Saga Han, Leia, and Luke. 
So, Leia left Han to carry her luggage, just like Amidala did with Anakin, hmm.

As I've mentioned before I've got major DWB on this story. This post has been hanging around in my computer files for a couple of months, but this is really the last post I've got on this story. I may beat certain...ahem...very well-loved but slow-to-post authors on this board at length of time to next update. So, don't say you weren't warned....
Chapter Four
The trip to Zalopine took three days, and for the four sentients on board ship, it was a long three days.
Since Yavin, they had gone on a half-dozen missions together on the Falcon. Each time, Leia had been given Han’s cabin—the biggest on the ship—to use. For most of the first day, Leia holed herself in the cabin and did not emerge. Han, Chewbacca and Luke spent their time together taking care of shipboard tasks, and then sat in the lounge chatting and playing Dejarik.
Late in the afternoon, Han went to the galley and started rummaging around for food to cook for dinner.
“What’s on the menu, Han?” Luke called from the lounge where he was gingerly playing a game of Dejarik against Chewbacca. He was extremely careful in all the moves he made when playing the Wookiee, since Chewbacca was always very testy whenever he lost.
“Grilled narpani steak,” Han called back. Although it might seem strange that Han would be able to find his way around so well in the galley, no one teased him. Han had been raised by a Wookiee cook named Dewlanna who had taught him her craft, and, since he liked to eat, Han learned well. No one else on the ship knew how to cook and early on, they learned that if they insulted the chef, they went hungry.
Soon, mouth-watering smells drifted from the galley and filtered through the ship, even drawing Leia out from the cabin at the back of the ship. She entered the lounge. “Something smells really good,” she commented, sitting down at the Dejarik table next to Luke.
Luke tilted his head toward the galley, and Leia nodded, understanding. Her lips tightened momentarily, and then she turned back to Luke with a smile. “Thanks for coming, Luke,” she said.
Luke felt his heart skip a beat as he saw Leia’s smile. Then he looked back toward the galley for a moment. Ever since the Battle of Yavin he had been dazzled by Leia, and felt himself half in love with her. But Luke was no fool. He could see that, despite their vociferous protests to the contrary, Leia and Han were powerfully attracted to each other. The expression on Leia’s face only confirmed it more. He sighed a little inside. The Corellian was much more of a ladies’ man than Luke would ever be, and Luke could understand that Leia would be more drawn to Han’s flashier charm.
What was more surprising to Luke was his sudden realization that there was more than just attraction between Han and Leia. Luke looked away from Leia and tried to concentrate on the Dejarik board again, although he barely saw the pieces before him. She’s his, Luke thought forlornly. Get over her, Skywalker. She’s been taken—or was taken long ago.
“Dinner is served!” Han announced, coming out of the kitchen with a tray of grilled narpani steaks. Immediately, Chewbacca extinguished the players on the Dejarik board, and Luke joked, “Hey, Chewie! You sure have no trouble turning that off when I’m winning!”
The tone of Luke’s voice made Leia give him a sharp glance, but Leia was distracted by Han’s next statement:
“Well, Princess, hungry?”
Leia had been starving before she saw the smirk on Han’s face. Now, all her fighting instincts rose to the surface. “I think my appetite was better before you came in here.”
Han set the tray down on the table. “Perhaps I could whet your appetite in other things,” Han goaded. Luke and Chewbacca rolled their eyes simultaneously.
Leia stood up, furious. “You’re disgusting!”
“Yeah, well, you’re just a step away from going hungry, your Reverence.”
“I think I’d rather starve than eat anything you made, Captain!” Leia snapped back.
“Help yourself, your Worshipfulness,” Han waved toward the galley.
Now having talked her way into a corner, Leia gave Han a glare and stalked her way into the galley.
Half an hour later, the acrid smell of something burning drifted out into the lounge, and Han, Luke and Chewbacca, who had enormously enjoyed their dinner to the amusing sounds of Leia’s muffled curses, heard her shriek.
Immediately, they were all on their feet and crowded each other down the short corridor to see what was happening in the galley.
Han had no autochef on board the Falcon. The cooking equipment was somewhat primitive, which was just fine for Han, but for Leia, this chore required more survivalist skills than she possessed. The oven door was open and a pan of something charred and unrecognizable was splattered on the ground. Leia was on her hands and knees wiping up the floor.
“You all right?” Han asked.
Leia ignored him as she continued to wipe.
Han knelt down next to her and saw the small boil that was starting to appear on her thumb. He closed the oven door, which was still streaming out heat, and then grabbed a rag. “Hey,” Han said, as he reached for her hand. Leia jerked away from his touch as though she was being burned again.
“Don’t be a fool, your Worship,” Han said, irritated.
Behind him, Luke was picking up the charred remains of Leia’s attempt at dinner and putting it into the trash compactor. “Whatever that was, I think it deserves a merciful burial,” Luke murmured.
Leia rolled her eyes at Luke’s remark, but submitted to having Han wipe down her hands and put a bacta patch on her thumb.
“Come on,” Han said, leading her out of the kitchen. “There’s still some steak left.”
A growl at the doorway made Han stop short.
“What? You ate it all?” Han asked Chewbacca in disbelief.
Chewbacca roared his own defense. Han shook his head and nudged Leia toward the lounge. “Have a seat, your Worship.”
Han returned to the kitchen where Luke was finishing up the clean-up job. “Idiot,” Han muttered, as he started slamming pots and pans around. “If she just ate when the rest of us sat down none of this would have happened.”
“Why do you bait her then, Han?” Luke asked quietly.
“Me? I bait her? She’s ready to bite my head off if I so much as look at her sideways. All I’m doing is trying to survive, kid.” Han began tossing some vegetables together to make a salad.
Luke paused as he cleaned out the rags under the water dispenser. “Han—you notice anything different about her?”
“Just that she’s become more annoying than usual lately.”
Luke rolled his eyes. “No—I mean she seems really down.”
Han threw Luke a sharp glance and considered the younger man’s words. “Wasn’t it the anniversary of Alderaan’s destruction a couple of days ago?”
“Yes, but it’s not Alderaan,” Luke said, thoughtfully. “I think there’s more to it then that.” I sense something with her. Something not right.
“I think losing my planet would be enough to get me down,” Han said.
Luke shook his head, unconvinced. “You need any help here, Han?” Luke asked.
“Nah. You’re about as good a cook as she is. Get out of here.”
Luke grinned and then left the galley.
A few minutes later, Han emerged from the galley with a bowl of freshly tossed salad mixed with Patquiti-fowl breast chunks and set the bowl before Leia.
Leia looked up at Han, embarrassed. After all her snippy remarks, he had still gone through the trouble of making her dinner and she was grateful and ashamed.
“Thanks,” Leia murmured. “I’m sorry for causing you all this trouble.”
Han made a good show of rubbing his ears. “Excuse me? What did you just say? I’m sorry, but I think I’m losing my hearing.”
“Shut up before I throw this at you,” Leia retorted, aiming her trident at him.

