Title:
You'll Like Me When I'm Dead
Author:
Jade_Max
Characters:
Darth Vader, Padmé Skywalker, Asajj Ventress
Genre:
Dark Drama, Angst, Dark Romance, Action
Era:
Post RotS AU
Summary:
Suit-less Vader has learned that Padmé has survived and is determined to install her in her rightful place by side...
Notes:
This plot bunny was given to me by
Daenarrah
, and I can’t thank her enough for the ideas; she has been and continues to be a major influence in the development of this story to ensure that she gets what she wants as the plot bunny is something of a monster and quite a rabid one at that!
Note 2:
This is
not
a Vader redemption fic. If you're looking for one, this is not the place for you.
Note 3:
Daenarrah
will now be keeping a PM list for this fic and it will be updated on the 1st and 16th of every month and the update will be noted in the topic line. If you'd like to be added to the list, please let us know.
You'll Like Me When I'm Dead
~*~*~*~
Introduction
~*~*~*~
It’s been twenty months since the creation of the Empire and the revelation of Palpatine’s new apprentice - the once charismatic Hero With No Fear. Fallen from light, Anakin Skywalker has embraced the very darkness he fought to destroy. In full command of his formidable abilities, and a face once known as a sign of hope, he has become a harbinger of death.
Padmé Naberrie Skywalker, having survived the birth of her twins but, having fallen into a coma immediately thereafter, has spent the months since her awakening searching for them. Disillusioned and embittered by the league of 2000’s lack of action and their reluctance to assist her in her search for her children, she’s turned her back on people she once considered her friends. On her own, and teamed up with unlikely allies, Padmé has taken up a campaign of her own against the Empire.
Her husband, once Anakin Skywalker and now known only as Darth Vader, continues his quest against the Jedi and brings her wrath down upon himself. Taking it upon herself to make his life difficult, Padmé has made it her life’s purpose to make him pay for the suffering and death he’s visited upon the galaxy.
Vader, while unknowingly being hunted by his wife, has been given orders by the Emperor that Asajj Ventress, the Force adept once apprenticed to Count Dooku, has been captured. Vader has been dispatched to eliminate her once and for all. But he has plans of his own with regards to the Force adept, for rumors of his wife’s survival have filtered to the Dark Lord and he’s shifted his focus and vowed to bring Padmé back to his side to take her rightful place as his consort...

