You were his prised possession. The very reason he lived. When he first met you on Tatooine as a boy he decided then and there, thatyou’d be his.

When he went back years later to seek out his mother, he met you again. 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, he had decided. So he took you with him, despite what others thought.

Keeping you and him a secret was by far the hardest thing he had ever done. He was a very possessive man, and when anyone 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 flirt with you, it would take everything in him not to kill them then and there.

Obi-wan was aware of your relationship with Anakin and knew it wasn’t just some childhood nostalgic friendship. He knew, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. So when he went to Mustafar to stop him, he brought you.

You, scared and confused out of your mind, stayed on the ship until he and Obi-wan had finished fighting. When your heard the silence you ran out spotting him.

“Ani?” You wept tears falling down your tanned cheeks.

“Sweetheart what are you doing here?” He asked pulling your smaller body into his and wrapping his big arms around your little waist.

“Obi-wan brought me. W-Where is he” She cried clinging onto him.

“He had betrayed us. He’s to weak to understand my power. I have defeated the emperor, I know how the power to rule” he smiled menacingly placing your little head in his hands.

“Y-You’re gonna rule the galaxy?” You asked shocked.

“Me and you, side by side. I can finally treat you like the queen you are. I would never let anything or anyone hurt you. Do you understand sweetheart?” He said pulling you closer to him, if it were at all possible.

You nodded slowly taking in the information. “Y-You’d never hurt anyone, right Ani?” You asked innocently, leaning your head on his chest, the days events slightly tiring you out as your eyes grew heavy.

“Princess, the only time I’d ever hurt anyone is if they were hurting you. You understand that’s why’d I’d do it right?” He lied, knowing you’d believe him. He had to, you belonged next to him.

“I understand ani” you barely whispered, as you leant your body weight against him, feeling sleep wash over you.

“You must be so tired sweetheart, let’s go back to the ship, you need rest” he lovingly told you, but you were barely conscious at this stage. He picked you up  bridal style and you leant your head on his shoulder drifting off.

Here you were, one month later since that night. Anakin was right, he took care of you, treated you like a princess. You and hun ruled the galaxy, the emperor and his empress.

You were sat in his lap, your little head leaning against his chest as he explained his orders to his men in front of him.

It wasn’t unusual for you to be sitting on his lap while he worked, he told you it calmed him down.

As you leant your head on his big chest, you tried your best not to let your eyes close, feeling tiredness come over you.

You let your eyes wander around the room, trying to keep them open. You looked to the right, your body freezing when you saw a man, one of Anakins me staring at you, with a disgusting smirk on his face.

You didn’t know what to do, your body didn’t move an inch. Anakin frowned feeling the nerves radiating off of you.

He leant down and placed his hand over your face, before asking “what’s wrong baby?” With a deeply concerned expression.

“He’s staring at me ani…I don’t like it!” You whispered burying your small face in his chest to escape the man’s stare. Tears slowly fell down your cheeks.

All the men stopped talking and looked towards the two of you. They were waiting for the emperor to kill or torture someone. They had been warned their first day

Anakin looked up, glaring at the man with a look that cannot be explained. He picked you up, placing your head away from the men.

“If any of you leave this room before I get back I will kill you all” he said simply before turning and walking back to your shared headquarters.

Once arriving he placed you down into your big bed, leaning down and giving you a sweet kiss.

You willed your tears and looked up at him. “I’m sorry Ani I don’t know why I’m so emotional lately” you whispered staring at his hand you were holding.

“I think I know sweetheart but we’ll discuss it in the morning. Try to sleep and I’ll be back in a little while” he told you as he went to leave.

You gripped his hand that you had been holding, your big doe eyes looking up to his own dark ones

“Y-Your not gonna do something bad are you ani?” You whispered with a slight pout on your lips.

Anakij smirked at you innocent look. “I’m only gonna have a stern word with the men baby” he told you, tucking you into bed and kissing your forehead tenderly.

You nodded before sleep came over you, and you closed your eyes.

Anakin smiled contently before leaving the room, his smile turning to a glare as he made his way back to the meeting room.

When arriving he saw all his men standing with an extremely nervous look on their faces, two men holding the man who was looking at you earlier.

Anakin walked directly over to the men with a knife in his hand, plunging it into his chest.

“What did u tell you about looking at my wife. She’s mine!” He yelled out, his face scrunched up in anger.

Eventuallu he pulled out the knife from the man’s now lifeless body, letting it drop to the floor.

Anakin looked at the two guards near him.

