The Bourne Series

The Bourne Purpose by rsadelle
Post-Jason Bourne fix-it for Nicky. (NB: I haven't seen the movie because of the spoiler about Nicky, but this worked fine for me.)

Quiet, meditative story in which Patty has to come to terms with the damage ghostbusting causes to historic buildings, and Holtzmann has to come to terms with Patty. Lovely.

Star Wars

At the Ready by atrata
She could tell Dameron to light himself on fire and he'd say absolutely, General, happy to help! Of course she tried not to, but if he kept insisting on volunteering for missions without bothering to find out the parameters first, well. Maybe he deserved what he got. Poe would do anything for the General. This is hilariously perfect.

can't take the sky from me by celeste9
Your father and I couldn't sit by and do nothing, Poe's mother had told him all those years ago. Couldn't sit by and do nothing. People said that Poe was brave, that he was a good man, but all he was doing was trying to be the man his mother would have wanted him to be, a man she could be proud of. She had loved him so much that she risked everything to make the galaxy he would grow up in a safer place. Not only for him, but for all the children who had yet to be born. He loved her enough to honor her memory. Poe and his mom and flying. Have tissues handy.

If you (and I can hardly) believe it by zorana

learn to love the skies i'm under by celeste9
The Resistance welcomes Rey in various ways. Oh heart.

my friends, my friends forgive me by ladanse
Bail and Breha raise their daughter. *sobs* This is a really lovely look at Leia growing up from Bail's POV.

put her roots down by celeste9
Really lovely story of Rey finding her way with the Resistance, with her family, and with Poe.

Reprise by Elfpen
Two long, involving stories where Obi-Wan goes back in time at the moment of his death to nine years before the events of TPM; he makes his peace with Qui-Gon, mentors his younger self, and manages to start changing the timeline, hopefully for the better. And it gives excellent Obi-Wan in twice the usual amount! (The series is incomplete - the author says there'll be a third story - but the two extant stories are complete and there's no real cliffhanger at the end.)

Sith All Your Tempests Cannot Hold Me Back by akathecentimetre
Really lovely modern AU where Satine is the British Ambassador to the US, Obi-Wan is a war correspondent and also they are in a relationship with Bail Organa; I admit to being skeptical of that going in, but the whole thing works really well. (also, ♥AHSOKA♥)

A Sprig of Hope by Vera_DragonMuse
"You don't have to," Poe would protest.

"I can feed myself," Rey would insist.

Finn only rolled his eyes and got on with it. He didn't tell them about growing up eating the same routine meals, how the others would smuggle each other the best items as tokens of affection. He didn't tell them that bread became a language of love. Rey and Finn take up gardening, much to the delight of the Resistance. Oh heart.

They were at Mos Bina (Come and see) by TwinEnigma
Fascinating AU where Alderaan is destroyed earlier and Leia ends up a slave on Tatooine and Luke uses local mythology (and Obi-Wan, fitting well into the role of (unwitting in this case) trickster) to free her, and lead the slaves in an uprising.