RE: You'll Like Me When I'm Dead - Epic Dark Drama
~*~*~*~
Chapter 1
~*~*~*~
ZJ7 Mining Platform, Kuati Sector - Month Twenty, Day Four Post Empire Formation (PEF)
Ice and fire.
Steam.
The planet was little more than a ball of super heated gas with two poles of opposite temperatures and several mining platforms to harvest the mineral rich atmosphere. The name, ZJ7, was more a designation than a name, indicating its importance on the galactic scale. On the edge of the Kuati sector, ZJ7 was home to no indigenous life and held no promise for terraforming. It was a pitiful planet, a desolate planet and one Darth Vader had never had any intention of ever visiting.
He shouldn’t have been so surprised to find her here.
Gloved hands were folded loosely at the small of his back as he stared out at the swirling gray mists that represented what passed for a view in the main room of the only habitable mining platform. It was a room he’d...
acquired
from the forthcoming citizen. The man had been a fool to deny him and a suitable replacement would be found before they departed orbit.
One finger absently tapped on the back of the opposite hand as the silence of the platform, contrasted by the ultrasonic rumble of the engines he could feel in the soles of his boots, seeped into his mind.
Silence.
Complete and utter silence was such a rare and beautiful thing. It allowed one to examine one’s decisions, to plot a course and determine a correct course of action. It allowed for clarity of thought and vision, and the chance to mentally regroup when faced with a choice of some magnitude.
The finger tapped again - and this was a choice of some magnitude.
On one hand was his Master, the Emperor - a man he hated more than any other being in the galaxy - who had given him an order. On the other hand was the possibility of the ultimate personal gain. Disobeying this one command for the chance and obtaining the one thing that he desired most in the entire Galaxy. The one thing that had slipped through his grasp when he’d had the chance to keep it. The one thing he would risk his life, his position, his very career for. The one thing that completed him above all others and gave him purpose not derived from hatred; his wife - Padmé Skywalker.
She’d slipped through his fingers, stolen by his old mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his child had slipped away with her.
He’d been told she was dead. He’d mourned her, grieved for her and carried her in the corner of his heart untouched by darkness like a beacon. A beacon for what he didn’t know, but a beacon none the less. Her death had driven him to make the Jedi pay for that crime alone.
And now, when things were starting to prove fruitful, she’d reappeared. She’d stepped out of his dreams and into his private psyche like a taunt, daring him to come after her. He’d rejoiced, thinking she would come to him, but she hadn’t. She’d ignored his overtures completely.
Fingers clenched as suppressed rage was simmered and harnessed for the upcoming confrontation. No one, not even his wife, could be allowed to refuse a summons by the Dark Lord of the Sith.
A hissing sound of the doors opening brought his attention back to the present. The humming of the special binders echoing through the room, unnaturally loud even over the firm steps of his personal guards.
“The prisoner, my Lord.”
“Thank you, Captain. Did you disarm her as asked?”
The Captain stepped forward and placed the weapons on the ledge of the viewport, “She was armed only with these.”
“Leave us, Captain.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
The sound of fabric rustling indicated the officer’s bow, a move reflected in the viewport’s surface, before departing. Vader focused his attention through that reflection on the creature who’d been brought before him in binders. The door opened and closed behind the officer, leaving Vader and his prisoner alone.
The lighting was poor, but the pale cast to his prisoner’s skin shone like a light in the darkness, giving him a full view of her insolent visage even as it kept his own cloaked in mystery. His lips twisted. Excellent; she wouldn’t recognize him.
“Traitor.”
She stiffened, her shoulder squaring back as her dark eyes flashed fire towards his back. Good. She wasn’t broken, simply subdued. Force-suppressing binders did that to an adept.
“Did you know that’s what they’re calling you in the Emperor’s court now?”
She said nothing, waiting; and he knew she was waiting for him to turn so she could spit in his face. A face she hadn’t seen in a long time and one she wouldn’t likely be happy to see again. In fact, he was counting on it.
He kept his back to her, tapping his finger against his glove again. “I’ve been ordered to eliminate you, Asajj Ventress; you’ve become something of a liability to the Emperor.”
“Then why wait, errand boy?”
Vader’s lips thinned, but he kept his tone pleasant. “I have a further use for you, one that you will enjoy far more than your execution. Of course, if you prefer to die, that can also be arranged.”
Her head tilted suspiciously, but he had her attention. Her words hissed from between clenched teeth, “I’m listening.”
“You have proven to be reckless and impulsive but ruthless. Your skills are still lacking, likely never completed since the demise of your Master, and your swordsmanship is child’s play. Against a truly powerful Jedi opponent you would never come out alive.”
“I’m not here to listen to your insults, little man!”
“You will listen,” his voice dropped to a deadly almost-whisper, “because it is
my
wish. I am the hand that holds your life. You live or die at my whim.”
“Then make your point!”
“My point is this; I can train you. You have skills in espionage and hunting that I require. In exchange you will become my pupil and I will let you live.”
She spat on the floor somewhere behind him. “I could never take the teachings of someone who had once been all that I despise. A traitor who turned on his own people because he wanted something that was beyond his reach only to become my
ally
.” The way she said it made it sound like an insult.
He turned finally, a sinister smile splaying across his lips, a gleam in his eyes that had warned many an opponent they had met their end. “I chose the winning side from the start, Asajj. Unlike you, I was never a separatist; in fact, I’m the one who brought about their downfall. They pleaded for their lives, begging like undisciplined children as I meted out the very justice they sought to impose on others. The temple younglings died with more dignity.”
Asajj strained against her binders, struggling to break free, a murderous intent in her eyes. “You betrayed everything you ever cared for Skywalker and you were a Jedi before you ever became Sith! You don’t deserve the mantle of Sith Lord; you’re little more than the puppet of a man who’s vision happens to include your continued existence.”
“I have a purpose; you have a hand to mouth survival.”
“You ruined my life!” She practically screamed the words.
“No,
you
ruined your life - by choosing to run and hide instead of facing the consequences of your choice. Dare you face them now, like the Sith you claim to be?”
“Release me and I’ll show you what it is to be Sith!”
Her binders dropped to the ground as Vader touched the remote at his wrist, taking two steps back from her lightsabers, and crossing his arms over his chest. “I’m waiting.”
