Gifts for me!
Signal to Noise by incognitajones (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): Rose and Kylo (plus hints of Force ghost!Luke) and all the funny, snarky, unexpectedly soft moments between them. I was really hoping for someone to fill this prompt, since Rose & Kylo is the friendship crack pairing of my dreams; this one met and exceeded my hopes in the best way.
Minor Counterintelligence Operations by igrockspock (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): A somewhat angsty but mostly sweet and funny Solo family fic. Ben is adorably precocious and observant, and Han and Leia are doing their best in their own very different ways. Han & Ben was my requested pairing for this one, so it was a wonderful surprise to get a fic that was also heavy on Ben & Leia feels.
Gifts for other people!
Relax and Fly Casual by igrockspock (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): Han smuggles spice (and other more legitimate items on the sly), dragging Ben along as his reluctant accomplice. Another sad-yet-funny fic with a perfect sucker punch of an ending.
Your Tender Charm by ambiguously (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): I love Reylo fics that capture their dynamic while lightening up on the angst a bit, and this one fit the bill perfectly! It's also another one with a truly beautiful ending.
Situation: CAPTIVE by Selden (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): A romance for the ages. I can't think of many fics I've read that are truly, laugh-out-loud hilarious, but this one is, along with being sweet and creative and capturing both characters wonderfully--not the easiest thing to do when you're writing about droids!
hver gæti mér orð þessi láð? by kimaracretak (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy): Two of my favorite taken-from-us-too-soon characters not only survive, but form a beautiful and mutually healing friendship! I love that this story is fairly light on angst but still carries a lot of emotional weight. Paige and Amilyn are both idealistic yet practical, and deeply compassionate--it's really no wonder that, if they'd had the time, they'd have ended up friends sooner or later.
