Summary: The Sith Lord Darth Vader lived his life. He probably didn't live it well, but he lived it as well as he knew how. At the end there, he'd even managed to woman up and kill Sidious. But he was dying, and at peace with the past. The past wasn't at peace with him.

This is quite possibly the best Star Wars time-travel fixit AU I've ever read. It's got a very interesting spin on the trope, and it's compellingly written.
