Actually, after seeing AOTC, I don't think Vader would ever willingly hurt Padme, so I suppose this fic is a little out of character in my mind. Having seen ROTS, I can safely say you can make that really OC, in terms of Vader. *sigh* I'm actually really happy that George explicitly stated in canon that, even as Vader, Anakin will never stop loving Padme. *happiness* Oh well, I still like parts of this, since it's mostly about Padme and her internal vision of the universe. You see, she may not be able to touch the Force, but what she can touch may cut her deep.
