The word count of my Star Wars doc has gotten too high, it takes forever to load 🥲

So. I’m going to write brief snippets and hope that someone likes some of them enough to encourage me to finish them or post them

Some of them are done, I’m just really bad at posting things 😔

They probably won’t have the same titles, but I’ll use the “title” I gave them in the doc. Some of these are very dumb, and you have to understand that I occasionally write things for the vibe and literally no other rhyme or reason, so bear with me…

1. Jedi Sanctioned Attachment

This is an alternate take of the Clone Wars where, at some vague point, a deadly flu sweeps the planets. The only cure is the fruit of a specific plant, but this plant will only grow if the person it chooses shows it affection. Nobody knows why it chooses whoever it chooses, but it makes a choice and that person has to give it affection if they want the plant to bear fruit.

The medicine made from it has to be made from a fresh fruit, and the medicine works best when fresh, and the planet that grows this plant is on the outer rim of the Outer Rim planets, so the locals give the Jedi a sapling in a pot to hopefully find someone to care for it.

The plant latches on to Anakin.

(I wrote this whole thing because I thought to myself: “What would it take for the Jedi to allow one of their own to be openly attached? As in, as attached as Anakin gets, which is obsessively attached.” This was what I came up with.)

Excerpt:

“You must take a sapling that has yet to choose a caretaker,” the local explains to Anakin, carefully patting down more soil in the sapling’s little pot. “That way, it will not suffer from being separated.”

Anakin seems to hesitate, suddenly. The local looks at him with large, pupil-less eyes that are the same shade of light pink as the plant. Anakin helps pat down some of the soil, his face slightly perturbed, his lips pressed together.

“Will it…” he trails off.

“What is it?” the local lilts gently, as though coaxing a wild animal. “Ask your questions, I will answer them.”

“Will it hurt the plant to be separated from the rest?” Anakin asks, brows furrowed. “Will it get lonely?”

The local blinks at him, at a loss for words. Anakin doesn’t notice, too busy gently sprinkling droplets of water on the plant’s leaves, as he was shown.

“It will not get lonely,” the local offers, heart racing a bit because of how earnestly concerned Anakin seems (the locals all knew the Jedi were attractive, but this is just too much-). “As long as it stays with its caretaker, it will be comfortable.”

2. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan: Time Traveling Obi-Wan and Oblivious Qui-Gon

I began writing this one while I was reading Cloak of Deception. I like Obi-Wan’s and Qui-Gon’s relationship a lot in the book, it’s very sweet! Qui-Gon just cares so much for his uppity little padawan (the uppitiest!) and Obi-Wan is so cute. I love Padawan Obi-Wan a lot.

I wanted to write something with Qui-Gon being whipped, because I really believe that, if Obi-Wan ever asked for anything, Qui-Gon would’ve made sure he got it. I also wanted to write a bit of Obi-Wan post-Clone Wars (I imagine in this that he is still in the phase he was in in the 2015 Marvel comic run, where he just wanted to lie down and die). I like Clone Wars - post Clone Wars era Obi-Wan a lot, and I like oblivious Qui-Gon a lot, so I combined them. That was as far as my thought process went, but I also decided to add little baby Anakin and his mom because I love Anakin (I am not very subtle about my love for Anakin, as you will quickly find (nor am I subtle about my love for Obi-Wan or Luke (my beloved) or Leia or Chewie or Artoo or-))

Excerpt:

Qui-Gon wonders, quietly to himself, what’s going on.

“I’m sorry, Master,” Obi-Wan repeats, over and over again, barely audible, his voice trembling.

Qui-Gon decides that a bit of attachment can’t hurt Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan is great at being a Jedi, he should have one flaw. He deserves to have one flaw. As a treat.

3. Force Ghost Master Qui-Gon of Living Padawan Luke

I read a time travel story (I didn’t finish reading it, because I didn’t like the direction it was headed, but that’s my own personal opinion) where Luke could see Qui-Gon as a Force ghost. I liked that thought very much. Luke does seem to have a real talent for seeing Force ghosts, in the movies, so I thought to myself: “How long has Luke been able to see Force ghosts?”

A question I often have is why Force ghosts can’t be Masters to younger Jedi. If the young Jedi can’t see them, then okay, I guess, but why couldn’t Force Ghost Obi-Wan train Luke? I’m sure there are in universe reasons, but where my mind first went is “Why stop at Luke being trained by Force Ghost Obi-Wan? Why not go all the way back so that kid Luke is trained by Force Ghost Qui-Gon?” And thus, I began to write.

Excerpt:

“I was waiting for my old apprentice to return,” Qui-Gon answered. “He lives here.”

