Civil Wars, Whistleblower Tactics, Schematic Drafting, And The Finer Points Of Sith Adoption: The Essential How-To Guide For The Engineering Jedi by Jackdaw_Kraai
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
28 Jul 2024
Summary
When Luke Skywalker—operating under the name of Luke Lars—accepts a job offer from none other than Darth Vader to become the next Head Engineer aboard his flagship, The Executor, a.k.a. The Lady, he hardly expected his life to take as much of a turn as it did.
Learning how to navigate his way through the microcosm of culture that is the Lady, Luke finds that life is far from quiet in his new home. Friendships and rivalries are made, inventions and politics throw everything into disarray, and throughout it all, Luke and Vader slowly find themselves drawn closer to each other, much to the relief and awe of many of the Lady's crewmembers.
Follow our favorite engineer from the twin suns as he goes from strangers, to friends, to adoptive family with his mysterious new mentor, and changes the face of the galaxy forever in the process. There are mysteries about the past to be unraveled, inventions to be made, wars to be fought, and family bonds to be forged in the fires of revolution and rebellion.
They say that Darth Vader has no heart, that the Empire and its Emperor are eternal, that the Jedi are dead and gone, and that nothing will ever change.
"They" have obviously never met Luke Skywalker before.

Summary
"Well, looks like we're all Sith Lords, now. I hope you've all been practicing your most menacing laughter for our first run in with the Jedi Council."
Ben could only sigh and raise a distasteful eyebrow at the cross shaped, red lightsaber he was given. Down the line other students were also handling their new weapons and robes with a raised eyebrow here and quizzical expression there.
"Really, uncle?"
"Really. I don't want to compete with the local Jedi population."
Why did Jedi politics and time travel have to be so difficult?

Chasing Dragons by The_Sinking_Ship for Ladderofyears
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.
But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.
Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

Summary
“About last night,” Shacklebolt said. “When we arrived on the scene, we obtained a detailed statement from each of our two witnesses about what had occurred. They both gave a rather interesting description of our trespasser.”
“Oh? Anything useful?” James asked with mild interest.
“Yes, actually. Oddly enough, both our witnesses mistook him for the same person.”
“Who?”
“You.”

Summary
Harry finds himself in a parallel universe travelling into the body of his counterpart, who happens to be the daughter of notorious gangster, James Potter. James is embroiled in a long-standing feud with rival mobster Tom Riddle, and in a bid to end the conflict, they agree that Harry and Tom will marry. This arrangement serves as a guarantee for peace between the two families.
Having spent years as a battle-hardened war commander in his own universe, Harry is now adjusting to the unfamiliar life of a young woman in 1954. He is indifferent towards Tom Riddle and views the prospect of marrying him as nothing more than a bizarre and amusing inconvenience. On the other hand, Tom Riddle is confused by the insane behaviour of his supposedly demure wife. -

Summary
Jake responded with a full body laugh, and, like they had done this a million times before, the two of them gravitated into a quick hug. He could see the astonished stare of Javy behind Jake, could sense that Phoenix was giving the same astonished stare behind him. And why shouldn’t they? For years, they had fought like children on a playground, pushing and shoving and yelling, never letting anyone get a word in otherwise. But now, now they were hugging and laughing like they’d been friends for years and even Bradley didn’t know where the animosity had gone.
Or a time loop AU in which Bradley and Jake have spent years and years falling in love, but neither of them can remember.

Tom's Turn to Time Travel by RabidPlotBunniesAttackkkk for My dad who always supports me

Summary
“I think …” Tom breaks the silence. “… that if you’re half as good as the rumors seem to say you are — you can be my wingman anytime.”
The gratitude on Goose’s face is as heartbreaking as the surprise and hidden distrust on Maverick’s. Looks like he’ll still have to work to convince Maverick, at least.
A cocky grin spreads over Maverick’s face as he pushes down all his insecurities and puts down the great big stick on his shoulder for a minute. “Bullshit — you can be mine.”
I've written a story before where Maverick is thrown back into the past and is able to save Goose and have a happy ending. I decided I wanted Tom to be put in a similar scenario, and thus this story came about. I'm still working the ending, but I'm enjoying the journey while I do so.
NOW COMPLETE!!!

"How long have you two been doing this routine?"
“We’ve only done this twice.”
“How’d you do?”
“Crashed and burned on the first.”

“Mav,” Goose says, hiccuping through another sip of beer, “let’s play a game.”
Maverick raises an eyebrow, throwing back another shot that Cougar hands him, not even grimacing at the sharp taste of what he thinks is Vodka. He was never really a liquor guy, but today’s a special day and they’re celebrating, so why the hell not.
or--
An answer to the question of how Maverick crashed and burned the first time he ever tried to serenade someone.

Maverick's on his second whiskey when Kazansky appears beside him, the very picture of good manners and sin. If he had more energy, Maverick thinks he’d hate him for it, or maybe just give into the urge to suck him off in a bathroom stall.
“Hello Maverick.”
"Iceman."
They drink in companionable silence for the next quarter hour until—
"So what do you have against soulmates?"
Or—
It isn’t the size of the soulmark that matters, but that doesn’t mean Maverick isn’t still obnoxiously smug about his. -

Summary
Jake knows what policies there are in place to avoid familial conflict of interest, he's lived it for years. He knows how sacred those policies are to keeping his family sane.

Now he just needed to make sure they all made it home in one piece.
Or
Jake is a Kazansky just as much as Bradley is a Mitchell, and Mav never pulled Bradley's papers. Now, the close-knit but under the radar family all must work together for the first time during the Uranium Plant mission and keep their relationships to each other under wraps while trying to make sure everyone survives this suicide mission.

Summary
Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.
But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.
As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.
