So the 'who do you love more' prompt caused me to read the wiki's summary of the ROTS novel, and there's some very interesting wording. Particularly this,
"the length to which Palpatine is willing to go for his future apprentice; it is clear that he would, in fact, have given Anakin the entire Corellian sector had he so desired."
and this,
"Mace sensed that Sidious did not fear Anakin at all, and that the Sith Lord would make no move to defend himself. Mace concluded that this was the shatterpoint of the Sith .... Anakin Skywalker indeed was the shatterpoint of Darth Sidious."
So I'd like a fic where Palpatine loves Anakin completely, and showcasing how that might have changed things. Like Padme doesn't die, for one thing.
TLDR: Palpatine truly loves Anakin and makes sure he gets whatever he wants. Padme doesn't die, au.
Palpatine/Anakin, unconditional love
