Leia is pregnant, and Han wants to marry her for reasons she doesn’t understand. (That’s not true, she understands them, she just thinks they’re idiotic.)
I love this one because it really nails the dynamics while being so goddamn funny. You get Han and Leia in all their snarky snarling determinedly-fond glory, with a lot of unhelpful asides from Luke (who has taken up residence in his sister’s office in Her Time of Need.) Plus, you get some EU backstory and one of the best Leia voices I’ve read, one that doesn’t shortchange or soften her.

I’m always a sucker for some good “Ben Organa’s nightmares” fic, and the image of ben born in the caul is so terrible and heartwrenching and perfect, I’d give anything to have come up with myself.

This is (agonizingly) a work in progress, but in five chapters it’s done a lot of extraordinarily beautiful character work—it’s got to be the best depiction of complicated traumatized touch-starved ex-”easy lay” smarter-than-he-wants-you-to-realize Poe Dameron I’ve read.
Plus, it delves into Academy-trained Poe and what that means and signifies in a way that feels very real and visceral. (Poe as career military isn’t talked about much in fics, so I love how this fleshes that out.)
……….if you’re in the mood for more excellent Poe, I also recommend ready for flight, by kvikindi.

Poe and Rey, being very gentle in the aftermath. (Featuring such immortal lines as “it’s the best rock he’s ever had, he’d fight and kill for this rock.” which in context is tender and endearing because Poe.)
oh I was so pumped to see fic recs because a) victories has such excellent command of language and surely must have good taste and b) I haven’t seen many fic rec collection posts and maybe I’m not reading the good-est stuff yay
but then I’M IN THIS ONE and I’m FLOORED by this. I never make it into rec posts, nobody ever wants to rec the enormously long WIPs.
I am bowled over by this and now I have to go read every single other one recc’d in here (some familiar names, I love how everyone’s in this fandom)– and you bet your buttons the chapter update won’t be late, not after this. (I’m stuck on a chapter title. Argh.)
