Wrapped Around

Pairing Kim Namjoon x (f)reader Rating pg13 | 16+ Genre/Tropes Dad!Tan, first time parents Warnings Some details of birth, nothing overly graphic though, all soft fluff, and buff dad!namjoon WC 454 Crosspost AO3 - herecomessatvrn Summary Together, you made life, and in that moment, you were no longer the only girl in his life. A/N Thank you so much to @codeinebelle on tumblr, for your support and signing up for my tag list. Here's some Namjoon for you. <3

“You made a person, baby,” he said softly, looking back at you. “She's so small. So perfect.” He couldn’t look away for too long, and already you knew as he cradled her in big arms against a strong and solid chest, that another girl had him wrapped around her little finger. And you were perfectly okay with that.

You felt that you had run a marathon. You were exhausted, and every breath was made with effort. You could honestly say, in that moment, this was the worst pain you had felt, and you sobbed as you closed your eyes and felt your husband's hand brush sweaty hair from your eyes.

Your hearing was muffled as you recovered, and the pain ebbing away, and among the sounds of the doctor and nurses, you heard a small gasping breath and a cry that would not stop. You opened your eyes, everything came into sharp focus and you saw as a baby, your baby, was placed on your bare chest and covered in a blanket. You were stunned for a moment, but your arms wrapped around quickly, holding the child tight to your chest. You looked down at the whimpering child and then up to the brown eyes of your husband, smiling so wide, you were sure the dimples would never leave his face. Namjoon was speechless, as he crouched down to press his forehead to yours, and then placed a kiss on your temple. “You did so good, baby. She’s perfect.” He was gentle as he rubbed soft circles over your child's head, almost afraid that he would somehow break this too.

The nurses came in, helping clean up both you and your baby, and then the doctor came over carefully instructing Namjoon what to do as he cut the umbilical cord. Soon after, they wicked her away, to measure and wrap, and you still felt like you were soaring. Not yet feeling any of the pain or soreness that you knew was to come. Namjoon had squeezed hsi large body onto the bed next to you, credlign you, rubbing your shoulders, and helping to fix your hair that had fallen out of the ponytail. You just wanted it out of the way. When a nurse came back to the bedside, your baby was wrapped in a soft yellow blanket. A white cap on her head.

“Here you go, daddy,” she said with a smile. “Support her head,” the bundle was passed off into large hands, and Namjoon was so careful, and his eyes wide.

“Yeah! Just like that. You got her. You’re a natural.” You sat up a little, looking at him with a soft smile. You saw the sparkle of tears in his eyes.

Tuxedo

Pairing Min Yoongi x Female Reader

Rating 16+

WC 1718

Warnings Implied sex (or it could be a tickle fight... you don’t know.) Domestic AF Yoongi... he’s so in love. I can’t.

Crosspost AO3 - herecomessatvrn

Summary Yoongi is the first guy you've ever wanted to live with. While you are doing laundry, you find something that tells you this was definitely the right call.

AN For @sunshinerainbowsbts the world can suck sometimes, so you gotta find the soft things in your life, and enjoy them. <3

This fic was written in something like an hour because of this gif here. Yoongi in a cow onesie, and I couldn’t help myself. Very roughly edited, so Ill probs be making small updates to fix some minor issues.

Thank you @missgeniality for the gorgeous banner and divider set!

A Year of Sunshine

Pairing Jungkook + Reader

Rating 16+

WC 9563

Genre/Tropes Idol!au, dad!tan, angst, fluff, established relationship

Warning Minor character death, addoption, pregnancy, grief/mourning, there is some implied spiciness if you squint

Crosspost AO3 - @herecomessatvrn

Summary You had always talked about being parents, but you didn’t imagine it would happen like this.

AN Hello there! Thank you for checking this fic out! I wanted to get this out of the way first before you start reading.

There is what I would consider a minor character death in the beginning of this fic. Readers sister passes away, and while this is the event that is a catalyst for what follows in Readers life, I did my best to not let this death be the focus of the fic, and instead I tried to write something that was about healing and learning to live with that grief that might not go away.

I promise that there is a happy ending in store for Reader, so I hope you stay with me for this.

As an aside, or maybe extras. This story takes place in the same Idol!au as Lullaby and Lullaby: Mikrokosmos. In order to avoid confusion, Yoongi’s partner is named in this story.

Thank you to @sunshinerainbowsbts for being an endless source of dad!tan inspiration as well as a good friend and listener. And thank you to @reliablemitten and @sugafreeagustd for your help in making sure that this story didn't lose its focus.

My #1 post of 2022

Spark

Pairing JungkookxPregnant!reader

Rating PG

Genre/Tropes fluff, first time dad Jungkook established relationship

Warnings None it's all soft and sweet. JK is amazed at his wife.

WC 450

Crosspost AO3 - herecomessatvrn

Summary You and Jungkook unwind after a long day and you feel your baby move in your belly for the first time.

A/N Thank you @minttangerines for the prompt! I was immediately inspired to write this when I saw your ask. I wrote it on my phone, so it's probably very poorly edited and formatted. I'll fix it later. Fixed the formatting and did some minor edits. <3

I hope you enjoy!!

After the long day you had, coming home to a calm and quiet house was a soothing balm to your weary mind and body. Long gone were the typical queasy mornings that you knew to expect, only replaced by the intense fatigue as you worked to create and support the small spark of life within your belly.

Jungkook was ecstatic. The boyish wonder that lit up his handsome face when the news of your pregnancy was fresh made you grin, and had your heart soaring. Although there wasn't even a hint of a bump, he still liked to gently place his hands across your stomach, so sure that he could feel what your love had created.

In the quiet evening, after dinner, you two had settled into the sofa to watch a favorite movie. Your head in your husband's lap as he gently carded his fingers through your hair. You hummed and sighed happily. Eyes closed and just content to listen to the well known words and your husband's sweet gentle voice as he sang along with the music.

In that moment of peace, a strange sensation from your stomach caused your eyes to fly open. You cautiously and gently pressed your hand to your rounded stomach, wondering if perhaps dinner didn't agree with you.

And it happened again. That was most certainly not dinner. You rolled into your back carefully and looked up at your husband.

"Hey, bun..."

He hummed without looking down at you, and you pulled his hand down from your hair to your stomach.

"I think it's starting to move."

You stayed still, hoping that it would happen again with his hand still there.

"What?"

You most certainly had his attention now, the movie easily forgotten. You smiled fondly at him as his eyes grew wide, now eagerly waiting to feel something.

"I am like, 85 percent sure, that it- the baby, move."

You were so scared that talking, or even breathing would make it not happen again. But Jungkook shifted, and now both hands were splayed across your stomach, waiting. Until he gasped.

"I felt it!"

His voice was soft and filled with awe. Up until now, it didn't quite feel real. Though you had the images, that yes, there most certainly was a baby, you both felt it. You felt the hot sting of tears welling in your eyes, and before one had a chance to roll down your cheek, he brushed it away gently with his thumb.

"That's our baby."

"I love you so much. You're so amazing!" The rest of the night was spent with both of your hands resting gently together, and your baby's gentle reminders that they were there too.

I'd love to hear more about the one where Jaime’s quiet! <3

Ahhh <3! I had totally forgotten I’d written this until looking through WIPs for this meme! It’s actually one of the very first things I ever wrote for JB, when still feeling out their characterizations. I’d say this version of it is abandoned, but it’s entirely likely the themes will come back into play in something else down the line. The file title comes from thinking about how JB starting sleeping together may bring up certain things, and in this case how certain internalized patterns of quiet necessitated by being with Cersei might linger for Jaime, and how both Brienne and Jaime might feel/think about that. Which is a lofty description for something just over 1k long 😅 but that was the impetus!

If I were to write this one now I’d probably go about it differently, there are things I’d change, and it’s definitely not a complete draft, but here’s what I’ve got, in case anyone’s interested! Under a cut because of nsfw themes (though there isn’t anything super explicit)

(cw for implied past IPV and reference to past J/C)

As their breathing evened out and the sweat began to cool across her body, worry started to niggle at her. Wordlessly, Brienne slipped under the blanket, wanting to hide herself, and she felt rather than saw as Jaime hesitated before joining her. The worry became more insistent, even when Jaime rolled onto his side, wrapped an arm around her and urged her closer to him.

He had just been so... so quiet. Jaime spoke through everything. Or at least offered some form of commentary. It wasn’t entirely that, though: Brienne understood in a way she never had before when it had only been her own fingers between her legs, her own imaginings, how lost one could become in the sensations. So perhaps that rendered Jaime speechless, but he didn’t make any noise at all above shallow gasps and sighs.

If she hadn’t heard men in the camps she’d been in; through walls of shitty inns, she could assume that men just went quiet; because she went loud did not mean anyone else would. But she knew she was undignified in fighting, and found the impulse followed her to the bed with Jaime. He, too, was full of sound when they sparred: growls, grunts, laughter... He had come, the evidence was irrefutable, but Brienne did not know the intricacies of fucking. Perhaps coming did not indicate enjoyment. She had brought herself off more than once and felt creeping desolation in the wake. Perhaps for Jaime —

“You’re thinking too loudly for someone well-bedded,” Jaime said. Brienne flinched and rolled her head to look at him. His eyes were keen on her face. Gods but he was beautiful. There was still some colour to his cheeks, making the green of his eyes bright. His hair was in disarray, and Brienne was forcibly reminded of clutching handfuls as he worked between her thighs. She swallowed heavily and his brow quirked. He wore a smirk, but there was a furrowing across his forehead. “Have I not pleased you, Brienne?” His voice was a low growl that tumbled across her skin, down her spine, to land with a throb between her legs. Instinctively She pressed her thighs together; knew Jaime caught the movement when his eyes darkened.

He made to roll atop her, but with a whimper, Brienne laid her hand across Jaime’s chest to stop him. His face flashed uncertainty before smoothing into curiosity. Brienne took a deep breath, and said, “You’ve you’ve pleased me w-well, S— Jaime.” Jaime paused, and after a beat seemed to accept this, a smug smile curled his lips and he settled back beside her.

“Then what troubles you?”

Brienne looked away from him, to the ceiling and worried her lip with her teeth. She may not be experienced in fucking, but she was no craven. Taking a deep breath, she looked at Jaime again. He raised an eyebrow. “I worry,” she began, and Jaime’s face went blank, he said quickly, “We can stop. We — only what you want, Brienne. If you worry about your future, or — or a babe, we won’t —“

“Wait, Jaime,” Brienne said firmly but quietly. He closed his mouth, but his face was still carefully blank in a way which discomfited Brienne immensely. It reminder her, in some way, of the walls she put up around herself. To protect herself from sharp tongues, and it hurt that Jaime was responding to her the same. She continued, “I like what we do. I worry that I don’t,” she drew a deep breath, Jaime’s expression softened slightly. She reminded herself she was no coward. “Don’t please you.”

The blankness fell away entirely, morphing into disbelief. Jaime laughed, Brienne winced, and he said, “Given how often I proposition you, Brienne, I can’t think why you would worry about that. Why would you say such a thing?”

Feeling embarrassed, she burst, “You’re so quiet when we — when we — do this.” Jaime’s eyes went wide and his mouth opened soundlessly. “You’re almost never quiet, Jaime. You always have something to say and that you don’t, here, it... it worried me.” His face had gone shuttered as she continued, and when she finished he blew out a long breath and fell onto his back.

There was a long silence, which served to ramp up Brienne’s anxieties all over again. She was about to apologize when Jaime said, strained and to the ceiling, “I will be better next time.”

Brienne felt as though she had been punched in the gut. Better? “It isn’t — I shouldn’t have said... However you are is perfect, Jaime,” she whispered. She hated that her nerves had gotten the better of her; she feared things would not be the same. He made not acknowledgement, so She continued, “I assumed based on... our sparring and — everything else. If you, if you are more — quiet in this, I only want you to enjoy... what we do.”

