Summary
When Depur sends Vader back to Tatooine for the third time, Anakin visits his mother. He cannot go to her grave, but the place she died is a ruin. Surely, he can go there and talk to her. Before, there was nothing left for him to lose, but now there is Leia, just the right age to be his child, and the world he broke before she could see it.
Anakin speaks his regrets to the desert, until the wind whispers back.
He awakens, 18 years in the past, in the moment before his first evil.
Is this a piece of Ar-Amu's promise? The will of the Force? Yes, of course. But whichever you believe in, know that the trickery of Ekkreth will surely play its part.

Double Agent Vader Anthology by Fialleril
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
06 Dec 2017
Summary
The one where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.
This is a collection of oneshots that all fit into the same universe, but posted in no particular order. Updated when the muse strikes me.
Alternate summary, according to TV Tropes: A man attempts to escape slavery by turning into one of his culture heroes, teaching his daughter how to do magic, killing people, and flower arranging.
For more about this 'verse, check out the tag on my tumblr.
Anthology containing:
Shape-Changer
His Master liked to say that Vader was born in fire on Mustafar. But Ekkreth was born in the desert.
Words in the Heart
“XF-53,” he said, “will your programming permit me to tell you a story?”
“There is no prohibition against that. A story cannot do damage.”
“Is that what he thinks? Good.”
(Or, what Anakin was up to during those four hours between meeting the Grandmother and finally contacting Palpatine in Shape-Changer.)
(Words in the Heart) Cannot Be Taken
For the first time since everything changed on Tatooine, KD-7, the droid officially known as XF-53, must make a report to Emperor Palpatine. And then receive the standard memory wipe.
Or, Kadee and Anakin are faced with the first terrifying test of their secret new freedom.
The Slave Who Makes Free
Ekkreth wears a hundred thousand shapes and has a hundred thousand tricks, and the chain has not been forged that can hold them.
(Or: Meanwhile, on the Tatooine freedom trail...)
Decryption Codes
Newly appointed Senator Leia Organa meets Darth Vader for the first time. And then she meets Ekkreth.
A Larger World
In which Leia discovers she is Force sensitive, finds herself a teacher, talks politics with Darth Vader, and reaches all the right conclusions…about the wrong parent.
The Emperor's Speech
Leia hates the Emperor's interminable speeches. But they're slightly more tolerable when she has someone to mock them with.
Optimal Functioning
Ahsoka is planning a major Rebel action, if only she can be sure Darth Vader won't interfere. Leia thinks she knows someone who can help.
Fulcrum, meet Ekkreth.
Trickster Steals the Moon
This is the story of how Depur stole the moon from the sky, and how Ekkreth the Trickster stole it back thrice over.
(But that's no moon...)
Flowers for the Emperor
Someone is sending the Emperor seditious flowers. Senator Pooja Naberrie is delighted.
(Or, I finally write the Bouquet of Disdain as an actual fic.)
Bedrock
“And now, Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base.”
(Leia's Death Star interrogation in the double agent 'verse.)
The Only Verdict
In which Darth Vader prevents Leia from Force choking someone (yes, really), Leia swears revenge, an escape plan is hatched, and Luke Skywalker finally makes an appearance.
Or, the destruction of Alderaan in the double agent ‘verse. Because this is Star Wars, and everything is pain.
Aftermath
“I don’t blame you,” she said fiercely. “For Alderaan. I want you to know that.”
(Leia meets with Vader in the aftermath of the destruction of Alderaan and the Death Star.)
Trophies
In which the Emperor is far from pleased with the destruction of the Death Star, Darth Vader remains a bit of a disappointment, and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s death serves more purpose than he ever could have imagined.
Or, Palpatine’s point of view following the events of ANH.
Children of the Force
In which Leia begins training in the Force with Luke in secret, continues to mourn Alderaan, and says goodbye to Ekkreth.
Now featuring a bonus cameo by Han Solo, dweeby schoolboy with a crush.
Empire Day
Three birthdays with Leia Organa.
The Unstolen Child
Every Force sensitive child must be registered with the Imperial Inquisition. When the time comes, they'll be collected for training.
Ahsoka is determined to make sure that doesn't happen. And she has some unexpected help.
Rocks and Water
Anakin builds a lightsaber, and Leia gets a delivery...and some surprising revelations with it.
Sometimes as Many as Seven
Leia and Han talk about the Force, philosophy, and that bounty hunter they ran into on Ord Mantell.
A short coda to Rocks and Water, written as a tribute to Carrie Fisher.
