Summary:

Luke is left reeling after nearly dying by his own father's blade. His pride is wounded, his dreams are shattered, his friend is frozen in carbonite. The only bright spot in these bleak days is one Lando Calrissian, whose easy charm and comforting presence do a lot to ease Luke's mind.

Unbeknownst to Luke, there's more good news waiting, though this particular bit of joy will make certain things a great deal more complicated…

 

Lando paused. "So, if you'll forgive the vain questions, what are the similarities?"

Luke smiled, thinking of his first friend. "Well, let's see. You both have enough charisma to sell sand to a Jawa. Flirt as naturally as breathing." Luke reached over, laid a hand on Lando's jaw and ran his thumb across Lando's mustache, skin brushing over Lando's lips as it went. The sensation stayed long after Luke dropped his hand and said, "He even had the same mustache and fondness for capes."

Lando, still lost in the sensation, took a minute to say, "Well, it certainly sounds like you have a type."
 

This is amazing and I love it. Luke and Lando's characters are so perfectly explored, the yearning is so deep and so heartfelt.

"A droid vid" by colls. (Star Wars - All Media Types)

Combining both the vids and returned to often prompts, I was reminded of this vid by someone not long ago. And especially now that I've seen S7 of Clone Wars I think it could use an update for our brave droids. I say "update" even though the vid only came out in January!

Nonetheless I love this and have rewatched several times because what would we do without them and what kind of story would that be?
yourlibrarian: MerlinArthurCorner-salina87 (MERL-MerlinArthurCorner-salina87)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian

  1. Eclipse by SpellCleaver. "Luke and Leia, the twin children of Darth Vader and heirs to the Emperor himself, defect. When they do, it's naturally a dream come true for the Rebellion and the mother they never knew, one that's been a long time in the making." An epic length story with many a character appearance. What I particularly loved about this was that it's a gen story with an intense relationship between siblings rather than a romantic one.

  2. A late-night Welcome Home. by SleepyKalena. Fanart for Rogue One: "For context, this was a play on the Japanese dub of the Welcome Home scene. Jyn tells Cassian, "I'm always all alone when things go bad, so this feels strange." Cassian responds with "You'll get used to it soon," implying that he'll keep being there for her when things go bad, and that it won't be long until the feeling stops being foreign to her.".

  3. John Watson || Soldier by OneAllysa. I am not generally fond of dialogue in vids but this one uses the bits quite effectively to portray Sherlock's partner as the complicated individual he is, and not always a nice guy either. I like how it also reveals how it's sometimes John who establishes what will happen and how he is not always the caretaker.

  4. Art: Hope is the thing with feathers by
    LFB72. A series of works for this Merlin wingfic. Aside from the striking animated Merlin, there are various beautiful watercolour images including Morgana, Aithusa, and a final close up of Merlin and Arthur, bare chested and winged.

  5. for we are a woven thread; find the strand
    by shadowsong26. "The night before Obi-Wan was to leave for Utapau, he and Anakin and Padme agreed that, regardless of the Council's orders, Anakin should go as well. They split up over the course of the battle--and when Order 66 is given, they cannot find one another in the chaos; Padme, on Coruscant, is left with the knowledge that neither of them is coming back." It's rather amusing that a threesome pairing spends the entirety of the story separated until the end. But it's an enjoyable read about three people getting on with things, finding support among others, and then having their continued purpose bring their threads together once again.

yourlibrarian: Bow to Queen Gwen (MERL-BowtoGwen - timetobegin.png)
[personal profile] yourlibrarian

  1. How Arthur Got His Groove Back by thegeminisage. The premise alone of this story was enough to make this Merlin tale stand out, with magic returning to Camelot by way of a curse giving everyone magical powers. But that was just the start. Readers also got a number of fixits along the way, starting with a believable shift in Morgana. Enjoyable and character centered.

  2. Killing Eve tarot cards by Low Cultured. Riveting fanart of Eve and Villanelle.

  3. Good Omens papercraft by noordze. Delightful look at our two heroes, along with photos of the process.

  4. Legacy by myrlendi (thehistorygeek). "Three months after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker goes in search of a rumoured Jedi temple in a secluded part of the Mid Rim. He finds within the temple nothing but a strange artifact, which unexpectedly brings him much closer to the Jedi of old than he ever thought he would be." What I liked about this time travel story is the way the relationship between Luke and Leia develops, as well as Leia's with Anakin.

  5. kingsman(MerlinAU) fanart by nancymerthurslover. Stunning fanart of the Merlin cast in a Kingsman fusion.