The silence stretched again. Brienne wondered if she should apologize, or leave it, go to sleep. She was leaning towards sleep, to perhaps try again in the morning, when Jaime haltingly said, “I think it’s — habit.” Brienne stilled, her breath caught in her throat. All at once, she realized what he meant and was flooded with mortification for bringing their discussion anywhere near this place for him. He went on, “We had to be discreet. It is hard to be discreet if one is... loud.” Pulling in a shuddering breath, Brienne rolled to the side and propped herself up on her elbow. Jaime glanced at her, then resolutely back to the ceiling. Pity and grief churned her gut; anger, too, at the Gods for all the wounds Jaime carried. She didn’t know what to say, so hesitantly reached out, carded her fingers through his damp hair. Jaime’s eyes fluttered shut, his lips thinning. He went on, “There were times. At first. When I... But we couldn’t be, and so she would... It’s habit, I think, now.”

“That’s all right,” she whispered. “Whatever you like. Whatever you prefer. It’s all right — it’s good. As long as you’re...” Brienne sucked in a deep breath. “As long as you’re comfortable.”

WIP Excerpt

I’m sharing this because I’m uhhhhh excited? I’m not finished with it quite yet but it’s almost at 10k words so here’s the first, like 1k. I’m super looking forward to posting this piece eventually and hopefully I’ll be finishing it sooner rather than later

~*~*~*~

“Are you sure you’re gonna be okay, Ochako-chan? I can still call my parents and cancel if you need.”

Ochako knows she’s making a mistake. She can feel it deep within her gut. Yes, her instincts are screaming at her and telling her to grab Tsuyu’s hand. That she ought to do so while thanking her profusely for being such an amazing, dependable friend. But as she stares into those dark eyes, the selfishness dies away before it could possibly bring the words to her throat.

“No—thank you, really, but I—I got this!” Probably! Maybe. Hopefully... She doesn’t say the words aloud and tries her best not to imply them either. She even goes as far as to force her trademark grin, throwing her fists up in front of her to show off her determination on the matter. “Besides! You have a set of kiddos excited to see you already! You can’t let them down. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

It takes some additional urging, as well as Tsuyu making a point to remind her that she can always message her with any questions, but her best friend is waved off to leave for the train station. Her hand is still raised in farewell, even after Tsuyu has turned away. Once she’s gone finished going down the few steps of Heights Alliance, Ochako lowers it again, taking a deep breath before (once again) going over her mental checklist. With Tsuyu gone, that leaves her entirely alone on this.

But then, she had taken the time to insist she could handle it, hadn’t she?

Aizawa had approached the two of them, along with Deku and Kirishima, the day before to ask if any of them were going to be around the dorms for their day off. Due to his workload with the new first years, Aizawa has been running behind on paperwork at both of his jobs and wants to spend the day off getting it back under control. Which, apparently, is difficult when you also have a seven year old to take care of.

Their former homeroom teacher made a point of explaining that he was concerned about leaving the child overnight with anyone she didn’t know very well, with all things considered. “And she’s always seemed to be a bit more comfortable with everyone who participated in her extraction. I’d rather keep her within the school grounds otherwise Toogata would be more than willing to help.”

Ochako recalls being proud when she had answered first, affirming that she would be remaining behind for the day. But that pride had vanished when one by one the other three awkwardly (and sadly) admitted they already made plans to go back home. She must have looked like a fool, her face still stuck in a bright grin while she processed the prospect presented to her.

Uraraka Ochako is a lot of things, but she does not in any capacity know how to deal with kids—much less one who’s been through so much hardship in such a few short years of life.

She still remembers the overwhelming feeling of dread when Aizawa had looked at her and inquired if she would be willing to take on the task—it felt incredibly similar to the handful of times the Erasure Hero has used his Quirk on her, leaving her feeling completely and utterly defenseless under such a pressing gaze. How was she possibly supposed to refuse?

After giving her an approximation of when he would drop Eri off at Class 2-A’s dorm, the other three asked if they should stick around to help. But there’s no way Ochako could have let them stay, right? Of course not! They already have plans! They all might be a little more capable with kids than her, but she can still do it! That’s what she insisted to them over and over again.

Each of them would laugh if they could see her search history though, she’s certain. How to talk to kids. What do kids do for fun? What do seven year olds like to do? Yeah, that would definitely show how much she really has it handled..

But it’s not her fault! Ochako doesn’t exactly have any younger siblings to give her an idea—heck, even in her extended family, all the kids are either close in age or older than her so she has no frame of reference in the least. So as a result of that she’s always just felt sort of...awkward around kids.

But it’s usually fine if there are other people around! She usually defers to them and really only addresses the kid if they ask for attention or if she has something to say.

She can absolutely watch Eri alone though! Of that, she’s certain! Ochako even has a batch of activities in mind—thanks, in no small part, to those internet searches—along with various items Momo graciously agreed to create using her Quirk. Having stuff prepared doesn’t make her any less nervous for the moment that Aizawa and his essentially adopted daughter jar her from the pacing she’s been doing up and down the Heights Alliance steps since Tsuyu left.

“Eraserhead! Eri-chan!” Ochako’s waving at them as she returns to the bottom of the steps, and she wonders if that seems too eager. Well, too late to go back now.

“Uraraka.” Just one word makes it easy to tell that Aizawa is as sleep-deprived as ever. It probably doesn’t help that his hair is pulled up and out of his face so that it shows off even more the rings under his eyes. One of his hands is limply holding onto what is clearly a child’s overnight bag—somehow she wouldn’t have pegged Eri as someone who liked Hello Kitty. “Thank you again for agreeing to watch Eri through tomorrow.”

“Oh, it’s no problem! We’ll have lots of fun, won’t we, Eri-chan?” She claps her hands together as she looks down to the little girl hanging on to the Pro-Hero’s other hand. Those red eyes lock onto Ochako’s before they flit away just as quickly. The fingers of her open hand reach up for the strap of the bag on her person, and Eri’s mouth is still closed while she gives the most minute nod.

Haven’t even started yet and I’m failin’ at this. Great.

Starfarers: Chapter 1

Happy birthday @whereisthefood123! I am so excited to finally bring yall my Day 2 prompt for Fallfest. I’ve been in love with the idea of an Eden’s Zero crossover and here you have it. This was originally a oneshot, but I’ve expanded it into at least a three part fic. In honor of my co-mod’s birthday, have Part 1 of Starfarers! WTFood is a fantastic writer, friend, and really helped pull the event together. Happy birthday, darling. I hope you have a fantastic day and all the sweets your heart desires. I hope yall enjoy. Leave me a comment, reblog, tag, anything so I know what yall like. Be sure to check out my writing blog @luminescent-words for all fics, WIPs, and everything literary!

Pairing: Gajevy

Prompt: Adventure

Length: 1k

Levy McGarden has a thriving business and a comfortable life on Blue Garden. But that life was turned upside down the night she crashed into the Captain of the Iron Dragon. Space pirate: Gajeel Redfox. She saved his life that night, and they’ve only grown closer since. Now, he’s got a proposition: come with him and he’ll take her to find what she’s been searching for her entire life.

Chapter 1: Risk & Reward

Levy turned the note over again in her hands. Remnants of the daylight that had streamed through her window when she'd sat down cast shadows around her room. But she didn’t need the light to know what was written there; she'd read it countless times over the past three days. Fifty-seven words scribbled into parchment were now burned into her memory.

How about a little adventure, Shrimp? Meet me where I first swept you off your feet. Four days from now, just before first light peeks out over this planet. I’ve got something special I wanna show ya, if you’re not afraid to sail with pirates. I’ll bring the rum this time. You bring better running shoes. -CGR

Levy buried her face into her knees thinking about that night. Swept her off her feet—more like tossed her over his mechanical shoulder kicking and screaming. Still, she wouldn’t have changed anything about it, despite the rather unfortunate circumstances.

That had been six weeks ago. Six heart pounding, gut wrenching, butterflies running races through her stomach weeks of all-day texts and late night video calls. And Levy hadn’t been able to stop smiling since. Especially now that his studded face graced every other wanted poster on Blue Garden.

His strong, chiseled face with that cocky grin. But the posters never truly did him justice. There was a mischievous twinkle in his eye that you could only see in person, and Levy longed to experience that flash of dangerous excitement again. Some days it felt like it had all been a dream, but the universe had quite literally shoved her into his arms.

Being friends with a real pirate was nothing like the tales in her books. He was so much more complex than the characters she’d fallen for between pages. Brazen and terrifyingly powerful one moment, he’d slip into something gentle and sweet the next. Levy couldn’t care less about the sharp edges of his personality. Every beautiful rose had thorns. Nothing worth having came without risk.

Each day her heart would flutter at the telltale vibration of a new message on her communicator. There was hardly a morning she awoke without a text from one mysterious CGR. Her mind flicked back to the basement of Lily’s bakery and words she hadn’t been supposed to hear. Smitten after just one night, Captain. Levy bit down on the memory. Had it even been real or just something she’d pulled from the depths of her imagination?

Her face warmed. He’d left her trinkets, small gestures of thanks at the shop before, but this was different. This was much more serious than their usual playful exchange of wit; it was an invitation. One he’d managed to sneak onto her ship without tripping any alarms.

Levy’s gaze drifted to the window. The street lights were now lit, turning the darkness of the night into something eerily romantic. She smiled. It had been a night so similar to this—except for the rain—and the rum.

She’d taken a chance that night. To go out by herself. To save him. To turn the wildest string of coincidences into a friendship. But the thought of accepting his offer still set her heart racing. She wasn’t afraid of his crew. It almost felt like she knew them from the stories he loved to tell. No. This would lead her down a path she couldn’t control. And that was something Levy had promised herself she’d never do a long time ago. Still, she wasn’t sure if she was more scared to stay or to go.

Falling back against her pillow, Levy tossed and turned in her bed. A small voice in her heart told her that he cared—more than what was due someone who’d saved his life. If she got on that ship, there’d be no telling when she’d come back. Levy had opened up to him about the pieces of her life she’d lost along the way. Maybe this was his way of saying he—

A ringing bell in the distance shook her from her thoughts.

It was one in the morning already, and nothing had changed save for the light outside. Head and heart still fought to tear her apart. How much could she trust a man she’d met once but had been with every day in spirit? Was she brave enough to take that chance? A chance at happiness, a chance at heartbreak, a chance at romance—maybe. Heavy lids pulled her down into slumber. She’d have her answers tomorrow.

It had been the rain that had convinced her, tapping on her window and stirring Levy from a restless sleep. He was a risk worth taking. With a steaming cup of coffee in hand, she found herself just a few streets away from her favorite barcade in the heart of town. Water splashed against her feet as Levy tried and failed to avoid a puddle. She smiled. These were definitely better shoes, and she was grateful to have an umbrella this time.

Levy stopped cold as the bright neon letters of Domus Flau came into view. The establishment still hummed with life, even in the dusty hours just before dawn, when everyone—including her—should be asleep. But the bubbling excitement in her chest was too much to ignore. Levy had no idea what might happen next, but she’d made her choice. There was no turning back.

Light filtered through the clouds, warming her spine. Levy tossed her head back and breathed a sigh of relief. She’d made it on time. Resting a hand on the bench that faced the barcade, she bit back on her nerves and took another sip of coffee.

“Time for a leap of faith, Lev,” she murmured, pulse drumming in her ears. “You’re brave enough to—”

“Hey there, shortstuff.”

Levy’s breath caught in her chest. His voice was deeper in person, laced with adventure in a way that could never be conveyed across a communicator. It made goosebumps race across her neck. Her grip faltered, and the cup tumbled to the floor, straight into the metallic hand of the man she’d been waiting for.

“Glad ya got my note.”

If I say it every week, it’s still true every week: I am very much in utter love with STAR WARS fandom, it’s still filled with such talented and kind authors, there are still so many wonderful stories to read, and there are still some absolutely stellar stories being told here! There is so much to love in the movies and shows, but there’s always something special about a fandom who also really works with that and creates something magical–and that is exactly what SW fandom does every week!

