<blockquote>To earn her place on the Falcon, Leia has to be useful, so she tries to learn everything she can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"If Vader captures you, if he threatens to torture or kill you, you tell him you're Padmé Amidala's daughter."</blockquote>

<blockquote>When your father dies, say the Coruscanti, you are left clutching a star map for a different galaxy.   In this, as in many things, Leia is her fathers' daughter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>See that line where the sky hits the sand? It calls me.</blockquote> ➤ what a great idea for a vid, and well executed too!

<blockquote>Basically team vid for the Rebellion/Resistance.</blockquote> ➤ wow that inspired a lot more feelings than I was expecting, good work vid

<blockquote>Leia dreams of a beautiful woman with long curly hair. Sometimes, she's smiling brightly, and sometimes, she's sad, but Leia knows, deep in her heart, that this is her birth mother, and that she loves Leia very much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Food and love have a lot in common. Leia learns how to cook. This takes some time.</blockquote> ➤ three times Leia cooks with someone else

<blockquote>How Bodhi Rook temporarily misplaced the two most important things in the galaxy, and how he found them again (with a little help).</blockquote> ➤ a fixit that still makes you cry is the best/worst. This was so good and now I care so much for Bodhi's family and for all of Jedha auuuuughhghg

<blockquote>Obi-Wan didn't become Qui-Gon Jinn's apprentice, and Ben didn't exile himself to Tatooine. On Bandomeer the two meet.</blockquote> ➤ marked as a wip and hasn't updated in a year, but it feels like a good ending place to me so it doesn't read like a wip. ➤ This fic is a lovely look at how being part of the Agricorps instead of the Jedi Order can actually be a /good/ thing

➤ this vid is really amazing in a lot of ways, but I'm really not a fan of the occasional word that's edited into the visuals - it's just distracting and doesn't add anything imo. But I love everything else enough to make up for that. ➤ (on tumblr http://beccatoria.tumblr.com/post/146222208736/vidukon-2016-auction-vid-made-for-noeliag-who)

<blockquote>Rey accidentally time-travels, and realizes that Jedi are even more weird than she had ever imagined.</blockquote> ➤ temporary meditation-induced time travel

<blockquote>Leia’s to-do list consisted of just one task: defeat the First Order and reclaim liberty and justice for the galaxy. She had no intention of becoming anyone’s mother, and given how well her previous attempt at parenting had gone, that was probably a good thing.</blockquote> ➤ ugh found family feeeeelings

<blockquote>In the weeks after Mustafar, Vader must come to terms with his new body and the remnants of his past. In the process, he has a few conversations that he does not expect.</blockquote> ➤ renovating the jedi temple post-RotS, and encountering a lot of ghosts

<blockquote>“For you,” she mumbles, cheeks going pink, and shoves something into his hand. “Oh, hey, you don’t have to give me anything —“ he starts, looking down, then blinks a few times at his open palm. “It’s a rock,” she adds unnecessarily.</blockquote> ➤ I love how much of this fic consists of Rey having weird reactions to things because her life on Jakku has taught her very different things.

<blockquote>I care more for that long age which I shall never see than for the little of Time that I hold // Padmé Amidala is forgotten, not gone.</blockquote> ➤ the two "ghost story" sections I don't like as much, but everything else is fabulous

<blockquote>Leia wavers. “I’m not like you, Luke.” Luke’s face turns puzzled, bemused. Leia hurries to continue before he can stop her. “I don’t have a great destiny. I haven’t been to any swamps seeking old mentors, I don’t have Kenobi looking over my shoulder to make sure I do the right thing.” “You’re my sister,” Luke says, and she doesn’t know how to make him understand. OR: The one where Leia trains in the Force.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which what was meant to be a silly fic about Luke's farmboy water obsession turned into a story about grief, mourning, culture shock and friendship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Uncle Owen knows a lot, but Luke knows he's wrong about old Ben Kenobi.</blockquote>

<blockquote>For a moment, Luke's half-amused at himself, for misunderstanding such a simple question, one that's asked all the time on the homesteads - who are your people, where are you from? / On Yavin Four, after the Death Star, before the battle, out of the ashes, Luke Skywalker becomes a Rebel pilot.</blockquote> ➤ Luke is asked about his next-of-kin

<blockquote>ObiWan lost the duel on Mustafar, but instead of dying, he finds himself on a ship leaving Tatooine, with his old Master and a familiar young boy. As events begin to unfold, can he stop the future he knows from occuring? TPM AU, ObiAniQui bonding, DONE!</blockquote>

<blockquote>In the chaos of conflict as a Republic crumbles into an Empire, two babies are smuggled to safety to keep them safe from a Sith Emperor's attention. It will not be enough. Their lives take very different paths, one raised as the Alliance's New Hope, the other as the Empire's Son.</blockquote> ➤ ft. Luke as raised by Palpatine and Leia as raised by Obi-Wan. Mostly Han pov. This fic is complete. ➤ The sequel, Empire's Son II, is found here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11540131/1/Empire-s-Son-II ➤ Read sequel through ch 10. (Since completed & I need to reread & finish.) ➤ The first fic was a lot about Luke but the character with the growth/change arc that actually reached a conclusion was Han. ➤ The sequel is clearly setting itself up to be about Luke having his own character arc now because it has done a thing that is going to make Luke have to finally, like, make a decision. Eventually. At some point. I hope. LUKE YOU CAN LEAVE PALPATINE IT'S OKAY.

<blockquote>You can't go home again, and you can't hide from the past. Ten years after Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker doesn't want anything to do with the Jedi or the Empire, but that doesn't mean they don't want him.</blockquote> ➤ the first chapter (about half the length of the full work) is a complete story in itself. The remaining two chapters are abandoned beginnings of sequels.

➤ does what it says on the tin. rule 63 Anakin and Obi-Wan end up in our universe and meet Luke, Leia, and Han. ➤ incomplete thought experiment sort of thing, but what exists is GREAT ➤ (I'm really unsure whether to tag this gen or femslash so I guess I'll go with both?)

<blockquote>The Force isn't the only kind of power</blockquote> ➤ Leia-centric, post-movie. This fic leaves me wanting to swear at it, in the most complimentary kind of way. HDU give me all these feels, fic!

<blockquote>A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….</blockquote> ➤ wordless music with clips from ot, prequels, and vii

<blockquote>Rey is XO of a piece of junk, her captain is a foul-mouthed Wookiee who doesn’t respect people who respect authority, and there are pictures of naked people glued to the ceiling of the Falcon. She honestly couldn't be more thrilled.</blockquote> ➤ soooo apparently this fic is EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I WANTED after the movie. goddamn.

<blockquote>Naboo artist Palo Torezi gets a request for very specific art from Lord Vader.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The only thing Stormtroopers own are stories.</blockquote> ➤ A bunch of OC stormtroopers, and how they react to hearing about Finn. Of course: storytelling is such an inescapably human thing, of course the First Order didn't manage to condition it out of the stormtroopers
