silvereddaye: Day 1: “I did it for you!” Summary:  Vader has been summoned by the Emperor to return to Imperial Center, a place Vader has been avoiding since he handed Luke over to his master. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - Vader walked down the loading ramp of his shuttle. There was no greeting party, not like he wanted one. He made his way alone through the Imperial Palace. The few aids he saw, all quickly moved out of the way. The stormtroopers were silent and unmoving at their posts. He didn’t acknowledge them as his thoughts were elsewhere. He had been summoned away from his fleet, away from hunting down the Rebels … from hunting down his daughter. Once he found her, she would join him and together they would … There was a heavy weight in his chest. They would what? No. She would not join him. Not like Luke had agreed to. Luke with his blue eyes so much like his had once been. Blue eyes that had looked at him so softly, much like a Nubian senator had, and said he would go with his father. Blue eyes that had silently pleaded with that same father to help him as Force lightning tore through him. Blue eyes that had been glazed over and lifeless the last time Vader had seen them from behind the ray shield of a cell. Luke had agreed to come with Vader but had not agreed to turn to the Dark Side, especially as the Emperor’s apprentice. And he had been punished for it. He should have been killed as if the Emperor would allow such a strong Force user to live who wasn’t devoted to him. But Luke’s slow torture was also torture for Vader, so he had fled unable to look at his son’s fading blue eyes. He ran away to his fleet and buried himself in his work hoping to escape, but he hadn’t. The Force carried the echoes of Luke’s screams across the lightyears. One time a faint call had risen up to answer them. It wasn’t Vader. It was her. His daughter. He had a daughter. In a single moment, Vader’s purpose had changed. It had happened before when a bounty hunter uttered the name ‘Skywalker.’ He would find her, just as he had Luke. He wouldn’t turn her over to the Emperor. Not this time. Together they would– His thoughts cut off as he arrived at the turbolift that would take him to the throne room. The doors slid open and he entered. The first thing he noticed upon exiting was the lack of guards. There were almost always guards. The Emperor loved his displays of power. His little reminders he was in control. Even if it was a meeting between just the two of them … unless … things were going to get personal. Read the rest on AO3 // FF.net @angstober // Prompt List // @x-tober -- source link