✦ Coda by lilyconrad, obi-wan/anakin & padme/sabe & cast, nsfw, modern au, ballet au, 65.3k Anakin is an up-and-coming first soloist for the New York City Ballet Company, a brash, confident dancer with a smoldering sensuality to his technique and an electric smile that makes fangirl toes curl and quite possibly his choreographer’s. Chapter 14: This is a rec that will be balanced between the current chapter and the fic as a whole, as it’s the final chapter! There will be some mild spoilers, but nothing you couldn’t figure out on your own, imo. So often when I read a modern AU, it can be difficult to capture the sense of engagement and charisma, the addicting drama necessary to keep me interested while still not feeling too forced, that instead it has a natural flow to the plot and the pacing. But this fic does that beautifully–where it ends up is exactly where it felt like it was going since the very first chapter, that the author had a plan and maybe it expanded or swerved a few times, but that the base foundation of the story was always headed exactly right here. And that made the experience of reading this fic all the more satisfying, so that when terrible things happened, I could enjoy the emotional impact of them, but I had absolute trust that I knew what I was getting when I walked into this story–and that never makes it boring, it’s the journey there just as much as it is the destination. And that means an AU where Obi-Wan and Anakin are in a modern setting, but the spirit of them is mapped onto this universe so well, that Anakin’s issues are that he falls in love so fast and sohard, that he explodes when he doesn’t know what to do, that he gives everything of himself. That Obi-Wan is reserved, but still waters that run deep, that he loves so genuinely and struggles to do what’s best for Anakin, precisely because he cares for him so much. But it’s also the setting of the piece, which is the world of ballet dancers and choreographers, that is so lovely and there’s such a satisfying dance in the final chapter, that it’s all happy emotion and passion, that these two people have spent almost a novel’s worth of time working through their relationship’s ups and downs, to end on this note that’s perfect for them. That the resolution of it is exactly in the spirit of the original canon, their choices are ones that I felt their characters would make, ported over to this modern version of themselves. It’s not that the fic is without angst, because there is, even in the final chapter, a lot of difficult situations to work through, but ones that are natural to the characters, ones they would struggle with, that these choices and complications they’re faced with are ones they would have to navigate with some trouble, rather than feeling like they were just thrown in for the sake of drama. I believe that Ben would struggle with leaving without Anakin, because he felt it would ruin what Anakin had. I believe that Anakin would give up everything he worked so hard for, for love. I believe that they would struggle to not be together, to balance their careers versus their private relationship. But it’s never too much, it never had me rolling my eyes and telling them to get over themselves, because either it was reasonable or else it was entirely in character and I love them for being themselves. It’s a softer fic, it’s a modern AU fic, but there’s a kind of magic this story had, one that was so easy to get swept up in, to become invested in, right along with the characters. It’s sweet and almost domestic, but it was charming as hell, genuinely so, and there was such obvious love and affection and sharpness written into these characters, it’s such a great pull between these two characters that they couldn’t stay away from each other, that you can feel the sheer amount of affection the author has for them and their relationship. And it was an entirely satisfying experience to read this fic, to read this final chapter, where everything works out exactly as it was always going to work out, the most fitting ending I could ask for! ✦ The Apprenticeship by Nny11, ahsoka & yoda & anakin & cast, 31.4k wip The doors only open when a Master opens them for their Padawan, a subtle reminder to them that a student needs a teacher’s guidance and that teachers must let them go. The force thinks it’s rather funny when it alters history by forcing Master Yoda to take on a very young Ahsoka Tano as his Padawan. I do have the caveat ahead of time that this fic is more about summarizing events than showing direct action or dialogue (though, it’s very much interspersed with these things!) and that it’s not always clear about the timeline and that Ahsoka is far, far younger than canon here, which did distract me a few times, but I mention them because setting myself in the right frame of mind got me such a lovely fic here. It’s got all this really interesting and engaging bits of worldbuilding woven into pretty much everything here, every scene has details to fill out the world, every scene has character moments for Ahsoka or the Jedi or Yoda, how she struggles with her life there, but also she loves it, that there’s so much good there, that she’s a Togruta and has certain instincts that she uses in an absolutely adorable and perfect way with the other Jedi younglings, that her relationship with Yoda isn’t always perfect but there’s such deep care there and they clearly mean the galaxy to each other, that her friendship with Anakin is important as well, sometimes rocky and he doesn’t always understand the life she’s chosen, he’s volatile at times, but you can see why she cares deeply about him. I think where the fic really won me over, as much as I appreciate the deeper stuff about Jedi workings, were the smaller moments, like when Ahsoka tussled with a Wookiee in the Temple and briefly got hurt and there was just so much care and helping them both to refocus their energies and it all worked out that I knew I was in love. But I also appreciated that her argument with Anakin showed that he didn’t really ever understand what people got out of being a Jedi, that I could see he meant well and I loved him very much, but Ahsoka’s frustration and hurt at the way he yelled was spot on. Or the way her horns itched and she went to ask Shaak Ti for help. Or the way Ahsoka struggled with the more boring parts of her duty or what she wanted to do with her life and what the Force was telling her, versus her vows and her duty. And that Yoda obviously cared very much about her and was listening to her! The structure is more tell (instead of show) than I usually read, but the sheer amount of thought and detail and care and clever little bits of worldbuilding the story was absolutely packed with and the spot-on characterization of Ahsoka and Yoda especially, but also Obi-Wan in the background, made this one of those fics that I eagerly read my entire way through in like a day and a half because it was just so incredibly solid in everything it was working to achieve! It’s such a great and engaging and sparkling read! ✦ Cataclasm by dendral, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & waxer & cast, 35.3k wip For reasons unknown to all but himself, Obi-Wan Kenobi has left the Jedi Order in the midst of the Clone Wars, taking with him a single clone. Chapter 8: This is an update rec and will focus on this chapter, rather than the fic as a whole. This chapter was a really fantastic read for Anakin’s character and the position he’s starting to understand that he’s in and that the people around him are in, that it’s a really lovely look at the anger issues he has and how much he’s trying to be better, that Obi-Wan’s having left forces a shift and a scramble that has things happening that might not have otherwise–including a really stellar conversation between Mace and Anakin that’s so good at the delicate line it needs to walk, to not be preachy but instead feel like these characters would have this discussion, to not throw anyone to the wolves narratively, but instead be entirely good-spirited about bringing people together. Like, that makes this fic so much more enjoyable and so much stronger as a story! But also it’s just really, really solidly good and, oh, Mace’s quiet explanation, the sheer exhaustion and tension that I felt running through that scene, was gorgeously done. It’s so spot on about the pressures and difficulties they all face that I just wanted to roll over and clutch my reader to my chest for awhile after reading it. But the other half of this chapter that was so goddamned satisfying was Bant being unable to keep up with everything Obi-Wan had done and how that plays out with Anakin and the other Jedi and the fic doing this really deft, delicate dance to show the horrible position the war had put them all in, the sheer amount of amazing that is Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the sadness and anger from Anakin when he realizes just how much he never really realized. How much he’s been protected from, how much Obi-Wan didn’t want to speak of, how much there is that Anakin just never knew. And how much visions can really fucking suck in both some really neat world-building and theorizing about the Jedi and their connection to the Force and how they deal with it, but also tying it into the greater plot. It’s also another chapter that does a fantastic job of how Obi-Wan and Anakin aren’t in the same scene at the same time, but that connection is so important, Anakin’s deep well of feelings about Obi-Wan, the anger and hurt this has stirred up, do my fannish heart good because of just what that says about how they care about each other. The way Anakin tries to understand what he’s doing, why he did it, and his sheer bullheaded determination to bring Obi-Wan back because he wants him back, like, oh, Anakin, but also I’m eating this up like you wouldn’t believe. It has such thought going into it and such a delicate touch with bringing so many things to light (like Obi-Wan being overworked and how that may change how Anakin sees things later, may change his view of certain people, how he’s seeing so much more of the Jedi’s exhaustion when they’re forced into this position with him, how his own anger issues are coming up to the surface and being looked at, rather than Anakin shoving them down, him learning that everyone is complicated, not just his own feelings! in a way that makes me love Anakin SO MUCH!) and all of this is wrapped up in so much good world-building and care for the characters and the galaxy and really lovely, fantastic writing. I love everyone in this bar, okay. ✦ untitled by fireflyfish, obi-wan/anakin/padme & luke & leia, 3k Padme Amidala, Senator from the Chommel Sector, former Queen of Naboo and wife of retired Jedi General and Knight Anakin Skywalker looked up from where her son Luke was making snow angels to see her daughter, Leia, levitate a three foot in diameter ball of snow over her head. THIS IS PURE JOY. It’s a happy universe where Anakin and Padme are getting into a snowball fight with their children and the three of them gang up on Padme, who is having the most warm-hearted, wonderful time and prepares to make her final stand, when some help arrives and of course Obi-Wan turns the tide and there are shifting alliances and everything absolutely sparkles and is adorable. It’s one of those fics that could have so easily gone into sappy territory, but it keeps a certain sharpness and charisma, there’s something that’s just the right amount of fluff combined with how I could see this as the happy version of these characters. I read it for the soul-soothing quality of it, but came away having enjoyed that it was really good and genuinely funny and sharp in amongst the softness! It’s a wonderful look at all these characters and THIS IS WHAT WE ALL DESERVED, this was so, so good. ✦ everything will glow for you by waterandsilver, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 2.4k Sometimes when Anakin kisses, Obi-Wan has half a mind to remind him that he’s not in battle anymore. Oh, this was a really lovely, really satisfying fic! It’s a fic about the attraction between these two, the way they can’t help but be drawn to each other, the way Obi-Wan watches Anakin, the way he admires him and the way he interacts with Anakin, the way Anakin is an amazing brat, the way he teases and needles, wanting a reaction, until Obi-Wan gives him one, his desire to put Anakin back in his place, in a loving but firm way, to fuck him into a compliant mess. And of course Anakin responds to that, something in him thrives on that, the way Obi-Wan pushes him back, teases him with his liips and tongue before opening Anakin up with his fingers and being patient enough to make Anakin whine and plead for it. There’s some light banter, some light d/s that they both really find satisfying, Obi-Wan enjoys taking Anakin apart this way, Anakin enjoys the attention and quiet that comes afterwards, and, oh, Obi-Wan teasing him with his fingers inside Anakin, making him say it, offering him the chance to back away, but Anakin is greedy for more of his Master, wants Obi-Wan to fuck him, is full of joy and so many other good things when Obi-Wan is finally in him, and it’s just this really fun piece, where they banter and enjoy this, where it’s lovely and satisfying sex, where it was a great read just when I needed it. ✦ One of These Days by rogueleader, obi-wan/anakin & rex & cody & cast, 11.4k wip In the middle of the Battle of Christophsis, Anakin and Obi-Wan’s forces are overwhelmed by the Separatists’ droid army, and their rescue ship is shot down. After crashing in the Christophsian wilderness, the Jedi must get themselves and their troops back to the city before the Separatists can catch up to them. There are only three chapters of this fic at the time of this rec, so not much has really gotten underway yet, but it’s paced well for what will hopefully be a fairly long story and it’s a fic where it’s not about Stuff Happening (at least not yet!) but that instead what I got out of it was some fun Anakin whump and some really delightful banter! Their ship crashes on Christophsis, they’re stranded about ten days away from the nearest city, and there’s a very long hike and a whole lot of fairly unknown terrain ahead of them. There’s a really nice sharpness to the writing and the characters here, it’s smooth and sails along really well, the dialogue is funny or intriguing, the way Obi-Wan and Anakin work together feels true to their dynamic, and I’m really enjoying the descriptions of the landscape, the use of their supplies, etc. It feels like a fleshed out fic, like an especially UST-laden professional novel that I could be reading! But also it has some genuinely funny moments, when they wake up on their first morning after the crash, there’s a scene with Anakin being Anakin that had me unable to stop smiling and softly giggling because it was just so charmingly funny and I’m enjoying whatever’s going on with Anakin and the way Obi-Wan is concerned about him, but also trying to respect his wishes, that there’s such weight to both characters here, they both have a strong presence, and I’m very much looking forward to the next chapter. ✦ Somewhere In Time by DonkerRood, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, time travel, 25k wip Anakin crashes on Tatooine and to his surprise finds Obi-Wan there. He learns he has travelled in time and ended up in a terrible future. I picked up this fic recently and promptly got sucked into it and read it in such a flurry that now I’m not even sure where to start with this rec! It’s one of those fics that’s set against the backdrop of a bigger plot, but is ultimately a more intimate drama sort of piece, that the focus is on the feelings between these characters, as Anakin winds up on Tatooine, meeting Obi-Wan who is just a few months post-ROTS, and Anakin working to accept what’s happened, his feelings for Obi-Wan, and how to get back/fix all of this. It’s a story that uses all these fun elements as a catalyst to bring these two together and work on their relationship, to give them the space they both need to touch those feelings and let them come forward, for Anakin to accept what he’s capable of (knowing Darth Vader exists and is out there and what he did), for them both to work on understanding why this happened, since neither of them are sure. There are some lovely moments of Anakin/Padme as well (though, this is defintely more of an Obikin fic so far), it’s 25k of just pure feelings exploration of Obi-Wan getting Anakin back, even though he can’t keep him, of both of them finding a hope that they never thought possible again. And, like, I’m always going to be here for that kind of thing, I’m going to be here for Anakin tripping over himself and Obi-Wan having to be the adult, Obi-Wan really seeing the cracked foundations of Anakin and realizing he needs more help than Obi-Wan thought, I’m always here for the characters getting the room to process this, when they had none of that in the canon, that they were all too crowded out by the war and Palpatine’s manipulations. I’m always going to be here for fic that takes about 20k of talking and arguing and taking an uneven, bumpy path towards fixing things, I’m always going to be here for the absolute embracing of just reveling in all these feelings, that it takes this amount of time to make sure that Obi-Wan’s not hurting Anakin with any of this, because he would never, not if he had a choice about it. This is a fic for when you want some fun time travel setting that’s really about a cathartic working through of issues, that there’s a charm to the story that pulled me in, and hooked me, the kind of emotional drama that I just absolutely eat up! Plus, chapter 10 had some lovely sex, that they couldn’t do more than mutual blowjobs (which were very nice!) because there was no lube, but, oh, Obi-Wan wanted to just wrap Anakin’s legs around him and lift him up and fuck into him, but he’s still the Adult In The Room, even as Anakin pleads and whines for more, just so out of his mind with want that he doesn’t care, not really realizing what it would do to him. And I’m always here for that, too, I’m always here for Anakin being reduced to a total mess because he can just let everything go and out that way, he gets the attention he so desires and Obi-Wan gets to look after him, as he desires as well. To have Anakin filled up with something better than his usual storm of emotions is what I’m here for and they were so close, though, the blowjobs were lovely and so was Anakin cuddling up against Obi-Wan, who wrapped his arms around this person he loves so much, which I’m always going to be a sucker for. Give me emotional catharcis, Obi-Wan fucking the noise out of Anakin’s head, and cuddling, that’s everything I’m here for. ✦ hey there by retts, obi-wan/anakin, 4.6k 'Sick,’ says Anakin, stood in the doorway of Obi-Wan’s room aboard their ship. 'You’re sick.’ I’m a sucker for sick fic, too! And this one had some really fun, sharp banter between the characters, that Obi-Wan is a good balance of recognizing that he’s sick but still pushing through it, while Anakin hovers over him and tries to mother hen him, all wrapped up in their usual back-and-forth dynamic. I love how much deep care there was here from both characters, that there was such attraction and want from both of them, even as it was reasonable that they never quite acted on it here. It was a good balance of sweet (which is what I read sick fic for in the first place!) with something heavier, more weighty, that can’t be resolved here, but is gently touched on, so you know it’s there. But, really, it’s fun banter that’s sharp, hilarious, and shows how much these two care about each other, how it comes from both of them, that even when sick, Obi-Wan is still sharp and has a comment, that even when worried and kind of emotionally messy, Anakin definitely learned that from his Master. It was just really, really enjoyable to read! ✦ Put That Thing Back Where It Came From by FireflyFish, obi-wan/anakin & cast, 1.6k wip Anakin picked up something he really shouldn’t have and now he and Obi-Wan are on “medical leave”. I’ve read this first chapter over more than once and I laugh like wild every time, it’s so beautifully hilarious and has such a great sense of comedic timing and pulls off the crack-treated-semi-seriously element of it. I wanted “cursed to physically touch, only way to get out of it is ~resolution” fic for ages and now Fishy has granted us that! And it’s SO FUNNY, the kind of giggling where my face hurt afterwards! Every scene is beautifully done, from getting the news about how to break the curse to the other Jedi maybe kind of finding this hilarious to Obi-Wan and Anakin not entirely sure how to deal with each other and having to hold hands the entire time and every time, EVERY TIME the scene gets to Anakin’s friend being a little shit, to Obi-Wan’s genuinely scary threat, to Anakin’s irritated as hell reaction, I lose it all over again. It’s a really great use of little bits of world-building and just really, really funny lines and a great use of the premise, I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH. ✦ Sun Kissed by Vee017, obi-wan/anakin & cast, nsfw, past sexual assault issues, 84.8k wip Being on a world that supports slavery is one thing. Buying a slave and bringing him into Republic space is entirely another. Chapter 29: This is an update rec and will focus on this chapter, rather than the fic as a whole. It’s been awhile since this fic updated, but I had no trouble slipping right back into it and picking it up again! And I think what I liked best about this chapter, after everything that’s happened and the characters are having chances to react, is that Anakin’s reaction to Mace’s apology can be both justified and fairly unkind at the same time, that it was a messy and difficult situation they were in, so the aftermath is messy and difficult as well, that I came away feeling for both characters here. Which always makes a story stronger, when no character is perfect, but you can genuinely understand where both sides are coming from, that neither of them is just a strawman! (And I could read that the Jedi were going to work harder to petition the Senate, who were the ones that could actually say what they could or couldn’t do about bad things in the galaxy, since the Jedi didn’t have that legal authority themselves!) But also the chapter left me with such excitment, that there’s new stuff afoot and likely soon to be an Obi-Wan/Anakin reunion and possibly some stuff with Shmi and now the worst should be mostly over (assuming there’s not new terrible things) and there really is a warmth to this fic that I greatly enjoy and I was so delighted to see more of this one. ✦ untitled by darthcuddles, obi-wan/anakin, modern au, ~1k There is something intoxicating about this place, and it’s not the whiskey or the music or the lights. It’s him. Oh, man, this one was kind of designed to appeal to my id, I think, where it’s a sex club AU, with Anakin as this discerning, picky dancer there who, of course, takes a liking to Obi-Wan as a client. It’s short, but super fun and has some very lovely imagery (with that brief description of the lace Anakin wears and the lap dance he gives Obi-Wan) and was just a really, really pleasing read for me! ✦ The Creche Master by avarand, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, 14.8k Anakin is found at fourteen and trains at the Temple for a non-Jedi role. Surprising no one, he decides to be Creche Master. And there’s a certain Knight who hangs around but that can’t happen. Can it? This is such a cute, sweet, happy fic! It moves Anakin up about seven years and makes him fairly entirely emotionally stable, so it’s this soft, warm, fuzzy blanket that changes a lot things to make it one of those that was just fun to read. It’s not quite compatible with canon Jedi but it’s mostly good-spirited about everything that I found myself rolling with it pretty easily and the heart of what I was here for, the sheer affection there is in this fic, between the characters and for the pairing, was absolutely wonderful. When fic is kind, it just puts this absolute utter warm glow in me like I can’t even describe! This is one of those you pick up when you want something happy to read, when you want a bit of mutual pining and an Anakin who enjoys taking care of kids and a mildly slow burn Obi-Wan/Anakin pairing where they both work through what they want from life and it’s done with such cheer and softness and kindness to just about everyone (except Sheev, fuck that guy) and joyful embracing of all the fun tropes of such a thing that it just put a smile on my face. It’s also got a lovely bit of sex at the end, a nice capping of resolution to the fic that was just the right length and was just the right amount of satisfying. The pacing was just right, I picked this up and rolled right along with it, the whole way through, I had no trouble reading it one sitting because it sailed along and was just everything I hoped for! ✦ The Nature of Fire by Phosphorescent, anakin/padme & cast, 6.2k wip “One Jedi, then,” Padmé offered to the others. At least let me speak the truth to my love. At least. Please, she pleaded with them silently. “There is one Jedi—one whom I truly know all of us can trust absolutely …” Her voice trailed off into appalled silence when she realized that she wasn’t talking about Anakin. Chapter 2: This is an update rec and will focus on this chapter, rather than the fic as a whole! This continues to be a really fascinating, engaging, and well written fic for a Padme who takes a hard look at this relationship with her husband that’s so full of love, but also so full of some very worrisome things. That this entirely about Padme’s role in the story, her thoughts and feelings as everything seems to be crumbling around her, and the sheer amount of herself she’s pouring into trying to make better. Her conversation with Palpatine is simple on the surface of things, but how it feels so exhausting and infuriating is spot on, how her relationship with Anakin feels so tense and upsetting precisely because she cares about him but he’s become so angry and so unwilling to listen, how she’s struggling in this Herculean-feeling task at trying to save the things she cares about. She tries to be gentle in nudging Anakin to see what she’s talking about, the delicate line she has to walk with the other Senators and their distrust of the Jedi, how she has to be careful around Anakin who throws so much support to Palpatine blindly, how there’s something that burns in Padme, a fire that is stoked here, rather than smothered, and it’s so fascinating to read, it’s such a lovely fic for her character! ✦ Lightly, Lightly by DraloreShimare, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka, ~1k Anakin may not be a Padawan anymore, but he could still use a lesson or two. This was a short but utterly delightful piece of the grand tradition of an apprentice roasting their Master whenever they get the chance and that Ahsoka is no different, which eggs Anakin on into taunting Obi-Wan and biting off more than he can chew. What I love about it is that Ahsoka is pure joy, that Obi-Wan is the guy you never want to mess with, and that Anakin is entirely beloved, that just because he’s a bit of a disaster, that doesn’t mean he’s any less talented, that there’s clear love for each and every character here individually to my mind, as there is for the dynamic as a whole. Plus it’s just really cute and I absolutely needed more cute!