“Ben?” Luke suggested. “Ben Kenobi?”

“I knew him by Obi-Wan,” Qui-Gon said, “but yes, Ben Kenobi.”

“Wow! What was he an apprentice of?” Luke asked.

“You don’t know?” Qui-Gon seemed honestly confused by this.

Luke shook his head. “I’m not s’posed to talk to Ben. Or talk about Ben. Or think about Ben. Or exist in any close proximity to Ben.”

“What did he do?” Qui-Gon seemed highly amused.

Luke shrugged again. “I dunno! Uncle Owen just says he’s a weird old desert hermit wizard and that he’s a bad influence.”

Qui-Gon laughed so hard at this, he flickered out of sight for a full five minutes, only his audible laughter assuring Luke that we was still there.

(Qui-Gon honestly felt like he might die again, but of laughter this time. Obi-Wan Kenobi being called a bad influence. It was too good.)

4. Trained By Obi-Wan, Luke Is. In The Ways Of Sarcasm

I love AUs where Vader finds Luke early (this may be obvious, I’ve already posted one and written a whole story about Anakin never Falling in the first place, so…) My favourite type of this is when Vader catches Luke on Bespin. They are both so angry and Luke is in denial and Vader wants his son to please like him please, I like it a lot!

However, I don’t think I write angst very well, nor do I usually enjoy writing angst. So, my version is more of an ill-tempered-rebellious-teenager-like Luke and very tired dad Vader. In this one, at least.

Excerpt:

Luke Skywalker was in a cell

The infamous pilot, Red Five, who had blown up the Death Star. The young man who claimed to be a Jedi and used a lightsaber. The boy who was still in clothes that smelled like he’d gotten into a fight with a swamp and lost. Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader’s son, was finally captured.

Vader had finally done it. And all it had taken was three years, a trap, a few million credits, countless hours spent pacing and trying to figure out what motivated Luke and therefore what would help Vader catch him, a fight, cutting off his son’s hand, and catching him beneath Cloud City while he hung precariously off a thin metal tube. Easy.

Although yes, it had taken some… convincing to get Luke to come down.

He had clung to the branch of metal with his arms and legs and refused to let go, going so far as to hiss at the few Stormtroopers who tried to get him. Luke had snapped his teeth at Vader, too, but Vader had dealt with loth cats before, in a past life, and so grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him in. Luke spent the whole trip kicking and scratching, trying to remove Vader’s fingers from his collar, only to give up and try to remove the collar of his shirt. He was very nearly free when Vader finally managed to toss him into the very first cell they came across.

5. Dagobah Luke

This story came about because I made my brother watch one of the Lego Star Wars shorts with me, the one about getting the holocrons out of the Jedi temple, and I really liked Obi-Wan and Yoda as a duo in that. But, even more than that, I often wonder what Obi-Wan would’ve done if they didn’t raise Luke on Tatooine. Where else would he go?

Dagobah.

Excerpt:

“Human children are not supposed to eat raw frogs!” Obi-Wan insisted.

They both looked over at Luke. Luke looked back, face carefully blank. He slowly slurped up the frog leg that dangled from his mouth, as though doing so slowly would make it less noticeable. He didn’t even chew before he swallowed what Obi-Wan could only assume was the entire frog, whole.

Obi-Wan and Yoda looked back at each other.

“See a problem I do not,” Yoda commented.

6. Fem Anakin My Tall Beloved

I like to write genderbends. It’s one of my favourite genres, actually, and it was always my favourite episodes of tv shows as a kid. So, I write them often. Well, somewhat often. I also really like Fem!Obi-Wan and M!Padme so I put them in too. Their names are the same, because I don’t really think there’s a masculine version of Padme or a feminine one of Obi-Wan 😅

This is just me self-indulgently making female Anakin tall. That’s really about it. With some ObiAniDala thrown in, because I love the trio.

Excerpt:

“I’m going to roll in the mud the second I’m released,” Anakin decided.

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan repeated.

“I’ll go wrestle a rancor in the mud,” she specified.

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan sighed again, but her mouth was twitching up in a grin.

7. Beru Lives Go!

As the title suggests, my only thought going in was “Beru lives, go!” So, Beru goes with them to Alderaan and stays on the ship or something until they get back. And Vader sees her while fighting Obi-Wan and immediately is very confused. I just wanted crack, to be honest, the whole thing is a big ball of crack. I’m unapologetic ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯

Excerpt:

“Luke,” Leia snapped. “You are talking to Darth Vader!”

“Well, yes,” Luke agreed. “And I know Ben said Vader killed my father-“

“I did not,” Vader announced. “Kenobi lies.”

