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. No pregnancy, but motherhood is mentioned.

Meanwhile, on opposite sides of the war, Rey and Kylo Ren are forced to face the realities of their bond, their complicated relationship, their loyalty to their causes, and their understanding of the Force. Could their star-crossed connection be tied to the fate of the galaxy? This is a slow burn! Enemies to friends to lovers.

All plot elements are intended to be canon-compliant through TLJ. This is 100% complete.

In a galaxy divided by war and haunted by ancient secrets, the story of Kodo becomes a legacy embodied by three figures, each reflecting an aspect of who he once was-a Jedi, a betrayer, and a father. Kodo was born of mysterious origins, stripped of his past, and molded into a Jedi of rare skill and potential. Known for his masterful command of lightsaber combat and guided by esteemed mentors like Master Tholme and Battlemaster Skarch Vaunk, Kodo became a celebrated warrior and a disciplined defender of the Force. But within his disciplined heart lay shadows-shadows that would reshape his destiny. As his mastery grew, so did Kodo's curiosity about the forbidden knowledge hidden within the Jedi Order. Underneath his silent, ominous black robes, he harbored doubts about the very ideals he was sworn to protect. The secrets he unearthed led him to question the Jedi way and ultimately cast him into darkness. Assuming the mantle of Mortifex Umbra, he became a menacing presence, wielding a dual-phase purple lightsaber with deadly precision. Known as "Lord Mortifex" by allies and enemies alike, Kodo shed his former self to embrace a path that blurred the line between justice and vengeance. Yet, even as he drifted away from the Order, traces of Kodo's humanity persisted. In hidden moments with Liora, he found love, and their child became a symbol of a life he could never fully embrace. Sent to his family on Chandrila, his daughter became a legacy he could not protect but deeply loved. His secret bond with her and his unfulfilled role as a father became a quiet wound, a reminder of the sacrifice he bore to carve out his own path.

Forlorn | Anakin Skywalker

4 parts Ongoing Mature

A world where even the stars shed tears, a dark realm built upon the bones of a glorious era. Once Vallora, the sacred cradle of creation, it became the eternal prison of Anakin, the Fallen God. Consumed by betrayal, he forged the Vampiric Empire, sustained by the blood of those he once vowed to protect. Millennia hardened his heart, turning love and hope into forgotten echoes, while humanity, shadows of their former greatness, crawl beneath the rule of his corrupted creation. Yet, in the abyss that consumes him, an echo lingers: the promise of a lost love, the fragile thread defying the void. When the past resurfaces to unearth ancient wounds, it is not redemption that awaits but a brutal confrontation between what was destroyed and what can never be restored.
