Fic Rec: Sparks by SpellCleaver
Title: Sparks
Author: SpellCleaver
Summary:
Vader had every intention of ignoring that petty-if notorious-burglar on Coruscant, until evidence suggested that this "Angel" had Rebel ties.
Meanwhile, Luke never expected his father to actively hunt him down, and he doesn't like it.

This story starts as a fun romp. Think Raffles meets Star Wars. Vader killed Kenobi when Luke was a baby, and took Luke. Luke at 18 is stealing for the Rebellion, and is friends with Leia. Leia is being trained by Asoka.
This story does start getting a bit dark about chapter 20, I think. There are some hints of darkness earlier, like in chapter 9....

Piett gave another droll smile at the look on his face. "You've saved a lot more lives than you've ended, Luke," he said, putting a hand on his shoulder. His sleeve slipped down as he did; Luke's eyes found the little pink bracelet looped around his wrist, cluttered with mismatching yellow, green and magenta beads.
Piett followed his gaze. "These have saved a lot of lives as well," he said. "No one you've given a bracelet to has ever come to harm; Lord Vader won't touch them."
"It shouldn't be like that," Luke muttered. It... really wasn't great that the Empire allowed his father to get away with that. Friendship bracelets made by a nine year old should not be the only thing that stopped him.
Piett just grimaced, and didn't reply.

Yes, definitely recommend this fic.
