A/N: This was requested by starwars5555. I hope you like it, I'm so sorry it took so long.

The Request: Hey I love your book
Could you be able to do one where the reader is slowly turning to the dark side and the 501st try to stop them but fail. And they meet her a few years later as a Sith ??
You can add romance in it if you want i don’t mind.

They tried to help you, they could see that you were turning to the darkside. Rex saw it too, he tried to help you but it was no use. You became a Sith alongside Anakin Skywalker, it's been fifteen years since it happened. You feel empty inside, the last straw was losing Rex after order 66. You haven't killed anyone, that's Anakin's job, your job was to hunt down enemies of the empire and bring them in.

Whatever happened after was out of your control, although quite a few of them you let go, telling the emperor that you had killed them. He believed it and loved your supposed bloodlust, but you still felt bad for the harm you caused the ones you brought in. You feel like you've failed Rex, what would your boyfriend think of you now. Rex would absolutely despise you, he does despise you.

He met you again a few years ago, and was disgusted with what you had become.  You were going to go back to him, but Palpatine told you that he had died shortly after seeing you. And by then you couldn't have gotten away from the Sith Lord no matter how hard you tried, he was too strong. You follow along Anakin, now known as Darth Vader, as he brings his son to Palpatine.

You don't know what to do as you watch Palpatine electrocute the boy, you want to help him, your mind is screaming how this isn't right. How you can't let him die, you look to see that Anakin, your old friend and brother, has returned. He's thinking the same thing as you. SAVE HIM. You both jump into action, Anakin grabbing Palpatine while you use the force to protect Anakin from the force lightning and he throws Palpatine down the shaft.

"Come on, this whole place is going to blow." You tell Luke, grabbing Anakin and wrapping his arm around your shoulder, Luke smiles. Walking over and doing the same on the other side, you both carry Anakin to a shuttle and head off, right before the death Star explodes.

You sit down beside Anakin as Luke pilots the shuttle to the planet below, you're so scared of what the Rebellion will do too you.

"I commed the Rebellion, they know that I'm bringing you. They said that you won't be locked up as long as you have a force inhibitor in your system. Sorry father, you did more so you're going to be locked up for a while until we can trust you." Anakin nods at his son, you let Luke inject you with a force inhibitor then he lands the ship. You're so scared of what's going to happen. He lands the ship and escorts you and Anakin out, he hands Anakin off to be locked up in another ship while he grabs your arm.

"I have someone who wants to see you." you have no idea who would want to see you, but follow behind Luke silently. You keep your head down, not wanting to see the looks of the Rebels. "Hey, Rex!" You startle at the name, looking up to see your boyfriend, alive, standing in front of you. He turns to Luke and nods his head in a certain direction.

"You go see your friends, Luke, I'll take them." He nods and leaves, leaving you alone with Rex. You keep your head down, not wanting to see the anger and disgust on his face. "Luke told me what you did, Y/N." You look up at Rex, you don't see disgust or anger in his face. You see sadness.

"I'm sorry. You'd probably be happier if I'd died with the Jedi." You whisper sadly, looking back down. You feel Rex wrap his arms around you, pulling you close to him. "I wouldn't have been happier if you'd died. I just want to know why you turned to the darkside." You feel tears fill your eyes as you stiffle a sob.

"I... I just... It was coming for a while, but I held it back. I wasn't going to fall, but then Order 66 happened, and I thought I had lost you and all my friends, both clones and Jedi. Anakin offered me a place beside him, I didn't know about the chips then, or that everything was Palpatine's doing." You pause to take a shuddering breath, Rex looks down at you and waits for you to continue. "Then you and I met again, I was going to leave and join you but Palpatine told me you were dead, and I wouldn't have been able to get away from him anyway. He was to strong."

Rex pulls you close again, you sob into his chest, then you push away. "I should go--" "why?" Rex asks, you look up at him. "Why do you want me around you, I turned to the dark side." Rex pulls you a little closer to him, cupping your cheek. "Not fully, there are people in the rebellion that told me about you, how you let them go. You risked your life, the Emperor would have killed you if he knew. That means there is still good in you, and I won't ever stop believing in you."

He presses a soft kiss to your lips, making you hum. It had been so long since you'd kisses him, kissed anyone actually. And you've missed it. Rex presses a kiss to your forehead, making you let out a sob. "I'm so sorry." You whimper as he hugs you close. "I know, and I'll never leave you. I promise." Rex holds you close as you cry, knowing that whatever happened, you are back in his arms now. Back in the light.

And neither of you will ever part again.
