I need fewer happy fix-it AUs where Anakin's just off doing the White Picket Fence thing with Padme and more where she's divorced him and he's run off to Tatooine and has shacked up with the Larses while he helps them with their abolition work.

I think it is beyond time that we as a fandom recognize that Padme IS NOT Anakin's happy ending and that the two of them quite genuinely just make each other worse and miserable, and what Anakin ACTUALLY needs to be happy is someone who isn't just going to enable him to be his worst self while still providing him a stable traditional family structure and the opportunity to face and overcome the demons of his past.