do you have any fic recs?

EBuckle up. This is only took me three weeks to formulate an answer for okay because I read SO MANY FICS (like not kidding sometimes upwards of ten or twelve a day) and this ask is MAKING ME PICK????

I’ll put them in neat little ship categories too, so I don’t look like a completely uncultured reader.

**** = My faves.

I’ll designate my fics too, because why not shamelessly promote myself while I’m here.

Victor/Yuuri (Victuuri):

Take My Hand, Take My Whole Life Too [T, 1.6k] by shingeki_no_llama | Victor Nikiforov thinks he knows just who has their thoughts scrawled so carelessly on the back of his hand. He can only pray he is right.———Soulmate AU where the thoughts of your soulmate inscribe themselves on your skin in a temporary ever-changing tattoo

Viktor!!! on Ice {E. 2.3k} by timelordofrassilon | Yuuri sent a prayer of thanks to the gods for whoever invented ice cubes. He stood in the onsen, body hot and steaming from the water at his waist, while Viktor’s cold tongue slid up the curve of his neck.————————–Fluffy, in-character onsen sex that is also 100% raunchy ice skater porn. They confess their fantasies. There are ice cubes. Yuuri talks about his body pillow.

****Unwritten {T, 34k} by kaizuka | Soulmates AU where whatever you write on your own skin appears on your soulmate, but when there is a language barrier, meeting becomes just a little more difficult than it should be.

hold me hard and mellow {M, 3k} by YuuriVityaNyan (NarryEm) |Training with Viktor is … hard. In more ways than one.It doesn’t take long for Yuuri to realise that if Viktor is going to coach him, there are few things that he has to work out first. One of which is his not so little crush on the Russian skater. And, of course, he has to figure out how the heck he is going to skate to ‘eros’ for the skate-off.

