“What do you need from me?”

She gave him a gentle, relieved smile. “The last thing I want is to put you in an awkward position. If there’s someone else?”

“There’s not.” The words spilled out of his mouth too quickly. He ought to have held back and pretended to consider, but he didn’t want to lie to her. The closest thing he had to someone else was the same man Leia spent the rest of her time arguing with, but if Han was tight-lipped about how he might feel about Leia, he was as silent as cold space about reciprocating anything Luke felt. Han was about actions: swooping in to save Luke’s butt, or embracing him like the missing part of his soul. His words were all sarcasm and distance, never opening himself up in case he got hurt, and Luke had learned to live with that.

Leia’s eyes took him in for a long moment. He wondered if Leia saw the words he didn’t say. Then she nodded, to him or to herself.

Adult, canon-divergence. Leia and Luke get engaged for morale purposes. Lovely Luke POV.

With Practice, by ambiguously – Star Wars Original Trilogy [Archive of Our Own]

What Han wanted to do now was grab him by the shoulders and shake him. What he needed to do was break through Luke’s hard-earned Jedi calm and demand what he actually thought, what he really felt. As much as Luke had loved Leia, her choice had become crystal clear by circumstances set into play before they were born. As much as Han and Leia both loved Luke, the wall was built between him and them forever. What Han ached to do was pull him close and kiss him and act like none of this mattered as much as what he felt for Luke and what Leia felt for him just as fervently, like they could work past anything including the accident of the twins’ birth

Adult. After finding out that their twins, Luke pulls away. Han doesn’t like it one bit. This is the perfect post-trilogy OT3 fic.

Later he would try to remember exactly what happened that afternoon, after he promised Qui-Gon absolute forgiveness. He should have memorized every detail about that moment, because it was the passage of one life into another, a banquet after long fasting, the satiation of a hunger he had not recognized, before.

This fic straddles the uncomfortable line that’s unavoidable in a realistic depiction of a relationship between teacher and student, yet it somehow manages to be incredibly readable and touching.

A Second Heart, by LuvEwan – Star Wars – All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Qui-Gon is not worried for him exactly—Obi-Wan has been ready for a long time, at least two years before the Naboo mission—but he cannot shake the idea that Obi-Wan should be with him.

He has lost so much, even in surviving. The medics on Naboo have taken his heart and the Council have taken his Padawan.

A lovely post-TPM what-if, in which Qui-Gon survives but feels changed…

“You’re going to blow our cover,” Obi-Wan whispers against his ear, his voice harsh to pierce through the thump, thump, thump of the music.

Qui-Gon merely raises his eyebrow in response. The bass is far too loud, and he is far, far too old for this.

“You’re stiff as a protocol droid, for fuck’s sake. Move,” Obi-Wan hisses, his breath hot and reminiscent of chadian rum.

Undercover in a gay club trope. This makes their coming together feel unavoidable, two bodies crashing together. But of course it’s not just bodies, therefore there’s a bittersweet edge to the entire scorching hot encounter.

To Spare You, by Firondoiel – Star Wars – All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Qui-Gon remembered the cups they had been offered by the priest upon arrival. One for him, one for Obi-Wan.

“Your priest has poisoned my apprentice?”

“Poisoned? No! Never. It is a symbol. A symbol to our deity that we have found a worthy gift for it to claim.”

“How does your deity claim this gift?”

“Oh, it calls to the anointed. It joins their energy to its own. It is a blessing to be so worthy.”

Probably the best use of the virgin sacrifice/fuck or die trope I’ve ever read.

Qui-Gon survives. Obi-Wan is knighted. Busy with solo missions, he slowly realises something about his feelings for his former Master.

Apogee, by randomalia (spilinski) – Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace [Archive of Our Own] | https://archiveofourown.org/

The Code is the tool he reaches for, steady and heavy and secure. A Jedi shall not know love.

He realises, now, the careful crafting in the words that escaped him as a child. Shall not.

Perhaps those that made it knew they would be creating a lie in writing ‘will not.’

This is a perfect gem of angst; forbidden love unavoidable in its intensity as Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon come together in the dark of night.

Litanies, by Tohje – Star Wars Prequel Trilogy [Archive of Our Own]

He has a list of things the Code asks him not to keep.

He doesn’t keep the things themselves, of course. He would never harm his master, or his master’s reputation like that. Others – younger ones – look to him, a padawan to imitate.

He keeps the memories of them, those moments. A trained Jedi knows many mnemonics.

He takes them out sometimes, only sometimes, examines them from every angle, reaches for detachment. Who knows, he might even achieve it one day.

Pining, so much pining; this is a gorgeous and poetic glimpse into Obi-Wan’s soul, as well as achingly sensual when Qui-Gon unavoidably catches on.

Fall Back Together – Chapter 1, by DarkIsRising – Star Wars – All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

Expecting the worst has seldom left him underprepared for weathering the whims of fate. Still he is shocked when he looks up to find a tall man with long hair, a mouth that gives nothing away, and eyes that dance to see him.

Obi-Wan runs into his former Master – delicious smut and feelings happen.