“Don’t spin this on me!” Obi-Wan argued immediately. “You told me you killed him! If he isn’t really dead, then you lied!”

“I didn’t lie,” Vader growled. “He’s dead.”

“But it isn’t my fault,” Obi-Wan inferred. “And it isn’t your doing. Who killed him then? Palpatine?”

“Well, no-“

“Then who?” Obi-Wan mocked.

“I can still kill you from this distance,” Vader growled.

8. Han and Chewie, Falling For Luke Immediately

I wrote this after I read the old Star Wars: A New Hope novel from the seventies. Han constantly complains about Luke and how much trouble he’s going through, but at the first sign of actual trouble, he can’t help but back Luke up. And Chewie just loves Luke so much, he nearly knocks him over after the Battle of Yavin, it was so cute!

So, this is just an expansion of Han internally monologuing over how weird and lame Luke is while simultaneously slowly becoming obsessed with making sure that Luke’s safe.

Excerpt:

Han shook it off and turned to Chewie. He could ponder weird desert twinks later, right now was the time to get to work so they could get paid so Jabba would shut up.

9. Obi-Wan Being Allowed To Be A Part Of Luke’s Childhood

This was written with one simple idea in mind: Obi-Wan seeing Luke growing and thinking “this is my punishment for all of my sins, I have to watch over a miniature Padme who looks like Anakin,” only for Obi-Wan to die and watch Anakin deal with his kids and think, “actually, this is a gift from the Force. Thank you, Force :)”

It evolved into Obi-Wan being around while Luke was growing up, but the main focus remains on Obi-Wan finally being rewarded by the Force by watching his problem Padawan have problems. The balance, restored…

This one is a bit darker (a lot darker) in tone than I usually write. I started writing it while I was feeling a bit out of sorts, so that probably translates into the text as well. I’ll probably make this one and a story about Obi-Wan actually watching Anakin panic over his terror twins into separate stories, but for now…

Excerpt:

His comm beeped.

Obi-Wan whirled around to face it, staring blankly because it hadn’t gone off in six years and he only kept it out to feel less useless. He looked around, hoping to find another explanation for a comm-like beep, but his comm beeped again, the light flashing to indicate a call, and he hesitated for only a moment before answering.

He hoped that there really was someone calling, and that this wasn’t a hallucination.

10. Well, Sometimes Luke Eats Womp Rats

I like… Eldritch Horror Abomination Monster Luke. I like Eldritch Gods Force Kids Anakin, Luke, and Leia. I like writing a bit of horror elements, every now and then. I like writing 80’s horror flick style gore; over the top and unrealistic and more funny (to me) than scary.

And I really like the idea of Owen being the panicky parents and Beru being the chill one. That’s their whole dynamic! Beru is like “Luke’s been gone a few hours lol” while Owen’s like “if Luke is not back in fifteen minutes, I’m calling the neighbourhood watch.” And I love that, and I love them raising Luke, but I especially love them raising Eldritch horror Luke who sometimes talks to the ghosts of decorated war generals and who sometimes glows and floats and who sometimes eats womp rats. I especially like Owen panic-calling Obi-Wan to question him whenever Luke acts weird.

Excerpt:

“Is this a Jedi thing?” Beru asked, one day.

Luke had his jaws clamped tight on the neck of a womp rat, and was viciously shaking his head back and forth. He was also ten.

Luckily, this was Luke’s name day. And, as with every other name day, they invited Obi-Wan, because Obi-Wan was a sad, lonely old man who always got drunk on Luke’s name day and they felt kind of bad about it. They were pretty sure he was trying to drink to forget. Forget what? They didn’t know and they were pretty sure they didn’t want to know.

Either way, his presence meant that Obi-Wan could answer the question posed to him.

“There were many members of the Order,” Obi-Wan explained. “Many different species. There were all kinds of different biologies and eating habits.”

Luke tore the womp rat’s head clean off its body. The spine followed with a sickening schlop sound like a stick being pulled out of the mud. Luke started absentmindedly chewing on the spinal cord, digging around in the beheaded beast’s body until he found the heart. He started playing with it. He liked how squishy and warm it was.

“So, this is normal?” Beru suggested.

“Oh, no, of course not,” Obi-Wan laughed. “This is terrifying. This child right here is the stuff of my nightmares.”

11. If I Devour Enough I May Be Full

:) I’m gonna post this one on my birthday (Nov. 19) so look forward to it. It’s very short, but I think it’s fun. I added it because I’m adding them all, so…

12. Force Children

This is the third of my Eldritch Abomination Skywalker Family. In this one, I wanted to explore more of what it would entail, you know? Like, Sometimes Luke Eats Womp Rats goes into detail, yes, but that’s mostly just Luke. I wnated to explore what it would’ve been like for Anakin and Leia, as well.

