Star Wars

and the stars did wander by admiralholdo
Leia carries many ghosts with her, but Padme's was the first. This is achingly lovely (but could use another editing pass).

Rey, Finn, and Poe find their way forward together after TLJ. <3

Paper Trails; A Triptych of Leia Organa by glorious_clio
Lovely look at Leia over the years (pre-movies). I especially love how this highlights her relationship with Breha.

Chewie points out that at least when Lando owned this ship, it was clean, and flaps a hand at the latest set of scuffs from Han slouching on the couch without taking his boots off. Han never had a mom, but if he had, and she'd been terrifyingly tall and hella hairy and weirdly specific about hygiene, then he guesses she'd have been just like Chewbacca.

"When I first met you, you were living in a mud cave," Han reminds him. "This is definitely much, much better. Besides, you know, we're the not-exactly-bad-but-definitely-neutral guys! We need a few scratches, a few dents, a few caf-cup rings on the tables, you know?"

Chewie has been gathering mugs with a look of great suffering, and departs off toward their galley with a grumble that Han catches nonetheless.

"Awesome smugglers don't use coasters!" he calls after him. "Ask anyone!" Han doesn't even like Lando, okay. He doesn't know why Chewie is even friends with that guy. This is hilarious.

Ventress runs into Rey on Jakku and mentors her for a while. Oh heart.

The Trick is to Keep Breathing by AceQueenKing
AU where Vader survived at the end of RotJ, and years later (post-TLJ), Leia reluctantly comes to him for help fighting the First Order. Fascinating and heartbreaking.

Poe gets the chance to fix his mistakes and he takes it. Oh heart.

Waste Management by shadydave
The kids undertake a mission to rescue General Organa from the First Order. This is a rollicking good time.