“Clean up this mess. Let all of you see this as a warning, of what will happen to you if you so much as look at your empress” he spat, with pure rage in his tone.

He made his way back to your headquarters, changing into clothes without blood. He then climbed into bed with you.

“Ani? Is that you?” Your soft angelic voice said, as you turned over rubbing your eyes.

“Yeah it’s me baby, go back to sleep you tired yourself out today” Anakin said his hands going about both sides of your waist before pulling you up a little into his embrace.

You hummed burying your face into his neck

“Did you have a talk with the mean man” You asked, your voice laced with a little fear.

Anakin noticed this and frowned.

“Baby, you know I would have never let him hurt you. He’s dealt with, this won’t happen again” he softly told you, pulling you in closer trying to ease your worries.

“Ok ani” you said before you drifted back off to sleep, your mind now at ease.

caregiver!obi wan, babysitters!padmé and anakin (sfw agere)

my family and i are getting evicted, help us afford housing ➡️ ko-fi

you like to help him take care of his boo boos. bandaids and kisses on smaller boo boos. Nurse Little One when there's bigger boo boos

obi wan is so cuddly and sweet here, just completely all over you and obsessed with you. can't wait for jedi council meetings to end, observation trips, reports, literally anything. he's learned from anakin (although secretly) that having someone to come home to can be wonderful.

if you're an older kiddo, he loves showing you how to do some saber tricks with padawn training lightsabers. he always praises you and gently guides you to the right positions and posture.

you love to do his hair A LOT. clips in his beard, clips on his head, glitter literally everywhere. it's a good way for him to bond with you when he needs to rest.

you don't see anakin and padmé a lot but when you do, it's always soooo much fun!!

padmé loves to take you on nature walks, do your hair or dress you, take you swimming.

you and padmé love to feed the ducks fruits and veggies! you love pointing to them and shouting "duck! ducks!"

she'll ask you what colors they are, what sounds they make, and has you draw a pretty picture of the duckies you saw to give to obi wan!!

anakin absolutely loves rough housing with you, you're always safe and protected though, don't worry

you'll do fake lightsaber battles with anakin and he lets you win ajfhs

and when obi wan comes back, you immediately jump in his arms!! everyone else is forgotten, cause your cg is here!!

anakin and obi wan will hold your hands and swing you as you walk akdhs

obi wan let you pilot an aircraft once, once... never again akdjs

sometimes when everyone's together, there's lots of talk of war and politics and sometimes it means arguments. you hate them, it makes you cry. obi wan tries to shield you from it the best he can.

when all the bad stuff begins to happen, obi wan tells you everything in the most appropriate way he can. he tried his best to be reassuring and soft but a lot of raw emotions got in the way

obi wan keeps you away from the city. no matter your protests, he vows to keep you safe.

when he comes back, you become Nurse Kiddo again, tending to his wounds, giving forehead kisses cause obi is so sad :(

he tries to push you away but you don't take it one bit!! when yoda tells you obi wan's going to tatooine you immediately decide you're going, too.

you give forehead kisses and soft hugs to the babies, the twins, luke and leia.

on the trip to tatooine, you hold luke the whole way. everything else is so sad but luke is so silly and adorable! he helps a lot.

you both grieve and miss padmé and anakin. but luckily since you're together, it's not so bad.

[aurora-starwars]

I would just like to share with you all today that it is canon the Padmé Amidala has bad period pains

[luvthegame]

domestic hcs with padmé amidala!

warnings: none. just fluff hcs.

-padmé adores coffee, and she adores early mornings with you, before the bustling city of coruscant wakes up.

-whether you prefer coffee or tea in the morning, she’ll have it ready to go for you. she’s an early bird, already going over senatorial bills before you’re even awake.

-you however, are not an early bird. you wake up later than her, melting into her arms as soon as you get close. she peppers your face in kisses as you yawn.

-she likes when you’re sleepy, and she’ll tease you about it- “Look at you, sleepyhead.” she’ll giggle.

-when the handmaidens arrive to put her senate outfits together, you watch from the couch in awe at their skill.

-you and padmé spend late nights together, often spent in silence, each of you working on your respective assignments. the silence is comfortable, until it reaches the late hours of the night, when you know both of you should be asleep.

-you often find yourself dragging her to bed, and ending up a pillow for her highness.

-“I’m not tired, besides, this bill needs to be passed…”

-“sweetheart, come on. you’re exhausted.”

-after much convincing, you pull her into bed.

-padmé wraps her arms and legs around you, her long curls surrounding the two of you as you rest, and the cycle repeats.