Asajj exploded into motion, the lightsabers leaping from the ledge to land in her outstretched palms and ignite immediately. She screamed at him incoherently. Drawing on her rage to fuel her style, she drove straight at Vader. Both lightsabers, point in, diving straight for his heart.
Vader didn’t so much as twitch as his single red blade snapped to life to deflect the blows easily. He paired calmly, a flicker of fire in his eyes the only sign he was involved at all as Asajj rained blow upon blow down on him.
She twirled about him like a top, hacking from all angles, diving in with her blades from opposite sides. “Passivity is a trait for weaklings, Skywalker! Fight me!”
“When you begin to fight, let me know and I’ll oblige you.”
She shrieked, coming in with a double attack that would have caught most opponents off guard.
But Vader wasn’t most opponents. He continued to parry her blows easily, his calm response infuriating her more than his taunts from before. He remained focused as she expended her energy.
Continuously.
Relentlessly.
Tirelessly.
“Do you feel that lethargy, Asajj?” Vader met up an upsweep before twisting his blade to lock her second one near their center. “That’s weakness. That’s failure. That’s the reason why the Emperor wants you dead.”
She struck again, leaping upwards and coming down with a double bladed chop that he simply side stepped to avoid. Her sabers moved up, then down, continuing to work his defense but getting nowhere.
Tired of the game, he countered suddenly, sending one of her blades wide and then the other in the opposite direction. Ducking inside her range with ease, he lashed out with his foot, catching her in the stomach and sending her flying back into the wall.
Asajj, to her credit, kept her feet, staggering as she did. Her blades remained at the ready as he closed in again, taking the initiative. She dodged out of the way, barely avoiding the vicious swipe at her neck. Rolling, she'd barely made her feet when he was on her again.
Vader's crimson blade dived in, stopping just short of her breast a heartbeat before her lightsabers twisted upwards and out, throwing off the attack.
But the knowledge that he could have killed her in that moment was reflected in her eyes. They narrowed, burning with an intense hatred and denial that made his smile become all the more sinister. His lightsaber struck quickly, leaving behind a shower of sparks as it slid up her blade and threw it backwards. A twist of his wrist sent it flying. Her remaining blade came up, a flash of light that sizzled towards his head.
He ducked, twirling once before slamming his leg into both of hers and sending her crashing into the ground. She didn't roll, bringing her lightsaber to bear as she parried the blade driving towards her neck.
A moment before the blades connected, Vader reversed the stroke, the blade dipping down to sizzle for the briefest of moments against her shoulder.
Asajj screamed; denial and pain mingling in her voice as she threw off his attack and rolled to her feet. Vader anticipated her move, blocking her in with impossibly fast strikes. She parried, getting a nick on the arm for her trouble, only to find his blade was everywhere and nowhere at once. She couldn’t keep up.
She dove upwards, spinning into the air to slash at him as she fought to gain ground and catch her breath.
Bolts of blue-white lightning struck her as her toes touched the ground, propelling her backwards towards the viewport. She dropped her lightsaber as her muscles convulsed, the electrical charges playing havoc with her nervous system. She dropped to the floor, her fingers clutching the ledge of the viewport for support only to find no purchase as she slid to the ground.
Her screams mingled with the crackle of electricity for long moments before he dropped his hand. Vader shut off his lightsaber, taking the time to hook it to his belt as he strode towards where she lay limply against the wall. Kneeling, he reached out to grab her chin in one hand and he saw himself reflected in her eyes; could see the hatred she bore him, and he smiled a charming smile. “The Emperor has asked me to kill you, Asajj. I have chosen to spare your life - for now."
"I'll never help you, Skywalker."
He backhanded her casually before grabbing her chin in a brutal grip once more. "Has your personal quest against the Jedi been going so well you’d turn me down without hearing what I offer?”
She could do little more than stare at him as her muscles refused to obey her commands. She was beaten. Not even the Force answered her call; not with such a powerful presence in such close proximity and her own abilities practically nullified by the casual throwing of a few Sith lightning bolts.
Vader continued, taking her silence for acquiescence, able to read her expression far more easily than she wanted. “I intend to keep you alive, Asajj. You see, you have certain skills that will be very useful to me. Your hatred for the Jedi, your desire to see their downfall and the downfall of those who would associate with them are key. I have three problems, all of which you can help me with.”
His grip eased somewhat, though his gaze remained hard and steady. “You will help me track down and identify the traitors to the Empire, these so called Alliance members. You will help me stop this Jedi hunter, the one who warns Jedi
and
you help me locate Padmé.”
Her lips finally answered her call to respond, the muscles twitching even as she forced her voice to remain steady. It was a small victory - the only one she could claim. “At what price?”
His eyes narrowed for a moment - had she hesitated just a fraction before replying? “Whatever price I choose. To start, I’ll let you live.”
“I’d rather die than help you.”
“There are worse things than death.” He ducked his head so they were almost nose to nose, and eye to eye. She attempted to look away, as if knowing what she'd see in his gaze and Vader grasped her face in a brutal grip, crushing her cheeks as he forced her to remain still.
His voice was a low, menacing whisper when he continued. "And there are things that will make you wish for death before I am through with you. I’m not one to throw away assets, Ventress; but either way I will get what I want.”
The momentary turmoil in her gaze was as rewarding as watching it be swept away by reluctant acceptance. Asajj nodded once and his grip released immediately.
He rose to his feet, giving her room, a pleased smile on his face as he extended his hands. Her lightsabers leapt from the floor where they'd fallen. “Excellent. A word of caution, before you leave.”
Asajj regarded him warily as she hauled herself to her feet with the help of the viewport ledge.
"Double cross me and you'll wish I'd killed you today."
She nodded, anger flaring to life in her eyes for a brief moment only to be subdued quickly. “Of course, Master.”
Vader reached out and clipped the lightsabers back to her belt with a flick of his wrists. He offered no support, and she truly expected none. On shaky legs, she turned and left, stumbling in a humiliating fashion as she reached the door.
His lips twisted into a smirk as she disappeared. Asajj would serve her purpose until his own had been achieved. Once she’d outlived her usefulness, he’d consider fulfilling the Emperor’s orders. Until that time came, she would prove a useful distraction.

