#Anakin/Padme

[tranakin-skywalker]

It’s a lazy morning, the likes of which they rarely get. But with the end of the war so close, Padmé dares to hope for more mornings like this. Waking up lazy and happy and safe, her husband curled around her side and not off fighting a war he has no say in.

Three years ago it felt like a dream, but today she can practically taste the hundred mornings she’ll have just like this.

Hopefully with less datawork, though.

Padmé scrolls through her senate reports, trying to ignore the way they make anxiety knot up inside her chest. There is a slope the Republic is slipping down, and she fears she won’t know how steep it is or how deep it goes until they finally hit the bottom.

Her husband’s face pressed against the side of her belly is so much more pleasant to focus on. He hums sweet nothings to it, the naked metal of his right hand brushing tender fingers over her nightgown. It’s a lullaby he’s singing, she thinks, but she doesn’t recognize the words. It’s in a language she’s only heard him speak a handful of times, so much softer and sweeter than Huttese could ever sound. She likes his voice when he speaks it.

“What are you doing?” she murmurs, no longer able to focus on her reports.

The hand against her stomach pauses. "I want them to know I'm here, that I love them.” She can feel Anakin swallow, his throat bobbing against her side. Softly, he adds, “I want to make sure they know my voice… just in case.”

It breaks her heart, hearing him say things like that. Implying in any shape or form that he might die out there fighting. That he might ever die at all. She cannot imagine her life without him.

The hand not holding her datapad finds his scalp. Padmé runs her fingers through his hair, savoring the feeling of him there, beside her. Where he is supposed to be.

“They’ll know you,” she promises. 

Anakin hums, the sound reverberating against her stomach. She feels the baby inside her shift. His thumb starts rubbing soothing circles over it again, and the movement inside her settles.

“I never thought I’d get to be a father,” he whispers, soft enough she almost misses it. “Even as a kid, back on Tatooine, I just... it wasn't something I thought I'd be able to have.” The metal fingers press in a little firmer. Not painful, never painful. Just holding her in that desperate, adoring way of his. Like he can’t quite believe that she’s real. Like she’ll disappear between his fingers if he doesn’t hold in. 

“I wanted to, though,” he continues. “Be a dad.” The next breath he takes shudders out of his chest. “I thought the closest thing I would get was having a padawan. And even that... I didn't think the council would let me... let me take on a padawan..."

Hurt lingers in the silence. Padmé knows he’d been so terrified when he was first given Ahsoka. Scared out of his mind that he was going to ruin her, somehow. She thinks there’s a part of him that thinks he did. That blames himself for what happened. 

"We need to tell Ahsoka when she gets back…” he finally says, fingers curling. “She needs to know she's going to be a big sister."

@padme-amidalanaberrie asked for some soft Anidala so here you go

[mega-ringsandthings-world]

Hey, does anyone here remember the part in the Clone Wars movie where Obi-Wan straight up asks Anakin "what would Padme do if she were here?" And Anakin looks down and goes "she'd do her duty" and then he goes and does his fucking duty. So. Yeah. Because I remember that and I'm not at peace. Bro. like there is so so much in that scene and people do not talk about it enough and people overlook and misinterpret and straight don't understand a fucking thing about Anakin and Padme's relationship and fuck it's all right there, "she'd do her duty" and then Anakin goes and does his duty because that's what she'd do even though she might be dead on the sands behind them and he keeps on doing that keeps on leaving her in the sands behind him until the day it gets too much and fuck me-

Hymn of the Gods Chapter 8 - You're My Head, You're My, a star wars fanfic | FanFiction

[rainintheevening]

Elend and Vin are like the gender-swapped Anakin and Padmé.

[kittystargen3]

Story Summary: Alternate Universe- What if Anakin's mother survived and Anakin never went dark side. Padme has the twins on Tatooine and survives. Anakin tries to help the surviving Jedi, while still keeping his family secret. Meanwhile Darth Sidious has been crowned emperor and is going after the remaining Jedi. Rumors have it he's looking for a new apprentice. Anakin gets to be a daddy.

I've published a 99th chapter to Return of the Survivors. Below is a small selection, but please do click on the links to read more.

Chapter 99 - Begging

“Angel Please,” Anakin begged.  If he was able to, he’d put down the commlink he was holding and bow before his wife’s holo.  He’d already explained to his wife about the risk to Tatooine, and sent a ship to pick them up.  His mother and step-family were already on their way out of the system.  

