History FanFic / ThereWillBeMusicDespiteEverything

A {{Crossover}} series between the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and the Franchise/StarWars franchises, [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/595543 there will be music despite everything]] posits the question: what if Anakin Skywalker, just after ''ReturnOfTheJedi'', was somehow transported into the MCU after death? The short answer: he ends up taking on the role of [[CompositeCharacter Dr. John Foster]] in ''{{Thor}}''.

* BackFromTheDead: Sort of. Anakin ended up in the MCU just after his death in ''Jedi''. [[spoiler:As it turns out, this happens to everyone in ''Franchise/StarWars'' who dies, as RogueOne shows up. Seems the LaserGuidedAmnesia is just Anakin, though.]]

* MuggleBestFriend: Darcy, who is surrounded by Jedi, scientists, and at least one PhysicalGod at all times.

** "Good strange or bad strange?" comes up first in ''(trying to be) less volatile, less violent'', then again in ''a leak in last night's dream''.

-->Padmé Amidala wakes up in the MCU and dodges a car accident. Anakin Skywalker wakes up in the MCU and--[[LaserGuidedAmnesia doesn't]]. years later, Darcy Lewis takes an internship under a Dr. John Foster, and unknowingly gets herself entangled in otherworldly affairs. which sucks, because she really just wanted to pad out her hypothetical job application.

* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:"Which one of us managed to [[Film/ThePhantomMenace navigate his way through a warzone in a ship he had no experience with at nine?]] Because this is almost exactly like that. Subverted when RealityEnsues and Anakin causes a significant amount of damage.]]

* ForScience: Anakin and Selvig are benevolent scientists. [[StarWarsLegends Jenna Zan Arbor]], on the other hand, makes an appearance in the series' version of ''Winter Soldier'', and displays this attitude towards her work.

* CoincidentalBroadcast: Much like in canon, Ahsoka's landing on the news channel that's broadcasting Selvig's streaming through Stonehenge answers the question of where he's been for most of the fic. However, just before that, she lands on the lightsaber battle between Vader and Luke in ''ReturnOfTheJedi''.

* {{Foil}}: Anakin and Thor end up serving as one to each other. Anakin is a human ScienceHero with a DarkAndTroubledPast, who JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl to save his wife]], while Thor is a PhysicalGod AllLovingHero who keeps hold of his morals even in the midst of his mother's near-death, his lover's impending death via possession by MacGuffin, and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

--> Ahsoka shrugs, looks back at Anakin. “I have,” she says, quiet, “and I haven’t. Both are true, from certain points of view.” She hasn’t known John Foster very long, but she knows Anakin Skywalker well. Knew him well. Or she thought she did. “How true is debatable,” she admits, after a moment’s reflection.

* IAmWho: [[spoiler:Anakin's initial disbelieving reaction to Frigga telling him his last name.]]
