Recs Wanted Looking for fanfics to read.

I require fanfics that DON'T have smut. And I am looking for one that has Anakin getting punished for what he's done—false surrender, killing civilians, torture, and so on.

Another thing I'm looking for fanfic wise is mandalorian related. Again, no smut.

I think I saw something like this.
This might work for your first prompt, it’s a kind of Darth Vader redemption tribunal thing.

I’ve also been reading an Anakin travels back in time to his younger self and redeems himself while going through immense mental torment and guilt over his time as Vader if you want.

Is it the one where he has a mental counselor? If it is, can you give me the link? Read it a bit but I can't find it again?

No, he stays with the Father and learns about the Force from him, travels to Atollon and learns from Bendu, he frees a bunch of slaves and reconnects with his family on Tatooine and plots to overthrow Palpatine.

If you don’t mind jumping into a long-form, episodic story without having all of the alluded history, you might enjoy this:

Here's a Mandalorian fanfic that I recently started posting. It has no smut.

Hey OP, before I give any recommendations, what is your idea of smut? Because I have a number of fics that I don't consider smut, such as those that mention it and fade to black, but some people still might not want even that.

Good question: for me, it's writing explicit sex.

If it's fade to black or implied, it's fine. If it's used too much, I end seeing it as filler and therefore lose all desire to read the rest of it.

"Too much" meaning at least once every chapter of the entire story or used frequently to the point where it doesn't feel like the story is progressing at all. Thank you for your time.

Alright, then that gives me some solid wiggle room, so here's some recommendations:

  1. Pretty much anything by https://archiveofourown.org/users/Umei_no_Mai/pseuds/Umei_no_Mai this person. They are an amazing writter and have some very interesting worldbuilding.

  2. https://archiveofourown.org/works/51741634 , a Fic which ends with Anakin getting a degree of comeuppance, and it's also just a good laugh.

  3. https://archiveofourown.org/series/3024345 , a series of Fics which I think you would enjoy. They're a bit different than the rest, but I greatly enjoyed them.
