    WarmNyota_SweetAyesha recommends: Battle Scars and Bloodstone by @Adalia-Durron
    This is what I like to call a milestone fic where a couple are at a crux in their relationship and will either move forward or fracture. Adalia and Kyp start off at different points prioritizing their relationship but they get help from true friends. A strong cameo by Luke and Mara is just icing, cream cheese icing on the cake LOL [face_dancing]

    Hmm, that’s odd, it seems I am out one recommendation post—which means either I didn’t get any submissions for June or simply blanked on putting up the ones I did get. If the latter, I apologize! And if you had a recommendation for June that got lost in the mix somehow, feel free to send it again, and I’ll get it into the July list!

    And with that, here’s my usual announcement for July:

    Hello everyone! Time to start thinking of the stories you'd like to recommend in July 2021. Please PM them to this sock by Saturday, July 3 so that I can post the list on Sunday, July 4. (That is the date I shall aim for, in any case—please note that I may be a bit late doing so, as that is a public holiday in the United States and I may be busy.) As always, please see the rules post for details. :)

    Kit’ recommends: Then the Dreadful Night Shall Break by @Blue_Daddys_Girl
    Genre: Drama, Angst
    Canonicity: AU
    Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, CT-7567 | Rex, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Vokara Che, Ahsoka Tano, and more.
    This is just an amazing fic. It has rekindled my love of hurt/comfort pics for Obi-wan. The characterisations are amazing, the angst is very real and I find myself muttering "Oh no, Obi-wan" quite a lot under my breath as I read it. Basically Obi-wan is a slave and in enduring his enslavement and escape he 'breaks'. Now he's back at the Temple and no-one really knows what to do with a broken Jedi - not even that Jedi himself.

    WarmNyota_SweetAyesha recommends: Sugar Wishes by @Kit'

    This has everything an AU should have. Anakin and Padme together raising Luke and Leia who are TOO cute. Friends Obi-Wan and Ahsoka and a whole troop of former Clone troopers. =D= There is snark and couple and friendship sweet feels.

    Kahara recommends: The Bull and the Bear by @rktho
    A story about General Grievous before he was Grievous. This is a sad and disturbing one, but such a beautiful insight into a character of the "made to look cool oh no what do we do for a backstory let's just throw a bunch of stuff at the wall" variety that there are often a lot of in Star Wars antagonists. Also, it has a fantastic version of the Kaleesh mythology and culture.

    WarmNyota_SweetAyesha recommends: Going Within, Going Without by @Thumper09

    The original Revwien characters, Zervulian and Vroonze and others are compelling and relatable. Zervulian is struggling with chronic health concerns while Vroonze is trying to discover her 'Force' attunement. Thumper does an amazing job with the nonverbal gestures etc. and 'translating' them from Revwien to what we would understand, e.g., manipulating of leaves and/or seed case. ;)

    WarmNyota_SweetAyesha recommends: Renewal by @Gabri_Jade

    An amazing, well-written sequel to The Last Command. Mara is suddenly contacted by her family whom she understandably thought had been taken out by Palpatine's efficient way of severing all ties as he found someone he could mold. Now, Luke, Leia, and Han are supporting her on this very unexpected, momentous journey!

    I just found this story while looking back through the last year or so and remembered how much I enjoyed reading it a few months ago. It's a fun, short-and-sweet AU adventure with Luke and Mara working together during time period of Dark Empire. (And it of course has some hints of romance, as you may usually expect with the author! ;) Also I just found that it's completed! :)

    Kahara recommends: Twin Suns at the Door of Night by @Cynda
    If you like alternate timelines spinning off the "what if's" of the OT, this might be up your alley. It features Darth Vader, Luke, and Leia meeting under extremely hazardous circumstances (aren't they always) during the time after ESB, and of course there is a creepy Sith planet and all that goes with that. Lots of character development but also fits pretty well in the action/adventure category. Unfortunately it's unfinished at the moment, but there's more than enough to enjoy the story.

    SAGA & BEYOND
    WarmNyota_SweetAyesha recommends: Fractured by @Gabri_Jade
    This is a touching 'prequel/back story' for her Renewal story, where we see Mara's family struggle with her loss and the daunting challenge of finding financial and emotional stability while still staying out of the Empire's notice. Family bonds are tested and strengthened. :) @};-