And, I have a long-running theory that Luke and Leia are super powerful because Anakin’s power was too much for one body, but more managable over two. Like, they both make up Anakin, if that makes sense? And I don’t mean to erase Padme in all of this, I just feel like Eldritch Horror Monster genes are probably dominant, y’know?

Anyway, I’ve always really liked the difference between Leia and Luke, where Leia is more quick to get emotional, especially angry or frustrated with a situation. Meanwhile, Luke almost never shows very much emotion, so it makes his anger or sadness or joy hit a bit harder, because he otherwise isvery difficult to read. (That may just be me, though, because I don’t read faces very well.) Together, Luke can calm Leia while Leia can draw out Luke’s passion and I think it’s fun.

I also think Leia and Anakin are both kinda hot heads who are quick to get protective, meanwhile, Luke is just hanging out, y’know? He’s chillin’, he’s vibin’, he’s Luke-in’. In the book, he zoned out a lot, and I like that characterization very much.

Excerpt:

Anakin sometimes glowed.

Not in a metaphorical sense. Sometimes, Anakin was standing around, staring into space, and light slowly seeped out of him, like a sunrise. One time, he’d gotten so bright that he physically couldn’t be looked at. One time, he’d glowed and words in a thousand languages all at the same time came out of his throat despite his mouth remaining unmoving and it being physically impossible. One time, he’d been handing credits to a customer only to unexpectedly grab his hand and pull him to his knees, eyes glowing and rapidly changing colours and his mouth opening and opening and opening until it was open wide enough to swallow the customer whole, and there were countless teeth in jagged rows and they were never ending and they spiralled down Anakin’s throat and the customer had pissed himself before rushing out of the store, leaving behind a confused eight-year-old who had no memory of what happened but was forced to clean up the mess anyway.

13. Shmi and Luke, What Will They Do

I just wanted the two calmest characters in the entirety of the Star Wars franchise to hang out a little bit, you know? Like, Shmi is literally dying and she’s like “oh well, love you, Ani, glad I got to see you again.” Luke is getting struck by Force lightning (over and over again) and he’s just like “Father… please…” Both of them are so calm, I wish I had this amount of chill.

Also, I like the idea (the weird idea) that the Force, the all-powerful aura that surrounds all things, got a lil crush on Shmi and that’s why she got pregnant. I also like the idea (equally weird) of the Force pulling Luke out of his timeline so that he can tell Shmi what the Force wants to tell her (bad pick-up lines and such, you know?). I like the idea of Luke being forced to be the Force’s wingman. I think it’s very funny.

Excerpt:

“Who are you?” Shmi asked.

“I’m Luke,” he replied easily, smiling.

“I’m Shmi,” she told him in return.

“I know,” he said. Not arrogant or rude, merely a statement. “Something told me that your name is Shmi. It’s nice to meet you.”

14. Reluctant 23yo Emperor Luke Skywalker

Okay. Okay. Okay, look…

Someone said that Vader asking Luke to kill Palpatine with him so they can rule the galaxy as father and son was actually Vader saying “Luke. If we kill Palpatine, you can be Emperor” because Vader doesn’t actually want to have power? And, even Anakin never really wanted power. Vader and Anakin just kind of both want to hang out doing stuff. They don’t mind having power, but they don’t seek it out, y’know? So, if Luke had accepted Vader’s proposal on Bespin, really Luke would’ve been setting himself up to be Emperor.

I think. That this. Concept. Has the potential. To be. Quite funny. And I know angst is fun too, but comedy calls my name, comedy is mine mistress, I was built this way, the Force wills it, whatever, I wanted to write lighthearted Emperor of the Known Universe Luke and Guard-Dad Vader!

So, I did :)

Excerpt:

Luke’s eyes were luminous, the inhuman qualify worsened by the Force trying to balance out the lightning still surging through him, the Dark and Light clashing within him. With Vader by his side, standing behind the throne, and Palpatine dead at his feet, Luke looked like what one would imagine a coldhearted, all-powerful, intergalactic, ultimate ruler of all the known universe should look like.

Luke took a moment, then spoke.

“Who’s in charge now?”

Everyone dropped to a knee before him and swore themselves to his service, desperate not to meet the same fate Palpatine had. Luke blinked in surprise.

“Father?” he mumbled.

“You were the one who sat in the throne,” Vader replied, unreasonably pleased to see Padme’s flesh and blood relation finally where they should be: sitting in the position of ultimate power. It was even better than he’d imagined.

