I just couldn't stop reading this in one go (part 1 and 2!). Darth Vader attempting to be a father to a twelve year old is so interesting, funny, terrible, endearing and awful at the same time. It's a very well written story.

I love this story so much. But I just realized shoot chute. I've read this so many times and I literally never noticed. *shrugs* Just letting you know in case you wanted to fix it.

Going through a really rough time and re-reading this to make myself feel a little better. I enjoy how Vader's initial "oh well, I don't feel like dealing with Luke's casual manner right now, hopefully some else will take care of it or else I'll do it later" kind of non-attention ended up being the basis for his surprisingly lax disciplinary requirements for Luke once he did care enough to pay more attention to his son, which in turn allowed their relationship to become much better than it would have been if Vader had been gung-ho from the start.

This is gonna blow up in everybody's faces

Palpatine you bastard

I hope ANAKIN bitterly regrets that thought someday

What's Vader so upset about?
Also Luke, DONT. Remember the rule

Progress!

Poor Luke. Also Palpatine's a dick. Ooooooh Vader wishes it wasn't twins!

YEEES! Artoo still has his memory! I'm just imagining the pranks they'll get up to

At least he's reunited with his droids

Poor Luke

Anakin you fucking idiot

Denial is a river on Earth

Wouldn't Palpatine WANT another Inquisitor or possible replacement for Vader
