Could you talk about: "Anakin becomes the Winter Soldier"?
Of course! So this AU is in basic what happens to Bucky Barns but with Anakin, so in this AU during a battle the Separatists set of explosives under the unstable ground their battling over causing several sinkholes all over. Not all of the 501st have managed to avoid it, and the worst of it effects those at the front, like Anakin and Rex, get caught. Anakin saves Rex from falling but in the end falls through and he is declared dead. The 501st, both fewer in number and down a general, get combined with the 212th as Obi-Wan takes over Ashoka’s training. They mourn and the war goes in.
And then a new Sith comes on the scene. A looming shadow that tears through their ranks like it is nothing. A brutal hunter who fears nothing not because he is cocky, but because it knows it has nothing to fear. A hunting hound let off it’s leash and sent to hunt to kill.
His name is Darth Vader. They just call him The Hound.
It is inevitable that Obi-Wan and his men encountered this beast sooner or later, though no one can predict the outcome of the clash.
The dance starts, the music comes to life, and the first moves are done, and so they are off for another battle. Like always Vader is off, headed for Kenobi like that is all there is, and they clash. Obi-Wan notes how his mask resembles a skull, Vader notices how this feels like a dance he has danced before (but he has never done the steps before, his Master never taught him this get he knows like he has always danced like this). Vader shows no mercy, not it Jedi or Clone, yet it hesitates at the clones in blue. It is the grief, he thinks, the grief that clings like a coat over them all, that is what brings him up short. (He knows these men, he knows he does, but how?)
And then Rex, arm steady and aim secure, gets a lucky shot not even the greatest Jedi could fully dodge (Anakin was always so excited to practice it with him, fascinated by the shot he could not properly dodge). Vader’s visor is hit on the side, and the sith curses. His helmets vision has been shot, the helmets advantage has been lost, so he removes it - anything useless is discarded as it has finished its use - and the dance stops.
For no longer does an enemy stand before them on the battlefield. No Vader is gone, replaced by a brother, a master, a Padawan, a general, a lover; replaced by Anakin Skywalker.
The steady arm trembles, aim faltering, as brown meets duller blue.
“Talking to the dead already, Captain?” A tilted head up, a malicious grin (soft smiles, warm eyes, head tilted down) on his face. “Are you so ready to meet death you great your whilst you still draw breath General?”
Yet…yet it is. That is Anakin Skywalker, but he is not the same man they lost.
Rex just got himself a new mission.
And that, is a little peak into what the Winter Soldier AU has to entail