“I didn’t think-“ Luke tried.

‘You never do,’ Ben sent to his mind.

Luke sighed, heavily, and slumped into the throne. He emptied the room with a flick of his hand. He scrubbed a hand over his face.

“This is going to be hard to explain to Leia,” he sighed.

15. Yeah I Have An AU Problem Don’t Remind Me

This was, originally, reluctant 5yo Emperor Luke. But, I got a bit too focused on the part where Vader finds Luke, so it turned into a long ramble of Vader finding Luke. Oops. It leads into 5yo Emperor Luke, which is a story idea I’ve mentioned before, but it’s mostly just intro.

Excerpt:

This kid just looked like Anakin.

No! The Force shouted. Vader! This kid is your son!

This kid was his what-?!

16. I Need Babysitter Ahsoka and Little Luke

This is just where I keep drabbles for the Stay-At-Home-Dad Anakin verse. As is:

17. My Kink Is Luke/Leia Innocently Causing Palpatine’s Downfall

And:

18. It’s My OC And I Can Do What I Want With It!

16 is drabbles focused on the misadventures of attempting to babysit Luke and/or Leia. 17 is specifically Luke and Leia being the twins from the Shining, basically, but only to Palpatine specifically. 18 is school drabbles. The vibe of all the stories is the same as the stories I already posted, so…

19. I Gaff But What If Luke Zoning In The Novel Is Force Possession?

Basically, if you’ve never read the novel, Luke goes into a trance-like state whenever he uses the Force and can’t usually remember anything he did while in that state (ie. blowing up the Death Star). So, what if he was possessed by the Force? That was the thought process,

Excerpt:

And he had found the small book on Force Possession, possession by the Force. Children who were too strong in the Force sometimes got overwhelmed and dissociated, so the Force took over for them. It went away with age and meditation, the child gaining understanding of and control over their own power.

It was an uncommon sight, in temples. More common in children raised outside of the Order, though most of the children raised outside of the Order admittedly weren’t quite powerful enough to exhibit signs. Anakin was the first case in a while. The only case that Obi-Wan ever heard of.

Until this point.

20. Nonsexual Inappropriate Use Of The Force

This is just fluffy nonsense of Anakin using the Force to make Obi-Wan go to bed, but Anakin does so only while unconscious and Obi-Wan is always in the middle of something when Anakin tugs him away.

Excerpt:

Cody had clearly assumed, at first, that Obi-Wan was trying to leave their conversation, which was about how often (if at all) the general was sleeping. He followed, but his words had soon trailed off. He continued following, but he wasn’t saying anything anymore. Obi-Wan just crossed his arms and waited for him to make a comment.

“Is this a kidnapping attempt?” Cody suggested, though he sounded amused.

“You aren’t funny,” Obi-Wan told him.

He floated past a few other clones in the corridor. They looked very confused to see the general sitting on air, apparently, and floating. Cody, helmetless, mouthed “weird Jedi” and the troops all nodded in understanding. Obi-Wan covered his face with his hand.

“I thought he would grow out of it,” he grumbled.

“Has Skywalker ever grown out of anything? Aside from clothes, obviously,” Cody said.

“How dare you,” Obi-Wan muttered. “Insubordination. In front of the Force and all of our troops. How could you?”

If by “all of our troops,” Obi-Wan meant the lone mouse droid that Anakin had snuck into his room, then he made a valid point. That mouse droid’s respect for Obi-Wan had obviously dropped a great deal. It would probably no longer follow him in battle. A shame.

“I can tell you’re thinking something rude,” Obi-Wan stated.

“How’s that?” Cody asked.

“I sense it through the Force,” Obi-Wan lied blithely.

21. Omg Accidental Marriage

You know when two characters get married, but only one of them knows? It’s that. That with Obi-Wan and Anakin. And that with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Because I can imagine Qui-Gon dropping down on one knee and proposing to his padawan just because he thinks it’s funny how embarrassed Obi-Wan gets. This is, like, platonic to romantic adjacent. I wrote it because making up random wedding customs and planets and people is fun to me.

Excerpt 1:

“I think there was a misunderstanding,” Obi-Wan offered weakly.

Mace Windu didn’t look impressed by the explanation. The rest of the Jedi High Council looked like they weren’t surprised. Yoda especially looked like he’d expected as much.

“The documents say you’ve married Anakin eight times,” Windu stated.

Obi-Wan thought it was very brave of himself to resist the urge to curl up on a ball on the floor and die.

“I don’t understand,” Anakin stated. “I don’t even remember getting married to Obi-Wan once, let alone eight times.”

