Summary
It has been almost a decade since former Jedi Investigator Harry Du Bois woke up on a dirty floor with amnesia, met Detective Kitsuragi, rediscovered how to be a Jedi, got sober, and saved the Princess of Alderaan from kidnapping (not necessarily in that order).
Unfortunately, the Empire has not stood still and while Harry has gotten better the Galaxy has gotten much, much worse.
(or, AU where Obi-Wan refused to leave Tatooine to rescue Leia during Kenobi and the task fell to a reliable Alderaani detective and the only other Jedi whose number Bail had)

Summary
Behind them, tires ease into the gravel on the edge of the road. Steve doesn’t bother looking. A car door slams, and then Munson says, “I don’t need you to stand up for me, Harrington.”
Steve still doesn’t look at him. He swears he sees shadows moving in the thick brush, and he shivers a little. He says, “What, with Byers? He’s just scared for his brother.”
“Yeah, I know that, dickweed.”
“Wow,” Robin says, voice low. “You were into that?”
Steve tilts his head, finally looks past where Robin is standing to see Munson, hair pulled back in a messy bun, denim vest shrugged on over the leather, ripped jeans baggy in all the wrong places, face flushed and scowling. “Unfortunately,” he says.
The package is a little different, but Steve knows deep down he’s the same protective, loyal, judgmental asshole he’s always been. It’s just, once upon a time, Steve was on the beneficial side of his personality disorder.
Or-
A modern season one AU with Robin and Eddie.

Summary
Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?
Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.
Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.

Summary
Later, Leia will remember the going back to the farm with Ben—the wide sky, the late summer sun’s glare off the sands, the air drying her lips out, peeling and cracking. She’ll think: that was the last time I could breathe. She’ll think: that was the only time I ever knew how.
