ysabetwordsmithToday is Star Wars Day. Here are some ways to celebrate.
Some favorite Star Wars fanfic...
"Gra’tua" Keira Marcos
Relationship(s): Din Djarin/Cara Dune, The Armorer/Paz Vizsla, OC/OC, Leia Organa/Han Solo
Word Count: 221,000
Summary: Din Djarin lost everything so slowly it was almost survivable. With a broken and failing heart, he comes face to face with two Force Spirits who ask him to sacrifice everything for another man’s son. Along the way, he’ll get a chance to save his own and bring together the tribes of Mandalore once more.
"A Guardian’s Path" by Keira Marcos
Relationship: Jaro Tapal/Eeth Koth, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Quinlan Vos
Word Count: 80,835
Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has no interest whatsoever in being Qui-Gon Jinn’s emotional support animal. This comes to quite a shock to several people. When Force influences him to make his wishes known, Obi-Wan is taken down a path to knighthood he’d have never imagined possible under the careful and gentle hand of Jedi Master Jaro Tapal.
This is one of the best stories I've read regarding how to deal with feelings, including very difficult feelings. It has the most emotionally intelligent Jedi I've ever seen -- far more so than canon, which is how they avoid canonical mistakes.
"Pathfinder" by Jilly James
Relationship(s): Gen, Pre-Obi-Wan Kenobi/Nield, OC/OC, background pairings
Word Count: 87,410
Summary: After being exiled from the Young and returning to the temple, Obi-Wan Kenobi goes through the motions of healing and re-establishing his place in the Order. Yet he knows there’s a far-reaching threat still facing the Young—there are risks of starvation, illness, and the greater threat of attacks from shadowy forces he sees only in vision. He has little faith in the Order residing within the walls of the temple, so he seeks help from without, sending petitions for aid to the service corps branches. After all, no one told him he couldn’t, and he’ll do anything to protect the Young.
EDIT 5/4/25 -- Here are some scans from a Star Wars comic.
