Chapter IV
Dear readers, don't worry! This story is far (far) from over. However, the next chapter jumps ahead five years, so I figured I'd fill you in on the important and semi-important things that happen in that five year time frame.
Essentially, Luke ends up warming up to Vader almost embarrassingly quickly, and begins his Force training under Vader (whenever Vader is on Mustafar). He begins battle training under all the Inquisitors collectively, although there's only one that he actually respects (the Second Sister, or Trilla as she may be better known).
After she went missing and Vader seemed to do his best to keep Luke from learning why, he eventually found out from the other Inquisitors and was understandably incredibly angry with Vader, but was able to tap into the Force and forgive him.
Very few people in the galaxy know of Luke's existence, but those who do believe him to simply be another Inquisitor that's just more powerful than most. He grows to truly respect the Anakin side of Vader and love him as a father, and eventually he grows to partially respect the Vader side as well.
After a couple years, Luke finally broaches the topic of his mother. He realizes how painful the subject is for Vader so he doesn't bring her up very often.
A few months after he began training in the ways of the Force, he began having unusual dreams when he slept. They were almost like recurring dreams, with recurring characters and reference to events that took place in past dreams, but the dreams were never actually the same.
The dreams were incredibly infrequent and unpredictable at first, but as he grew more powerful they became more normal to him and he could guess when he would have them on occasion. He never mentioned them to Vader, but if he had he would've found out that they were very similar to the visions Vader had when he was Anakin.
As he grew older and stronger in the Force, Vader would frequently take him on low profile missions. One of those missions was a diplomatic mission on Alderaan where he met Bail Organa, whom he recognized from several of his dreams.

Now you get to see the real story unfold. The first three chapters were fun to write and all, but this is what I've really been pushing toward. I honestly am so excited to write the next part of this and start developing a plot as well as some characters. I may have to re-binge Rebels to make sure my timeline is right too

I was going to wait until tomorrow to post chapter III, but once I realized how quickly I was gonna whip this'n out I decided to just post them both today. So here you go. Three chapters in one day, my treat.
