Sparkling, dreaming and drifting from the coast of England to Valencia in Spain looking for dramatic storylines and vino to break the heart..... Also like being a tad melodramatic ;-)
Anakin tried desperately to escape his own thoughts and return to the more pleasant ones that were all pertaining to the beauty sitting beside him in the car. Of all days to have one from the gates of hell, the start to Padmé’s birthday weekend had to be the worst time. He wasn’t sure when the last time was that he’d been yelled at so frequently, but by the end of the day he was ready to walk out of the door for good. That was until he reminded himself he had two children on the way and the real money maker in their household was taking an extended leave to care for those children. There were plenty of times to be impulsive but now wasn’t one of them.
In fact, now wasn’t a time to be negative, either.

Padmé woke suddenly, jolting upright as if she were late to something and had definitely missed her alarm. She quickly looked around, pressing a hand to her forehead while she remembered this was… Not her house. Not her bed. Because she was… in Anakin’s bed.
There was one place she never envisioned finding herself again in her life.
Chapter 19 is out now and you can read it here on AO3!
Well, it's been a while since I did one of these but I thought I might actually say something about my writing again instead of all my fandom stuff.
First, wow, it's been a while. The holidays threw me off really horribly along with a plethora of personal and familial things going on in the background that led to me not writing much of anything for weeks.
That being said, I've done a lot of drafting, rewriting, daydreaming, and plotting in that time away.
And for updates:
All's Fair in Love and Politics will update this week (as in, the week starting with the 15th).
Friends of the Bride & Groom will update on the 30th with chapters 19 and 20.
Those are the priorities and the tentative things on my calendar. From there... If my life can calm down, I will be around regularly again. I have plans a mile long--as many of my friends could vouch for--and I won't be going anywhere.
More than likely this year, I'll be scrapping any update schedules and I'm just grateful for anyone that sticks with me for my new stories, new ideas, and new pairings to come (along with all things Anidala)! I appreciate you all. 💜
Below, you'll find links to all of my Anakin x Padmé (+friends) fanfics currently on AO3, rated, with summaries included. For prompt fic collections, links will take you to the series page on AO3 where each one is individually tagged and described.
Will be updated as regularly as possible. Any nsfw content listed below is for my adult readers only, from an adult writer!
Current WIPs:
All's Fair in Love and Politics. Rated M. Modern AU.
United States Senator Padmé Amidala has her eyes set on the presidency. After a slip-up in the Senate forces her back to Boston for the summer, her life is once again intertwined with her ex after more than a decade apart. Her focus had always been on career, and duty. Now she wonders if that's all her life has to offer, or if she can 'have it all' including a shot at love.
Friends of the Bride & Groom. Rated E - nsfw. Modern AU.
Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker were perfect strangers when they locked eyes with each other at a wedding. She was never one to take risks, and he had promised to be on his best behavior, but all that went out the window when she motioned for him to come closer. Now they've both thrown caution to the wind and may be getting swept away in the process.
Swipe Right. Rated M. College AU.
Padmé Naberrie's sorority sisters were completely responsible for her downloading that dreaded dating app in the first place, but who was responsible for swiping right on their college's star-athlete Anakin Skywalker? And better yet, who was responsible for him swiping back and sending her a message in the middle of the night?
The Favor. Rated T. Modern AU.
Padmé Naberrie agreed to her family's holiday plans before she actually heard what those plans were: all of them spending the month under one roof to make her grandmother happy. To make matters worse, she sent her family into an uproar with one horrendous typo about bringing someone with her for the trip. That left her two options: She could come clean about her 'single' status, or, she could just ask her best friend Anakin Skywalker to accompany her instead.
One Shots:
Home is Wherever We Are. Rated M. Modern AU.
While Former U.S. Representative Padmé Amidala's political career had blown up in her face and ended, her marriage with Anakin Skywalker wouldn't because she would follow him to the ends of the Earth. And that included back to his Midwestern family farm where they could build a new life for their growing family.
Like Mother, Like Daughter. Rated T. Modern AU.
Set after Home is Wherever We Are but can be read independently.
Every harvest season since the first, nearly two decades ago when they welcomed the twins into the world, had been disrupted in one way or another. This year, that disruption came in the form of the newly hired farm hand that seemed to catch the attention of their daughter, to Anakin's dismay.
kneel. Rated E - nsfw. Canon Divergent AU.
With the war long ago ended, and the restrictions of the Jedi Code and politics behind them... Anakin could thoroughly enjoy the sight of his wife, kneeling in front of him, in the privacy of a certain balcony on Naboo.
what good girls do. Rated E - nsfw. Canon Compliant.
Padmé realizes her idea to set up the holorecorder may be more than she's ready for, but Anakin's new plan involving her mirror has her attention.
