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.

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.

Anakin's Fortress - Book II (temporary cover)
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.Complete

SAVING THE DAMNED | ANAKIN SKYWALKER
A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored. Throughout the galaxy, many had heard the prophecy of the Chosen One. Since the discovery of Anakin Skywalker, a majority of the Jedi Order were convinced they'd found the one who'd bring balance to the Force. Instead, Anakin Skywalker caused the downfall of the Jedi and the rise of power for the Dark Side. With Darth Vader the Dark Side grew strong yet in the end, he killed the Emperor, not only redeeming himself but also finally restoring balance to the Force as the prophecy had foretold. But by the time balance was restarted it was already too late... The Dark Side of the Force had a grip on the galaxy that the Light simply couldn't match. The only way balance could be restored was by making that Anakin Skywalker fulfilled his role as the Chosen One without falling into darkness first. [TIME TRAVEL AU]Complete

Star Wars: Exodus

Night & Star, Vol #1: The Clone Wars
(I do not own Star Wars, the only thing I do own are my OCs. This story takes major inspiration from FanFiction.Net/Wattpad story: 'Legacy of Jarik Shan V2: The Clone Wars. Work done by @TheTruMan_196 (I HIGHLY encourage reading his stories). Also, out of all my stories this one I may have the most difficult time updating, but I promise I will do my best to update as soon as possible and make each chapter enjoyable for old and new Star Wars fans. It also takes some parts from other fanfictions (mainly in certain chapters), however it will have MANY differences from all these stories and it will have my own flares of writing, and overall a different plot for my character's journey through the Star Wars franchise.) The galaxy in turmoil! As the clone war rages on, Jedi Grand Master Yoda has taken on a new Padawan named Ausar Vizsla. A human of Mandalorian descent and possessing a rare, deep connection to the Force. This Padawan will endure many hardships of war and not only face the challenges of battle, but also the mystery of who he really is.
a force bond | anidala au
Luke and Leia were about to turn four years old, and Padmé was desperate to have Anakin back. She was desperate to turn the sad & lonely Darth Vader into the man she once knew as Anakin Skywalker. She wasn't giving up. Padmé was lucky enough to even be alive, Bail Organa and Obi-Wan stored her in frozen carbonite to rejuvenate her health, she only just got out of it recently. highest ranks: #3 in #padme #5 in #leiaskywalker #19 in #anidala disclaimer; -this was made before that last season of tcw came out, and along with the bad batch, and the mandalorian season. ahsoka's timeline might be iffy. -i personally have not made any characters in this story, they all belong to george lucas, and if i do make one, i'd tell you. -this is an au so some things may be incorrect, but it's alright. ITS AN AU!! -vader's suit is simply just armour, not a life support.. since in this story he did not burn back on mustafar. -padmé is indeed a force sensitive in this story, that's how they have this connection. she may have less than anakin and obi-wan but she still obtains the power. -spelling may be a problem but it'll be checked once it's officially doneComplete
