Obi Wan Kenobi was dead.

Obi Wan Kenobi was dead, and Anakin Skywalker, now called Vader, came to in his bacta tank knowing that he had killed him.

It should have felt better.

There was gone the last chain tethering him to his lost youth, there was gone his once brother, now nemesis, there was gone the man who had left him in this half-machine state. Lord Vader had had his revenge.

Anakin Skywalker felt empty.

He had dreamed of it for years, spent two decades imagining what it would be like. It should have brought joy, elation. More even than the thundering, rapid pleasure the Sith had a taste in. Peace.

This is the man who you can blame for the death of Padmé, he tried to remind himself. The hole that was remained where Obi Wan's presence had been whispered back: you, your choice, killed her.

There was only Anakin Skywalker to take the blame. For everything.

#did I just write a fanfic? seems so #this is inspired by that post I don't remember which that said Vader must have felt really disappointed after killing Obi-Wan #because he had spent so much time focused on him and it didn't solve his problems #don't worry he'll soon change his mind and start blaming palpatine for all his mistakes (partly right tbh)#and try to find his son and overthrow him because one needs a goal in life #...I suppose this is happening sometime between 4 and 5 #after Vader has had his first opportunity to properly rest since the Death Star escape business #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #darth vader #star wars #star wars fanfiction #fanfic #my post
