The Skywalker twins, patron saints of resistance and child soldiers.

Do you think people around Luke and Leia would be accepting of their relationship or hate it??

I think this depends on the story you want to tell. First off, fandom has a thing where they assume the galaxy knows what we, the audience, know. But the fact is, after RotJ, the only people who know Luke and Leia are twins (AND that Vader is their father) are Luke, Leia and Han. People like to assume the rest of their friends know or the entire galaxy knows, but they could choose to keep either or both of those facts a secret. In which case, no one would care if they were together.

Second, even if it does become well known (as in Legends or prequel canon), you can still have their relationship be a secret, or you can write the rules of incest in that universe. Chances are, with all those different planets each likely with thousands of customs, some worlds will have extreme incest taboos and some with have none. So, do you want to write a story where they are persecuted for incest? Or do you want one where it's accepted? Or perhaps some middle ground? Ultimately, I think they could get away with it. He saved the galaxy, she's basically the New Republic Chancellor. They could make new rules, or live above them/in secrecy.

I think, honestly, the news stations would go fucking insane for Luke/Leia. The paparazzi would adore them. They might have some haters, but I suspect the galaxy at large would love their romance. It's pretty epic.

Helloo! Instead of one question, I have three...

How did you get started with fanfics?

What are your favorite Luke x Leia fanfics?

When you first started with incest, did you feel guilty or anything like that?

Thanks for the questions! 1.) So, I'm old. I got into fanfic before I knew it was even a thing. I watched shows and then wanted more stories in that universe and just wrote my own. Eventually I discovered the internet and saw that people wrote their own stories, so I just did my own. Since I was young, I was fearless and posted all my horrible childish stuff, haha. Now I've been writing for years and years and it's second nature to me. I find joining writing communities or fanfic exchange communities helps a lot. I write well to a prompt and a deadline so those work well for me. But you can also just say something like, "I wonder what it would be like if XYZ happened to Character?" and then after thinking for a bit, write down those thoughts.

2.) My favorite Luke/Leia stories are pretty much all ones I've written, because... idk, I'm vain or perhaps just because I write the sort of stories I like. You can find my fanfics [here]. I think one of my favorites I've written is "Legend of the Twin Stars."

3.) Yes, when I first started realizing I shipped Luke/Leia (and/or other incest pairings) I did have a lot of guilt about it. I often rationalized it like, "Well, they didn't know, so it's okay" or (for another fandom) "They're not human so the have different taboos" and so on. Eventually, I realized that our culture has really brainwashed us with regards to incest. Two consenting adults who are attracted to each other should be able to have a romantic/sexual relationship, even if they're siblings, etc. There are, of course, instances where that shouldn't be allowed (such as if they are not consenting or if there is a power imbalance like a father grooming a child, etc.). But if a man meets his adult daughter for the first time when she's 22? It should be fine. If Luke and Leia were real and met for the first time at 19, it should be legal. (Even the inbreeding stuff falls apart since we don't deny any other two people the chance to have kids, even if we know they have a high risk of genetic diseases. Also, if it was about the children, then same-sex incest would be legal, and/or if they agreed to be sterilized it'd be fine. So it's obviously not just that.) Anyway, that's a big long rant. It took me a long time to come around to that. I also think that fandom is very very different than real life. Just because you like watching a serial killer horror movie doesn't mean you want to be a serial killer. Just because you think Draco Malfoy is hot doesn't mean you like actual villains. Just because you enjoy reading about some sort of sexual fantasy doesn't mean you'd love it in real life. Fanfic is the same. It's okay to ship fictional incest characters. It's not real. It doesn't hurt anyone... and sometimes, it tells a really cool story.

Same anon/ new lukeleia shipper. I also want to add that I really like older Luke and Leia. The scene in Last Jedi really sold me even more so. Not just with their force bond which (the romantic pair Kylo and Rey also has. hint hint). But the promo of them embracing really struck me. I often wonder if sort of Luke's remaining single was not just part of his Jedi creed but also because his remaining love for Leia. Once again I have really vague feelings and ideas. But I like how you worded things. About them counter balancing each other. Say even in canon they work so well together. Are each other ally. But there is such a softness for each other. I don't regret them being siblings. But it would make sense they love each other in a romantic sense too.

