I read a really great story called Into the Storm about an alternate universe where Luke was captured by Vader at the end of ESB and brought before the Emperor.

Gideon
Be warned: Unlike Publius, this story has noticeable grammatical errors and lacks his polish. But the dialogue is, in some places, cleverer, particularly the wordplay between the Emperor and Luke. Vader, Han, Leia, and Mara are all prominent characters, but Luke and Palpatine take centerstage. This story receives dozens of reviews from other amateur authors giving accolades for Blank101's portrayal of Palpatine. I have to agree -- it's far more perverse and chilling than Publius's. But at the same time, it fashions Luke into a formidable enemy.Edit: Have you read it, Red?

I have now. I thought it was very good. I didn't like how Leia/Han were just sort of dropped before the climax. There should have been some closure in that story arc. Aside from the errors (of which there were many) It rivals TOW as a feat of Fanfiction.
Gideon mentions it first and suggests it as an alternative to Publius. You do provide the link first, though.
