Main characters: Darth Vader, Ben Skywalker
Summary: Several years post ROTJ, Lord Vader finds himself with a new role to fill-Grandpa. Extremely AU. If you’ve ever wanted to see Vader vs. Toddler, this is your story. : Humorous longshot.
Comments: I stumbled upon this fic by accident, saved it to read later and didn’t until a long time after the fact. But when I finally read it, I mentally cursed myself for taking so long to get to it. This is excellent and I’m so glad I took a chance on it. Highly recommended Skywalker family fluff.
Main characters: Darth Vader, Anakin Solo
Summary: AU humor longshot. Companion piece to Lord Vader’s Limpet. Sixteen-year-old Anakin Solo is on the manly quest for a space license, but the only person who can take him to the Department of Space Transportation is…his grandfather.

Main characters; Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader
Summary: What if, in an AU where ANH never had the chance to happen, Leia learnt the truth about her heritage and decided to confront Vader and Luke with it herself? Luke, Leia, Vader. One-shot.
Comments: I absolutely adore this fic, especially realistic AUs like this. It was yet another story I wasn’t sure about, but took a chance on because I’m not a big fan of standards for Leia characterization out there. But this fic… it’s wonderful and I wish the author would expand up on it. Regardless, it’s a must read. Highly, highly recommended.
