What if Padmé didn't die? Find out my version of a Star Wars Prequel AU when you read Anakin and His Angel: What Should Have Been. Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, although I sure wish I did! Also, I don't own the image either.

AU 2 years after Revenge of the Sith... On Mustafar, two heroes battle on the fiery shores. We all know how this ends-or do we? What if Anakin was the victor? See in this tribute to Vadala! Written for MrsSenatorsSkywalker's Vadala fanfic contest.

The Empire rose to power unsettlingly quickly after the fall of the Republic. The Sith returned stronger than ever thanks to Palpatine's new protégé and head in command, Darth Vader, and the galaxy is in a state of turmoil and supreme dictatorship like never before. Amidst this, Padmé Amidala raises two children hidden away from the Empire while acting as a senator and assisting in leading the fledgling Rebellion right under the Emperor's nose. What happens when Vader and Amidala meet on opposite ends of the battlefield? *SUPER SLOW UPDATES FOR NOW*

In the era where swords rule, where women consider their modesty their greatest virtue. Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands. A time when an honorable man guards his gaze, for his gaze is solely for his wife alone, as well as his heart. He's feared, ruthless, cold, heartless, manipulative, cunning, a rake. Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few.

More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.
