Work Text:
The dark god tears into the universe, carving away the barriers of time until it all pours into Anakin like a raging ocean.
He screams.
The Son shows him no mercy, dragging Anakin through the maelstrom to show him what he wants Anakin to see. Anakin collapses as he sees himself, once a protector, turn into a monster; watches his devotion to Padmé turn abusive, feels her and the galaxy crumble under his hands.
When Anakin stands, his head is stripped raw by prophecy, and his heart hardened to do whatever is necessary to ensure it never comes to pass.
