grandfather had always warned him: don't get too close. Don't let them connect. Well, too late. Way too late.“
The Blossom by warrior4 [ REDWALL ]
“We know about Martin's backstory, but what about another who was important to Redwall's first Warrior?“
Hold On by Crookshanks.x [ DRAMIONE ]
“Hermione is stuck at the Order Headquarters while some of the others are on mission and she's worried out of her mind. She's been in denial for so long, but her growing concern starts to bring out things she didn't know she felt. DHr. Oneshot.“
take a deep breath (and let it go) by lincesque [ GRAMANDER ]
“His father taps his finger against his inked wrist and smiles, loving and fond.
“They say that your ink represents the soul of your other half, an unbreakable bond between you and the one you’re destined to be with.”
a soulmate au where people are marked with an ink tattoo that fills with colour only when they touch their soulmate for the first time.
(aka the one where newt has a thunderbird across his wrist and an entire world to search)”
Us by Pangea [ CHERIK ]
““Charles,” Erik says, and if his voice hits a pleading note then who can really blame him, “Charles, it’s me.”
It takes several longer moments before Charles musters up the strength to answer, breath stuttering horribly as he tries to breathe. He’s shaking, entire body trembling.
“Erik,” Charles says, his voice cracking, “Erik, I want to die.”“
Looks Can Be Deceiving by corvusdraconis [ HARRY POTTER ]
“AU/AO/EWE: What if Severus Snape had taken Hermione Granger under wing secretly during her time at Hogwarts? What if Draco Malfoy really wasn't the bigot he let everyone think he was?(Follows canon mostly up until the end of GoF, and then detours off into AU territory w/Severus as father figure)”
a switchblade is my preferred weapon by badacts [ ANDREIL ]
“The Foxes take on an injured Kevin Day, and get a Raven-trained backliner with a point to prove into the bargain.“
Allegiance by KaelinaLoveLomaris [ STAR WARS ]
“Luke is captured by Imperials while on a mission and ends up needing his father's help getting out of a tricky situation. What follows is shameless Luke and Vader father-son bonding, with plenty of action, angst, and fluff, as Vader finally has his son at his side and plots to destroy the Emperor. Everyone's favorite Imperial, Admiral Piett, plays a large role, as does Luke's fellow pilot, Wedge Antilles, and Boba Fett will probably make an appearance.
Post ESB AU, with canon divergence. This is not Dark!Luke. It is eventual Vader redemption.“
Eye of the Beholder by elecktrum [ NARNIA ]
“Told from various points of view, this is the story of two battles: one against a ruthless enemy, the other to save the life of the High King.“
Equally Cursed and Blessed by Mina1 [ STAR WARS ]
“Luke Skywalker, battered and bruised after his collision with destiny on Bespin, is called upon by the Alliance for a desperate rescue mission that goes horribly wrong. There's only one person who can save him: his father.“
Keeping Appearances by EscapeFromReality [ HARRY POTTER ]
“Harry walks the halls of Hogwarts seriously injured and is confronted by the Slytherins. They take him to Snape, who uses Legilimency to make a startling discovery. Is Dumbledore really who he says he is? Is Harry really on the right side of the war?“
