If you’re still doing the character letter things could you break my heart and everyone’s heart? Anakin and either my OC Ashley or reader, if Luke didn’t kill him but he was arrested and sentenced to death. His last letter about how much he loves her or y/n?
Yes! Ok I'm ready to break some hearts.
Ashley,
It has been twenty-three years since the fall of the Republic. Twenty-three years since I lost you. I am certain you wouldn't even be able to recognize me now. I am confined to a suit that keeps me alive, I am more machine than man.
I would have done anything to protect you back then, but in the end, it was me who ended up hurting you…there isn't a day where I am not haunted by your passing. I sank deeper into the dark side until Anakin Skywalker was killed completely. I was sure that there was no hope for me to see the light again until I met my son. He reminds me much of Padme, he shares her strong heart but I could also see your kindness in him.
He saved me from the dark, even so, I still did those awful things. I have done many things I have come to regret now. I have killed and hurt so many innocent souls. I cannot help but agree with the death sentence the New Republic has given me.
The Empire has fallen and the New Republic has begun a new era of freedom for the galaxy. Luke had fought for my life during the trial but even I could see they had already made up their minds. My daughter Leia, leads the New Republic along with her supporters. She is strong and brave and has all the qualities of a great leader. I think you and Padme would be incredibly proud of them.
Right now I am in the confines of my cell on Coruscant, waiting for the guards to come to retrieve me for my execution. I have only an hour left but I wanted to write you. Even if you cannot see this, I need to tell you this.
I love you, Ashley.
I was blind to overlook you all of those years ago when I first met you and your sister. It wasn't until it was too late that I finally realized how much I loved you. You have always been a part of me no matter how hard I tried to ignore it as Darth Vader. I will love you in this life and in the next. I just hope one day we can be reunited so I can show you how much I love you.
No matter where I go, no matter what happens to me. I will always carry you with me, my dearest love.
I have finally made my peace.
Forever yours,
Anakin Skywalker
