Summary
In this world, nothing can be said to be certain except …
Or: Mara Jade arrives on Yavin IV expecting to discuss Jedi training, not to find Leia Organa on the brink of murdering her brother over tax forms.
What follows: one (1) Jedi feigning financial illiteracy for the bit, one (1) ex-Imperial assassin drafted into explaining basic economics, and one (1) senator armed with wine and righteous fury.
Also featuring: “Luke Middle Name Skywalker,” the audacity of the water cubit argument, and a brief exploration of how the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy became terrifyingly good at weaponizing sincerity.

Summary
He fell, and the galaxy kept turning.
Fifteen years after his fall, Luke Skywalker tends his gardens in a Force-null prison on Myrkr: isolated, monitored, and mostly forgotten by the galaxy he once tried to save.
Then Mara Jade shows up dying from a Vong bioweapon, and suddenly the Republic might have a use for a caged Sith Lord after all.
The question is whether Luke Skywalker can be trusted to save the galaxy – or if letting him out will just give them a different kind of apocalypse.
"When have impossible tasks ever stopped me before?"
Or: I present for your enjoyment: "what if the NR took Dark Empire seriously," combined with "what if the Vong War but you ignore all of the EU after Dark Empire," plus "what if dark-ish! Luke during the NJO." If that sounds fun, you are my people.

Summary
Four months after Bespin, the Rebellion is running on fumes. When a desperate plea arrives from the mines of Eriadu, Mon Mothma and Kleya Marki send Luke Skywalker undercover to extract a cell of workers who the Empire has pushed too far.
Yet Eriadu is a fortress world, the ancestral seat of House Tarkin. The Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade, has arrived to cut out the decay and the traitors, armed with the Emperor's authority and a license to hunt.
In the smog of the Carrion Plateau, a half-trained Jedi practicing heroism in a math-driven mission and an elite Assassin seeking for justice in a rotten regime are on a collision course. When the eye of the Empire is open, when truth lays bare under the Sun, one will blink and the other will not.

Summary
As a rule, Vader didn't really do anything with his social media account, but then the rant of some kid from Tatooine about the inefficiency of TIE Fighters began trending, the pilots and engineers on the Devastator started fixing their ships and Vader got invested.
“Welcome to another episode of Scrap Hunting,” the teenager in the video said. He took a sip of water from the metallic canteen he was holding, drinking slow and carefully the way only a desert dweller did. “A couple weeks ago some sleemo commented that I’d never be able to improve any Imperial ships since I’m just Outer Rim trash. And I suppose you did have a point that the things I fix won’t ever reach the level of an Imperial TIE because I wouldn’t build such trash in the first place.”

Vows of Survival by Pippopok, Pippopok2 (Pippopok)

Summary
It is an open secret among the Rebel troops that many of the top Rebellion commanders have spouses in the Imperial ranks whom they were forced to abandon for the greater good when they deserted. Because of this, a policy was put in place: the spouse of a current Rebel soldier, if captured, may not be executed and must be held unharmed as a political prisoner.
Mara Jade, whose connection to the force has been inexplicably struggling since a chance run-in with an unknown force-sensitive on Daiyu, has been given one final chance to redeem herself to the Emperor after a string of mishaps. Her new mission, to investigate a recently unearthed Jedi temple, finds her once again face to face with Luke Skywalker. When the mission goes awry and nearly costs Mara her life, she finds herself waking up a prisoner on a Rebel base.
Despite Luke's protests, Rebel High Command quickly deems Mara too dangerous to be left alive, and plans to execute her for the safety of The Alliance. Luckily, Luke knows a loophole that just might save Mara's life.
As long as he can get her to agree to it, that is.
