How To Give A Presentation To The Imperial Court While Accidentally Committing Light Treason By Making A Friend by Jackdaw_Kraai

Summary
As it turns out, inventing new armor technology was the easy part. Getting it approved for actual production, Luke finds, is a lot more work and a lot more boring. Thankfully, he has his mentor, Darth Vader, to help him sort through the process and occasionally keep him company throughout all the boring meetings. Unfortunately, his industrious and ingenious nature catches the attention of many other people, some of which Luke really wishes he could've avoided the attention of.
After getting summoned to the Imperial Palace by the Emperor to present his latest invention to the Court and the Senate, Luke finds himself smackdab in the middle of a complicated web of Imperial politics, the threads of which he can't yet see.
There lurks more in these shadows than just threats however, and Luke may not be the wholly naïve and inexperienced prey some of the players in the Imperial Court were expecting. With enough charm and tenacity, he finds that here too, friendships can be found and pacts can be forged. And with the full might of Darth Vader at his back, perhaps the Imperial Court would've done better to leave well enough alone.
Too late now though. Ready or not, Imperial Center, Here Comes Luke Skywalker!

Summary
We rejoin our favorite Engineer three days after our adventure on Imperial Center, caught up on the backlog of work and ready to continue his crusade to improve the tech aboard the Lady one piece at a time.
A dire accident puts a halt to that plan, and before the dust has even settled, Luke is rushed to medical under dire circumstances, Darth Vader is besides himself with worry, and Firmus Piett never asked for any of this. Unfortunately, the later two will have to make quick work of the investigation, as shadowy entities creep closer with dark designs, revealing that the accident may not have been that accidental.
Sabotage, treason, and mystery. A deadly cocktail that will have bodies hitting the floor as the search for the traitors tears through the Lady like a witchhunt. No one commits treason aboard the Lady and gets away with it, and with the young engineer injured, the crew finally shows their true colors.
All the while Luke has to recover from this tragedy, and learn to live without that which cannot be replaced. But Vader is there for him, and through all the pain and grief, something may yet grow from this as bonds grow stronger and deeper.
And in the background, something ancient stirs.

Summary
Vader has enough and kills the Emperor before he can get his hands on Luke. But not before the Emperor reveals Luke as Vader’s son and is killed by the Rebellion. Drowning in grief and unsure of what to do, Vader accepts a mission from the new Emperor Thrawn to track down a force sensitive stollen from the Empire.
At least, he thinks his son is dead.
Unbeknownst to anyone else, Din Djarin has been assigned to protect Luke Skywalker from the Rebellion, the Empire and everyone in between. Which wouldn’t have been too hard…if Luke had access to his magic and lightsaber.
In short, Din and Vader unknowing protect the other’s son while trying to uncover (or at least survive) the plan that Thrawn has in store.
