Lilo's Star Wars recs from the months of June & July
I've already made a long Star Wars rec list last year, so for this one I'll try to add just the new ones that aren't on the other list or my other Star Wars rec posts yet!
Fics are complete, and no Ao3 warnings apply, unless otherwise indicated.
I've mostly been reading about Obi-Wan and/or various Mandalorians, and this list is kind of a multiship mess, mostly slash and some femslash, but just know all the fics are really amazing regardless of ships :) if you want to filter more you can go through all of my bookmarks on Ao3! But now, here are my fav fics from the last couple months, sorted shortest to longest:

Mace dies. Mace wakes up. Mace wakes up the morning Anakin Skywalker walks into the Temple. Mace is not doing this again.
Crumbling Reality by RangerJedi67 @wanderingjedihistorian
Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi, 15k, rated T - this is a standalone fic in a series that functions more as a collection of separate works, they're all quite good just keep in mind they're completely unrelated stories!
Jango Fett told himself the clones were just products. Then he finds out about Dred Priest's cadet fight club. While he is reevaluating his life, a chance meeting with a redheaded Jedi changes everything.
Jon Antilles' Guide to Interacting with Mandalorians by Scathach343 aka the Cryptid Jon AU
Jon Antilles/Jaster Mereel, 20k, rated M, WIP series and still updating - I've got a summary of previous chapters here to make it easier to get back into it when there are updates
AU where Fay knew Tarre Vizsla and she teaches Jon whatever old timey dialect of Mando'a she speaks. This leads to certain misunderstandings when he encounters other Mandalorians... Aka, Jon unintentionally gets mistaken for a spirit of the Manda and becomes Mandalore's local cryptid.
The Jedi and the Symbiote by shadower01
Obi-Wan & Venom, Anakin/Padmé, graphic violence, rated T, 30k wip series but it feels complete enough
Having been Obi-Wan's Padawan for several years now, Anakin thought he knew just about everything about his master. That was until a mission went wrong and he finally gets to meet the thing which lives inside Obi-Wan.
The Gift by handdrawnisopach, SniperAnon (The_Big_Reveal)
Ghost!Obi Wan Kenobi/Jaster Mereel, 50k, rated E, WIP series but part one works as a standalone. I also have a summary of part one in my bookmark in case the series ever gets updated you can check it out to remember what happened in the first part :)
"A gift, it is," Yoda insists as he thrusts the prism towards Jaster’s knees. "Clear has it been in its desire to go with you. Argue with it I will not." His claws close Jaster’s fingers around the delicate prism. The calloused grip of the troll keeps Jaster's hand closed around it as he meets Jaster's gaze with stern green eyes. "Take care of it you must," he insists, shaking Jaster and the prism in their hands. "Priceless it is. Like your armor you must value it. More, even."
The Handmaiden's Foreknowledge Series by JEF_300
Padmé/Sabé, Saché/Yané, time travel, graphic violence, 60k wip series, still updating, detailed summary in my bookmark
Eirtaé met a Nightsister only a few days after Padmé's funeral. Now, she has to make a lot of plans, because the only one who can stop the horrible future she's from from coming about a second time is her. Priorities, in order: #1: Get Sabé and Padmé together. #2: Stop Palpatine. #3: The looming galactic war. Do... something about that. #4: Oh, and she also seems to be Force-sensitive now, so learn to use the Force, maybe? Or; a time travel fix-it Padmé/Sabé story, from a 3rd character's perspective.
Listen to the Visions by shadower01
Little Obi-Wan, Sifo-Dyas, good!Dooku, Jaster Mereel, unrated, chose not to use warnings, 60k wip series, last updated in 2022, I've got a summary of the posted chapters in my bookmark in case it updates again
Young Obi-Wan Kenobi suffers from force visions of the future. What if someone listened to these and took them seriously? These are the adventures of Obi-Wan, Padawan to both Master Sifo-Dyas and Master Dooku, Jedi Ambassador (in training) to the True Mandalorians and the only one who actually listens to the force.
It’s Not The War But What’s Behind It by lola_bunny15
Codywan, Obi-Wan & Mace Windu, chose not to use warnings, rated G, 70k, WIP and still updating, I've got a summary of the first couple chapters in my bookmark here
The Force loves Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though perhaps a little too much, if the amount of visions he receives is any indication. Mace Windu is drawn to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Whether it may be the Force, or the sheer amount of shatter points surrounding him, or even just those big blue eyes. He can’t help it. When Obi-Wan’s visions get too bad for his crechemaster to properly care for him and the rest of his clan, Mace makes a decision: Obi-Wan Kenobi shall be his padawan.
All the Roads We Walk Are Winding by K_R_Closson
Mace Windu/Jaster Mereel, Obi-Wan/Quinlan, 90k, rated M, PTSD, reformations
Qui-Gon reiterates that he cannot train Obi-Wan, but tells him he deserves to be a Jedi. Obi-Wan becomes the padawan of Mace Windu and dedicates himself to being a padawan worthy of a Master on the council. He bonds with his lineage sisterbDepa, gets into mischief with his best friend Quinlan, and meets the Mand'alor, Jaster Mereel. Obi-Wan Kenobi finds himself a family that spans cultures and the galaxy, and when darkness rises up to threaten it, he defends his family with all the lessons and tricks the Force has taught him.
as wild wings follow by blackkat @blackkatmagic
Feemor/Jaster Mereel, 100k, rated T, wip with regular updates, I have a summary in my bookmark - if your memory is as bad as mine is you can check it to more easily get back into the story when it updates ;)
Despite the council's objections, Qui-Gon takes a new padawan before Feemor is a made a Knight. Left adrift, Feemor makes the trip back to his homeworld, only to stumble over a strange old lightsaber in an ancient Mandalorian keep... Tarre Vizsla has spent a long time waiting for a Jedi to take up his blade again. The Mandalorian civil war is spiraling rapidly out of control, and as a former Mand'alor, Tarre has an obligation to his people - one that Feemor is going to have to fulfill in his place.
Enjoy :) and if you send some more fic recs my way I'd love that!