“Ani, this is the first time in all of its history an elected council has formed on Tatooine.  I can’t abandon it now.  We have massive evacuations to plan, and a refugee settlement to set up on Utaruun.  I have to make sure everyone gets transport offworld, even the Tuskens and poorer moisture farmers.  I will be there, once our work is finished.  I promise.”  Anakin nodded.  He knew his wife would try to get out, but he also knew she wouldn’t leave anyone behind either.  It was one of the reasons he loved her, but today, it made him worry.  He would worry until he got that message from the rebellion officers saying his wife was in transport offworld.  

“I understand.  Hurry, okay.” 

“Okay love,” Padme blew a kiss at the holo, and then with a blink, she vanished.  

Anakin ran to another room, and instructed the men who were working, “Tell me you have news.”  

“No sir, not yet.” 

Anakin had sent a team in to verify intelligence they were receiving from the rebellion, suggesting the Death Star 2.0 was unfinished, and still inoperable.  He sighed at the lack of news.  “Alright.”  It was looking like they were going to have to leave to attack it soon, even without the data.  Especially when an Imperial Flagship was detected on its way to Geonosis.  

The door opened and a gray-haired Obi-Wan walked in.  Anakin knew why he was there.  He left the men at their info-booth, and walked towards the Master.  “No news yet.  You have any luck?”  

Obi-Wan put on a very tight face, and responded.  “No.  Satine is determined to start a government on a soon to be dead world.”  

“Uh huh.  Padme too.  Well hopefully we will be able to do something about that soon.”...

I don’t know how you’d do it but I have an intense desire for Padmé and Anakin to do the “my husband and I noticed your vibe from across the bar…” thing to Obi-Wan.

[brightestorangedawn]

This is genuinely the only good fic I've ever written in my entire life. Of course it's a Vaderdala thing :')

Tip of the Tongue (read on Ao3)

Summary: On Naboo, Padmé shares her favourite dessert with Anakin. Vader is haunted by the memory of it.

Relationship: Anakin x Padmé, Vader x Padmé

Warnings: None really.

The dead of night. Vader, alone.

In the gloom nothing but the noise of labored breathing. In, out. In, out. Over and over, again and again. Harsh and ragged, mechanical sound. Its drone was a curse to anyone who heard it. Even him. Especially him.

His breathing slowed. His heart rate came to match. He relished the fall into nothingness. Away from injury. Away from himself. If he could only split apart, atom by atom. The dream: to become nothing completely.

In, out. In, out. Over and over, again and again. Machines keeping a machine alive, hate the only fuel of the man still dwelling within. Prisoner of charred flesh floating in his own dark ocean. Acid taste on the tip of his tongue.

And then the sound of birds. Oh, the sound of birds. Mercy. He had fallen away again. Five minutes of Anakin once more. Five minutes of … but he could not bear her name.

In the summer sun the lake at Varykino always shimmered silver. This was one of the facts Anakin had come to learn in the handful of days he’d spent there since his marriage. Never a week all at once, no—days snatched here and there over the course of months. Stolen time was what Anakin's marriage was made of. That, and the hole in his chest whenever she wasn't around; a pain worse than losing his arm. He vowed he would lose every part of himself if it meant he wouldn't lose her . 

But Anakin would lose her, a big part of him feared it and a smaller part knew it. Their time together was short, darling buds blooming in the brief span of summer, and one day he would wake up and it would all be …

No. Stop it. This was a happy memory . Remember how happy Anakin was ? (Read more here)

this man is a fucking mess

[randomguyonline71]

Another passage from the TPM novel that I love:

Anakin stood at the base of a temple column, still trying to come to terms with Padme's revelation. Everyone had been surprised, of course, but no one more than he. He wasn't sure how he felt about her now, knowing she wasn't just a girl, but a Queen. He had declared he would marry her someday, believing it so, but how could someone who had been a slave all his life marry a Queen? He wanted to talk to her, but there wasn't any opportunity for that here.

He supposed things wouldn't be the same after this, but he wished they could. He liked her as much now as he had before, and to tell the truth he didn't care if she was a Queen or not. He glanced over at the girl and the Jedi Knights and thought how different things were here than they had been on Tatooine. Nothing had worked out the way he had hoped for any of them, and it remained to be seen if leaving his mother and home to come with them was a good idea after all.

Clan Kryze celebrates the romantic holiday of All Hearts Day in a variety of ways. A really fluffy “She Said the Word” AU fic.

I don’t even really like Valentine’s Day, but I wrote a Valentine’s fic, anyway. Enjoy the saccharin sweetness.
