Post RoTS AU - Dark Drama & Dark Romance: Suit-less Vader has learned that Padmé has survived and is determined to install her in her rightful place by side... Minor P/OC & V/A pairing at the beginning - primary V/P pairing. EPIC.

AU: Due to recent danger, Anakin, still a slave, becomes Senator Amidala's personal bodyguard. Padme doesn't want a slave. She wants slavery to end, and to fight for peace within the galaxy. Anakin, inspired by her spirit, resolves to help her. It would be totally impossible for them to fall in love, right? Brief hiatus for the next few months, but will continue!
