Series: Part 1 of The Palpatine Twins ‘verse

Summary:

It is a period of civil war. The fledgling REBELLION has scored its first victory against the evil EMPIRE, capturing the plans to the feared DEATH STAR.

Meanwhile, on Coruscant, the Imperial capital, the royal heir, LUKE PALPATINE, and his sister LEIA, are the terror of the Imperial Court. Luke has been raised to ensure the tyrannical hold the Empire has over the galaxy never falters. Leia, disregarded for being second-born and a girl, bitterly contents herself with keeping her brother on a tight leash. For now.

Meanwhile, their birth father, the evil lord DARTH VADER, watches his children grow ever stronger and more deadly, and begins to regret what he has wrought.

When the twins hire a smuggler to get them off Coruscant in secret, committed to a course of action that will seal their fates, Vader’s only hope of saving his children may lie in two of the unlikeliest of places: smuggler HAN SOLO, and the Empire’s worst enemy, the leader of the Rebellion….

Notes:

First of all, this never would have happened if I hadn’t seen this manip of Luke and Leia as raised by Vader, which punched all my buttons and got my brain working on this, which went from “what if evil twin incest” to “what would have happened during A New Hope”.

Second, it never would have happened without the insight and encouragement and beta work from @prettyarbitrary and @persian-slipper, both of whom have shamelessly enabled me and helped me figure out character and plot points. Also @wintergrey, who let me spend an entire weekend in Canada talking his ear off about this.