How Sweet It Is. Rated M. Modern AU.
The final details of their wedding were coming together, and Anakin was just along for the ride to pick up their to-go cake samples from Padmé's favorite designer. He should've known she had a few ideas in mind for convincing him to try every one of the strange sample pairings once they got home.

From... the next chapter of Friends of the Bride & Groom:
Making her blush was just a bonus, he thought. A privilege. One seemingly reserved just for him.
So nobody is going to talk about how Anakin and Padmé basically got engaged during TPM?
"I'm going to marry you," the boy said suddenly.
And then a little later:
"It's beautiful. But I don't need this to remember you." Her face lifted to his with a smile. "How could I forget my future husband?" She looked down at the pendant, fingering it thoughtfully.
Full scenes below.
She was looking back at him now, embarrassment turning to curiosity. She was small and slender with long, braided brown hair, brown eyes, and a face he found so beautiful that he had nothing to which he could compare it. She was dressed in rough peasant's clothing, but she seemed very self-possessed. She gave him an amused smile, and he felt himself melting in confusion and wonder. He took a deep breath.
"Are you an angel?" he asked quietly.
The girl stared. "What?"
"An angel." Anakin straightened a bit. "They live on the moons of Iego, I think. They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened space pirates cry like small children."
She gave him a confused look. "I've never heard of angels," she said.
"You must be one of them," Anakin insisted. "Maybe you just don't know it."
"You're a funny little boy." The amused smile returned. "How do you know so much?"
Anakin smiled back and shrugged. "I listen to all the traders and pilots who come through here." He glanced toward the salvage yard. "I'm a pilot, you know. Someday, I'm going to fly away from this place."
The girl wandered to one end of the counter, looked away, then back again. "Have you been here long?"
"Since I was very little-three, I think. My mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us to Watto, betting on the pod races. Watto's a lot better master, I think."
She stared at him in shock. "You're a slave?"
The way she said it made Anakin feel ashamed and angry. He glared at her defiantly. "I am a person!"
"I'm sorry," she said quickly, looking upset and embarrassed. "I don't fully understand, I guess. This is a strange world to me."
He studied her intently for a moment, thinking of other things, wanting to tell her of them. "You are a strange girl to me," he said instead. He swung his legs out from the counter. "My name is Anakin Skywalker."
She brushed at her hair. "Padme Naberrie."
The strange creature she had come in with wandered back to the front of the shop and bent over a stout little droid body with a bulbous nose. Reaching up curiously, it pushed at the nose with one finger. Instantly armatures popped out from every direction, metal limbs swinging into place. The droid's motors whizzed and whirred, and it jerked to life and began moving forward. Padme's odd companion went after it with a moan of dismay, grabbing on in an effort to slow it down, but the droid continued marching through the shop, knocking over everything it came in contact with.
"Hit the nose!" Anakin called out, unable to keep himself from laughing. The creature did as it was told, pounding the droid's nose wildly. The droid stopped at once, the arms and legs retracted, the motors shut down, and the droid went still.
Both Anakin and Padme were laughing now, and their laughter increased as they saw the look on the unfortunate creature's long - billed face. Anakin looked at Padme and the girl at him. Their laughter died away. The girl reached up to touch her hair self-consciously, but she did not divert her gaze.
"I'm going to marry you," the boy said suddenly.
There was a moment of silence, and she began laughing again, a sweet musical sound he didn't mind at all. The creature who accompanied her rolled his eyes.
"I mean it," he insisted.
"You are an odd one," she said, her laughter dying away. "Why do you say that?"
He hesitated. "I guess because it's what I believe…"
Her smile was dazzling. "Well, I'm afraid I can't marry you…" She paused, searching her memory for his name.
"Anakin," he said.
"Anakin." She cocked her head. "You're just a little boy."
His gaze was intense as he faced her. "I won't always be," he said quietly.
"Here," he said, "I made this for you. So you'd remember me. I carved it out of a japor snippet. Take it. It will bring you good fortune."
He handed her an intricately carved wooden pendant. She studied it a moment, face lowered in shadow, then slipped it around her neck.
"It's beautiful. But I don't need this to remember you." Her face lifted to his with a smile. "How could I forget my future husband?" She looked down at the pendant, fingering it thoughtfully. "Many things will change when we reach Coruscant, Annie. My caring for you will not be one of them."
The boy nodded, swallowing. "I know. And I won't stop caring for you, either. Only, I miss -" His voice broke, and the tears sprang into his eyes once more.
"You miss your mother," the girl finished quietly.
Anakin nodded, wiping at his face, unable to speak a word as Padme Naberrie drew him against her and held him close.