****************Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches {E, 197k} by Reiya | ‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’A single event changes the course of Yuuri’s life, throwing him into a bitter rivalry with Viktor Nikiforov that spans across his entire skating career. But as the years go on, rivalry and hatred begin to develop into something very different and Yuuri doesn’t seem to be able to stay away, no matter how hard he tries.Hatred and love are two sides of the same coin and even though everything changes, some things are still meant to be.

all the world’s a stage {E, 112k} by braveten | Everyone has a guilty pleasure.For Yuuri, it just happens to be romance movies starring famous heartthrob Victor Nikiforov.(And, honestly, on the spectrum of guilty pleasures, he figures that his is on the far, far more innocent side.)

****Even if I Tried {T, 6k} by deathbycoldopen | He took his place next to Viktor in the kiss and cry, floating like ash over the wreckage of the fire. He took the water bottle Viktor offered with a murmured thank you, and stared out at the ice. Distantly, he couldn’t quite believe that the surface was still frozen.“Did it really feel that good?”His eyes flickered over to Viktor, then back to the ice. There was a different kind of heat invading his cheeks now, all too familiar and unwelcome. “Um,” he said quietly. “Mostly I just wanted people to feel good watching it.”Lie. He’d only thought of one person. The man who’d regularly had underwear thrown onto the ice along with the flowers, the man who’d had four scandalous and highly publicized affairs with models and other skaters before the age of twenty, the man that Yuuri couldn’t hope to keep but desperately wanted to.

My Victuuri Fics:

Like The Ache Of Life {T, 1k} | Victor lives a life of aching limbs, high spins, and blades against ice.He’s trapped.——–Or that one fic that’s not as angsty as the description makes it sound, and where two boys fall in love.

Otabek/Yuri (Otayuri):

Sonata in A Major {T, 8k} by Lumieres | Yuri is like a meteorite, caught in his atmosphere. If he doesn’t take care of him, he’ll completely burn up, and there won’t be anything left for him to salvage.(Or: Three times, Yuri and Otabek kiss, only to never speak about it again.)

****Teach Me Just What Fast Is {E, 3k} by Zee | “You don’t like it when other people tell you what to do,” Otabek said, “but you accept it from me. Why is that?”Yuri likes it when Otabek bosses him around, and Otabek calls him on it.

How Long You Walked For (til you got lost tonight) {T, 3k} by LiviKate | “Stop apologizing,” Yuri snapped at him. “You told me you loved me, and now you’re just thanking me and apologizing. It’s weird.”Or, in which Otabek falls in love and doesn’t notice when Yuri does, too.

*****fingers crossed my obsession with you is tameable {E, 5k} by seaworn | “I think I didn’t quite grasp it. Show me again?” Yuri asked breathlessly.Otabek bit his lower lip, eyes lighting up in joy.“Alright.”**Yuri and Otabek meet on New Year’s Eve.

********** From Almaty, With Love {E, 71k} by BoxWineConfessions ( @boxwineconfession ) | It’s quiet here. Even if the car alarm on the neighbor’s goddamn BMW has been going off for the past twenty minutes. Quiet, even though the alarm’s got the neighbor’s dog howling like crazy, and the neighbor works second shift and isn’t there to comfort the dumb dog.It’s quiet…They haven’t spoken to each other since that morning, when Yuri went off to go see his tutor, and Otabek went off to do whatever the hell it was he did in the mornings before he hit the rink.“You’re used to the noise?”“Yeah, but…I think I like the quiet too.”Or: Yuri spends the summer with Otabek in Almaty. (this one is my fave I WOULD DIE FOR IT and im not at all biased. Just check out the author’s profile and read all the fics there okay? Okay.)

****Endurance and Peach Tea {G, 11k} by chapstickaddict | Yuri hummed. His body didn’t uncurl, but instead of pressing his face into the fold of his legs, he rested it on his crossed forearms. Tilting his face towards Otabek, he looked for the bronze metal. The colorful ribbon snuck into the folds of his jacket, hiding his prize from view. Yuri reached out, and Otabek let him pull the ribbon to bring the metal into the light.It was beautiful. Heavy and ornate, with the front masterfully detailed. The perfect symbol of success. Yuri flipped it over, admiring Otabek’s name carved along the back.Wait.“Did they spell your name wrong?” he demanded, straightening. Otabek made a noise beside him.

****Yours, Mine, Ours {T, 5k} by aphhun | Otabek blinked himself back into the conversation and turned towards Viktor. Without thinking, against what he tried his hardest to keep from happening, he inquired-“Your Yuuri’s, or my Yuri’s?”-In which Otabek has always been careful not to use Viktor’s “My Yuuri/Your Yuri” reference system but indulges in the habit on Live television, and Yuri has a damn heart attack.

Permanently {T, 14k} by HugsandButterflyKisses | What’s with you assholeOtabek sat stunned before looking at it again. That couldn’t be right. His soulmate wasn’t going to say that the first time they met.Otabek looked once again.What’s with you asshole was neatly printed on his left thigh.orThe soulmate au where the first words your soulmate says to you are tattooed on your skin. Otabek can’t wait to get his but the mark is not what he expected. Neither is his soulmate.

************Shutter-Release {M, 7k} by kaijoskopycat | Otabek Altin has been a fashion photographer for longer than he cares to think about and he’s never been as moved by a model as he is when he meets Yuri Plisetsky, one of the most unconventional personalities for a top model out there. (all i can say is HOT DAMN)

My Otayuri Fics:

Raincheck {T, 1k} | “You’ll be better before I leave.” Otabek hums; tracing the patterns of his upcoming routine on Yuri’s thighs.Yuri meets his eyes. “And if I’m not?”“Then I’ll just take a raincheck.”——–Or that fic where Yuri is sick and Otabek is simply the best.

A Journey To Love {Not Yet Rated, WIP, Currently 6k+, 2/10 chapters} | For Otabek and Yuri, love is a journey.—Or, ninety-nine scenes of them falling in love and one where they finally say it. (WIP)

An Errant Spark {E, WIP, 14k+ Currently} | The future, convoluted and ever-changing as it is, doesn’t come to Yuri easily. ——- Or that Hero/Fair AU will all kinds of other things thrown in. (WIP)

With Us Went The Sun {T, 1.5k} | It’s one forty-five in the morning and the sky is bright. Not with stars or the lights of buildings rising through the night, but bright like day. Lit with shades of pale yellow like some old forgotten painting; phosphorescent as it burns, and blinding.Otabek forces his stinging eyes away, and looks to Yuri. (Warning: ANGST)

Someday, In This Morning Light {G, .6k} | This life is filled with simple beauty, and Otabek relishes silent moments such as this one, where he can do no more than observe and collect memories. (Drabble)

Hear Me Roar {Explicit, 13k+} | Yuri can’t remember when it started; has no idea when the first instance of Otabek’s control over him was displayed. But somewhere over their three years of friendship, Yuri realized that not only does he listen to Otabek, he enjoys it. (A Six Part Series)

Phichit/Seung-Gil (SeungChuChu):

Bite Me {T, 3k} by EttaMills | Phichit Chulanont looks so innocent. Who knew, underneath, was a sharp-tooth predator who is very protective of his friends?

Notes on the recs below:

fake making-out

like real people do by mollivanders ( @ladytharen) 3.4K Cassian and Jyn infiltrate an Imperial ball in fancy clothes but get caught snooping around. WHAT TO DO.

It's a Classic for a Reason by mosylu ( @mosylufanfic). 0.4K, oneshot What should Cassian do when Jyn shoves him up against a wall in Jedha City and kisses him? Kiss her back, of course. (And use whatever brain cells haven't exploded to figure out why.)

Faking It by mosylu ( @mosylufanfic) 2.8k, oneshot The threat of an undercover mission being compromised leads to some creative thinking on Jyn’s part. In which they simulate sex and get really hot an bothered with it, and so does every reader because its the hottest thing I’ve ever read.

sharing a bed

The Second Mission: Cold and Codependent by angel_deux. 26K words, complete. What can I say about this fic, and this series? This story is amazing. This story is heartwrenching. This story fits a number of these tropes and I scream every time. I would pay $20 to let this series punch me in the gut like it does over and over. Only click if you want ALL THE FEELINGS that lead to sharing a bed and beyond.

semantics (series) by katsumi ( @leralynne). 4 oneshots. I'm also not sure what to say about this story except that if you haven't read it and like platonic-but-oh-no-feelings story, RUN, DON'T WALK. Cassian and Jyn share a bed, while literally everyone else on base hears rumours from snarky K-2SO and reaches the obvious conclusion before Cassian and Jyn do. Because they're self-denying fools, obviously.

the quiet we hold by ithacas ( @dazy-laze). 12K, oneshot I actually feel ashamed putting this under the 'sharing a bed' series because it's just. More. It's about trying to find peace after Scarif. It's about survivor's guilt. It's about picking yourself up again, and it happens to include sharing a bed. It's most thoughtful, grounded of the Cassian/Jyn fics I've read so far, and I whole-heartedly recommend.

Cold, Cold Nights by Felurian. 2.4K, oneshot It's Hoth. It's cold.

we were secrets to keep by mollivanders ( @ladytharen) In which Jyn deals simultaneously with the losses on Scarif and her fear of more losses by sharing Cassian's bed.

Finding Myself (And Maybe You) (series) by Copper_Nails (Her_Madjesty) ( @coppernailpolish). 5 oneshots. This story is the most interesting premise I've seen so far: Cassian and Jyn share a bed before they leave Yavin IV for the first time, without that mutual trust. Pining and fantasizing happens anyway, and it's smoking hot.

Remastered by Lafayette1777 ( @lafayette1777) 9.7K, oneshot There are many ways to die. Incidentally, there are also many ways to disappear. Or: Jyn discovers life to be far more troublesome than death.

5 times Cassian and Jyn shared a bed by Moonprincess92 ( @moonprincess92nz) 4K, oneshot Need I say more than the title? After Scarif, Jyn has trouble sleeping and is found in all inconvenient places on the base. It's sweet and heartfelt and thoughtful.

Crash into You by jeeno2 ( @jeeno2) 8K, complete What starts off as comfort turns into longing, turns into making things happen as the years after Scarif go by.

the benefits of conversation by ignitesthestars ( @ignitesthestars). 1k, oneshot The prospect of a single bed on a mission is enough to force Jyn and Cassian into starting a conversation they've both been avoiding since Scarif.

falling together by ninemoons42 ( @ninemoons42). 4.7K, oneshot There's such a terrible, aching intimacy here when Cassian and Jyn share a bed, and it's beautiful.

Before I Wake, Before the Dawn by redfantasyfox ( @redfantasyfox) 6K, oneshot Five times Cassian and Jyn share a bed. Watching the two grow closer while being terrified of scaring the other away (and intimacy) is a joy.

fake relationship

compromise by ignitesthestars ( @ignitesthestars). 2.6K, WIP Everything written by ignitesthestars is delightful, but can you really move past perfectly in-character grumpy pining, while undercover on Coruscant, with bonus sharing a bed and the intimacy it involves? While humor comes with every line? I didn't think so.

Where are the rest? Get onto it, people.

hurt/comfort (i.e. taking care of one another)

cover me, I'll cover you by mollivanders ( @ladytharen) 3.4k, oneshot Jyn gets hurt on a mission. Cassian reacts predictably.

Hoarse by Selkit ( @coppermarigolds). 2k, oneshot Hoth is cold. Jyn is sick. Cassian is worried (once he realizes the person trying to sneak into his room is her, anyway).

Bloody Little Worms by Kobo ( @rxbxlcaptain). 2.7K, oneshot Jyn gets pretty darned sick while on Hoth, and Cassian is the first to notice. And he notices.

