Summary
In 1942, the the Allied base on the Island of Malta was the object of more Italian and German air raids than anywhere else in the world. Food, water, munitions and men were growing dangerously scarce. Supply convoys dispatched from the mainland had been repeatedly thwarted by Axis naval forces in the waters of the Mediterranean. Raids by the Luftwaffe were an almost daily reality, and those who survived them faced the very real threat of starvation.

Summary
The latest rumor to hit Echo Base: Solo and the Princess are not only together, but actually ran off and got married during their latest mission. When Leia and Han return and confirm the rumor is true, everyone is shocked, from High Command to their best friends (who are both a little put out not to have been invited to the wedding). But there's more to this marriage than meets the eye--and more truth in Leia and Han's vows than either of them are ready to admit to themselves.

Summary
[“There's no water, on Tatooine,” Luke said finally. “I mean, no large bodies of water, like you have on other planets. Pools, lakes. Oceans.”
“Well, yeah,” Han said, eyebrow raised at the sudden change of subject, tone still sharper than he meant for it to be. “Place is a dustball. So?”
The kid still wouldn't look at him.
“So,” he said, face carefully blank, like it so often was these days, “I never learned how to swim.”]
Han has a hard time coming to terms with Luke's fall to the dark side during Dark Empire; so does Luke.

Summary
Following the battle of Endor, the Alliance to Restore the Republic took a single prisoner from the attack on the Death Star. Sequestered aboard a lone ship with a skeleton crew, that prisoner sits and waits for what fate will bring him, his very existence kept a closely guarded secret. Desperately trying to work out what to do with him, the Rebel leaders send a lone analyst to speak with him, to take a record of his side of the story. They want to be able to judge him when the time is right. But who exactly is it they would be judging? And why exactly did he help destroy the galaxy - and then help save it?
AU, following on from an alternate ending for Return of the Jedi.

A thought-provoking look at justice and mercy, exploring what being a changed person means in the case of legal enforcement of justice. Wonderful OCs! So. Many. Wonderful. OCs.

Summary
A new form of sorrow overtook her at the kindness in his gaze, the same kindness that won her over when she watched him court Celebrían. She recalled the pity she felt when she first met Gil-Galad’s quiet herald, his living kin relegated to a mortal life, his childhood shaped by her vengeful cousins. She’d forced herself to quash the emotion then, easier to suppress once their lives intertwined and she learned of a mirthful, mischievous streak that rivaled her own.
But now, beneath his care and concern she saw the eyes of the lonely, youthful elf she first met in Lindon, all his aged wisdom stripped away. Any comfort she might give him here would do little against his grief.

Names and Fates by Elsajeni

Summary
He's unfocused during the rest of the day's training, turning the name over in his mind. He's pretty certain he's never met anyone named Mara, but the name feels oddly familiar all the same, and he's trying to meditate but mostly racking his brain — a pilot in a different wing, maybe? A friend of a friend? A name he's caught in a Holonet broadcast, even? — when Yoda raps him on the shoulder with his cane and says sharply, "Distracted, you are."
Inspired by a tumblr post: your enemy’s name on one wrist and your soulmate on the other. no clue which is which. hope it’s not the same name on both wrists.
When the markings on Luke's wrists finally come in, one reads Mara. The other reads Jade.

Summary
“No, wait,” she said in a rush. “Drowning, huh? That’s your brilliant idea?”
She wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or unnerved that, as soon as she spoke those words, the killing urge inside her calmed.
Without missing a beat, Skywalker said, “Off the top of my head, that seems like the easiest death to bring someone back from.”
“Your life is literally going to be hanging in the balance here, and you’re giving me ideas off the top of your head?”
-------------
OR: When the events on Wayland fail to free Mara from the last command, Luke proposes a much more drastic solution.

Summary
A treasury of single-chapter fics that tickle our fancy, not always in chronological order, although dates will be indicated. These are the ideas that grow out of our nocturnal fandom discussions after the kids have gone to bed. Some are off-the-wall, some are quite serious. Some are both. Join us as we read through Star Wars Legends writing gapfiller all the way. Shameless (but non-explicit) fan service for the perfectionships that are Han/Leia and Luke/Mara.
Chapter 47: The Breaking Point. Everyone has his limit. Luke Skywalker is afraid he might have found his. (Our final gapfiller for Legacy of the Force: Revelation by Karen Traviss.)