“I didn’t think they would submit the paperwork,” Obi-Wan whispered, succumbing to the urge to bury his face behind his hands.

Excerpt 2:

“I’m requesting a new Master the second we get back,” Obi-Wan grumbled, bitterly eating pancakes and blushing everytime a passing patron congratulated him.

“As you should,” Qui-Gon said calmly. “It would be inappropriate to remain your Master, as we are engaged to be wed-“

Obi-Wan buried his face in his hands and screamed a little, even as Qui-Gon laughed at him.

22. Artoo Saves The Galaxy Because He’s Tired AU

Anakin… really likes Artoo. I made a joke, a while back, that Anakin never would’ve Fallen if he’d been allowed to carry Artoo around with him wherever he went, as he clearly wanted to do. So, this AU suggests that Artoo travels back in time to help Anakin. In the meantime, Artoo misses Luke (I like Luke and Artoo’s codependency, it soothes me), makes Anakin miss all of his meetings with Palpatine, helps Anakin connect intellectually with other Jedi Masters, and supports Anakin like a proud soccer mom. And, because I couldn’t let Artoo just miss Luke forever, I pulled Luke back in time as a reward (after a while). Anakin can have two cheerleaders, as a treat.

Excerpt:

Artoo was complaining. Artoo had been complaining for the last twenty minutes, ever since Anakin left his direct line of sight. Everyone was going a little bit crazy.

“Where’s Skywalker?“ Rex questioned.

“In a meeting with the chancellor,” someone answered.

Artoo, if anything, began complaining more. He rocked from side to side and kept running into their legs (very gently, as though he was trying to be a nuisance but didn’t want to hurt them, which was really very funny because they were all wearing armour) and screaming. Rex couldn’t stand any longer than thirty seconds of this before he gave up and commed Anakin.

“Skywalker, this is Rex, do you read me?” he grumbled, bypassing the regular comm line that was always turned off during Anakin’s meetings with the chancellor and instead using the emergency line.

“I read you,” Anakin responded immediately.

There was concern in his voice, which made Rex feel a bit guilty, but Artoo was completely silent now, just watching Rex expectantly. How did a droid emote? Rex would never know.

“What’s the emergency, Captain?” Anakin asked.

“It’s your astromech-“ Rex began.

“Artoo?“ Anakin exclaimed, panicking. “Where is he? What’s wrong? What happened? Is he okay? Give me a location, I’ll be there as soon as I can be, okay-“

“We’re just in the courtyard, Sir,” Rex stated. “Your R2 unit is down here. I think he wants to see you.”

“I’ll be there in ten seconds,” Anakin promised, despite being a good ten minutes away.

He got there in eight seconds, which was a truly astonishing feat. Especially since he’d accomplished this feat by opening the window of the chancellor’s several-storey high office and jumping out.

23. I Love Making My Beloveds Suffer (Humiliation Not Pain Whoops)

This is just Obi-Wan zoning out and jumping when Anakin touches him, I have no excuse or explanation, that’s all it is ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯

Excerpt:

The second his fingers brushed against Obi-Wan’s back, Obi-Wan jumped. Fully jumped. Anakin felt the tension in his muscles for a split second before Obi-Wan ducked away from him. He fumbled with the pad for a second before his grip was secure enough, and spun on his heel to face Anakin, his whole body tensed as though he was ready to fight.

24. Obi-Wan Can Get Attachment Towards Luke, As A Treat

You know how Obi-Wan carries a little baby through a desert for who knows how long? You know how he cradles the little baby? You know how he sees his best friend and brother in the little baby? You know how he was so protective over the only piece of Anakin he had left that he stayed on Tatooine for nearly twenty years? You know how he held a little baby in his arms and had to watch his friend die?

Obi-Wan deserves to be able to hold Luke more. To cuddle him. To pat his little head. To cry because Luke is perfect. And here we are.

Excerpt:

Luke’s weight was comforting as he travelled the desert. He kept making little snuffling noises. Obi-Wan had to stop every other hour to give him a new bottle. He fell asleep and still made a little suckling motion with his mouth. Obi-Wan felt the contentment of his dreams, the ease of the Force surrounding him, and he almost cried because Luke was having good dreams and they were about being fed.

25. People Keep Telling This Child That He’s Just Like His Dad

Yo, do you ever think about how fucked up it is that so many people compared Luke to his father? Like, I know they were talking about Anakin, not Vader, but still. Obi-Wan said this boy reminds him of the enforcer of a dictator, that’s a bit fucked, Obi-Wan. No wonder Luke is desperate for there to be some good left in Vader! Otherwise, he’s been inadvertently told by people his entire life that he reminds them of a person who killed children.

