The Expanse

A Brighter Future by Sholio
"And be caught without silver words on your tongue? You?" She made a rude hand gesture with the hand not holding the glass.

"Practice, Camina," he told her solemnly. "Silver words at push of button."

She blew out a breath. Her mouth was a serious line again, but he could still see a hint of that smile wanting to escape. It seemed that he had, after all, figured out how to make her laugh, and he liked that, even if it was at his expense. Excellent look at Drummer and Ashford between seasons 3 and 4. I can hear their voices clearly in the dialogue.

Neither/Nor by laEsmeralda
Amos goes back to Avasarala's office that night on Luna. I enjoyed this a lot.

Star Wars

A Buoy or a Paper Boat by igrockspock
Leia doesn't know how to have a relationship without fighting. It's kind of a problem. This is a really lovely look at Leia trying to navigate her relationship with Poe and learning that she can't just fall back on her habits from her relationship with Han.

Goes to Ground by jerseydevious
Anakin and Obi-Wan finally have a real conversation. ouch.

Interesting People You Meet In Prison by igrockspock
"Say it in public, and I'll deny it."

"You plan to take me out in public?"

Heat rushed to Leia's cheeks when she pictured showing up on D'Qar with an arrest record, cases of stolen blasters, and an attractive young rogue in tow. It was, she had to admit, fairly on brand, even if she'd spent the last twenty years trying to deny it. Leia and Poe meet in prison! Hee! This does a good job papering over the retcon in Poe's backstory per TRoS.

Missing and Presumed Dead by LadyVader23
Three months after ESB, Luke Skywalker is still reeling from the revelation of his parentage. When he finally cracks and tells Leia, she comes up with a plot to get Darth Vader off his back: stage his death. However, neither of them know that Darth Vader actually cares for his son, so the news ends up creating a Sith Lord hell bent on destroying anyone even remotely involved in Luke's demise. But when Leia tries to contact an in-hiding Luke, she finds that something terrible has really happened, and now no one knows where he is.

Meanwhile, Darth Vader starts getting a mysterious, unwilling visitor in his dreams... Epic, compelling AU where Luke faking his death is only the beginning of his adventures. I enjoyed this a lot.
