Summary
“No,” Vader says, “I am your father.”
Every bit of the pain, the terror, and the rage that have been flooding Luke’s senses is completely drowned out by utter confusion. What, he thinks, the fuck.
Then, a sinking feeling completely overtakes him. The Force is telling him the truth of Vader’s words— he can feel them resonating, falling along invisible threads and weaving their way through his being— but there’s something not quite right about them. Vader is his father, at least technically, but there’s something he’s missing, something that he—
Oh shit, Luke thinks, Vader is my dad’s ex-husband.

Summary
Zoraya Naelgrath is gearing up to start her own legal practice when a call from her past unexpectedly places her in the offices of Astarion Ancunin, a young magistrate known for his racial prejudice and various sex scandals that have made him the laughing stock of his colleagues. Tasked with preventing his dooming expulsion from office, Zoraya has no choice but to face the man who was once her best friend in the entire world, as well as her childhood crush. A crush that is, of course, ancient history now that Astarion is a perpetually hungover, selfish bastard interested in little else than cementing his standing among the elite of Baldur’s Gate – most notably Lord Cazador Szarr, an enigmatic nobleman with pale skin and an unsettlingly keen interest in Astarion.
"Beauty and the Beast" meets "Suits"
Or: What if Magistrarion had a badass half Gur childhood bestie who's definitely not in love with him and starts working for him right as a certain pale-faced, red-eyed nobleman gets ready to make his move?

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.

Summary
“Fuck you,” Leia says. “Who said anything about getting married? Did Luke say anything about getting married?”
“Luke is not involved,” Luke says, not looking up.
“Hey, Luke is not involved,” Han says, pointing at her. She’s going to bite his finger off, then they’ll see how much pointing he can do with it. “This is about you and me, princess.”
“There’s not going to be a you and me,” Leia says. “I’m going to have this baby with C-3PO.”
C-3PO says, “Madam,” tremulous.

This is exactly what’s missing from Zahn’s books.

Summary
“Oh—er, yes—an ink stain, just there,” she lied. He looked skeptical, as if he didn’t quite believe her.
His eyes stayed locked on hers as he licked his thumb and wiped the spot. “Did I get it?”
She glanced back at his neck, slightly red where he’d rubbed it, but otherwise flawless. “Um. Yes. All good now.” He tilted his head slightly and looked at her appraisingly. She mumbled something about having forgotten a file and retreated to her own room, face burning. She splashed cold water on her face, pulled herself together, and returned to his room with her professional pants on, ready to settle in for an evening of serious work and not lusting over her coworker.
