Star Wars Fan Fic Recs - Force Awakens & Rogue One
Force-Sensitive Finn:
To Fight Giants by MaurauderCracker - All stormtroopers have a family and a past. Reconditioning takes those memories away.
Poignant and hopeful. It's probably unintentional, but I like the subtle parrallel between Finn and his grandmother, who were both raised by impersonal institutions as warriors.
(Gen, complete, one-shot)
The blue man by dimtraces - Late one night, FN-2187 sees a blue man walking through the dormitory.
A nine-part series about Anakin's ghost mentoring a young Finn who's the only person that can see him.
The Bends by kay_cricketed - Finn dreams in his coma.
A surreal trip through past and present toward a realisation.
(Gen, complete, one-shot)
Three by whiteraven - Poe seems to be sharing Finn's dreams. He's not the only one.
A fourteen-part series following up Force Awakens, with a focus on Stormtrooper rebellion. The first few are great, the later ones drag out some, but still good.
(OT3)
Miscellaneous:
tomorrow (there'll be more of us) by dimircharmer - The resistance is starting to get stormtrooper defectors. Finn helps them out.
An amazing story about freedom and the power of hope.
(OT3, Complete)
Have you heard by peradi - I heard FN-2187 was a stormtrooper.
Finn inspires a revolution. A story told in moments.
(OT3, Complete)
Jacket Droid Lightsaber by imaginary_golux - Your soulmate leaves a mark at your first meeting. Poe runs into two soulmates within days of each other.
The only soulmark fic in Star Wars fandom I've ever enjoyed. (Sorry everyone else!)
(OT3, Complete, one-shot)
Story of Tonight by StanleyQuinn - Poe goes to Leia for some advise regarding his partners.
An unpleasantly sound theory about the effect of Finn and Rey's respective backgrounds on sexuality.
(OT3, Complete, one-shot)
Rogue One:
Composing Hallelujah by MirandaTam - In a world where Shmi Skywalker survived and was a Jedi, her presence alters the events of Rogue One.
A great one-shot based on the writer's wider "Jedi Shmi AU", but you don't need to read that to understand. More intriguing for what it hints at than what it reveals. Also includes a force-sensitive Jyn Erso.