Closer by muggleindenial28 ( @jyn-mother-fucking-andor). 3.3K, oneshot After Scarif, Jyn and Cassian try to treat each other's scars. There's also platonic showering together that's exactly as intimate as it sounds.

what is decayed in you shall be made clean by imgoingtocrash ( @imgoingtocrash) 2.3k, oneshot. Injured and tired, Cassian and Jyn share a shower and take turns caring for each other.

Two Hours by vaultfox ( @vaultfox) 4.4K, oneshot After Eadu, Cassian patches up Jyn's wounds. There is, predictably, tension.

flight lessons by ignitesthestars ( @ignitesthestars) 1K, oneshot Jyn is slightly impaled and Cassian sees to her wound. Emotions are had.

There For You by guineapiggie. ( @ruby-red-inky-blue) 1.9K, oneshot After Eadu, Jyn tries to lock herself into her room, but Cassian doesn't let her. Cooking, yes, cooking ensues.

back from the dead (i.e. one person thinks the other is dead, and there is angst along with the pining? whatever i rec what i want)

We Can Turn Over and Start Again by kyrdwyn. 13K, WIP Okay. So, my personal preference for the trope aside, you have Jyn and K2 wandering the galaxy after Cassian 'dies', only to find that actually. Nope. Still alive. Cue explosive reunion.

you are your father's daughter by gingergenower ( @gingergenower). 1K, oneshot On a mission, Jyn was left behind and had to find her own way back home. Not everyone knew if she survived.

Fifteen Days by clashofqueens. 1.1K, oneshot It's hard to hold on to a happy ending during a war, and in the final days of the Rebellion, Jyn might lose hers.

untitled by @hurricanedancer. oneshot. 29: "I thought you were dead." It is predictably, awesomely angsty.

caught in the act (they tried to act on the mutual pining. they failed)

‘cause i’ve been banging on the walls, i’m too dry to cry by youareiron_andyouarestrong ( @youareiron-andyouarestrong). 500 words, oneshot In which K2 interrupts, and there is swearing and very clear threats.

Caught in the Act by jeeno2 ( @jeeno2). 700 words, oneshot K2 interrupts, after Cassian and Jyn have been successful a couple of times. The snark is real, and the snark is delicious.

A Million More Deaths by starforged ( @starforged) 3.2K, oneshot After Scarif, Cassian and Jyn sort things through (and make out). Unfortunately, just as they get closer... Or: the post-victory banter filled sex with feelings the fandom needed.

sex pollen (they tried not to act on the pining. they failed)

Dust by impertinence ( @stopthatimp). 1.6K, oneshot The planet Mon Mothma sent them to was supposed to be uninhabited and safe. It's only one of those things.

Color My Cheeks by Copper_Nails (Her_Madjesty) ( @coppernailpolish) 29K, complete Queen of Cassian/Jyn emotionally distraught smut, or queen and ruler of it? It starts off as hot sex on an alien planet, and then goes on to explore the aftermath, and it is beautiful.

mutual pining co-dependence (that doesn't fit anywhere else)

run to me in the rising dawn by katsumi ( @leralynne) 4.9k, oneshot 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.)

Alternatively, by ibohemianam. 10K, WIP Jyn and Cassian being dysfunctional post-Scarif, while still being completely hung up on one another. And yes, it hurts as much as you think it will.

We've Been Here Before by angel_deux. 2.5k, complete m not even sure if this belongs on the list, but it's so heartwrenchingly beautiful (and co-dependent tbh) that I couldn't. Be prepared to break your heart as you watch Jyn relive Scarif again and again (and again), watching the people she loves dies, until she can figure out how to break these loops. She's not leaving without Cassian.

my knees are cold (running home) by filzsimmons ( @jynersq). 7.3K, oneshot Jyn makes Cassian a deal -- she'll train with him if he promises to stop leaving the medical bay without clearance. Or: there is sexy sparing, and there is pining, but there's also actual communication and it's amazing.

Take Shelter by nymja ( @gizkasparadise) 20K, complete Jyn, Cassian, and the war not ending after Endor. Or: where the best kind of pining is based on the people they are, where sex isn't the issue, and emotions run high on both sides. The post-Scarif story everyone in the fandom should read tbh.

Now I know for a fact that a ton of great fic is missing from this list, so feel free to add more suggestions (especially from tumblr, since it’s hard to keep track of fic on tumblr). Don’t forget to leave feedback for the authors!

I have a lot of affection for PADME AMIDALA’s character and sometimes she can get a little lost in the shuffle (both in canon and in fandom) so LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY PADME FEELINGS AND WHAT WE COULD HAVE HAD, by which I mean cry about my feelings on Padme fic, especially Padme Lives fic. STAR WARS FIC RECS - PADME AMIDALA: PADME LIVES: ✦ Keep Breathing by Yesac, obi-wan/padme + some anakin/padme + luke & leia & oc, 45.8k ✦ the family amidala by dirgewithoutmusic, padme & obi-wan & luke & leia, 6.8k ✦ Rumours of my Demise by cupiscent, obi-wan/padme & cast, 4k ✦ Lights Will Guide You Home by darlingargents, obi-wan/padme & obi-wan/anakin/padme & cast, 6.2k wip ✦ turn my sorrow into treasured gold by cosmicocean, obi-wan/padme & luke & leia, 15.6k ✦ Far More Than Rubies by frodogenic, padme & luke & obi-wan & vader & cast, 71.7k ✦ Holder of the Torch by SimplexityJane, padme & obi-wan & luke & leia, 4.1k ✦ Circles by ambiguously, obi-wan/padme & luke & leia & anakin + past anakin/padme, 4.2k ✦ Resurrection by Lefaym, obi-wan/padme & cast, 1.1k ✦ recovery by dadcastellanos, obi-wan/padme, 1.8k ✦ counterpoise by spookykingdomstarlight, padme & obi-wan & luke & leia & cast, 6.1k ✦ The Beginning After the End by notbecauseofvictories, padme & cast (some anakin/padme & obi-wan & palpatine & luke & leia), padme lives, 7k ✦ We Push Away the Unimaginable by KeeperofSeeds, obi-wan & padme, 1.3k wip ✦ Padmé Lives to Tell the Tale by ninemoons42, padme & luke & leia & obi-wan & sabe & dorme & mon mothma, 14.7k DARK!PADME: ✦ It Would Ruin Us by themoosejthm, obi-wan/anakin/padme, NSFW, sith!padme, 4.6k ✦ Sharp and Bright and Vicious by TheFreakWithTheWings, obi-wan/anakin/padme + palpatine, sith!padme, ~1k PAMDE FIC: ✦ Leverage by venusmelody, padme & cast, 1.1k ✦ lose me in the crowds at twighlight by philthestone, padme & han, 3.4k ✦ Sea Change by sevenofspade, obi-wan/padme & anakin, 3.9k ✦ Fate, Inexorable by imadra_blue, Luthe, obi-wan/padme + anakin/padme + implied obi-wan/anakin, nsfw, 9.1k ✦ Supreme Chancellor Padme AU by phosphorescent-naidheachd, some anakin/padme, references to obi-wan/anakin(/padme?), ~1k OTHER PEOPLE REMEMBER PADME: ✦ A Figment of Mother’s Love by Darkmagyk, luke & leia & padme + anakin/padme + cast, 4.8k ✦ La memoria de mi madre by imadra_blue, leia & padme & cast, 2k NOT THE CENTRAL CHARACTER, BUT ENJOYABLE PADME ROLES: ✦ i could teach you (but i’d have to charge) by blackalien, obi-wan/anakin/padme & ahsoka & dooku & cast, 7.1k wip ✦ Plot Twist by skywalkersamidala, obi-wan/anakin/padme & ahsoka & cast, human au, 10.1k ✦ all I am are darken lines by KeeperofSeeds, obi-wan & padme, 3.7k ✦ untitled by themoosejthm, obi-wan & anakin/padme & ahsoka & luke & leia, 1k full details + recs under the cut!

