Title: Faultlines
Characters: Mara Jade Skywalker, Vergere, Luke Skywalker
Setting: During Destiny's Way (NJO)
Warning: A fair amount of foreshadowing, if that counts
Author's Note: Regarding Vergere's characterisation -- I've stuck with Vergere's characterisation at this approximate stage of the series, so later LotF/FotJ revelations about her ( Read more... )

Title: "Heatsink"
Characters: Luke, Camie, other Tatooine inhabitants, Obi-Wan cameo
Setting: Two years pre-ANH through to the end of ROTJ
Word Count: ~8,000

Summary: Life's hard on Tatooine, and not everyone makes it out.

A/N: I've always felt poor Camie gets rather an unfair run as The Only Girl On Tatooine (TM). This is my attempt to explore ( Read more... )

Title: Blue Screen
Characters: Callista, Luke
Warnings: HOLY CRAP, this came out dark. Angst, depression, vague allusions to suicide. (The whole Callista arc is pretty dark on its own, really, even if it's mostly unintended.)

Summary: This is not happily ever after.

A/N: Not sure whether this will be posted anywhere else. *shifty eyes* It's a ( Read more... )

This ended up darker than I expected, but hey, Leia's due some angst. *Cue eyetwitch about certain scenes in ANH*

Title: “Words”
Characters: Leia, Luke, Han
Era: OT, post-ANH
Warnings: Alcohol, angstiness

Summary: Leia indulges in some overdue angst. And tact is not Luke's strongest asset.

Been meaning to post a review of this for a while but have recently read A Slight Trick of the Mind, by Mitch Cullen. It takes on the premise of Sherlock Holmes and who he was, both in the Doyle canon and as a literary figure, through an exploration of the life of a much older Holmes eking out his retirement in the wake of WWII on a rural farm in ( Read more... )

All my decent fic ideas lately seem to be set around LotF, which has lead me to give in and go back to the beginning (which, for LotF, I'm counting as the Dark Nest series) to try to get some concepts straight. Which in turn leads me to the overwhelming need to unburden myself as to some of the more problematic areas in the themes the DN/LotF arc ( Read more... )

If there's one thing that guaranteed to make me squirm, it's infantisation of adult characters in fic. Luke and Han friendship fics feature this all too often. If I read one more where Luke cries, whimpers, tells Han he's scared, or otherwise behaves with OOC levels of childlike neediness, I will... probably cringe and hit the back button. (Fear my ( Read more... )

Title: "Detention"
Characters: Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo
Setting: Yavin 4 praxeum
Timeframe: Somewhere around the YJK/JJK era... before NJO, anyway.

Summary: Because the praxeum must have some equivalent to being sent to the headmaster's office.

A/N: I've had a hankering to write Jacen ever since finishing Invincible a few months ago. Starting ( Read more... )

Title: "Presque Vu"
Rating: PG
Characters: Luke Skywalker, Threepio, others
Timeframe: A few years post-RotJ
Keywords: Luke, Jedi, introspection, character study, Tatooine

Presque vu: [F., nearly seen] a feeling that you are on the edge of grasping something very, very important.
