Recs wanted, Star Wars flavour.

[eleanorjane]

I'm in a Star Warsy kind of mood, and man, the Star Wars fandom does AUs really well.

If anyone has any recs for Qui Gon Lives fics, particularly ones that focus less on his relationship with Obi-Wan, and more on the effect of Anakin having a master who was a better fit for training him - I would be very appreciative!

Hell, any fun Star Wars AUs (particularly of the "what if X was different from canon history" variety) would be great.

Recs welcome!

If you haven't read the Reprise series, I highly recommend it. It's time travel rather than straight up canon divergence (Obi-Wan travels back to his own time as a padawan), but it's excellent and the third story was just finished yesterday, so it's complete and has an ending. (even though the author has a fourth story planned).

Probability Matrices by tanarill. Anakin dies as canon, and time travels back, and fixes lots and lots.

Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns by chancecraz. Leia goes to sleep the night after [TFA spoiler] and wakes up in ANH right before Vader comes to torture her, and fixes (and breaks) lots and lots.

Um... +scuffs feet+ I have one? Where by one I mean a stupidly long series co-written?

I mean. It has a LOT of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan (and I've shipped them since I was a teenager so it's Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan), but Also Very Much about Anakin and what having Qui-Gon there changes?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/6428986 starts the series, 187k and change.

And Asp (user name on AO3 still Merfilly) and I turn out AUs like crazy, so. I hope you find something to enjoy!

Not a Qui-Gon lives AU, but general time-travel shenanigans?

Back From the Future: Episode VI The Clone Wars by Ariel_Sojourner

Vader and Luke wind up going back in time and changing EVERYTHING.

I had read the latter series but the former was new to me - and great. Thankyou! :)

[eleanorjane]

Thankyou for the rec! 187k words - I'm sure that will keep me busy for a while ;)
