Renew AU

Showing how Luke and Vader basically look/dress like for the AU. The pic on the right shows the scarf Vader wears when they're out and about, while the left is them trying to figure out where to head to next.

((Shopping with Vader for new clothes had been one of the most surreal moments of Luke's life, thus far. Having Vader help pick him out clothes and get dressed was one thing, but Luke can't be help be but amazed with how gentle and careful his father is with him now.))

((Of course there was that one amusing moment when it came for Vader to pick out his own clothes. Of course the man had picked all black at first, but Luke earnestly insisted he add some color in his clothes, lest he stick out like a sore thumb.))

((While there are moments where Luke has to put on a more kiddish act, more often than not, his is ignored by most adults. It's a bit insulting and Luke can't help but feel slightly hurt by it. Thankfully his father more than makes up for this, as the man seems to take in every word he says like a man dying of thirst. Always listening quietly and intently, silently begging to know more about him.))

((Seeing Luke so young and vulnerable quickly makes Vader discard his plan on training the youth in the ways of the Sith. He would rather die, or even take another plunge into the volcanic pits of Mustafar, than see his son tainted by darkness, like him.))

((Luke can't do much in his current state, which bothers him greatly as he always wants to help others. Vader usually insists on not doing so, but Luke's new puppy eyes seem to be quiet effective at changing his mind.))

Renew AU

Luke was finally successful in using the power of Force suggestion to help his father get some sleep. So successful in fact, that he knocked both himself, and his father out with it.

More doodles and more notes for ya! ((with a bonus Tiger Anakin and Golden retriever Luke!))

(( Unable to access any of his Imperial funds or resources, Vader ends having to use his hidden bank account that he's been able to keep hidden from the Emperor. It's not much, but it's enough to get a new prosthetic hand for Luke, new clothes, and a small ship barely big enough to house two of them. ))

(( No matter how hard Vader tires to keep Luke away from danger, the kid always seemingly manages to wander straight into it. So ironically enough, the safest place for Luke is to hang off Vader's back like a little Koala, even in battle. ))

(( Luke is not that physically strong, but he can still tap into the Force and use it to least do mind tricks or lift objects. Unfortunately Luke hasn't trained enough with Yoda yet, so he's not very good at it, making Vader have to tentatively step in and teach him. ))

(( Vader wants to teach Luke, but he's really, really worried that somehow his darkness will poison Luke's training. Vader cannot just flip and switch and go back the light, the darkness has seeped so deep within him that it's a part of him now, and that scares him. ))

(( Honestly though, Vader is worrying too much, considering he turns out to be an excellent teacher for Luke. Both of them have a strong connection to the Force, a burden and an experience that many really can't understand, so Vader is able to explain things to Luke that makes it easier for him to understand. ))

(( The two of them are searching for old Sith and Jedi books and Relics on their travels, or basically any clue or hint on how to get Luke back to normal. Of course this leads to a lot of shenanigans, adventures, and Father-son bonding moments. ))

(( If you're wondering about Leia, Luke sent her a secret message saying he's alright and is going off to do some secret Jedi training, so she isn't too worried about him. Besides she's busy keeping the Rebellion going while also trying to figure out a plan to save Han to worry about Luke right now.. ))

Was not prepared for the sudden, overwhelming obsession with Vaderkin and Luke to return this quick, but oh boy did it hit me like semi truck last night.

I CANNOT get ENOUGH of it. So the first pic if of course from the LukeandVader AU, but the second one is a new one I thought of called Renew AU

Basically, only a few months after the events of The Dark Side Strikes Back, Luke is captured by one of Sideous's Inquisitors and taken to a remote facility on the Outer Rim for a secret experiment.

Vader quickly catches wind of this and heads there immediately, blasting his way through the base, not caring how angry Sideous will be at him for doing so, knowing how much danger his son is in.

He finds Luke alive, but chained to some strange altar with advance technology pulsing around it. He has no idea what the hell the machinery is it for, all he cares about is getting Luke out of there fast as possible.

Of course the two banter at one another, especially when Luke realizes Vader is rescuing him, his relief flooding the force like a wave, which surprises Vader greatly as they settle into an uneasy truce.

The chains seem to resist to bend under the will of the Force, so Vader is forced to use his metal hands the break them loose from his son's form, but it's too later, the machine activates and they're both seized by a violent, twisted energy.

For a moment all they feel is pain, Vader doubly so as he feels wires and tubes rip themselves from his body as the foreign machine explodes and sparks around them, and then nothing.

When they both regain consciousness, they both realize they've been de aged by almost 10-12 years, thankfully their are memories intact and Vader's lungs and body have healed, but his metal limbs remain, and Luke is now stuck in the body of a small, defenseless young boy.