STAR WARS FIC RECS - PADME AMIDALA: PADME LIVES: ✦ Keep Breathing by Yesac, obi-wan/padme + some anakin/padme + luke & leia & oc, 45.8k Padme doesn’t die at the end of Revenge of the Sith. Instead, she decides to take the twins and join Obi-Wan in exile. Oh, what a gorgeous fic for Padme’s character and it hit so many of the buttons I have for her relationships with both Anakin and Obi-Wan. I have a tenuous interest in Obi-Wan/Padme, it has to be done with such precision and I don’t see it ever really happening without the ghost of Anakin between them, but this fic gets that, because Anakin very much is the ghost in the room, even when their relationship grows beyond him, that it does become about them. It hit me so hard because they both love Anakin so very much, the loss of him never really goes away for either of them, they both so desperately miss him and want him back and want to believe that something of the person they loved is still in there, even as they fight back against him, even as they refuse to bend to him. The way the fic sets up their lives, the way Obi-Wan truly becomes the children’s father, the way Padme finds her strength again after everything she’s lost, it’s so spot on for the characters. The fic never shies away from the difficult things, never holds back on that this is Star Wars and tragedy follows everyone around, even as there is always hope. The scenes with Vader don’t come until later in the fic, but my heart hurt for everyone and, oh, the way Padme saw him and interacted with him and what she came to realize about herself and about Anakin, it was all beautifully built up and had really lovely character insight into all of them. It’s a fic that is so satisfying for how Padme’s life might have gone if she’d lived, how all of them might have changed, how some things stayed the same, in some ways it was better and in some ways it was worse. But I came to care about all of these characters, I was so glad that they got to have a family together, that there was love and meaning in their lives, yet it didn’t hold back on how things ultimately had to go. Plus, the ending was just perfect and it’s everything Star Wars should be. ✦ the family amidala by dirgewithoutmusic, padme & obi-wan & luke & leia, 6.8k Padme lives. She runs. I love this fic so much, I never knew how much I needed Padme living and raises her children, while Obi-Wan gets roped into their family, too. The shadow of Anakin is always there, it’s not about replacing him, they’ll always love him, but I love how they still live without him, that the twins grow up and are still so very much themselves, if different because of the families they have now. I love the way the fic echoes canon sometimes, the way Leia is still drawn to Alderaan, the way Luke is still so much like his mother, the way Leia is so much like her father, but it’s not the same still. This Padme is also gorgeously written, the sheer strength of her character in every scene is fantastic, and I love that this fic hurts less for Obi-Wan than the canon does. I loved this fic a lot. ✦ Rumours of my Demise by cupiscent, obi-wan/padme & cast, 4k Padme Amidala cannot live in a galaxy where he has come to be what he is. Obi-Wan Kenobi spends most of his time talking with ghosts. I’m often wary of Obi-Wan/Padme fic, because Anakin’s presence between them is such an important thing, that trying to find the line between that and genuinely connecting these characters can be difficult, but, oh, this fic managed it beautifully. It sticks pretty firmly to the canon timeline, just adding scenes between the moments we see on the screen, to show that Padme lived and that we don’t really know how much it changed, because it’s not about that, because in the same way that Obi-Wan didn’t survive Anakin’s fall, neither did Padme, they’re both halfway to being ghosts. The strength of both of them and yet how utterly bittersweet this piece is, how Anakin absolutely is between them and yet he’s not, it hit all the right buttons and, oh, the moments when Padme visits Obi-Wan on Tattoine or the messages they send each other now and again, it’s heartbreaking and perfect. ✦ Lights Will Guide You Home by darlingargents, obi-wan/padme & obi-wan/anakin/padme & cast, 6.2k wip Obi-Wan knew that if he didn’t leave now, Padmé would die. And so he made his decision. Chapters 1: This is only one chapter of a wip so far and it took me a bit of time to really get into it, but by the end of it, I was absolutely engaged with it and it doesn’t matter how many times I read Padme Lives fic or that she runs with Obi-Wan, when a fic can still be charming and sharp, I’m still always going to be there for it, like I am with this one. The slow sense of… not moving on from the grief, it’s still so fresh and overwhelming, but that sense of soldiering forward, of not giving up, of holding onto what little hope they have together, the quiet touches of whatever it is between them, as they hide out together and don’t talk about Anakin, as well as… there are just a lot of really great little quiet character moments. My favorite is probably when Obi-Wan and Luminara had a moment of shared mourning: Twenty-five thousand years of protecting the galaxy, and when our children were slaughtered and our temple burned, no one saved us. Ow. But also every moment of Obi-Wan and Padme with the babies and the quiet moment of a hand extended out in comfort in the middle of the night. I am super eager for more of this one, absolutely. Chapters 2-3: This is an update rec, so it will focus on these chapters, rather than the fic as a whole. I’d somehow missed chapter 2 being posted, so I got to read 2 and 3 at the same time and, ahhhh, I continue to want to roll around in this fic a lot. It’s a Divergent Timeline fic, where Padme doesn’t die, but instead she’s on the run with Obi-Wan, where they try to figure out what to do next, whether to hide while raising the twins or get involved with the Rebellion. I love that there’s such a strong relationship between them, I love love love fic where Obi-Wan raises the twins as their father, that his relationship with Padme isn’t necessarily quite romantic, but it’s not platonic, either. It’s… the ghost of Anakin is always between them and that’s my favorite, especially knowing that he’s still out there as Vader, that eventually that’s going to come to a head. I love the use of Barriss in this fic, that Luminara may not be a central character, but you can feel her struggle with her care for her former Padawan, all the more meaningful in this new galaxy where the Jedi are all but dead, that nothing is quite so clear-cut anymore. But also Padme! Who goes back to Coruscant to help get more intel! Who is brave and faces the terror of being in the same room as Palpatine and, of course, showing her face again means Vader will eventually have to know! All of this interspersed with Luke and Leia being teenagers now, that there are these moments of something like slice of life, but not, because they’re training and the Empire hangs over all their heads! And bringing Ahsoka back to all of them! It’s a really well-written, really solid story that I would love to have all of it in my hot little hands right this second, but am also enjoying each chapter as it comes out. ✦ turn my sorrow into treasured gold by cosmicocean, obi-wan/padme & luke & leia, 15.6k Padmé survives childbirth, dies as far as the rest of the galaxy is concerned, takes her children with Obi-Wan, and runs. Oh, I was just utterly engrossed by this fic, it’s such a lovely story about Obi-Wan and Padme post-ROTS and how they slowly develop a relationship, how Obi-Wan is absolutely Luke and Leia’s father even if they’re not his by blood, how Padme is their mother, how so many things are the same and yet so many things are different, how the fic can still break my heart and yet provide something a little better for these characters. The only way Obi-Wan/Padme usually works for me is when Anakin’s ghost both is and isn’t there, which this fic does perfectly, they both loved (love) him but he’s gone and they’re building something for the twins, they’re building something between the two of them as well, which all these little details and moments in the fic builds up towards. I love how much presence all four of them have here, that none of them are left out or forgotten by the story, I love that the fic is just so solidly good and I would have read another 100k of it, both for how much it pleased my id and just how well-told it was all the way around. This is a terrible rec, but this fic was an absolutely wonderful addition to the Padme Lives fic in the fandom, as well as for Obi-Wan raising the twins. ✦ Far More Than Rubies by frodogenic, padme & luke & obi-wan & vader & cast, 71.7k Nine years after AOTC, tragedy revisits the Lars Homestead. Little Luke Skywalker is suddenly plunged into chaos as the rebel movements discover a secret military project that may make a crucial difference in the war with the Empire. Oh, man, this fic was my joyful place for a few days because I just got so engrossed in it, it was such an utterly fantastic and engaging read! I admit, the first couple of chapters are rough, the fic relies too much on epithets and trying to obfuscate what’s obvious, but the writing quickly improves and by the end of the fic, it was very smooth and polished. I’ve read several Padme Lives AUs, but this one was special for just how much time it put into her relationship with Luke and gave me a really solid plot to go with it! Padme as part of the rebellion, as well as trying to reconnect with her son, that the action and the emotions go together in a really, really satisfying way was at the heart of this fic, it’s everything I could have asked for from why I read longer genfic in the first place, it could have been part of canon, for how spot on it felt in keeping up with the plot. There are so many things that made me love this fic, though, beyond just that it was an incredibly solid read, which I mean in the most complimentary way. Like that it’s absolutely a good Padme fic! It’s got a cute kid who isn’t too precocious, but instead you fall in love with kidlet Luke! It’s got a good amount of Obi-Wan, who at first is there to be a familiar face for Luke after they leave Tatooine, but then becomes a good friend to Padme all over again and supports their reestablishing relationship, and even if he’s not the focus he felt right to me. I loved that he didn’t always agree with Padme, I loved the interaction he had with both her and Luke, how much he obviously cared for both of them, I loved every second of his relationship with Anakin in this fic. But, ultimately, this was Padme’s fic and she’s perfect here, she’s so human and fragile in some ways, but so strong and like steel in other ways, just as she should be. Her dedication to the Rebellion, but also her absolute utter ache over the loss of Anakin, her hesitancy about not sure what she should do, but also that she knows what she wants, the way she had to work to rebuild her relationship with Luke, but it’s so good when she does! ALL OF IT was so, so satisfying and a great read for anyone interested in these characters. ✦ Holder of the Torch by SimplexityJane, padme & obi-wan & luke & leia, 4.1k Padmé Amidala has to make a life for herself and her children out of the ashes of her old world. It’s a very good thing she’s survived so many assassination attempts. I picked this up for the Obi-Wan & Padme interaction, but it’s really more of a Padme piece and it’s a few snippets in amongst the greater ROTS storyline and a Padme Lives storyline, as she raises her children in the Space Jewish way. It was a solid, interesting piece that was a good look at Padme’s character and gave her more of what I wanted for her. ✦ Circles by ambiguously, obi-wan/padme & luke & leia & anakin + past anakin/padme, 4.2k Padmé and Obi-Wan raise the twins together while hiding from the Empire. I will always love fics with this concept, especially when they’re so beautifully done like this one is, where everything is so painful and bittersweet and yet there is still hope. This is primarily a Padme piece, how shattered she is by the events of ROTS, but manages to live through them here, the way her children are everything to her, the way Obi-Wan becomes so dear to her, the way they both share this absolutely aching loss of Anakin, that their relationship is never free from his ghost between them, even as they genuinely care about each other. It’s just the right amounts of everything there. And it’s a fascinating look at trying to keep her children from a Vader that knows he has a child, how they can all hide for only so long, how Luke and Leia are such strong personalities already, there’s a great climax scene with so much hurt to go around for everyone, and it’s just. A really, really fascinating Padme Lives AU, seeing what could have been in a different world, for better or worse. ✦ Resurrection by Lefaym, obi-wan/padme & cast, 1.1k It’s hard to adapt to life as a dead woman. But not everyone sees her that way. Not quite. One of the best things about the May The 4th Be With You exchange this year is that there were some really interesting and engaging Padme fics to read, of which this was one, where she lived and went into hiding and it’s just so bittersweet and heartwrenching for her. She can’t do anything without too big of a risk, she has to stay back and always hide, always stay distant from her children and the man she loved and even her own name. It’s not a long fic, it’s just a handful of scenes, but it does a lovely job of showing how difficult this is for her, how deeply she mourns, and the connection between her and Obi-Wan, the loss that only the two of them share. This is exactly how I like their relationship and it was just right here. ✦ recovery by dadcastellanos, obi-wan/padme, 1.8k Padmé survives the loss of Anakin and goes into hiding with Obi-Wan. Slowly, slowly, they make something of their new lives together. Oh, I really enjoyed this fic a lot, that Obi-Wan and Padme eventually manage to find some measure of peace and happiness together, that it takes them a long time to do so, that it’s not this great, grand, huge passion, but a steady, slow love that binds them together, with Anakin’s ghost almost lingering on the edges of the both of them. That’s exactly how I ship them and I loved that this was just as much about Padme trying to cope, that she can’t do it perfectly or all at once, she’s still destroyed by the loss of Anakin, but eventually recovers into something like her old self. It’s not a long fic, but you feel the passage of time, you feel the sorrow and loss just as much as the sparks of hope at the same time, which is just what Star Wars fic should be. This was really lovely. ✦ counterpoise by spookykingdomstarlight, padme & obi-wan & luke & leia & cast, 6.1k Guilt stabs into Padmé’s chest, a rhythmic pain that keeps time with her pulse. Leia knows her father was a Jedi, that he loved her—would have loved her—and that he died fighting the Emperor before there was ever really such a thing as the Rebellion. It’s the truth. From a certain point of view. But that doesn’t stop doubt from coursing, ragged, through her veins. This round of May The 4th Be With You brought a lot of new Padme Lives AUs and I’ve enjoyed being able to snatch so many of them up, but I think this one might be my favorite yet. It’s such a great look at her character, it aches for what she’s lost and how it hurts every time she has to step aside to protect her children and protect the galaxy, how much it hurts for what she’s lost and how she can’t even bring herself to think Anakin’s name most days, yet how she never entirely breaks, how she continues to love and survive and live. Her relationship with the various people around her, Obi-Wan and her children, are lovely and full of such compassion and care and sadness, that her children grow up to be brilliant each in their own ways, that Leia especially is such a mix of both parents, so many beautiful little details woven into the story here. It’s a gorgeous read from start to finish, especially for the mother/daughter relationship that feels like it’s everything they could have been. So, so lovely a read. ✦ The Beginning After the End by notbecauseofvictories, padme & cast (some anakin/padme & obi-wan & palpatine & luke & leia), padme lives, 7k Padmé wakes to the back of Obi-Wan’s head, his hair mussed and his arms spread, outstretched over her knees as though to shield her from all that would come. (Too late, Padmé thinks, feeling the dull ache around her throat, where phantom hands tightened. Much too late for that now.) This was a lovely look at Padme’s character, at a scenario where she