doing it by my lonesome
by magneticwave
Luke tries to imagine showing a child a pile of books and saying, these rotting pieces of dust told me you weren’t allowed to see your dad ever again. If Luke had tried something like that on his sister after Ben was born, Leia would’ve told him to fuck off and fuck the Jedi Order, too, for good mea
I myself have torn myself to shreds
by iiscos
The Force whispers in its ageless voice, its touch peaceful and lulling against Vader’s ancient soul, “Tell me your biggest regrets.” Or the five times Anakin traveled back in time with the intention of making things better, and the one time that it actually worked.
i give to you
by treescape
“They’re lovely,” Luke said, and if the pleasure in his voice seemed genuine, his brow furrowed slightly in consternation. Din shrugged uncomfortably, because what was he supposed to do—bring a gift for the kids and nothing for their teacher? Or, Din's been accidentally courting Luke.
starbird
by imaginarykat
As far as Anakin’s concerned, Obi-Wan is the picture of a perfect Jedi. or, Anakin thinks he knows everything about Obi-Wan but doesn't.

i think i'm gonna marry you
by snapdragonpop007
It is an ancient tradition on Mandalore, that before you can ask for someone’s hand in marriage, you first have to defeat them in battle to prove your abilities to care for and provide for the family you’ll have. If you are not a capable warrior, you are not a capable spouse.Luke didn't realize he h
Mystery Man
by snapdragonpop007
Luke is seeing someone, apparently.And really, it’s none of Anakin’s business. Really.
Comfort
by skyl_tales
Obi-Wan stared at her in confusion. "Nurse him? Would it not... cause attachment?" The healer gave him a flat look. "If you started lactating because of your padawan's need, it is a little too late to worry about attachment, Knight Kenobi."Or,What starts as something innocent turns into something e
How (Not) to Meet Your Son's Boyfriend
by fifteenminutesoffame
“You’re blocking the sunlight,” Obi-Wan chides, cast in shadow from Anakin’s hovering, his eyes still closed. “Will you pay attention?” Anakin snaps. “Luke has made me a grandfather.”----------------Anakin just wanted to see why his son felt so happy. Instead, in typical Skywalker fashion, he finds
let's give 'em something to talk about
by ginnyweasleys
Whoever keeps spreading rumors of him and Jyn sleeping together every time she so much as stops by his room is going to get decked if Cassian ever finds them.(or, everyone thinks cassian and jyn are dating, and they're only half-wrong.)
you are a clan of three
by paramoura
Din stands quite still, polite-like, with his hands crossed at his waist. So does Luke. After a moment, the baby crosses his hands too.At last Din appears to relax completely and Luke turns away. ‘I’ll be back for him,’ he tells Din, his voice warm, ‘but first I must attend to my other Padawans.’‘Oh
Immutable, or, Five Times Obi-Wan Kenobi Compromised His Jedi Ethics for Anakin Skywalker

Breaking in a New Normal

A Proud, Unpleasant Sort of Man
by angel_deux
It takes Cassian Andor and Han Solo an embarrassingly long time to realize that they aren't each other's rivals.
people think the strangest things
by slugmutt
“He thought we were married??” Jyn says, rubbing bacta along the knife wound on her leg. “Why would he think that?”Cassian wipes the blood off his forehead and shrugs. “No idea.”(or: six times people assume Jyn and Cassian are married)
right half the time
by fabrega
"Why don't you come with us?" Han asks. "You're pretty good in a fight. I could use you."Luke's first impulse is to refuse on principle, strong feelings of adventure, duty, and revenge making it seem like no choice at all. He bites down on that impulse, stops, and really thinks about it.
One Solid Kick
by copperbadge
Sometimes all the universe needs to be better is one solid kick.
Crash Course
by glittagal333
"Cocksure, tall, dark-haired and handsome, with a smile that spoke volumes of arrogance and never, ever failed to bring a flush to Luke’s cheeks, living on the finest, narrowest edges of law for a living. That was Han. Han was freedom and living unabashedly and sex."Han Solo was the first real intro
Master Kenobi
by Perspicacia
Unfortunately, there really isn’t a good explanation for how Qui-Gon managed to return to Coruscant with two versions of Obi-Wan Kenobi. One is the dutiful little spitfire of a Padawan he left with. The other is a sarcastic, time-traveling General who comes straight from the thickest, most violent p
Steady as she goes
by noelia_g
In which they all live and Jyn Erso is on a quest to fix a droid. Rogue One in the aftermath.
Trading Favours
by caramelle
"Come on," she wheedles. "I'll do the laundry for two weeks. I'll pay for beer the next time we go out." She waves her hands in the air, momentarily flailing around for more ideas. "I'll go down on you."Cassian looks up then. "You're not going to go down on me."She snorts on sheer impulse. "You unde
No Shortage of Sordid
by FreshBrains
The first time Han tries it, Luke feels justified in giving him an entirely accidental nosebleed courtesy of his own tailbone. You can’t just spring that on a guy, anyways.
The Sown Seeds of Greatness
by MasterChiefFunkoPop
"Initiate Kenobi?" Anakin rumbled, cocking his head slightly.Obi-Wan met his gaze as well as he could through the charcoal lenses. "You haven't gotten your Corps assignment yet, have you?""I have, actually," he said, shame coloring his tone as his eyes moved to the floor. "AgriCorps."
run to me in the rising dawn
by katsumi
Jyn has never had anyone stick around before. The battle is over now, but the war rages on and Jyn is already preparing for the day when she loses Cassian, too. (She doesn't realize he's terrified of the exact same thing.)
We've Been Here Before
by angel_deux
She dies on the beach, in his arms. It isn’t the first time. It isn’t even the second. “We’re trapped,” she tells him, blood bubbling up between her lips. His fingers spasm on her wound and he shushes her, his voice shaking. She draws a shuddering breath that rattles in her lungs. “It’s my turn, but
you were my new home
by katsumi
She surprises herself with the force of the want in her. She’s only known him a few weeks—and he’s gruff, and secretive, and single-minded to a dangerous degree—but he’s the first person in a long time she’s had any real ties to. And yes, his loyalty is not to her so much as it is to the cause she’s