Ooohhh what an amazing start!
I love the way Vader
"convinced"
Asajj to help him.
It should be interesting to see how that works out.
Great beginning - I'm looking forward to more

Yay I'm glad that you're writing another Anakin/Vader/Padme story!
I'm really liking this dark Vader you've got going here and I like that this isn't going to be a redemption fic because sometimes you gotta love a bad Sith like Vader just the way he is
(and it helps that he's suitless
).
I can't wait until the next post and see when Vader finds Padme.

I can't wait to see how the whole Ventress/Vader dynamic is going to work. There's

RE: You'll Like Me When I'm Dead - Post RoTS AU - Epic Dark Drama
I haven't posted here in a long time, but I wanted to stop by and say hi and thank everybody who's read and commented. Jade and I have had a blast working on this fic together. It's been a wonderful collaboration. She's added her own influences and ideas that have really helped shape this fic and make it what it is. I hope everybody enjoys what's to come.
Jade said it best; we'll be exploring things that we haven't seen a lot of in fan fic. Our angle and approach, we feel, is a bit different from the norm. And it's been fun!
I'll be popping in every now and then, when RL and school allows me. But again, thanks everybody for the comments. It feels good to know you all enjoy what we've come up with. And thanks to you, Jade, for the opportunity to collaborate on this rabid frothing bunny that has left plenty of bite marks so far. This fic wouldn't be half of what it is without you.

I have just been back to this site after a long time. I starting reading this and was so happy that I have found my way back to SW fiction. This story has an amazing start and I have to say that dark Anakin/Vader is very intriguing. I love it and can't wait for the updates. Wonderful writing!

KELIA
– Thanks
Vader is just a nasty. Evil man – and that will play out throughout... Asajj as his “apprentice” is a lot of fun
for us anyway
randomangel22
– lol this is very different from any Anakin/Vader/Padmé story I’ve ever written before, that’s for sure. Kinda a “Smuggler!Padmé “ Evil Anakin cross breed *laughs*
I'm really liking this dark Vader you've got going here and I like that this isn't going to be a redemption fic because sometimes you gotta love a bad Sith like Vader just the way he is (and it helps that he's suitless )
LOL! Exactly… exactly! Sithly Vader is awesome... and will continue to be so
Darth_Leia_6669
– Thank you. I hope we can keep the action as intriguing as it is to start throughout
Lady_Skywalker87
– Thanks!
canadianjedimama
– The Vader/Ventress dynamic is a powerful one – but this story is absolutely chalked
full
of twists and turns, so I don’t think everyone will be expecting what happens and that is part of the fun
In fact – we fully expect our readers to be screaming bloody murder by the end of this *laughs* so we’ll see what happens
Daenarrah
–
You said it, girl! This fic is awesome and the bunny gets more and more fluffy the longer we brain storm. You’re a doll for giving me a chance to work with you on this
penpadme
– Welcome back to ff.net – and thanks for jumping into something that’s going to be a wild ride. Thanks for reading!
Mira_Jade
