Darth Vader: Shadows of the Empire Trilogy
Book 1: The Rise of Darkness
In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is complete. As the galaxy succumbs to the grip of the new Empire, Vader grapples with his shattered past and the weight of his dark new identity. His quest to protect his beloved Padmé Amidala from the Emperor's schemes leads him to the volcanic world of Mustafar, where he confronts both his enemies and his inner demons. Amidst the chaos and betrayal, Vader's struggle to reconcile his former self with his new role as the enforcer of the Empire sets the stage for a galaxy-wide conflict.

Book 2: The Dark Ascendant
As the Empire consolidates its power, Vader is tasked with hunting down the remnants of the Jedi Order and quelling the rising rebellion. The galaxy is a battleground of shadowy intrigues and fierce battles, with Vader at the center of it all. His search for Padmé and their child continues, as he navigates through a web of deceit, treachery, and the ever-looming threat of the Emperor's manipulation. Vader's journey becomes increasingly perilous as he encounters formidable foes and makes dark alliances, all while grappling with the deepening conflict within himself.

Book 3: The Emperor's Betrayal
The final chapter of the trilogy reveals the full extent of the Emperor's plans and the ultimate test of Vader's loyalty. As the rebellion gains momentum and the stakes rise, Vader faces his greatest challenge yet: reconciling his role as the Emperor's enforcer with his desire to protect his family. Betrayal, redemption, and the struggle for power reach a climax as Vader confronts the Emperor's true intentions and fights to secure a future for his child. In a galaxy teetering on the brink of chaos, Vader's choices will determine the fate of the Empire and the legacy he leaves behind.

A Darth Vader Romance Kat I am no one. A shadow. Insignificant. Or at least, that's what I was taught to be. I could not have predicted that it was exactly this, the shell I lived inside, that would one day cause Darth Vader to pull me into his world, one of deceit, violence, and...love? Even Anakin couldn't have known that he would remove the scales off of my shell, little by little, until I was standing before the Empire with nothing to hide behind. But as I stood in the light, it is the appearance of my own shadow that was least expected. It turns out, the closer one gets to the spotlight, the bigger their shadow. --- Anakin There was a time when I believed in the Jedi. For a while, I believed in the Sith, too. If a woman brought down my faith in one, I suppose it is only right a woman would bring down the other, too. But, I'm better this time. Older. Experienced. Knowledgeable. I wouldn't give up everything for a woman again, right? Wrong. You see, with Padmé, I feared the danger she put herself in. I rarely encouraged her to fight harder, encouraged her use her talents and charisma. Sometimes I even disagreed with her ideals. And it is that mistake, among many, that I will not be making again. If Kitten wants to show her claws, her targets need only look behind her to see my shining eyes preparing to clean up the mess. It might be fun, were it not for the sheer size of her messes. TW/ CW: this is still a bit dark, though not on the same level as Vader's Fortress. He's still a shadow daddy, don't worry! Graphic violence & bodies of the dead Blood and gore Spanking Choking Confinement (willing) Hostile work environment (it's true but...lol) Murder Panic attacks PTSD Slavery Dubcon Elements regarding war, hand-to-hand combat, brutal injuries, and sexual activities ranging from casual to...dark lord.

49 parts Complete Mature
In a galaxy where the struggle for power crushes the weak, Aelinara Sylorin, exiled heir to the throne of Valkorin, embarks on a solitary and determined quest to restore her people's honor. Her once-prosperous world has been conquered by the Galactic Empire, leaving its culture in ruins and its future uncertain. Scarred by the loss of her parents-a courageous queen and a Jedi master-Aelinara has spent a decade exploring forgotten Sith temples, unraveling the secrets of the Force, and seeking ways to overthrow Emperor Palpatine. Under a false identity, she infiltrates the inner workings of the Empire and crosses paths with Thrawn, an imperial Admiral as brilliant as he is enigmatic. Intrigued by her intellect and deep knowledge of ancient cultures, Thrawn sees her as a valuable ally for his own strategic plans. In turn, Aelinara recognizes in him a rare opportunity to access critical Imperial resources for her mission. Between them forms a fragile alliance, fraught with distrust yet driven by common goals. When Aelinara reveals her true identity and intentions to Thrawn, their unlikely partnership evolves into a complex bond, teetering between distrust and respect, attraction and duty. Together, they tread the treacherous terrain of precarious alliances and potential betrayals, all while uncovering the true power of the Sith artifacts they seek. These relics, remnants of an ancient and dangerous power, may hold the key to weakening the Emperor-but wielding them comes with immense risk. Aelinara walks a razor's edge: between betrayal and trust, rebellion and submission, light and shadow. In this fight for survival, she must not only choose her allies but also determine what kind of sovereign she wishes to become for her people.