lived and had to carry on, hiding her children away from Palpatine and mourning the death of Anakin and the Republic she so loved. There’s a lovely sort of friendship between her and Obi-Wan that’s somewhat comforting but also never quite gets out of the mourning stage, and probably never will after they learn that Anakin survived Mustafar–which is the highlight of the fic. The tension of the scene was perfect, the moment that Vader and Padme were in the same room together again was so good, everything about Padme’s character wrenched at my heart for what she had been through and how torn apart that relationship was. But it’s also a story of Padme slowly coming to the Rebellion in her own way and it’s a great look at her character overall! ✦ We Push Away the Unimaginable by KeeperofSeeds, obi-wan & padme, 1.3k wip RotS AU: Padme survives. Weak from her injuries on Mustafar and healing after giving birth, she and the twins are taken into hiding by Obi Wan. Now they are on the run from the Empire and dealing with each other’s trauma, as they try to figure out what to do after your world falls apart. This is only the first chapter of a WIP, but it’s a Padme Lives AU, it has a lovely look at her character, both the strength and the sorrow, and it has lovely interaction between her and Obi-Wan. It’s one of those that you should probably only pick up if you’re okay with WIPs, since there’s not yet much time for things to be happening, but just having those scenes between Padme and Obi-Wan, how they draw comfort from each other, how the early days of their new lives are so painful and yet they have hope, ahhh, this is what I keep coming back to these AUs for. ✦ Padmé Lives to Tell the Tale by ninemoons42, padme & luke & leia & obi-wan & sabe & dorme & mon mothma, 14.7k One: Padmé lives. Two: she survives the birth of the twins. Three: she does not let anyone take the twins away from her. Four: she rallies her friends and allies together once again. I am greatly fond of Padme Lives AUs, so I was intrigued by this one and it’s a solid, fun piece that has a lot of neat things! While I was initially attracted because of the promised Padme & Obi-Wan interaction, he’s really hardly in it at all, this is very much all about Padme’s character and making her the most awesome, but also about her getting to raise her children and how difficult this all is for her, but how she pulls through for them. It’s five fics set at different points in how she gets involved with the rebellion and it’s got a strong focus on female characters, which is always nice to see for a change! A solid, good read that I tore through everything of yesterday. DARK!PADME: ✦ It Would Ruin Us by themoosejthm, obi-wan/anakin/padme, NSFW, sith!padme, 4.6k This is a Sith!Padme fanfic where nothing is okay and no one wins. It features obianidala, obsessive love, and no happy ending. I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize I would love the idea of Sith!Padme as much as I do, but, oh, I really love her here, I love that this is both an Obianidala fic and really a Padme fic, that it winds together her history and her ruthlessness and anger and posessiveness, that she’s obsesed with Anakin and the only one she’ll ever share him with is Obi-Wan but even that is doomed to fall apart, all written beautifully. There are so many great little moments, I love that the fic isn’t a happy one precisely, this Padme is dangerous and lethal and angry, but there are moments of them being happy together, she cares so deeply about Anakin, she gets along so well with Obi-Wan, especially when they’re fucking Anakin, whether he’s on his knees and filled up with Obi-Wan while she directs them or she’s sitting on Anakin’s face while Obi-Wan slowly opens him up, they can be stable for a few moments and it’s so good, until something threatens what’s hers and then she’s off. I love that this fic is beautifully written, I love her obsession with Anakin and the weight of her character here, I love that it’s a fucked up universe but in such an engaging, engrossing way, I love that I would have read it for those moments of sex (seriously, they’re so ridiculously hot, every time Anakin is a whiny needy mess because he wants more, it’s perfection) but that I wound up loving it for Padme herself, too. ✦ Sharp and Bright and Vicious by TheFreakWithTheWings, obi-wan/anakin/padme + palpatine, sith!padme, ~1k Padmé’s plans have accelerated. It is time to rid the galaxy of Darth Sidious. I have a weakness for any and all Sith AUs and this one was really charming and entirely fun! I love the elegance of the character, as Padme faces off against Palpatine, that she’s entirely willing to straight up murder him because he touched what was hers, that he tried to take Anakin from her. I’m just really charmed by the images this put in my head, the way it caught my imagination for how would Padme try to poach Obi-Wan from the Jedi, because Anakin wouldn’t be entirely happy without him? How would their Empire look, once Palpatine was gone? I love stuff like that! PAMDE FIC: ✦ Leverage by venusmelody, padme & cast, 1.1k “Her children need her. That is true. And she can give them only one thing.” Or, the real reason Padmé let go of life, and heartbreak was just a miniscule part. This was a lovely look at Padme’s character and why she gave up on living at the end of ROTS, why it was a deliberate choice against what she personally wanted and why she thought it was the thing she had to do. It’s a good read for her character, but also it helps to potentially take some of the sting out of what happened to her, how her story ended, to give her this choice being hers. I love a good Padme Lives AU, but at the end of the way we’re still tied to the canon and this was a good look at what could have been going on with her character. ✦ lose me in the crowds at twighlight by philthestone, padme & han, 3.4k Padme could already see the headlines: “Distinguished Senator from Naboo disrupts pleasant upper-class dining environment by trying to buy the Corellian street urchin who was robbing her a sandwich.” Oh, I loved this fic a lot, it’s such a beautiful look at Padme’s character, who is so kind and compassionate and diplomatic to everyone she meets, to everyone who deserves it, no matter who they are. It’s pretty adorable to see her interacting with kidlet Han, who was absolutely darling, I loved it for the connection of it all, knowing how important he would be to her children one day, but also just because, oh, this was Padme and it was such a lovely look at her character and the little moments of her kindness, even when there’s so much else going on in her life, she still absolutely has time for moments like this. A great read. ✦ Sea Change by sevenofspade, obi-wan/padme & anakin, 3.9k Padmé Amidala is accompanied by Obi-Wan Kenobi to Naboo and Anakin Skywalker is the galaxy’s worst detective. This is one of those fics that’s a bit difficult to describe, where things are set up a little differently and so events (and relationships) unfold differently and it did have moments of needing more connecting pieces, but I found that I really enjoyed reading this as a Padme piece, I enjoyed it getting to see Obi-Wan and Padme develop a friendship, which did involve sex, but it’s not love for either of them, which works for me. There are some fun Anakin moments as well, there’s a lot of things that just seem to go a little better in this universe, and sometimes that’s really nice to read! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. ✦ Fate, Inexorable by imadra_blue, Luthe, obi-wan/padme + anakin/padme + implied obi-wan/anakin, nsfw, 9.1k When Anakin is kidnapped by Separatists during the Clone Wars, Padmé accompanies Obi-Wan to rescue him. On a strange trio of planets, they search for him, drawing closer in their mutual fear for Anakin. The bonds that form will not be strong enough to face the future that awaits them in Revenge of the Sith. Oh, I really enjoyed this fic a lot, for the look at Padme’s character especailly. It does go against canon in a few ways, so you have to just roll with that, but it’s not really a story about those things, it’s about Obi-Wan and Padme worrying about Anakin who has been kidnapped and how that draws the two of them together. It’s lovely in how unrelentingly caring and compassionate that Padme is, that she loves Anakin so much and she’s drawn to Obi-Wan both for how charismatic he is and because of his connection to Anakin, that she can be envious and nervous about what that connection is, that it’s something she feels outside of, while never letting it make her any less of an amazing and caring person. The way she sees how much Anakin means to Obi-Wan, the way she feels that connection, just as much as her own connection to Anakin (and the subtle worry that maybe it’s more than her own) is nicely done. The fic is never about punishing her for being drawn to Obi-Wan when worried about Anakin, that it’s the missing presence of his between them that’s what draws them together in the first place, that it feels somehow natural for Obi-Wan to slide into her the way Anakin usually does, the way she can’t help but see Obi-Wan sliding into Anakin instead of her, so while it’s infidelity and she feels gulty about that, it takes nothing from her character and instead only adds to it. It’s a fic that’s really about two established relationships and the third one that’s temporary only because of how they both feel about Anakin, which hits pretty much on exactly what I want from Obi-Wan/Padme. ✦ Supreme Chancellor Padme AU by phosphorescent-naidheachd, some anakin/padme, references to obi-wan/anakin(/padme?), ~1k Early into the events of Return of the Sith, the Delegation of 2000 calls for a vote of no confidence in Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. By some miracle, it actually passes and Padme is voted in as interim chancellor. This is sort of half fic and half fic summary, but it’s a delightful AU sketching where things go a little differently, Padme takes over as Chancellor and things become so much better. I love how happy it is and I actually really love the idea of Padme being Chancellor, I would have loved to have seen what she’d done with the role, I love how she was such a force for good here and it allowed so much to go so much better. This was lovely. OTHER PEOPLE REMEMBER PADME: ✦ A Figment of Mother’s Love by Darkmagyk, luke & leia & padme + anakin/padme + cast, 4.8k “Where was she from?” Luke asked. “To have soft hands.” This was a lovely look at the twins wondering about their mother and eventually learning about her. Padme’s influence on the OT is subtle and often ignored (understandably so, with the way it was set up) so it’s nice to see Luke and Leia discovering her, to see the reflections of her in her children, how Leia looks like her and Luke takes after her. It’s just the right amount of bittersweet to go with the painful, I really loved this a lot. ✦ La memoria de mi madre by imadra_blue, leia & padme & cast, 2k Five times Leia didn’t recognize her mother and the one time she did. A collection of scenes that show Leia’s connection to her mother, even when she has no idea who the woman is or that there’s anything significant there yet. They’re lovely moments, often bittersweet for knowing the truth behind all of that Leia’s unaware of, but entirely worth reading for a wonderful look at mother & daughter, and then continuing on with Rey, in my favorite of all the scenes. NOT THE CENTRAL CHARACTER, BUT ENJOYABLE PADME ROLES: ✦ i could teach you (but i’d have to charge) by blackalien, obi-wan/anakin/padme & ahsoka & dooku & cast, 7.1k wip ( aka: that high school teachers au that literally no one was going to ask for, but needed to be done. featuring: anakin and ahsoka terrorizing the entire school, the clones as secretaries, and obi-wan, who definitely deserves a raise. let’s not even talk about dooku. ) Chapter 1: I was just so completely and utterly charmed by this fic, I can’t even tell you. It felt entirely self-aware of the tropes and silliness it was embracing, that it was having a blast and it made me have a great time right along with it, because it was so sharp and funny and absolutely delightful. There can be a skill to writing cracky high school AU fics and this fic felt like it had that, so all the little touches were an absolute delight. I love that I enjoyed these characters, I enjoyed Anakin’s dramatics, I enjoyed Padme’s sensibleness, I enjoyed Obi-Wan’s being the only semi-sane one in the room, I enjoyed that Dooku’s life was so put-upon, I enjoyed that I just smiled my way through this entire fic and would have read at least ten times more of it, if I’d been able to! Chapter 2: This is an update rec, so you should start at the beginning if you haven’t read the first chapter yet. This is one of those modern AUs that’s totally cracky and good-hearted and joyfully embraces being silly and adorable that it just makes me feel good to read it. This chapter goes even harder on the silliness and adorable crackiness, but there’s just such charm to it, such affection for every character (the obvious faves, but even with Dooku, while you’re laughing at him, you also instinctually understand why his life is so hard) that it was just a super cute, fun read that I totally enjoyed! ✦ Plot Twist by skywalkersamidala, obi-wan/anakin/padme & ahsoka & cast, human au, 10.1k The supposed love triangle between Mr. Skywalker, Ms. Amidala, and Mr. Kenobi is all their students (and even their fellow teachers) can talk about. The only thing is, no one at Coruscant High School can figure out exactly which of them are together. I sank into this story like it was tasty candy because, oh, it was. I love school AUs and I love when the characters really fit into the roles, I love that Anakin is kind of a major disaster but his charm is in how he can be both brilliant and terrible, I love that Padme is polished and lovely but also so warm and caring, and I love that Obi-Wan is so sharp and incredible but also so human, I love that there’s such absolute charm and sparkle between the three of them that I fell in love all over again. I love that Anakin’s attraction to both of them is legitimate, I love that he’s instantly in love with Padme as soon as he sees her, I love that he’s wildly attracted to Obi-Wan and cares about him, I love that Padme leans on his shoulder when they’re curled up on the couch together, I love that Obi-Wan backs Anakin up against the whiteboard to kiss him because Anakin so badly wants just to kiss him right then, I love that the three of them are the absolute gossip of the school, that no one can figure out which of them are dating and it’s all just so…. It’s all so good-hearted and happy, it knows it’s silly at times but embraces that and comes out actually being a really solidly written story for these three. It’s one of those that made me happy in my very soul, because Anakin should definitely be sandwhiched between his two favorite people forever and always. ✦ all I am are darken lines by KeeperofSeeds, obi-wan & padme, 3.7k Padmé visits Obi-Wan on Tatooine as a Force-Ghost. Often times I’m at war with myself over: On the one hand, it was a really huge deal that a small handful of characters figured out how to become Force Ghosts and just tossing another one in there goes against how important/rare that was vs Obi-Wan and Padme’s friendship means so very much to me! And their friendship was lovely here, I loved this Padme, she was the highlight of the fic, how gentle and yet stubborn she was, how she watched over and loved both of her children, how she watched over them, how she tried to help with Obi-Wan’s grief after everything that had happened. She’s the one I read this fic for and she was absolutely lovely here, especially because they never really talk that much about Anakin, but you can feel the ghost of his presence in the room, and that’s just how I like these two. ✦ untitled by themoosejthm, obi-wan & anakin/padme & ahsoka & luke & leia, 1k Anonymous asked: Padme: “I always have a note in my pocket that says "Anakin did it” just in case I’m murdered because I don’t want him to remarry.“ This is adorable and totally happy and warm-hearted and lovely! It’s a universe where everything has gone better, where they’re all there for the birth of the twins, where Padme is loopy on painkillers and it’s both hilarious and just joyful because she’s so happy, because Anakin’s so happy, because Obi-Wan’s so happy, becaus Ahsoka’s so happy. It’s a cute prompt and it’s used in the most adorable, super cute way here, one of those that’s entirely fluffy but still so well-written and I still have the biggest :D face just thinking about this universe and how happy it is.
