Also NONE OF THIS makes Vader less vicious or violent out in the world. Sometimes this makes Vader MORE vicious and violent out in the world, in fact, because he figures out slightly quicker than Padmé exactly how much SHARPER she is with him when he’s gone farther than she wanted him to go. And it’s not even the sharpness he wants specifically–it’s the ATTENTION–but he’d never say no to it. When she figures THAT out … hah. Haaaaah. She doesn’t even have to fucking TOUCH him, when she figures that out.
She DOESN’T touch him when she figures that out. He goes fucking CRAZY with it; he falls the fuck APART with it. She doesn’t even look at him for a full week, not even when he goddamn BEGS her to. The Empire could probably have collapsed without either of them noticing, if the Senate hadn’t known exactly how dead they all would’ve been if it had.
Just–Padmé Amidala literally riding the FUCKING TIGER here, with the fine line of giving Vader enough Dark to be content with but not enough to damn himself with. As if that even matters, now. As if that COULD matter, now.
It matters even more, now.
But what Vader wants from her is so much tenderness, and so much terribleness, and so MUCH, and sometimes Padmé isn’t sure if she’s the bloody bite-mark smeared down his throat or the soft hand stroking through his sticky, sweat-soaked hair. Or worse–if she’s both. What is she, if she is both those things to someone?
What is she if she is both those things to the GALAXY?
cleanertheseus asked: Fuuuuck, can I *please* have more sense freak hedonist Vader? That might have been the most AMAZING thing I've read in a good long while! & more of Padme & Vader's fucked up D/s dynamic. Just... christ, that was AMAZING! You're just AMAZING!
Thank you! ❤ I got a little stim-indulgent with Vader’s hedonist streak, I think, writing it was soooo enjoyable, hahahaha. AND YOU ARE IN LUCK, FRIEND, I’M ALWAYS A SLUT FOR TOUCH-STARVED HEDONISTS. ENOUGH OF ONE TO NEED A READ-MORE, APPARENTLY.
Also, handmaidens. Lots of handmaidens. Because hell yes handmaidens.
I’m just going to lie here and purr. I am a kitty. You are petting me.
Hey speaking of petting, how many times do you think Vader literally just kneeled on the floor by Padmé’s chair during a meeting or something and waited until she got distracted enough by all the political talk to start petting him like she would’ve if they were in their rooms? Just, like, a casual estimate.
Also, how many times do you think she internally freaked out once she realized just what she was doing in front of the damn Senate and gave him the you’re getting Punished for this later look.
Like, absolutely everyone is already terrified of her because Vader and the clone army answer to her and EVERYONE knows Vader killed Palpatine on her orders, and at least SOME people probably suspect he also killed the JEDI on her orders. And then she gives Darth fucking Vader, terror of the goddamn galaxy, the PUNISHMENT look. Everyone in the room immediately reconsiders every single one of the life choices that led them to BEING in this room.
Except for Vader, obviously. Vader is fucking DELIGHTED to be in this room.
