Summary
One night, one day, one life; by these things you can change a whole galaxy.
(Sometimes you just need to take a sledgehammer to a broken man's view of it first.)
Alternately;
When Luke is six, the Lars family helps a runaway slave, and gain a lot more in the bargain. By the time he's fourteen, they're taking their business into space.
... They also kind of kidnap Darth Vader?

Summary
This is the story of how to treat crack seriously, taking into account the level of technology the Star Wars galaxy actually has, and removing the heteronormativity inherent in the assumption of how "no, I am your father" may be taken.
There are no kidnappings here, technical or otherwise; this is a hostile takeover and Luke is taking no hostages as he gambles with a few things. At least he has the support of an additional viewpoint, someone definitely on his side who can offer some extra insight before he throws himself to the wolves.

Where Our Intrepid Hero Doesn't Get Away by sparklight
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
05 May 2018
Tags
Summary
One-shots surrounding either AU situations of canon/legends works where Luke would normally have gotten away (or Vader is simply inserted into the action to come pick his child up) but in these instances doesn't, or completely new scenarios of the same. Any time an AU is mentioned to be based on a comics issue it's from the new Marvel Star Wars comics (2015) (unless otherwise noted).
There are no deep ruminations on consequences of the situations here, just our awful Sith dad picking his son up when he'd rather not be.
Series

Summary

Now what?
A lot of drama, adventure, shenanigans, and awkward father-son bonding while we wind ourselves towards Operation Skyhook, is what.

Summary
Exactly what it sounds like; written on a whim, it's supposed to be an in-universe piece of academia about slavery on Tatooine, from a cultural and linguistic standpoint. I, however, have no academic education or higher education knowledge about something like this, so.

The Unconquered Sun by sparklight

Summary
The gang needs to rescue Han and Luke needs a new lightsaber.
On top of that, thanks to his adventure with his father on the moon, Luke is determined to do something about his father and his father's situation. But he'll need a lightsaber first, and where better to start figure things out than Tatooine (since he's already here for Han)? Ben's hut is here, after all... But, after meditating at his family's graves, Ben's hut turns into nothing more than a pit stop, and it's not just his father who notices the waves created by the call Luke answers.
Tatooine is old, and she is bright, reflecting more than a little light; this wasn't at all what Palpatine had Seen.
Series

Summary
On the approach to the rebel base on Yavin IV, Luke sees something he's never seen before, and Han plays witness.
And also indulges the kid a little. Maybe.
Series

Tags
Summary
Luke's visit to Nar Shaddaa doesn't go at all as he thought it would, and given his family's history, he doesn't take it very well. He refuses to just lay down and accept it, though.
This follows the current arc in Marvel's Star Wars comics (#8-11), and Luke's brush with slavery.

Tags
Summary
After leaving the Sith complex, the moon and the Executor behind thanks to being let go, Luke takes a detour to Dagobah before going back to the Alliance fleet to debrief about the mess of a mission that got him stuck on the moon in the first case. It goes... so-so.
(A variation of the RotJ Dagobah scene happening months earlier than in canon, for reasons.)

Summary
You know that time when you end up having an unintended and unwanted training session with your father, but neither of you learn what you are technically supposed to? No? This is that time.
Or, otherwise; Luke gets stuck on a moon due to a mission gone awry, his father comes calling and then an ancient Sith complex activates. It's one of those days.

Shortly after her nineteenth birthday, Leia starts having a nightmare that changes very little through the years and stays with her for a very long time. But she doesn't need to deal with it all alone, not even in the beginning.
-
Tags
Summary
Nominally about why Vader takes Leia to the Death Star instead of interrogating her on the Devastator, actually about how Palpatine lends out his apprentice at the drop of a hat (or a super laser, in this case).