Excerpt:

Ever since Cloud City and Darth Vader, Leia had an uncanny ability to show up right as Luke was plotting an escape. Most of Luke’s escape plans involved jumping out the window. Leia had requested he be moved to a room with a window that couldn’t be opened. As though that would stop him.

26. Dunno If I Want This To Be Connected TBH

Originally, this was the conclusion to Luke’s pov of 25, but it feels too different in tone. It feels a bit weird to put it with that. So, instead, view this as:

There’s a scene, in the Phantom Menace, while Padme is talking to Palpatine. Palpatine tells her not to go back to Naboo, and she says “My fate will be no different than the fate of our people” and that line was so powerful!!! Like, this is a fourteen-year-old! A fourteen-year-old who tells Palpatine that she will go back to Naboo whether he wants her to or not, and her being so strong-willed and determined is part of why I really like Padme. Also, I just think the line is really cool.

And, the prequel trilogy made Padme mirror Luke a lot? At least, in both their relationships to Anakin. More specifically, their relationships to Vader. Vader loves both of them, but he’s so scared of losing the ones he loves that he holds on too tight. And, Padme’s dialogue directly mirrors Luke’s on more than one occasion. It’s fascinating to me, how much Padme mirrors Luke, what a choice, I kinda love it.

Anyway, in the way of Padme mirroring Luke, I thought to myself, “I want Luke to mirror Padme in one of my fave Padme scenes.” I had to change some of his dialogue, and the Emperor’s dialogue, from Return of the Jedi, but it sounds cool, go with it-

Excerpt:

“My fate will be no different than the fate of my friends.” Vader stared at Luke. This was…

This boy was Padme’s son.

27. I FEEL Things OkAY???

This is a story from Chewbacca’s perspective. Because, Chewbacca seems to get attached to Luke from the get-go. Why is Chewbacca so attached to him? I wanted to explore that, so I wrote it out. I just think that their friendship is neat 👉👈

Excerpt:

“I wish you would answer my questions,” Luke commented. “Ben told me he’d tell me when I’m older.”

28. God Can You IMAGINE DE-AGED SKYWALKERS???

This is a Din and Luke story. Not quite a DinLuke story, because I’m better at writing romance-adjacent than romance, but Din and Luke. And all I have written is a few paragraphs and the title

¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ but can you imagine tho???

Excerpt:

Skywalker was small.

Well.

Smaller.

29. Leia and Luke, What Horrors Will They Commit

This was supposed to be another collection of drabbles that turned into Luke and Leia both wondering if their similar in anyway, all while comforting each other. I think there should be more of them bonding as “just found out we’re siblings” siblings. And I like Han being awkward, so that’s thrown in there on top.

Excerpt:

“Do you think I’m like our mother at all?” Luke asked, so quietly that Leia almost couldn’t hear him.

30. Twins twins twins twins

This is just a short, “What if Luke and Leia sat down and talked, pre-sibling-reveal, and both felt something click when they met that had been missing their whole lives and they think that Obi-Wan would’ve told them, either of them, if they had a sibling, wouldn’t he have?”

Hint: he would not have.

Excerpt:

“Maybe our fathers knew each other,” Luke suggested, smiling. “For some reason, I feel like our parents were close.”

“I feel the same way,” Leia told him.

31. Oh No… Exploring Character’s Changing Circumstance… My One Weakness!

This is all about Luke getting used to his prosthetic. Then, Luke getting used to another prosthetic and damaged nerves from Force lightning (he was struck by it like five times, dude, there’s gotta be some damage there, somewhere). I made up a med droid for this story, one that is as comforting as it’s possible for a robot to be, so very comforting ;)

Excerpt:

Luke smiled, bright and beaming.

“What’s the worst that could happen?” he laughed. “It’s not like we’ll be lured into a trap by the Empire and have to fight our way out.”

The med droid whirred anxiously.

“That was very specific, Luke,” it said nervously. “Too specific. Are you going to be lured into a trap?”

“I just said that wouldn’t happen,” Luke offered.

The med droid was unconvinced.

32. Master Skywalker Is Weird

This is BobaDinLuke, with a heavier focus on BobaLuke, because I like BobaLuke a lot. And because it really seems like it’s just in anyone who is related to Jango Fett’s bloodline to be exasperated by Jedi. Boba deserves to have a Jedi to be longsuffering towards. As a treat :) With already established BobaDin on the side and a hint of jealousy when Luke talks fondly of someone else (anyone else)

Excerpt:

“Hello, Fett,” Skywalker greeted, absurdly pleasantly. “Lovely weather today, isn’t it?”

