5 Times Anakin's Ghost Gave Unsolicited Parenting Advice by
Callioope
Luke finally turned to look at his father's ghost. Despite everything, Luke noted with some amusement that his father still preferred to appear as his twenty-three-year old self. Even ten years ago, it had felt strange seeing his father this way; now it was downright ridiculous. To see them sitting together, one might have thought Luke the father and Anakin the son.
"I would prefer to be remembered this way," Anakin said, reading Luke's thoughts. "As your mother saw me."
"Mother." Luke sighed and looked back to the horizon, at the trailing orange-red glow of the set sun. "What would she have done?"
"Oh, something brilliant, probably," Anakin said, smiling. "Something well beyond the likes of us." Exactly what the title says: Luke and Anakin's ghost watching over Rey through the years.

AU where Obi-Wan is a lady; she and Anakin get captured by Dooku and have to try to figure out what he wants with them while also trying to escape/get rescured. A good read. (Ugh, bring me all the lady!Obi-Wan fic; it scratches an itch I didn't even know I had.)

Interesting look at Rey, Luke, and Kylo Ren throughout Rey's training.

Ahsoka Tano has survived, but she has not been spared. Ahsoka, in the years after the Jedi purge. *sobs*

Really lovely (if heartbreaking, because canon) look at Ahsoka and Anakin's relationship from Obi-Wan's POV.

Really lovely look at Rey deciding what to do with her hair after she joins the Resistance.

While Rey sips her tea, Leia stands behind her and combs the knots out of her hair. Her hands are cool and gentle and if, from time to time, they seem to shake, Rey doesn't say anything. It should feel strange, being fussed over by this woman she barely knows, but there's a connection between them that's deeper than grief, deeper than the need for amends. Rey senses it, but she's too tired, too overwhelmed to think about it now. All she can think is, This must be what it's like to be someone's daughter. This must be what it's like to feel safe. ♥REY♥ Lovely.