Padmé Amidala x Reader: A Friend

Word Count: 572 Warnings: Angst, discussing family drama/incident, and Anakin may or may not be hiding under the desk the entire time. Summary: The Reader needs to talk to someone about something that upset them, so they go to their friend, Padmé.

~~~~  ~~~~  ~~~~  ~~~~

 Storming through the halls of the Senate offices, you had hoped to feel different. The familiar wall decor and overall atmosphere did little to curb your less than ideal mood. Rather than venturing to your own office, your legs lead you elsewhere.  The entry door hardly slid open before you began speaking. “Senator Amidala, please tell me you’re in here.” Your eyes frantically swept through the room.  “I’m here,” she said, walking over from behind her desk. “Is something wrong?”  The genuine concern she held made a part of you want to cry. It made you glad that she was more than just a fellow senator. She was a friend.  “It’s a personal matter, is that all right? If you’re not busy, I mean.”  She reached out to grab your hands, giving them a reassuring squeeze. “I’m never too busy for you. Tell me what’s bothering you.”  “I had taken some time to see my family, and it was going well…until it took an unexpected turn. It felt…random, almost.”  Padmé nodded slowly, encouraging, and you continued.  “I’ll keep it brief. One family member, who I love dearly, began to play music and dance. All by themselves they did this without a care in the world. Even the other’s pet watched, nodding their head to the music, the energy. It was cute. Neither of us had seen that before and laughed.”  “That’s adorable,” she smiled.  “It was. But when they, not the pet, left the room with the music, my other older family member turned to me. They wanted me to dance, but I said ‘no’. Their demeanor completely changed, saying that they had seen me dance before with my friends—which was years ago and was a celebration. They said this as if delighted that they had caught me in a lie. They were trying to use that as incentive—leverage to make me dance. As if with their words, I had no choice. It was so strange. I didn’t—don’t like it.”  Padmé’s attentiveness and soft voice helped soothe you through your vent. “I’m sorry you had to go through that. I know you had been looking forward to visiting them.”  You shrugged, “There are worse things.” You eyed her knowingly. “I’ll spare you my attempt of teaching accountability. Of how I feel as though I am only a source of information or entertainment for them. I mean—I’m not a dancing kowakian monkey lizard or something!”  Hands releasing yours, Padmé brought you into a warm hug. “Telling people what they don’t want to hear can be difficult. But it’s because we care—you care. And your feelings and how you wish to be treated—respected, matter too.” She leaned out of your embrace and looked directly into your eyes. There was so much compassion and understanding in her gaze that you wondered if there was an unspoken story hiding in there. “Thank you for trusting me with something so personal.”  You shared a smile. “Thank you for listening. It’s been gnawing at me for a while now. And as a friend…you said that I can come to you for anything.”  “I did, didn’t I?” She laughed with you until a faint thud sounded over from her desk.  Curiously, you looked over. You swore you heard a quiet curse. “Padmé,” you eyed her now stoic face with eyes that did not match, “is someone hiding under your desk?”

Coruscant seemed utterly silent that night, the invisible streets in the sky were almost empty except for a few speeders going back home from work — or the Maker only knew where. Padmé sat right by the window, admiring the starry sight that brightened space, before standing slowly with a low sight that seemed useful enough to relief whatever was going on in her mind, a bit at least. “Is everything alright, Mistress Amidala?” Threepio’s voice broke through the silence, making the woman suddenly snap back to reality. With a gentle expression while her eyes spoke with uncertainty, she gazed at him before looking back outside the window. “Anakin had been acting distant lately. It worries me.” Padmé admitted softly, her features hardened slightly in turmoil. Anakin had always been secretive when it came to out his emotions — however, lately, it only seemed to worsen.

“Perhaps Master Anakin is simply too involved in his work, I am sure nothing serious had happened. Rest assured, Mistress Amidala.” the droid’s voice, somehow, held a reassuring tone to it, even through all the coding and inalive protocols. “Overthinking, you say?” Padmé’s head turned slightly to look back at C3-PO, her brows furrowed in confusion. “Tiredness, maybe. You should rest, Miss. Your pregnancy status needs sleep. With your permission,” the droid concluded, bending in a mechanical way before disappearing out of the bedroom with a funky walk. Padmé sighed once again, her figure slowly making steps to walk out the bedroom and into the wide balcony it had. The wind brushed through her curls gently as she bent over the railing, her chin in the palm of her hand.

౨ৎ A FORBIDDEN ATTACHMENT.

੭୧ . . . anakin skywalker x female!jedi!reader.

ᯓ you have secretly loved anakin for years, but now he seems closer to senator amidala. fearing you will lose him to her and that he will only ever see you as a friend, you must decide whether to reveal your love for anakin or keep it hidden, regardless of the consequences.

