It wasn't your fault.

⁺◟ 𝕾ynopsis  ꜜ ✦

     ANAKIN SKYWALKER is a scorching summer, relentless and untamed, a season that blazes with life yet teeters on the edge of ruin. His presence is a sun that burns too brightly, golden rays that sear rather than warm, casting shadows so deep they seem to swallow the earth. He is the dry, cracking heat before a storm, when the air grows thick and suffocating, heavy with the promise of rain that comes too late to save the parched land. In his eyes smolders the fire of a thousand sunsets, golden-red and dangerous, as if the sun itself were about to collapse into night. 

     He is the tempest that arrives without warning—thunder that shakes the heavens, lightning that splits the sky in a blinding fury. His passions, like summer's storms, are fierce and all-consuming, washing away reason and restraint. Yet for all his fire, there is a gentleness to his soul, the soft whisper of a summer breeze through fields of wheat, golden and unbroken before the inevitable harvest. This tenderness lingers like the scent of rain on scorched earth, a fleeting memory of what could have been.

     But summer cannot last. It devours itself, its beauty doomed by its own excess. Anakin's summer is a season of contradiction—of creation and destruction, of growth and decay. In his heart lies the yearning to be both the nurturing sun and the destructive fire, the storm and the calm, and it is this duality that ensures his ruin.

✦

     AMARA VEGA is the quiet brilliance of autumn, a season cloaked in hues of gold and crimson, a fleeting moment of beauty before the inevitable fall. She is the gentle rustle of leaves underfoot, a sound that speaks of endings and beginnings. In her presence, the world feels poised on the brink of change, as if each breath she takes could alter the course of destiny. Her voice is the whisper of the wind through the trees, soft yet insistent, carrying the weight of things unspoken.

     Her beauty is not the sharp, blinding radiance of summer but the subdued glow of twilight, a palette of deep oranges, blood reds, and the dusky purples of a harvest moon. In her eyes gleams a wisdom far older than her years, a melancholy that hints at the burden of a crown she never asked for. She is the chill in the air that heralds the end of something beautiful, the quiet forewarning of winter's icy grasp. Yet, there is warmth in her—an ember in the dying light that promises the rebirth of spring, if only one has the strength to endure the cold.

     In this season of bittersweet duality, where every end holds the seed of a beginning, and every fall is laced with quiet resilience, she embodies beauty in its most poignant form—fragile yet enduring, a masterpiece painted in the hues of decay. Poised between life and death, she is the delicate fulcrum upon which the past and the future sway, a bridge suspended over the chasm of what was and what might be.

✦

     In ANAKIN, she finds the fire to light her darkened skies, a heat that burns through the frost threatening to consume her heart. In AMARA, he sees the calm he has always yearned for, the soft autumn light that promises peace to his restless soul. Yet their union is not one of harmony but of collision, the violent meeting of fire and wind, of summer and autumn locked in an eternal embrace that cannot last. Amara tempers the storm within Anakin, but in doing so, she fuels the wildfire that consumes him. He is drawn to her like a moth to the flame, and she, knowing the danger, cannot resist the pull of his searing light.

     She is his saving grace, the autumn breeze that tempers his burning rage, but also his ruination, for even the most brilliant autumn must fade before winter.

⁺◟Tati Speaks: Musings from the Author . . ꜜ

✨ Hello. At this point, are we even surprised that I am writing a fic for Anakin Skywalker?

✨ If I had a nickel for every time I wrote about tragic lovers whom are both destined for ruin and tragedy, I'd have two nickels which is not a lot but it is WEIRD that it happened twice. You lot can tell that this is my favorite trope in the entire Universe. There's just a lot of ANGST and VIBES that I get when I write these kinds of trope in stories. Like: there's no greater joy than being in pain when writing about doomed love stories and how it makes people feel. 

✨ OBVIOUSLY: this will not be a happy ending. 

✨ Yvaine Amara Vega is the heiress apparent to the throne of Cevalen. She is supposedly third-in-line to inherit the crown but seeing as her older sister and brother abdicated the throne — she becomes the bearer of the title. I won't spoil anything that led to her sister and brother to abdicate the throne, but it will be further discuss in the chapters moving forward. She is the Apple of Everyone's Eye so there's a certain part in her that wants her to prove herself to them that she is worthy of being her mother's successor. My main inspiration for her overall character is Poppy Drayton's role as Amberle Elessedil in the Shannara Chronicles. There's something about Amberle that deeply resonates with Amara as a character — and from that I took it upon myself to have Amberle as the main inspiration for Amara Vega. She's headstrong, determined, and capable — she won't certainly back down from a fight and will probably stick a knife in your neck. 

✨ I will be discussing Cevalen in another chapter. But the planet and its lore are of my own creations. That said, all information regarding Amara's family, background, as well as the places mentioned in the story are all fictional. Any similarity in terms of names and places are purely coincidental and have nothing to do with anything in reality. ALSO: There will be mention of blood, gore, as well as vulgar words that might be triggering for those who will read. I will put a warning before the beginning of a chapter where such things are mentioned/will be happening.

✨ Amara is based off of Mara and Adora from She-ra and the Princesses of Power, Cinderella from the live-action, Cinderella (2015), and Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones.

✨ ANAKIN and AMARA are very much Midnight Rain x Daylight coded. Also, Amara being the calm in Anakin's storm — I love that for them. 

✨ RELATIONSHIP-WISE: they will go through the most awkward phase of all and the both of them are just oblivious to each other. Anakin will, and WHEN I TELL YOU that he will, look at her with such gentle eyes and Amara is just going to stare at him and say, "What the fuck are you on about?" 😭😭THEY'RE SO MESSY AND CHAOTIC. I love them both for it. Their relationship is A LOT different from the ones I have written about. Their relationship is all fun and rainbows UNTIL shit happens. Anakin going through the most awkward of phases throughout their relationship and Amara just holding onto his braincell is the HIGHLIGHT of my day.

✨ I love you all. Thank you.
