Summary
The best day of Anakin’s life is simultaneously the worst of his mother’s. Though he knows that Qui-Gon tried hard to free him, and that his mother would have preferred that it were him, a big part of him is far happier that it is his mother who will no longer have to slave away without any hope of seeing returns, even if it means that he will not.
There are a lot of ‘not’s that come with not being free.
Not leaving Tatooine.
Not becoming a Jedi.
Not seeing every star system in the galaxy.
And, a secret part of him whispers, not having to leave my mother.
So, earnestly, over his mother’s quiet weeping, he thanks Qui-Gon Jinn for making sure that at least one Skywalker is free, even if it's not him.
Or
What happens when a slave boy doesn't become a Jedi.

Now containing several timestamps post fic. Updates yearly on May the 4th.

Summary
Years before his fall, a strange youngling, one prone to visions no one ever listened to, gave Anakin Skywalker three warnings about his future.
The first: never trust a Sith Lord.
The second: trying to stop his visions would make them come true.
The third would only matter if he failed the first two.
More than twenty years later, Darth Vader enters cell 2187 to interrogate a princess dressed in white—and remembers the third.Bookmarked by manictater

Summary
Captain Piett knows a man like him won’t have a grand career in the Imperial Navy, a nobody from an Outer Rim backwater who listens to his favorite engineering textbook to fall asleep and who can’t take the elevators on the Death Star without retching. It’s alright, he tells himself. Lack of ambition keeps you alive. And then he witnesses Darth Vader kill Grand Moff Tarkin.
Inspired by lautdalam’s bang the war-drums series. While torturing Leia aboard the Death Star Vader realizes she’s his daughter. From there, things slowly but surely spiral out of his control.
Warnings are at the end of Ch1.
