A fanfic could focus on Anakin's time in the dark side and how it affects his memories of Padmé. He might have flashbacks of their time together, which further torment him. Meanwhile, Luke could be on a quest to understand his father's fall. He could meet people who knew Anakin before he turned, like Obi - Wan in the Force ghost form. Through these interactions, Luke gains more insight into his father's story and decides to try to reach out to the Anakin that was once good, buried deep within the dark side.
One possible fanfic could be about Anakin's slow descent into the dark side while his love for Padmé still lingers. And how Luke later discovers the truth about his father. Maybe in the fanfic, Anakin has internal struggles between his love for Padmé and the power the dark side offers, and this conflict could shape the events that lead to his transformation. Luke's discovery of his father's past could be a central part of the story, as he tries to come to terms with it and perhaps find a way to redeem his father's actions.
Imagine a fanfic where Anakin's dark side actions have consequences that directly affect Padmé and Luke. For example, Anakin, under the influence of the dark side, makes decisions that put Padmé in danger. Luke, as he grows up, blames his father for his mother's hardships. However, as he delves deeper into the Force and learns about the balance, he realizes that his father was also a victim of the dark side's allure. This realization could lead to a complex relationship between Luke and Anakin, with Padmé's memory as the driving force for Luke to try and save his father.
Perhaps a fanfic that delves into the time when Anakin was on the cusp of turning to the dark side. Padme could sense the change in him and tries to prevent it with the help of Luke and Leia from the future who somehow travel back in time. This would create a complex web of relationships and a race against time to save Anakin from the dark side.
The fanfic could be set during the Clone Wars. Anakin's dark side starts to emerge due to the stress and manipulation. Padme notices the changes in him. Meanwhile, Luke and Leia are prophesied to be the ones who can save the galaxy from the dark side that Anakin is falling into. It could show how their fates are intertwined even before they are born, with Padme trying to protect the future of her children and Anakin.
In this fanfic, Anakin losing his arm could be a turning point. Padmé might be torn between her love for Anakin and her fear of the dark path he could be on. Luke, not yet born, could be a symbol of hope for Anakin during his recovery. Anakin's struggle with his injury could make him re - evaluate his relationship with the Force. Padmé could encourage him to use this as an opportunity to become a better Jedi. The story could also explore how Anakin's injury affects his standing in the Jedi Council and how that, in turn, impacts Luke's journey towards becoming a Jedi in the future. There could be a lot of emotional turmoil as Anakin grapples with his physical and mental state, and Padmé is there to support him through it all.
Perhaps in the fanfic, Anakin losing his arm is a turning point. Padmé, seeing his pain and the path he might be headed towards, decides to take Luke and hide away. But Anakin, consumed by his own loss and the dark side tugging at him, tries to find them. This could lead to a cat - and - mouse type of plot where Padmé is constantly on the run, trying to protect Luke from Anakin who is slowly losing himself more and more.
Anakin's character could develop in several ways. Losing his arm might make him more cautious, yet also more determined. He might become closer to Padmé as she helps him through the difficult time. And with Luke in the picture, even if just as a future hope, he could start to think more about the legacy he wants to leave. He may also grow in his understanding of the Force, seeing it as a source of both strength and humility after such a physical loss.
To make it more engaging, focus on the emotions. For example, when Anakin loses his arm, show his shock, pain, and fear not just physically but also mentally. How does he view himself now? With Padmé, explore her complex feelings towards Anakin at this time. Is it pity, love still, or a mix? And for Luke, create a sense of mystery around his future. Maybe have some foreshadowing about his potential power even as a baby. This emotional depth will draw readers in.
Padmé might react with shock and horror. She would be extremely worried about Anakin's well - being. Her first instinct could be to try and get medical help for him as quickly as possible.
Well, at first, they might seem closer as they are now both part of the same 'dark' world. But soon, the dark side's influence of greed and power - hunger would start to drive a wedge between them. Anakin, with his already tumultuous relationship with power, might try to dominate Ahsoka. Ahsoka, having been dragged into the dark side against her will perhaps, would resent Anakin for it. Their relationship would be a volatile mix of shared darkness and individual power struggles.
In this fanfic, Anakin is in the hospital recovering from the dark side's toll on his body. Luke comes to visit, still hesitant about their relationship. Anakin tells Luke about his past, his fall to the dark side, and how he now regrets it. Luke listens intently. As time passes, Luke starts to help Anakin with his physical therapy, and they bond over shared stories of the Force. Anakin begins to see the good in the galaxy again through Luke's eyes, and Luke sees the potential for his father to be a great Jedi once more.
