She probably shouldn’t trust the wish-granting Sith artefact. (In which Ahsoka makes a brave attempt at hugging the Dark Side out of Anakin) SO MUCH HUGGING. IT'S SO GREAT. Ahem. Ahsoka gets sent back in time by a Sith artefact she finds on Malachor, and gets a chance to see Anakin and Obi-Wan again.

padme, leia, rey - bitches get shit done.

Delightfully fluffy Zimbits. they're actually great at boats.

Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka get de-aged and Rex has to deal with them. This is adorable with just the right touch of melancholy.

This is pretty hilarious right up until it isn't. It swerves away from what it appears to be doing, but since that swerve ends in a necessary bit of Anakin & Obi-Wan reconciliation, I'm good. *g*

The crew throws Jaylah a party before they leave and she starts at the Academy. *sniffle* Oh my heart.

After the end of the movie, the Ghostbusters deal with even MORE complicated problems: setting up their business. Hee!

ADORABLE

Adorable Patty/Holtzmann.

Achingly lovely slow burn for Steve and Bucky.

The Resistance underestimates Finn, so he ends up proving his competence in a little friendly competition. Oh Finn.

In which Peter Pettigrew has a very bad day, and everybody learns not to fuck with Minerva McGonagall.

Your father and I couldn’t sit by and do nothing, Poe’s mother had told him all those years ago. Couldn’t sit by and do nothing. People said that Poe was brave, that he was a good man, but all he was doing was trying to be the man his mother would have wanted him to be, a man she could be proud of. She had loved him so much that she risked everything to make the galaxy he would grow up in a safer place. Not only for him, but for all the children who had yet to be born. He loved her enough to honor her memory. Poe and his mom and flying. Have tissues handy.

Really lovely AU in which Harry is trans, which changes things in small but notable ways.

She could tell Dameron to light himself on fire and he'd say absolutely, General, happy to help! Of course she tried not to, but if he kept insisting on volunteering for missions without bothering to find out the parameters first, well. Maybe he deserved what he got. Poe would do anything for the General. This is hilariously perfect.

Post-Jason Bourne fix-it for Nicky. (NB: I haven't seen the movie because of the spoiler about Nicky but this worked fine for me.)

Delightful backstory for Sophara.

Jack's coming out is too subtle for the media so he has to step up his game. Hee! This is very sweet.

Three times Suzanne dropped Bitty off at Samwell. Oh heart.

Two long, involving stories where Obi-Wan goes back in time at the moment of his death to nine years before the events of TPM; he makes his peace with Qui-Gon, mentors his younger self, and manages to start changing the timeline, hopefully for the better. And it gives excellent Obi-Wan in twice the usual amount! (The series is incomplete - the author says there'll be a third story - but the two extant stories are complete and there's no real cliffhanger at the end.)

The Barry/Iris/Eddie story of my heart!

Bail and Breha raise their daughter. *sobs* This is a really lovely look at Leia growing up.

Quiet, meditative story in which Patty has to come to terms with the damage ghostbusting causes to historic buildings, and Holtzmann has to come to terms with Patty. Lovely.

Darling little slice of life story with Prunella and Zacharias.

Santiago tries to explain fanfiction to Diaz. This is sweet and Holt's cameo puts it over the top into hilarious.

"You don’t have to," Poe would protest. "I can feed myself," Rey would insist. Finn only rolled his eyes and got on with it. He didn’t tell them about growing up eating the same routine meals, how the others would smuggle each other the best items as tokens of affection. He didn’t tell them that bread became a language of love. Rey and Finn take up gardening, much to the delight of the Resistance. Oh heart.

Lovely story of Aravis's journey away from and then back to Lasaraleen.

Cor and Aravis have to convince the rest of Archenland that they're fit rulers for the country. Ah, lovely. ♥ARAVIS♥

Really lovely modern AU where Satine is the British Ambassador to the US, Obi-Wan is a war correspondent and also they are in a relationship with Bail Organa; I admit to being skeptical of that going in, but the whole thing works really well. (also, ♥AHSOKA♥)

Jaylah, Uhura and language. Lovely.
