''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11539302/chapters/25908651?view_adult=true Compromising]]'' is a ''Franchise/StarWars'' fanfic written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/samvelg/pseuds/samvelg samvelg]].

The fic takes the general premises of fanfics where Luke is captured by Darth Vader and brought aboard the executor, and asks what the crew are thinking of Vader's obsessive quest for Luke Skywalker in said fics. The answer is a lower-deck told from the perspective of Admiral Firmus Piett as the crew of the Executor misunderstand the nature of Luke and Vader's explanations and arrive at [[MistakenForGay outrageous conclusions]].

!!Compromising provides examples of:
* BeleaguredAssistant: Piett is one to Darth Vader.
* BrainBleach: The amount of Corellian whiskey drunk the previous night is not enough to erase a transcript of a discussion between two stormtroopers (about the physical logistics of a carnal relationship between Luke and Vader) from Piett's mind.
* BridalCarry: Vader carries Luke this way after rescuing him from being tortured at the beginning of the fic.
* BroadStrokes: Although the story presumably takes place after ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', Han is implied to not be frozen in carbonite.
* ColdBloodedTorture: Luke is subjected to torture twice in the story, once through the Rebellion and once through [[BigBad The Emperor]].
* ColorFailure: After Leia asks Vader something (presumably why Luke is so important to him), Vader's response (presumably that Luke is his son) causes Leia to turn pale.
* CrackFic: Of the "Crack Treated Seriously" variety.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Luke wears dark-colored clothes while on the ''Executor''.
* DataPad: Someone on the bridge of the ''Executor'' drops one after Luke bursts out laughing.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: The title refers to Luke and Vader's plans/goals regarding the Emperor as much as it refers to the many intimate moments between Luke and Vader that Piett witnesses.
* DramaticDrop: Someone on the bridge of the ''Executor'' drops a data pad after Luke bursts into laughter at what is implied to be a telepathic joke.
* EntertaininglyWrong: The initial betting pool on the Executor wonders whether Luke is Emperor's illegitimate son (close), Darth Vader's new Sith Apprentice (incorrect) or his lover (very incorrect).
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Downplayed, when Vader learns of Luke's kidnapping, the temperature noticeably drops (presumably due to Vader's force abilities).
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Piett is "strangely calm at the thought of his imminent demise" after getting caught up in the crew's speculation of Vader's personal life.
* FiveThingsFic: Five times Piett misunderstands the relationship between Luke and Darth Vader and the one time he doesn’t.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: Vader and Luke argue in Huttese four times and have a shouting match in [[Fanfic/DoubleAgentVader Amatakka]], the latter culminating in Luke breaking down crying.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Piett starts thinking about his bottle of Corellian whiskey after witnessing a number of interactions between Luke and Vader that could be considered scandalous.
* LittleNo/BigNo: Vader when he can no longer sense Luke in the Force.
* LowerDeckEpisode: The fic is focused on Firmus Piett and the crew of the ''Executor''. In canon, they were minor characters.
* MarriedToTheJob: Piett considers himself such, reasoning that relationships would lead to distractions.
* MistakenForGay: Because of a lack of information, the entirety of personnel aboard the Executor assume that Luke is Vader’s lover rather than his son.
* MythologyGag:
* "Help me Darth Vader, you're [[Film/ANewHope my only hope]]."
** Luke and Vader both speak Amatakka, from Fialleril's ''Fanfic/DoubleAgentVader'' series.
** Luke wears a half cape in reference to ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/6745156/chapters/16127191 Allegiance]]'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/KaelinaLovesLomaris/pseuds/KaelinaLovesLomaris KaelinaLovesLomaris]].
* OneWordTitle: The fic's title is "Compromising".
* PowerNullifier: Luke gets saddled with an inhibitor collar that cuts him off from the Force.
* TheReveal: In-Universe, the news that Luke is Vader's son.
* SleepDeprivationPunishment: One of the torture techniques Luke was subjected to before the start of the fic is sleep deprivation.
* SympatheticPov: The fic is told from the perspective of Piett, a man who is simultaneously fascist AND long-suffering.
* TitleDrop: In addition to Piett hoping that a "kata" is a Jedi thing and not something compromising, this occurs at the very end of the fic
-->'''Luke''': What can I say? We're compromising.
* VillainousRescue: Vader rescues Luke from being tortured at the beginning of the fic.