Boba glared at him. Skywalker had no right to be so calm while he was being ritualistically sacrificed.

33. Cat Brothers Are My Thing (Secretly)

I think that the Jedi are all big ol cats. Especially Obi-Wan. Especially Luke. But not Anakin. Anakin is a puppy dog.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to write Luke acting like a cat and, honestly? It was fun

Excerpt:

“I’m not any sort of cat, Han,” Luke says, patiently.

“You were sitting on the counter eating a love frog,” Han retorts.

“Well, yes,” Luke readily agrees. “Is that not how you eat frogs?”

34. BAMF Luke Is The True Luke

I wanted to write a character study. It turned into more of a character and universe study? Like, I dunno, how easy do you think it is to recognize the guy who blew up the Death Star? I think it isn’t that easy at all. But, on the other hand, I am face blind, so…

Also, this is another Din and Luke, but with extra Grogu, this time.

Excerpt:

He’s sitting in a crowded cantina, more or less just existing in a shadowy corner and looking as harmless as he can, when he feels a tug. Not a physical tug, but a tug through the Force, informing him that another Force user wants his attention. He looks around, because the only two people to have ever done this to him are Leia and Grogu, and he’s pretty sure Leia is several hundreds of lightyears away where she can’t judge his fashion choices.

35. Idk Vibes Man?

All I had in mind, going into this, was spooky house. It’s a spooky house temple thing and people can see ghosts. Even regular people can see ghosts. And, Anakin and Obi-Wan hang out with Luke.

Okay, I also just kinda wanted to mention Anakin being technically Grogu’s old classmate, it’s strange to me, sue me.

Excerpt:

“I wish you would use your Force-child abilities to help sweep instead of for murder,” Luke tells him.

Anakin wrinkles his nose.

36. “Skywalker” Insert Flashbacks

My brother told me that they retroactively added Rex into the original trilogy. That’s very fun, I think. “What was his first thought when he heard some call for Skywalker?” I thought. “What was his first thought when he realized Anakin had a son?” I thought. “How tired is Rex of chasing around Skywalkers?” I thought. And thus, this tiny fic was born.

Excerpt:

Immediately, Rex’s fist instinct was to panic. Had General Skywalker had a kid? There was no way this blond boy was a clone, he had too many differences to the original thing. Who had General Skywalker had a kid with? Okay, dumb question, there were maybe two people in all of the galaxy that Anakin Skywalker would’ve ever agreed to fuck, and, of those two, only Senator Amidala was capable of giving birth.

37. Yes Time Travelling Twins For Tha Sake Of Comedy and Fine Clothes

This is a series of loosely connected drabbles, all focused on Luke and Leia teleporting back in time. But, specifically, I wanted Old Man Luke and Old Woman Leia, but I thought it would be funny if they were internally old, but externally just, like, twenty. (I wanted Old Man Luke to be a wise old Jedi Master who the other Jedi Masters look at with fear, okay, it’s something I enjoy a lot). The twins get transported back to Clone Wars era (I like Clone Wars era) after they die. Luke decides “Well, we might as well fuck around” so they just hang out.

I wrote quite a few of them, actually, these short drabbles, but I especially enjoyed writing the traditional Jedi Masters interacting with the very strange Jedi Master that Luke is. He breaks all of their rules by existing. He breaks more rules as he continues living. He is a powerful Jedi Master and, in my heart of hearts, Luke moved a black hole. So, you know, Old Man Luke and traditional Jedi Masters. My fave.

Excerpt 1:

“Why are you coming in through the window?” Leia questioned.

“If anyone should be asking questions, it should be me,” Obi-Wan retorted, climbing the rest of the way in and softly closing the window behind him. “Who are you? What are you doing in my room?”

“Difficult to ascertain,” Luke murmured.

“You’re Jedi,” Obi-Wan sighed, seemingly relieved.

“So they really do speak in riddles,” Leia said. “And here I thought you were kidding.”

“Only a child kids,” Luke states, somehow making the dumbest statement alive sound ominous and threatening.

Excerpt 2:

“Anakin, please,” Obi-Wan murmured weakly. “I’ve told you to quit it with these closet jokes. I came out ages ago.”

Luke opened his eyes just to roll them. Leia patted his shoulder, also disgusted by Obi-Wan’s panic response being to make double-entendres.

Excerpt 3:

“I hate it when he does that,” Windu grumbled.

“He has seniority,” Obi-Wan commented.

“Stop taking his side,” Windu ordered.

Obi-Wan made no promises.

If there are any fics that stick out or interest you, please don’t hesitate to tell me, I’d love to expand upon them.