warning(s) angst┆forbidden love┆jealousy┆defiance of rules┆emotional scenes┆suggestive scenes┆tension. 𓇼 this writing piece is old, from probably a month ago or so? but i've been wanting to rewrite it. with that said, if it seems like you've seen it before somewhere that's why. mature content!

　✧⠀ ⠀⠀　𓈒　⠀⠀ ⠀૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ꪆৎ masterlist.

you stood by the window in your quarters at the jedi temple, gazing out at the skyline of coruscant as the sun began to set. another day had gone by without anakin properly acknowledging how you felt about him. how long had you harbored these secret feelings for your best friend? ever since you were both padawans training under obi-wan after the sudden death of your master during the clone wars, you had developed a strong affection for anakin that went beyond friendship.

but he had always been oblivious to your subtle hints over the years. whenever you tried to flirt or get close to him, he seemed to interpret it as just platonic playfulness between friends. deep down, you knew attachment and romance were forbidden for jedi, which is probably why he never saw you as anything more than a sister. still, you couldn't help the way your heart fluttered whenever he smiled at you or the warmth that spread through your body during your rare embraces.

lately, anakin had been spending more and more time away from the temple with senator amidala. you tried to tell yourself it was just politics as usual between them, but a nagging jealousy stirred in your gut. the way he lit up whenever talking about padmé made you worry that perhaps his feelings for her had evolved beyond a professional relationship. you wanted so badly to confess how you felt to anakin, yet feared that your timing may be too late if he had already given his heart to another.

a knock at the door pulled you from your brooding thoughts. "come in," you called out, hoping it might be the one person you wanted to see. but to your slight disappointment, it was obi-wan who entered.

"master," you greeted him with a polite nod. 

"i was wondering if you've seen anakin this evening," said obi-wan. "he wasn't in his quarters."

you shook your head. "no, i haven't seen him since this morning. did you check the hangar? maybe he's tinkering with one of the speeders again."

obi-wan glanced thoughtfully out the window. "i have a feeling he might be with senator amidala. those two have been spending an unusual amount of time together lately."

his perceptive observation stung like a dagger. you dropped your gaze, not wanting obi-wan to see the hurt in your eyes. "perhaps he's seeking her counsel on a political matter," you suggested weakly.

"perhaps," obi-wan replied in an unconvinced tone.

a brief silence passed between you before he placed a comforting hand on your shoulder. "you care greatly for anakin, don't you?"

you looked up at obi-wan in surprise. have your feelings been so transparent? with a sigh, you decided there was no point trying to hide it anymore. "is it that obvious, master?"

he offered you a kind smile. "only to someone who knows you both very well. anakin is lucky to have your loyalty and affection."

"but he doesn't see me that way," you said sadly. "i think… his heart belongs to senator amidala now."

obi-wan considered this thoughtfully. "an attachment poses dangers for a jedi, as you well know. however..." he paused. "denying one's true feelings can be an even greater path to the dark side. perhaps it’s time you and anakin had an honest talk."

you knew he spoke wisdom, as he always did. steeling your nerves, you gave obi-wan a resolute nod. "thank you, master. i think you're right."

after he left, you grabbed your cloak and headed out into the gathering night. your feet carried you swiftly toward the senatorial apartments, hoping for some sign of where anakin might be. as you neared padmé's residence, you spotted a familiar tall figure emerging from the entrance.

"anakin!" you called out, hurrying over to him.

he turned with a surprised expression that melted into a smile upon recognizing you. "hey, what are you doing here?"

you gazed up meeting his eyes. "i was looking for you, actually. do you have a moment to talk?"

anakin seemed to sense the serious tone in your voice. "of course. is something wrong?"

gesturing to a nearby empty garden bench, you both sat facing each other. you took a deep breath, steeling your resolve. "anakin, we've been friends for such a long time. but i feel there's something important i've been hiding from you, and i can't do it anymore."

his blue eyes searched your face with concern. "you know you can tell me anything."

reaching out, you gently took his hands in yours. the contact sent a pleasant shiver through you, despite your nerves. "anakin, over the years my feelings for you have grown beyond just friendship. i care for you deeply." you swallowed hard, "i'm in love with you."

for a moment he went perfectly still, clearly caught off guard by your confession. you braced for his rejection, waiting for the inevitable letdown. but then his expression softened into something you hadn’t expected—fondness. 

"why did you never say anything before?" he asked quietly.