Yes, the ending of the prequels is pretty wild, where they're both just floating together like a married couple. One might assume they were Rey's parents. (I've written that lol.) The actions between Luke and Leia in the prequels is much too little, but what we do get is so good. Luke seeing the old hologram was almost too much for me. That was the first time he saw her, the moment he fell in love... and it changed the projection of his life completely.

When I was younger, before Tumblr and all this fancy internet stuff, I definitely believed that Luke remained celibate because of Leia. He was still in love with her, he was still healing from that, and being a nice celibate Jedi was a good way to hide those feelings. (This crops up in a lot of my stories, too. He uses the Jedi no-attachments thing to excuse his feelings, but usually he gives in to them as well hehehe.) Now that I'm older and wiser (lol) I don't always adhere to that characterization of him. But I do think it's a very obvious one. I think it's easy to say they both "chose" other paths (she "picked" Han, he "picked" being a no-attachments Jedi) as a way to hide their true feelings for each other. But of course fanfic is what we use to force them together to deal with those feelings anyway, haha.

So glad you're discovering them and thinking about them. They're really such an incredible pairing. The fact that they're twins sometimes sucks, but it also is what makes their relationship so interesting and powerful.

[brotherskywalker]

This is without a doubt the hottest relationship out there and why aren't there more comics like this?

There are some, but most of them are tongue-in-cheek like this, sadly. I've found a few nice fanarts of them together, and some comics with Han also, but there really aren't any good Luke/Leia sexy comics out there... so strange and sad and weird.

[brotherskywalker]

So I am still new to Luke/Leia pairing. I think what does it for me is that Leia actually softer when she's with Luke. She comforts him after Obi wan's death. Cradles him after his show down with Vader. Meanwhile Luke is driven to help her. To fight by her side. Then they learn about them being related and I can't just see those feeling going away. But I am rambling lol.

No, no, no, not rambling at all! You are speaking THE TRUTH. It's so true. It's totally what drew me to them first, too. They make each other better. Luke softens her, helps calm her down. She inspires and empowers him. They get each other. Watching them interact is a joy because they're on the same wave length. I remember when I first watched Star Wars I was totally confused that Han and Leia got together, because all they did was scream at and insult each other. What was romantic about that? I've softened on Han a little in my old age, but I still think it's not a good pairing.

Luke and Leia definitely get along really well, complement and strengthen each other and clearly those feelings wouldn't just "go away" because they find out they're related. They get suppressed, not the same thing... and that's where fanfic comes in! :D

Welcome to the fandom, my friend!

[brotherskywalker]

happy pride

Leia looking at Luke like this....

[brotherskywalker]

Alright! Sorry for being so absent today! I was building a tool so you can all check your own names on demand.

I am asking that you not talk about it on Hugging Face. I'm sure word will get there eventually, but I'd like to avoid them accessing this as much as possible. Feel absolutely free to spread around Tumblr.

AO3 search tool is here! Use page 1 to search scraped fics by username. Use page 2 to search by work ID (which you'll need to do if you're looking for an anonymous work).

Or you can use this version, which is strongly recommended if you've published more than about 20 fics on the username you're searching.

If you're unsure which to use:

The first link is better if your entire username is a common word. For example, if you're username is just "bread" then you probably can't search yourself in the second link. The first version is way slower, so I recommend trying the second link first and using the first link as a backup option if the second fails.

The first link contains a page to search by work ID. This is good if you have an anonymous or orphaned fic, since that's not going to appear by searching your username.

The second link is better if you have a LOT of fics. It will give you a count of fics so you don't have to add them up. It will show the top 2,000 work results found.

If you have more than 2,000 published works, first off, I am jealous of your motivation. But second, that won't display right on the public version of the tools. You can send an ask or DM to have me do a custom search for you if you have more than 2,000 total works under 1 username.

You can also ask or DM if your entire username is a common word, because you're likely to get drowned out of the search results in that case. Try the tool first, but if it returns a lot of author results for your search, and YOUR name isn't in the results, ask me! There's a decent chance you're in there, but one of the tool's weak points is searching extremely common words.

