<blockquote>"It's a draw," she pants, sitting up. Their sparring matches almost always are these days. "Boring." "Do you have any better ideas?" Her twitchy, feral energy is starting to make Din itch, like boredom might be contagious. He knows he's made a tactical error when she grins at him. "Let's fuck."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Anakin Skywalker dies, and Padmé Amidala wakes up, with all his power. </blockquote>

<blockquote>"Jyn talked herself into a corner with her grandma," Han explained. "Now she needs a fake boyfriend for Christmas." "Why doesn't Cassian do it?" Luke asked, and Jyn scowled at him. [In which Jyn, in an attempt to get her mother's overbearing, gossipy, and traditional family off her back for one freaking Christmas, conscripts Cassian to join her as her (fake) boyfriend for the whole week in England. Shamelessly, wildly, gleefully AU.]</blockquote> ➤ Feels more like origfic bc it's so far divorced from canon, but I enjoyed it regardless

<blockquote>It's a grieving process, of some kind.</blockquote> ➤ Lando dealing with L3's death

<blockquote>Anakin has always had an easy time getting what he wants. (He never means to do it.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>"We should take the general on a mission," Rose said. "One that's useful and not fatal." “We have those?” Finn asked. “Probably not fatal if well-executed,” Rose amended. The surviving members of the Resistance decide the best way to help Leia is to take her on a recruiting mission to Rose's home world.</blockquote>

Notes: Written for this prompt at the Star Wars Kink Meme: So, exactly how did Qi’ra go from being part of Lady Proxima’s gang to working for Dryden Voss and the Crimson Dawn? What are all the terrible things she’s done? How did Dryden Voss find her, and how did she become his most trusted lieutenant?</blockquote> ➤ YEAH. THIS FIC!

<blockquote>Sometimes Leia wonders why she couldn't just get herself an ordinary boyfriend. But she knows why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Leia knows how to fire a blaster, survive an interrogation, and escape from the Death Star, but she's still missing a few essential survival skills -- like how to apologize, how to accept help from a friend, and okay, she might not know how to wash her own clothes or cook a real dinner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Leia and Han had escaped from Imperial assaults, been captured by Jabba the Hutt, blown up the shield generator on Endor, and helped to found the New Republic. After all that, raising a child together couldn’t be that hard, right?</blockquote>

<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>Finn and Rey's epic space road trip adventure, featuring pirates, kittens, and the Force ghost of Anakin Skywalker.</blockquote> ➤ I liked the way Anakin was characterized, and the interactions between the three characters

<blockquote>Leia had spent a lot of time lately fantasizing about being Vratix, in which case Han would be the one expanding to the size of a planetary ring. Pregnant!Leia fluff (with some foreboding).</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Padmé and Anakin keep in touch after TPM, and this changes literally everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“It might be better for you to die,” Obi-Wan muses as she holds her children in her arms. Padmé looks up at him and arches an eyebrow. “I didn’t mean literally,” he clarifies. “I know what you meant. I’m thinking about it.” Padmé survives childbirth, dies as far as the rest of the galaxy is concerned, takes her children with Obi-Wan, and runs. Pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Padmé and Obi-Wan raise the twins together while hiding from the Empire.</blockquote> ➤ and kill Vader in the end

<blockquote>The Sith Lord Darth Vader lived his life. He probably didn't live it well, but he lived it as well as he knew how. At the end there, he'd even managed to woman up and kill Sidious. But he was dying, and at peace with the past. The past wasn't at peace with him.</blockquote> ➤ I always enjoy the time-travel fix-it trope, and this one doesn't disappoint. It does get a little boring eventually because it spends so much time on its ideas of what Dark and Light really mean (though its ideas are interesting!), but I enjoy a great deal about this fic, including the way that Anakin and Padme have to actually WORK on their relationship

<blockquote>Beru knows that Luke will return to the stars one day. Owen pretends that he doesn't know it. Three loosely connected stories from Luke's early life on Tatooine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Are we dating?” Breha said to him one afternoon in the Academy’s library. Or, the life and times of Breha and Bail Organa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>A series of vignettes, which cover a time period from a few months after ANH to just after ROTJ. It looks at Han's early perceptions of Leia as Luke's potential girlfriend -- and the ways in which his perceptions change, over time, as he ends up falling for Leia himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan swap bodies. Plot does not ensue.</blockquote> ➤ Anakin/Padme while Anakin's in Padme's body and Padme's in Obi-Wan's. Hints towards Anakin/Padme/Obi-Wan

<blockquote>Anakin promised to free all the slaves and it is a promise he intends to keep. Struck by visions of a slave uprising on Tatooine, he runs away to join the fight. Five years later, it his new alliance of former slave worlds that the Republic fears, rather than a Separatist threat. Enlisted to negotiate a peace treaty, Senator Amidala is dispatched to find Anakin, alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, who only wishes to bring his former Padawan home. AOTC timeframe</blockquote> ➤ I enjoyed it, but also a) found it stressful and b) did not do a good job of actually following the plot stuff. I have literally zero idea what Luminara's intentions/plans were, for example. ➤ But I really like the premise of Anakin running away to free the slaves and just keeping on expanding that vision until he's basically the leader of much of the outer rim.

<blockquote>“My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?” A ship with locked hatches, and not being able to take things back. But from the moment she lets Han kiss her—she LETS him KISS her, and she kisses back—they know where this road will end up. Really, both of them have already known for a while. She’s just decided to stop fighting.   This is another Han and Leia en route to Bespin first time scene. There are many like it, but this one is mine.</blockquote>
