Fic Recs: Star Wars

The results are in, and Star Wars narrowly won the poll for the first set of recs.
Before I get started, a couple of notes on the way I label fics. If a fic is, in either my opinion or the authors, predominantly gen-focused but also includes either het or slash pairing, the fic will be tagged both 'gen' and 'het'/'slash'. Anything that does contain ship will also be labelled with the pairing, so nobody should be scared for life by reading anything they don't care for. And if I haven't included a rating, assume it's PG - PG-13 at the most.
I'm working my way through some of my older fics here, so if I've rec'd these before, I apologise. I'm just getting my tracking system in order, so from here on in I'll be able to keep track of what I have and haven't rec'd. I'm also trying to get a balance between authors, genres, and timeframes (taking into account my obvious biases, of course!).
Ghosts in the Dark
Author:
beatrice_otter
Characters: Luke, Han
Wordcount: 500-2000 words
Description: Han and Luke, prisoners together in Jabba's dungeon. AU, of a sort.
Tags: gen dark AU angst
Notes: I suspect most SW fans on my flist have read this, but it deserves mentioning just in case someone missed it.
Freedom to Err
Author: obaona
Characters: Luke, minor Wedge
Wordcount: 2,000-5,000 words
Description: 'Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.' An Imperial pilot tries to defect to the Rebellion after a battle with Rogue and Red squadrons. Post ANH, Pre-ESB.
Tags: gen drama characterstudy
Notes: A fic which combines both pilot!Luke and (learning-to-be)Jedi!Luke.
Of Renewal
Author: Jedi Trace
Characters: Luke, Mara
Wordcount: 500-2000 words
Description: 'It was time reclaim his father's heritage and time to move on…for both of them.' Why did Luke give Mara his father's lightsabre?
Tags: gen introspective
The Sith Who Bought Life Day
Author: Ophelia
Characters: Darth Vader, OC, Luke
Wordcount: 10,000-25,000 words
Description: 'An Imperial officer loses a bet and has to get Darth Vader a present for Life Day.' A unique take on how Lord Vader discovered the identity of the rebel pilot.
Tags: gen humour
Notes: I'm not entirely sure I buy the set-up premise, 'cause if I made a bet which resulted in me having to get Darth Vader a present, I think I'd default, but regardless, this fic combines one of my favourite perspectives (outsider POV) of one of my favourite ideas in the OT (Vader discovering Luke's identity), and I can't help loving it. And did I mention the humour?
Finding the Words
Author:
freedomfry
Characters: Obi-wan, Anakin
Wordcount: 2,000-5,000 words
Description: Over the span of their relationship, Obi-wan finds words to describe Anakin.
