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.

11 parts Complete
In a galaxy teetering on the brink of chaos, Shadows of the Force explores an alternate timeline where Anakin Skywalker survived the Battle of Endor and sought redemption. The novel intricately weaves together threads from the Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka, bringing beloved characters into a new era of turmoil. As the New Republic struggles to rebuild, Grand Admiral Thrawn, a master tactician, emerges as the greatest threat to peace the galaxy has ever known. The return of Anakin Skywalker has rekindled hope in the galaxy, but his past as Darth Vader casts a long shadow. With the Jedi Order beginning its rebirth under the guidance of Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, the stakes have never been higher. Facing both external battles and internal demons, Anakin is determined to prove the Jedi can be defenders of peace once more. But with Thrawn's brilliant strategies and Palpatine's sinister schemes lurking in the darkness, the galaxy's heroes are pushed to their limits. --- To Let You Know Shadows of the Force is a Star Wars "What If?" story, diverging from established canon. This novel imagines what might have happened if Anakin Skywalker survived Endor and returned to the light. The events of The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka remain intact, with key characters and developments playing a significant role: - Ahsoka Tano, along with Sabine Wren the droid Huyang, successfully returns from the other galaxy with Ezra Bridger after the events of Ahsoka. This novel celebrates the rich history of Star Wars while forging a bold new path, asking: What if the Chosen One had a second chance?

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.
Force Destiny by EdenWoodsParker
200 parts Complete
Immediately following the events of The Last Jedi, the battle for the galaxy continues between the First Order and the last of the Resistance. As the new Supreme Leader takes the throne, the First Order is focused on finding and destroying all who oppose them. The Resistance had disappeared into hiding and desperation has forced them to explore the gray areas of war. 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. This story continues the arcs and themes beautifully woven through The Last Jedi, as well as the narrative from the previous two trilogies. All plot elements are intended to be canon-compliant through TLJ. This is 100% complete. It was completed in December 2019 on A03 before The Rise of Skywalker was released, so this is not a "fix-it" fic as much as an alternative to Episode IX. This is a dark story.
