Life is a Cabaret

Speaking of fic...a few weeks ago I did that "Stump the Writer" meme, which mlgm managed to do. She asked for something that happened after either scenario two or scenario three of my fic Five Things That Never Happened to Luke Skywalker. This probably isn't what she was expecting, but it's an excerpt from the story in my head of what happened after scenario three. Anyway.

Title: No Coincidence
Author: Rynne
Rating: G
Summary: After being rescued from the Death Star, Luke Organa learns a bit more about Leia Skywalker.
Notes: For mlgm, and sorry it took so long. You should probably read the fic this is based on if you want to understand the events here. I actually have a lot more of this story in my head, including more backstory than just what's in "Five Things...", so I hope this makes enough sense on its own.

( No Coincidence )

No, I haven't disappeared. I've been finishing papers! And once I post this and stop procrastinating, I'll start another one!

...Stupid end of semester. Why can't you just be over already, with me already having gotten stuff done?

Title: Feet on the Ground
Author: Rynne
Fandom: Star Wars
Rating: PG-13
Summary: AU. Luke Skywalker has grown up his father's apprentice, and can't imagine anything but serving the Emperor. But after one mission, Luke's illusions begin to shatter, and Luke and his father begin to plan for the future--their future. Primarily a Luke-Vader story, with eventual Luke/Mara.
Author's notes: This is the first sequel to my fic Walking the Sky. I highly suggest you read that before reading this, though the basics are that Vader found Luke on Tatooine when Luke was nine, killing Obi-Wan and another Jedi, and leaving Owen and Beru alive.

This fic is written in its entirety, and is eight chapters long, plus a prologue. The only delay in posting chapters is when I get them back from my betas and make corrections, so I should be updating fairly frequently.

There are characters and concepts from the Star Wars Extended Universe in here, but very few. The biggest one is Mara Jade, who plays a large role, and who will be an important part of the plot, and not just as a love interest. I hope that I've provided enough background on Mara so that those of you who have seen Star Wars but not read any of the EU books would still be able to follow the story, if you want to read it--just think of her as an original character (which she is, though created by Timothy Zahn and not me).

Enormous thanks must go to krabapple and Trace for betaing. You made this fic much better than it would have been on its own. Thank you!

( Chapter Seven )

To prove that I haven't forgotten the drabble requests from back in January, here's a short fic. drakyndra requested Star Wars gen, child!Luke, and a bit of Ben. Luke is maybe eight here, or thereabouts.

Title: For Thine is the Kingdom
Author: Rynne
Fandom: Star Wars
Rating: NC17
Summary: Vader will do anything to persuade Luke to the Dark Side...post-ESB Luke/Vader slash/incest
Warning: This is rated NC17 for father/son incestual slash, sexual acts, dubious consent, and (possible) disturbing themes. If you do not think you can handle such things maturely, please do not read.
Notes: Thank you to jedibix783 for betaing. Written for and dedicated to vikkir, who asked me for L/V slash. Hope you like it. :)

This chapter is rated PG-13/R. I've also got commentary on writing this fic, if you want to read that.

Fic #1! I'd started this months ago and posted it (in progress) to rynneisplotting, my plot bunny storage journal. About a week ago I finally brought it out again and finished it, and krabapple kindly betad it, so here it is. No real knowledge of events outside the movies is needed to understand it, so I hope some people read it. :)

Title: Mother's Eyes

Rating: G
Summary: Padmé watched her children. A story told immediately post-RotJ. Slight Anakin/Padmé and Han/Leia
Notes: Thank you to krabapple for betaing! This isn't the kind of thing I normally write, so I'm sorta nervous about it...

So, I am back at college. There will be a personal post later, especially since I saw Goblet of Fire yesterday and want to say a few things about it, but first, here's some fic. It's Star Wars, but I promise you there will be HP fic soon. (And possibly Princess Bride, His Dark Materials, and The Last Unicorn. :p)

Summary: There's a reason Obi-Wan did not tell Luke the truth about his father--he didn't want something like this to happen. ANH AU.
Notes: First of all, yes, that is the ending, and there will be no sequels or continuations. Second, thank you to my betas, kayladie, mlgm, and my lovely allisonblair. You guys rock. :D