In case this post breaches containment: this is a tool that only has access to the work IDs, titles, author names, chapter counts, and hit counts of the scraped fics for this most recent scrape discovered in April 2025. There is no other work data in this tool. This never had the content of your works loaded to it, only info to help you check if your works were scraped. If you need additional metadata, I can search my offline copy for you if you share a work ID number and tell me what data you're looking for. I will never search the full work text for anyone, but I can check things like word counts and tags.

Please come yell if the tool stops working, and I'll fix as fast as I can. Version 1 is slow as hell, but it does load eventually. Give it up to 10 minutes, and if it seems down after that, please alert me via ask! Anons are on if you're shy. Version 2 typically loads results within 1 minute and handles most users well.

On mobile, enable screen rotation and turn your phone sideways. It's a litttttle easier to use like that. It works better if you can use desktop.

Some FAQs below the cut:

"What do I need to do now?": At this time, the main place where this dataset was shared is disabled. As far as I'm aware, you don't need to do anything, but I'll update if I hear otherwise. If you're worried about getting scraped again, locking your fics to users only is NOT a guarantee, but it's a little extra protection. There are methods that can protect you more, but those will come at a cost of hiding your works from more potential readers as well.

"I don't want to know!": This tool is 100% optional. If you don't want to know, simply don't click the link. You are totally welcome to block me if it makes you feel more comfortable.

"Can I see the exact content they scraped?": Nope, not through me. I don't have the time to vet every single person to make sure they are who they say they are, and I don't want to risk giving a scraped copy of your fic to anyone else. If you really want to see this, you can find the info out there still and look it up yourself, but I can't be the one to do it for you.

"Are locked fics safe?": Not safe, but so far, it appears that locked fics were scraped less often than public fics. The only fics I haven't seen scraped as of right now are fics in unrevealed collections, which even logged-in users can't view without permission from the owner.

"My work wasn't a fic. It was an image/video/podfic.": You're safe! All the scrape got was stuff like the tags you used and your title and author name. The work content itself is a blank gap.

"It's slow.": Unfortunately, a 13 million row data dashboard is always going to be on the slow side. I think I've done everything I can to speed it up, but it may still take up to 10 minutes to load. It's faster if you can use desktop, but it should work on your phone too.

"My fic isn't there.": If it was published after March 15th, 2025, that was likely after all of the scraping took place. Otherwise, from what I can tell so far, the scraper's code just... wasn't very good, so most likely, your fic was missed by random chance. I am continuing to look for methods to reduce the chances of a work getting scraped anyway, and I will share on this blog if/when I find something that works.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the cost to host the tool! I appreciate you so so so much. As of this edit, I've received more donations than what I paid to make this tool so you do NOT need to keep sending money. (But I super appreciate everyone who did help fund this! I just wanna make sure we all know it's all paid for now.)

(Made some quick edits to the post on 04-May-2025 to update information a bit!)

My roman empire is watching Luke Skywalker go from a whiny, adventerous farm boy to a wise Jedi with an unforgiving amount of sorrow within him.

[brotherskywalker]

Happy Valentine's Day! Here are a few Luke/Leia(/Han) themed Valentine's I found. Please share any others you might have seen or made! Have a great one!

[brotherskywalker]

So aside from Leia and Luke, do you have any other favorite incest pairings?

Nothing that I'm this rabid fannish over. I do like a lot of original works, but those don't really count. I'm weirdly fond of Percy Weasley/Ginny Weasley (Harry Potter), but it's so unpopular it barely counts. I'm fond of Jon/Sansa (Game of Thrones) but I've never written anything for it. There are other pairings I like a lot but don't really actively follow (Android 17/Android 18 from Dragonball Z, Lucrezia/Cesare from The Borgias, Kyousuke/Kirino from Oreimo, etc.)

How about you?

[brotherskywalker]

Any thoughts on Padme/Luke or Padme/Leia?

It's unfortunate she's dead so fic of her with the kids doesn't really exist. I'm all for it (especially Luke/Leia/Padme), but I don't have any specific ideas for it. Perhaps incest is common on Naboo or tolerated or allowed for royalty?

[brotherskywalker]

Is it coincidental that Leia wears white in eps 4 and 5 but in 6 she doesnt? Hmmm 🤔

🤣🤣🤣🤣
