Summary
Some would call it terrible timing. Some would call it providence. It really all depended on who you asked. And who was to say it couldn’t be both, from a certain point of view?
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away when Luke Skywalker is found by his father, the course of his life changes forever and so does the galaxy. Vader knows his son will never be safe as long as Palpatine sits on the throne, so thus it begins, and all is as the Force wills with a new adventure of forging alliances, a secret rebellion, and finding family in even the strangest of times. And it begins something like this, a story about a boy with stars in his eyes who was meant to kill his father, a girl with red gold hair who was meant to never know family or love, and a man in a mask who thought he had become the monster.
Updates on Fridays!

Summary
A treasury of single-chapter fics that tickle our fancy, not always in chronological order, although dates will be indicated. These are the ideas that grow out of our nocturnal fandom discussions after the kids have gone to bed. Some are off-the-wall, some are quite serious. Some are both. Join us as we read through Star Wars Legends writing gapfiller all the way. Shameless (but non-explicit) fan service for the perfectionships that are Han/Leia and Luke/Mara.
Chapter 47: The Breaking Point. Everyone has his limit. Luke Skywalker is afraid he might have found his. (Our final gapfiller for Legacy of the Force: Revelation by Karen Traviss.)

Vows of Survival by Pippopok, Pippopok2 (Pippopok)

Summary
It is an open secret among the Rebel troops that many of the top Rebellion commanders have spouses in the Imperial ranks whom they were forced to abandon for the greater good when they deserted. Because of this, a policy was put in place: the spouse of a current Rebel soldier, if captured, may not be executed and must be held unharmed as a political prisoner.
Mara Jade, whose connection to the force has been inexplicably struggling since a chance run-in with an unknown force-sensitive on Daiyu, has been given one final chance to redeem herself to the Emperor after a string of mishaps. Her new mission, to investigate a recently unearthed Jedi temple, finds her once again face to face with Luke Skywalker. When the mission goes awry and nearly costs Mara her life, she finds herself waking up a prisoner on a Rebel base.
Despite Luke's protests, Rebel High Command quickly deems Mara too dangerous to be left alive, and plans to execute her for the safety of The Alliance. Luckily, Luke knows a loophole that just might save Mara's life.
As long as he can get her to agree to it, that is.

Summary
15 years have passed since the defeat of the First Order and the Sith. The galaxy has reformed and created a new government system known as the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, the Resistance continuing to operate under the leadership of Poe and Finn Dameron. The name, Rey Skywalker, has become legend, as she travels across the galaxy to learn more about the old Jedi Order and how to fix their past mistakes. After gathering much knowledge, she feels ready to begin her own New Jedi Order.
One day, the Resistance receives a report of a kidnapping of children on Coruscant. Rey, Finn, and Poe go to investigate it, discovering a plot of the Guavian Death Gang kidnapping young Force sensitives for the person who hired them. Rey swears to protect these kids, wanting to know who wants them and why.
This leads to the Jedi Master discovering that the Sith Eternal is not completely dead, as there is one survivor from Exegol's cult who has one final mission.
"Kill Rey Skywalker."

Summary
Grand Admiral Thrawn has returned to the galaxy and has taken control of the shattered Imperial navy. As the shadow of renewed war looms over the New Republic and the Outer Rim, a new threat to the next generation of Jedi and other Force users preoccupies many heroes of the Rebel Alliance trying to find their place in the new order. Thrawn's plans remain unclear, as members of the New Republic, denizens of the Outer Rim underworld, and the identity-challenged Imperial remnants jockey for position and struggle to see the full picture. The answer may lie in the vast reaches of the Unknown Regions, where friend and foe wait, come from outside the galaxy, or even from the past.
A canon-compliant, loose homage to Heir to the Empire from the original 1990s Thrawn Trilogy, and a love letter to Star Wars Legends and the new adventures of the Filoni and Favreau era.
CURRENTLY: Jacen Syndulla meets Thrawn, Agent Kallus does his job, and Kata Akuna and Cal Kestis are on a road trip.

Summary
She hates that about him, how he’s the personification of a warm, sunny day in an otherwise cold and snow-filled landscape, or how he can melt the toughest of hearts with compassionate words and a ridiculously contagious grin. His friends and family love him fiercely and protectively. It’s hard not to, she has to admit – he sees the good in everything and everyone. Including her.
Mara wishes she never met Luke Skywalker.

Summary
Xtober! I am giving it a try. I consistently tried to write for the Whumptober prompt first. You'll also see some days I substitute Angstober or Flufftober, or incorporate them together.
Several scenes are related in the same AU (but not in chronological order in their timeline, which is fun) that I hope to turn into a multi chap later.
And then there are just some random unrelated scenes to fit the prompts. All Star Wars.
Whump #6: “Do or die, you’ll never make me, because the world will never take my heart.”
Recording | Made to Watch | “It should have been me”If you've read the past works in the series (thank you so much! appreciate you!), this one takes place later than all the others so far.
Universe: This takes place in an AU of Legends where Luke and Mara meet for the first time at the rescue from Jabba's Palace in RotJ. I plan to set a multi-chap in this AU in the future that uses a lot of the scenes and drabbles I'm posting this month for Xtober.

Summary
Mara Jade, Jedi apprentice, is ready to return to business as usual after her little adventure on Corellia. She could even learn to live with the strange visions that haunt her sleep and her new nemesis living right under her nose in the employ of the very senator whom Mara is sworn to protect.
However, when a strange series of murders committed with a lightsaber incite public suspicion that a Jedi may be on a killing spree, Mara sets herself on the killer's trail and along the way uncovers secrets that could shatter her faith in the Order--and in her own Master, Anakin Skywalker.
All is not as it seems! Rivalries simmer, friends die, and kissing occurs only very occasionally. If you like Jedi philosophy, clone trooper angst, and some spookiness, step right up!