"i was afraid to lose your friendship if you didn't feel the same. and as jedi, we're forbidden from attachments..." your voice trailed off with uncertainty.

anakin squeezed your hands reassuringly. "i thought you only saw me as a brother. but the truth is...i've had feelings for you too for a long time."

your eyes widened in stunned disbelief. "really?"

a warm smile tugged at his lips. "really. i went to padmé tonight for advice because i wanted to find a way to tell you how i felt but was too afraid of being rejected."

joy and relief flooded through you in waves. leaning in, you rested your forehead against his, breathing him in with giddiness. anakin's arms circled your waist, holding you close.

in that perfect moment, nothing else existed but the two of you. for so long you had loved him in secret, never daring to dream he might love you in return. 

after a blissful minute, anakin drew back to gaze down at you tenderly. "the jedi code says we can't form attachments... but i can't deny what's in my heart any longer. i love you, y/n."

hearing those words from his lips was pure elation. you kissed him softly, pouring all your passion into the tender press of lips. anakin responded in kind, kissing you deeply and sweetly until you both had to pause for air. yet the kiss only spurred your desires higher, unleashing feelings you had bottled up for so long.

anakin cradled your face gently in his hands, resting his forehead against yours once more as you both caught your breath. "we'll have to keep this a secret from the jedi," he whispered, eyes full of longing and promise. "but i want to be with you. what do you say we try to make this work, no matter the difficulties?"

part of you knew hidden relationships went against the code and carrying on in secret would not be easy. but since when had rules and duty ever made you as happy as being in anakin's arms? you nodded, heart so full it could burst. "yes, my love, let's try. no one but us will ever have to know."

his answering smile was radiant, erasing any doubts. you both surrendered to the joy of your long-awaited love. unaware of the sacrifices and struggles you would face together to keep this bond hidden in plain sight of the jedi order.

from that night on, stolen moments between missions and rare passionate nights spent utterly intertwined became your secret tether to hold on amid the turbulence of war. any passerby would still see you as comrades, yet in private you explored a love so intense it threatened to consume you both with its forbidden bliss.

and for months, your secret was held. sneaking affections in shadowy enclaves of the temple, communicating via private holomessages during assignments apart, finding any excuse to briefly clasp hands or share a tender gaze - it was intoxicating to openly love each other yet keep the whole galaxy unaware. but as the war dragged on and took greater parts of yourselves, strain began to show in your carefully crafted ruse.

one evening after a harrowing campaign, you found anakin pacing your quarters with simmering turmoil in his eyes. "baby, i don't know how much longer i can go on like this," he declared as you embraced him tight. "pretending we're just friends tears me apart inside daily."

your heart ached at his distress. cupping his face, you met his gaze with steadying reassurance. "i know, my love. but we have no choice if we want to stay together. the code would never accept our attachment."

anakin shook his head severely. "to hell with the code. i'm done living a lie and being kept from you whenever the council desires. there has to be a way we can have our love freely, without deception."

you understood anakin's anguish all too well. carrying on your relationship in secret has taken its toll on you both. still, openly defying the council deemed impossible.

"we cannot abandon our duties as jedi," you said gently. "but maybe there is a compromise that satisfies our hearts without forsaking the order."

anakin met your gaze, curiosity replacing frustration. "what do you propose?"

taking his hands in yours, you told him of your idea. "we have proved ourselves as capable warriors. if we continue serving the republic with distinction, showing the council our love does not diminish our abilities, in time, they will come to accept what we cannot change."

he pondered your words, thoughtful. "you believe continuing to excel as jedi may sway them?"

you nodded. "the order values our skills over all else. as long as we give them no cause to doubt our dedication, their views could evolve."

your lover's countenance lifted, seeing promise in your plan. "it would mean enduring concealment a while longer. but your faith gives me strength, as always." his lips brushed your forehead. "we shall show the council that love and duty need not be opposed."

and so your secret romance endured, nourished by hope. through ever greater battles anakin fought at your side, shielding your beloved bond from all harm. your brilliant strategies together helped turn the war's tide.

word reached the council of your unparalleled coordination and courage inspiring clones and jedi alike. could their beliefs that attachment weakened a jedi be mistaken? only time would reveal if your love could truly prove itself a source of greater power, not liability, and earn the acceptance you sought.