A post! How unexpected.
Very nice. I really like how you wrote Luke in this one. And I have no problems at all imagining Han in the kitchen. I can't cook to save my life, but my father and brother-in-law are both excellent cooks. I just stay on their good side, that's all. 
Now we just need to take a lightsaber to DWB....

::happy dance complete with twirl::
A POST! A POST!
Awwwww, he made her dinner, anyway. He loves her.
Thank you so much for putting up the last post you have. This is such a promising story, alas, we are not to expect more anytime soon...
I may beat certain...ahem...very well-loved but slow-to-post authors on this board at length of time to next update.
Now, I know you couldn't possibly be talking about me, LadyPadme. So, you must be talking about the other one so famous, and yet so beloved...

Good to see one more post of this. I don't know how you can do 3 stories at once, so I understand the delay in this one. But I hope you come back to it when one or both of the others are finished -- especially since Luke is a major character in this one.

It was on her fifteenth day in the darkness of the Nirauan cave when Mara Jade awoke to discover a rescuer had finally arrived.
It was not, however, any of the potential rescuers she would have expected.
It was Luke.
~~And the rest is history~~

I nearly fell over in shock when I saw you'd updated, LadyPadme! *Giggles* I'm glad you posted this chapter though, because I enjoyed it very much.
I hope you get over your writer's block for this story... I'm looking forward to eventually reading more!
