Excellent! It is all so real and harsh.

Anakin! To be so cruel to Padme...

angry angry angry

I know it could have been worse, but still. It seems he doesn't appreciate still finding her attractive.

I loved the dinner with Ta'a Chume

Great update, though I confess the image of Anakin, still damp from his shower, a white towel slung low across his hips had me distracted for quite awhile

His gaze is intent, cruel. "What you are," he says, "is a wife in name only." He steps closer again, forcing her to crane her head back to meet his gaze. "If you want your charity causes or to play hostess at fancy parties, that's fine. I will allow that. But you came here tonight wearing that dress like I'm still a boy and you still set the rules."

She tries to look away, but he grabs her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Never forget," he says, "that I am your Emperor and your husband. Everything you have – including your freedom – is at my discretion."


Just when Padme thought she was getting somewhere, Vader decides to surface to show that he is not easily manipulated. worried

This was the best chapter yet, I love how you remind the audience that Vader is still very much alive and well.

I did have to laugh when Luke came in on them. I can just imagine what he was thinking. laugh

First off, thank you so much for adding me to the PM list. hugs

Now for comments. happy

*re-reads last few dialouge lines*

Wow, I don't think Vader is going anywhere anytime soon. Still loved the scene between A/P.

laugh Poor Luke, interrupting his parents like that--I too would love to know what crossed his mind when he found them in a most interesting sorts. Gotta wonder where that boys been disappearing to though. Like many others I also have a theory as to where Luke is went to, but I'll hold my tongue until all is revealed.

Outstanding update, can't wait for more.

laugh Well Mas Amedda's plan just went down the drain now didn't it.

And wow what a moment between Anakin and Padme, but then Luke had to ruin it blush laugh .

But then Anakin had to ruin it again by totally saying stupid things to Padme and making their relationship worse than it already was rolling_eyes ...men.

Great post!

Wow, so much conflict between the couple. The Dress didn't quite work out the way Padmé hoped it would. Yet, it certainly triggered something in Vader. I think he was afraid of admitting the truth despite his harsh words to his wife.

And there's no denying the sexual tension. Poor Luke certainly had perfect timing. rolling_eyes We can only wonder how far things would have gone otherwise. Yah, the love scene was hot! mischief tongue

It's also sad Luke & Leia had no idea how much their parents were in love. I'm pretty sure they still are deep down, despite the emotional rollercoaster between them. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.

First - thanks for the PM add.

Second - Wow!!

I am glad you went with the black corset dress....I still think about that dress from the movies and it brought up some very nice images in my head while reading.

Also, I like how you bring us to the edge of thinking Anakin is beginning to fall for Padme's ploy and then WHAM! here comes Vader.

Nice work showing the duality of Anakin/Vader.

Thanks for the PM!

I love that Leia and Padme are finding some common ground in protecting their positions with Anakin it was sweet in a weird way. tongue I think you are capturing Luke perfectly!

I think its rather interesting that the twins didn't know the actual nature of Padme and Anakin's marriage. I would have thought they knew all about their parents relationship at this point. But, it does make sense that they wouldn't know because I can't imagine either Padme or Anakin for that matter telling them how their marriage came to be.

Padme got a rather rude awakening with Anakin, but I'd say it was probably a necessary one because she has to realize that whatever her plan originally entailed obviously didn't account for how much Anakin changed. I suspect at least now that she knows where she stands that it should be somewhat easier to adjust her plan. But, I'd bet she still has a long way to go.

The premise behind this story definitely isn't new but I really like what you've done with it

Just a thought though... if Vader doesn't care about any policy but military policy, then wouldn't Padme be the REAL power behind the empire? I mean sure... guns are guns, but Trade, Commerce, Currency, Taxation, Government Regulation, Environmental Policy, Social Services, Civil Rights... If Vader doesnt care about any of that then why doesn't she just go on and create UtopiaGalaxy?

He seems so confident about that that I'm almost certain that it will, somehow, someway, reverse and Padme is going to end up holding his leash. I guess I've always liked the notion of Philosopher-Queen Padme and Sith Lord Vader just because they make for such a black-and-white contrast.

The best part though, is when Padme sics Vader on someone that wants to upset the Utopia she's toiled to create.

ack! I was so excited there was another page, but then there was no post on it and my hopes were dashed. I too really like the Padme/Anakin scenes. Keep up the good work!