After a long talk they both agree Luke is too vulnerable to go back the Rebellion and Vader can't go back to the Empire without endangering Luke, so their only solution is to go on the run until they can find a way to get Luke back to his original age.

((They find a way, but it takes like 5 years for Luke to grow back into his twenties. They have to do this slowly with a mixture of medicine and the force because if they try and age Luke too fast is body would go into shock and die.))

((Luke quickly realizes his is essentially holding the leash of the galaxies most dangerous monster. His father would fight anyone or anything for him, and Luke is both overwhelmed and deeply touched by this fact.))

((Luke still has his memories but he still is affected by his tiny bodies hormones. He's physically weak, cries easily, and instinctively seeks comfort from his father, much to his embarrassment.))

((Vader is having a rough time. He's trying his best to behave for Luke, but he feels like he's wearing another man's skin. He can't look at his face in the mirror and usually covers his lower face with a cloth or scarf, as he can't stand how expressive his face can get it either.))

((Somehow I'm gonna drag Obi-Wan's ass back from the dead to deal with this bullshit too, but I'll figure that out later!))

This will cover tibits about Vader's heath.

(( Despite not regaining his lost limbs, Vader physically feels really good. He can easily take a deep breath, his lungs no longer feeling like they've been ripped apart by heated glass and ash. He has no need for a catheter, no more tubes, no more needles, just healthy pink flesh. ))

(( That being said, his mechanical limbs are in rough shape and attached very poorly. The flesh around the ports is always inflamed or bleeding, but Vader hardly pays it any mind. They don't have the money or time to waste on him, besides, this pain is nothing compared to what he endured in the suit. ))

(( Luke is not happy when he finally finds the hiding spot his father goes to when he needs to lick his wounds on the ship. His even more upset when he realizes his father has always been in a state of constant pain for over a decade. The surge of sadness he feels at this revelation prompts him to cry, which makes Vader very confused and concerned. ))

(( Luke's is very embarrassed by his crying, his damn little hormones betraying him, but he uses it as leverage to make Vader promise him that he'll let Luke help him form now on with repairs or to help tend his wounds. ))

(( Even with his new body, Vader does not sleep. Nightmares and visions are the only things that await him in his dreams, so he uses the same meditation technique that he perfected when he was bound to the suit. Luke is not a fan of this, and has been secretly trying to master his use of Force suggestion so he can finally allow his father some real rest. ))

Renew AU :Obi-Wan

I finally figured out how to bring this dork back from the dead for this AU, so here's the dirty details.

Obi-Wan, as a Force ghost, has been secretly following Vader and Luke since this whole fiasco started. He's been looking for an opportunity to talk to Luke, but the boy is always shadowed by his father, and Obi-Wan really doesn't want to reveal himself to Vader considering the emotional fallout that would ensue, for the both of them.

So Obi-Wan watches, watches as Vader's heart is healed by Luke's kindness, watches as Vader protects, dotes, and adores his son, and Obi-wan begins to realize what Luke had been trying to tell him this whole time. Anakin never died, he's been trapped in a living hell for over a decade, screaming and begging for help, and Luke answered.

It makes Obi-Wan's heart ache. For so many years he's been trying to discard all his regrets, but seeing Luke's and Vader's adventures bring them bubbling right back to the surface. If only he had done things differently...

Then one day Vader and Luke come across another one of Sideous's secret labs. The old Sith lord has been trying to find a way to keep himself alive by any means possible. The machine that de-aged Luke and Vader was one of those plans, and he had used Luke as a guinea pig to see if it would worked, which is did, but the machine blew up.

So this faculty Luke and Vader are currently in is actually filled with brain dead clones of various Jedi, tests subjects to see if Sideous could implant his spirit into another body. One of them is even an adult clone of Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan is relived to see that even Vader is disgusted by these things and watches wearily as Vader goes to kill the brain dead clones, only to get attacked by two Anakins.

The Anakin clones are simply being puppeted by Sideous and have no will of their own, so they're not as skilled as Vader in terms of fighting prowess, but that doesn't mean that they are easy to kill either. After a fevered fight, Vader manages to kill one them, but the other clone is then able to hit Vader with Force lighting, which is Vader's biggest weakness. Mechanical limbs and electricity aren't a good combo.

Seeing Vader in agony and Luke crying in desperation prompts Obi-Wan to try something really stupid. He shoves his spirit into the body of his brain dead clone and wills the damn thing to move.

It works and Obi-Wan is essentially alive again. He fights back the Anakin clone, allowing Vader enough time to recover and join the fight again. When it's over, Obi-Wan cannot bring himself to kill the clone, so Vader does it, brutally, and without hesitation.

For a moment, Obi-Wan thinks he might be able to rip his spirit free from this body and avoid this awkward situation, but it turns out he's permanently attached now, both to the new body and the Skywalkers.
