star wars rebel AU

so… Star Wars is one of those things where I love it so much because of the way the story turned out, but at the same time I have a million AUs for how I also wish it could have gone.

I-I just really want one where Anakin doesn’t turn/turns back early and ends up as a leader of the Rebel Alliance (the Jedi Order having still been destroyed), while Padme remains on Coruscant as a senate spy to leak intel to the rebels. Of course, they’re separated to the public eye (trying to make this plausible so that Palpatine at least believes he caused a permanent rift between them, and he wants to keep Luke around to turn him later... idk how Anakin would keep from going crazy with paranoia with Padme and Luke being in such a dangerous position, but I'm also assuming he's gained some... self-control after recovering the first time ANYWAY) 

And they end up with one twin each, so... ~*~THE SPOILER ~*~ is still a spoiler for Luke in all these AUs ahaha. and I love the potential dynamic of switching the twins around XD (Leia's trained in the Jedi arts but still has an affinity with blasters )

(P.S. air and angels by irnan is a wonderful fic with this premise, that was an inspiration too! she's also written a whole lot of other incredible SW fics, A+ WOULD RECOMMEND)
