Prompt #1 please don't cry
Naboo hadn't felt the same without her next to him. But perhaps he was the one to blame. Darth Vader met with his own doing. It was his own fault for being trapped in a giant metal suit. Breathing had felt like a thousand pins pierced into him. Allthough he'd suppose he had done this to himself. Betray the jedi council all for love. How foolish had he been. Giving everything he had only to simply never have a chance at feeling it.
Darth Vader had seen a lot in his time. From the fall of the republic to the empires come back. He knew it'd only be a matter of time before everything brought balance. His prophecy.
The prophecy felt like a curse. The great Anakin Skywalker shall bring balance to the force. It was pathetic how a dead man could bring balance to the force. When he alone could hardly bring balance to himself. Falling into the grasps of Palpatine.
All his life he had been suffering. Would little Anakin still follow along if he knew he'd lose everything. His love of his life and everyone he had known. Perhaps it was a prophecy to those that believed in it. Darth Vader is not one of those people.
Yet a part of him knew he'd still go. He'd want to escape being a slave trapped from Tatooine. He should be happy not a lot of slaves were allowed to run free like he had been. Let alone become a Jedi.
He'd remember those times he'd win a pod race and everyone would be envious. The way shmi would hold her little boy.
And for a moment hot wet messy tears ran down his face. It was ironic the dangerous Darth Vader crying over a grave. Over the angel that inspired him. She truly loved him and all he reigned back was suffering not just for them but for their kids.
It was as if an angel had appeared in front of him.. uttering words that sound so sweet that made him want to simply lean into its warmth.
"Please don't cry Ani"
Such simple words caused such heartache in Vader's heart. How could a dead person cause so much sadness and distraught.
It was pathetic Anakin lived and died a hero. and his kids would come to see fath Vader as a villain as an enemy. Never knowing what their father truly had become. He let those years stream down what's left to a life when you've destroyed everything by your own hands. He shoudlve listened to mace windu stay at the council yet he's always been stubborn.
