<blockquote>Ekaterin isn't going to settle for anything less than what her aunt has. Author's note: So, I got incredibly snarky about how the custody policy presented in two (2) of the books would, ad absurdum, mean that Ekaterin would go to the Vorthyses after her mother died and the Vorvaynes wouldn't have any hold on her. Then I was like, screw it, let's take canon at its word and write that. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Lir winced, but drew in a deep breath and stood a little straighter. Even to Han’s eyes, he was looking a little worse for wear, wan and thin, as though he’d been stretched too far. It’d been years since they saw one another, but Han was sure he would’ve remembered the grimness he saw here, the dark, haunted bags under his eyes. “I’m afraid you’ve mistaken me for someone else. Excuse me, Captain Solo.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Five times Ivan and Gregor had sex.</blockquote> ➤ I love Ivan

<blockquote>A prompt from meri47-- what careers would each Bennet sibling have, if there were five Bennet brothers instead of sisters?</blockquote> ➤ all of this is fun but oh dang the Eli/Charlotte bit is INCREDIBLE I love it

<blockquote>Magnon wants a better life. It does not come about the way she expects.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“A woman,” Roberta Meserole had said once, lighting a long black cigarette with a silver lighter, “hides in plain sight. Visibility, Haveline, is our most important asset—” She looked up. Around. “Haveline,” she said, “that is not funny.” -- or, how Ankh-Morpork acquired its first female Patrician very, very quietly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Thayet's first summer in Tortall is sweet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A chance meeting between two women in Monte Carlo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>For Vega, friendship with Jennifer Keller is not a second place prize. Now if only she can get rid of these unwanted feelings that the doctor inspires in her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Five times Alfred and Diana were (technically) not on a date, and one time they finally were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A subtle French poison is making Jack feel things that are not appropriate for polite society, nor even for the often impolite society of his ship. This is either the best or the worst day of William Marshall's life.</blockquote> ➤ OH MY GOSH. INCREDIBLE. WHAT THE HECK. (William Marshall is the man who was in love with Jack from the first book)

<blockquote>Prompt: This wasn’t meant to be a date, but we’ve had such a good time and now it’s 2 a.m. and I should really go home… Pairing: T'Pring/Uhura (T'Pura) Rating: G Universe: Academy AU</blockquote>

<blockquote>Sadly, saving the galaxy is easier than learning how to stop crushing on straight girls.</blockquote> ➤ one-sided Jyn/Leia

<blockquote>What if Nancy had been the one to catch Giselle when she fell into the hallway of Robert's apartment with only a towel on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>There's a lot about the world that Shufti doesn't understand. But in her kitchen, things make sense.</blockquote> ➤ I'd never considered this ship before, but yeah, okay, works for me!

<blockquote>There are a thousand things Poe can’t do in the war: he can’t always hit the target, he can’t stop pilots dying by the dozens, he can’t even get Jessika Pava to stop bending her undercarriage on nighttime landings. But he can almost always find one small thing to make General Organa happy, and that's enough for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Lando, Luke, and four different quiet moments.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Leia never intended to start flirting with Poe Dameron. Once she started flirting, she never intended to start sleeping with him, much less develop feelings for him. But then, so few things in her life have turned out the way she expected. Why should this one be any different?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Aleksa knew her daughter was hiding some secrets, but she never could have imagined the truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Jyn's hateful, she knows she is, but it's not often she meets someone for the first time and hates them on sight, hates so hard her fists clench and her jaw grinds. Leia Organa, though. Jyn takes one look at her and feels her blood pressure rise. She's soft and smooth and rounded with curves, every line of her screaming rich and powerful and too good for you, Erso. Jyn's trying to unlearn how to punch her way out of things she doesn't like but she would, she'd punch Leia in the mouth and drag her straight down into the dirt if she could, and she feels like it's written all over her. She doesn't expect Leia to see her. But the Princess' eyes land right on her, down in the ranks, and Leia curls her lip, just a little, and Jyn thinks, fuck, because Leia Organa clearly hates the sight of her about as much as she hates Leia Organa.</blockquote> ➤ I am delighted by this fic's existence (and it is very well executed too!)

<blockquote>The explosion of a Death Star creates enough of a disruption in the fabric of space-time to cause a temporal anomaly. General Hux doesn't quite know how to deal with the appearance of the Grand Moff Tarkin in the middle of the Starkiller's control room. He also doesn't know how much Tarkin has deduced about his situation... or about Hux himself.</blockquote> ➤ the two chapters are sort of...parallel fics with different focuses. And okay I enjoyed chapter 1, but then chapter 2 with the scientists was AMAZING, I'm so pleased, this fic is ridiculous in the best ways

<blockquote>and now all I want in this world is an au where President Skywalker meets the feisty lobbyist Poe Dameron from the environmental nonprofit</blockquote>

<blockquote>"Well then," she says. "Mothma. What do you want with a rebel who's good at knowing how to take a punch and not so good with following any kind of military discipline?" "Teach me," Mothma says, "how to fight like you fight," and Jyn looks her up and down, takes in the white robe, the set of her shoulders, her clear blue eyes.</blockquote> ➤ Mon Mothma is a bit nervous and shy in a way that didn't feel quite right for her character (hahaha like I know anything actually about her....) but otherwise I quite liked the fic

<blockquote>Lady Mothma isn't a queen or a princess. But, Jyn thinks. She's royalty, still, even though her hair is cut shorter than Jyn's. If Lady Mothma needed a knight, Jyn would fight for her. Jyn would even go on her knees, she thinks. Perhaps Lady Mothma needs someone to hold the hem of that white, white robe.</blockquote> ➤ tags: <blockquote>what do you mean "it's ridiculous to write a fic based solely on a trailer "I just have a lot of feelings already about powerful rebel leader women in white dressesand the soldiers who would do anything for them</blockquote>

<blockquote>Sinjir blinks away memories of the dead. He doesn't mourn them. Not really. Something in him is fundamentally broken. So much so that he never notices the tell-tale orange and white until the pilot sits down right next to him.</blockquote> ➤ Sinjir is from "Star Wars: Aftermath" by Chuck Wendig

<blockquote>‘A, um, personal question, ma’am?’ He swivelled the chair around to face her properly. Leia put down her datapad. ‘Within reason, yes,’ she said. She hadn’t failed to notice Poe had struck up some kind of relationship with Finn: on balance, it was probably a good thing, but there was quite an age gap and all kinds of disparity in terms of life experience between them. She ought to have been expecting questions. ‘Why did you stop having sex with Poe?’</blockquote>

<blockquote>In the last days of the Republic, Mon Mothma's politics will be almost eclipsed by her personal relationships.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Shortly after the events of James Luceno's Tarkin, a new threat to the Empire arises: pernicious rumors regarding the Emperor's relationship with his young apprentice. Tarkin and Vader join forces to combat this ... by going on a date.</blockquote> ➤ I actually just read a fic about Tarkin and Vader fake dating. This is a thing that exists. Fandom is amazing.

<blockquote>Phasma is not afraid of Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren has issues with self-control.</blockquote> ➤ ...note author's tags on fic. The author calls this a "dead dove do not eat" sort of fic but apparently this is the dead dove I wanted

<blockquote>Bahorel meets Fantine in 1816 and is conscious of two things: how much better it would be if Fantine was his mistress, and how much Tholomyès needs to be punched. Things change dramatically as a result.</blockquote> ➤ YES PLEASE. ➤ wip through part 2 as of last check
