Summary
The Jedi see the Force as a selfless essence that connects all beings to one another in perfect unity. They serve it with grace and selflessness of their own.
The Sith see the Force as a power to be wielded. An entity to be turned to their will and aid them in their personal goals.
Anakin knows the truth. The Force is a petty child growing bored with its regular toys. It brought Anakin into existence solely to be a new vessel to play with. To toy with exactly as it wants. To control when it felt like it.
Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side, and, like a writer working through a daydream, the Force decided to start it all again from the top.
That had been the Force's mistake. Pure dumb luck put Anakin in the hands of a Mandalorian clan who happened to have Force suppression cuffs before the Force could pick up the strings of his life again. Anakin vowed to never take them off, ignoring the Force at every turn as he learned the Way of the Manda.
The Force is not going to give its toy up so easily.
AKA, A time travel fic where Anakin Skywalker beefs with the force, deals with guilt for things he would have done, and becomes a Mandalorian.
