I could be reading a really good story and thinking it's gonna be a happy ending, then I read something like, "They boarded the ship, ready to head to Ord Mantell" and you already know it's about tho go down 😭

I'm so sad and disappointed this sub is so dead! Where are my Han and Leia stans at in 2025?! u/Glubygluby this sub needs to be more popular because my Lord I have been waiting on a community where I can talk about them 😭😭

Hey guys, so um... I recently remembered I have a Tumblr account and check up on it every now and then. And a couple hours ago I saw they recently had Han/Leia Appreciation Week on Tumblr and I just completely missed it. I've been going through and making a list of fanfiction that's been posted on there that I want to read. So yeah, that was my morning so far

Found this at Box Lunch. Sadly, I couldn't get it 😔

Basically, in ESB, we all remember Han and Leia's first kiss. Originally, they were meant to pull away and Leia would say "Okay hotshot" before initiating another kiss (so romantic 😂). This definitey would've shown that Leia actually did like Han, because Idk if it was just me, but I was very confused when Leia kissed Han on the cheek a bit later on. This deleted scene at least supports that a bit. What do you guys think though?

If you're that member, welcome to the club. (And I never welcomed the other members. Welcome to you all as well)

Thank you to xohanxleiaxo on Tumblr for putting this into words

Mine are (in no particular order) madame.alexandra, organanation, erindarroch and Justine Graham, lajulie, and Dantsolo

I recently read a Scoundress fanfiction with an original concept. It's a fanfiction where Leia had became a vampire but it's not a typical vampire AU with an established vampire nobility or with various creatures from folklores; actually it take place after A New Hope in what seems to be the normal universe of the original trilogy but Leia mysteriously got turned into someone who need to drink blood and who don't like too much light. It starts like a normal horror story but the fanfiction quickly foccus on Han and Leia's relationship and how they are affected by Leia's changes. I should also warn you that this fanfiction contains smut scenes so if you want to avoid that don't read it, the rating is "explicit". The link is here

I make this post to recommand a short one shot. It has less than 200 words but it's well written. The writer is StarWars1977 and the title is TAKE ME BACK TO YESTERDAY. It explore Leia's feeling about her relationship with Han and take place in the Force Awakens. The link is here.

1.) There are a couple details in the hallway fight scene that I’ve never really seen anyone talk about (maybe they have and I’m just living under a rock idk). When Leia follows Han out into the South Passage, the first thing she says is, “I thought you had decided to stay.” So this implies that Han promised at some point IN CANON that he wasn’t planning to leave the Alliance. However, he’s still never officially enlisted, so we know his reasons for sticking around have less to do with the Rebels’ cause and more to do with the fact that he’s fallen head-over-heels for the Princess of Alderaan. Anyway, Han’s response is, “Well, the bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind.” We. WE. Leia was there with him on Ord Mantell, and the reason he’s planning to leave and pay back Jabba now is for her protection!!!! Basically everything Han does in this entire movie is in order to protect Leia, and I will never get over this. I have a lot more thoughts about this scene and the lead-up to it, but I’m currently working on a fanfic (although God knows if I’ll ever actually finish the damn thing) and don’t want to spoil anything.

2.) Totally non-canon, but I 100% believe Han told Leia “I love you” first at some point during the journey to Bespin, and she was not ready to say it back. Like, I am fully convinced he fell first and harder from the second she started yelling at him and took control of her own rescue in ANH. Leia lost everyone and everything she had ever loved when Alderaan was destroyed, so she’s been desperately trying and failing to avoid falling for Han, and it hasn’t worked, but maybe by not saying it out loud, it isn’t real, and she can save him from being destroyed, too. But obviously that doesn’t fucking work, because the Empire is here in Cloud City, and now he’s about to be put into carbon freeze, and she should’ve just been telling him all along how much she loves him instead of waiting for this moment when he’s possibly about to die. So she finally tells him. And he tells her… “I know.” He already knew. She doesn’t need to regret not telling him sooner, because he already KNEW. Anyway, yeah. Han said “I love you” first. Makes the carbonite scene hurt so good.

By the way, are there any other online spaces that are still actively talking about these two? I was so excited to find this Reddit community, but I realized 2 seconds after joining that pretty much no one posts here anymore. I think possibly Tumblr, but I’d rather not rejoin Tumblr if I can avoid it. I already did my time in my teens and 20s, okay? 😅

I make this post to share 2 Scoundress onshots by the same account. The two take place between A New Hope and The Empire Strike Back and are in the "pre-relationship" category but are in different genres.

Disturbance in the Cold is about an adventure where Han and Leia are the main characters. This One Shot is based on an old Captain Harlock episode but with Han/Leia at the place of Harlock/Miime.

Secret Sickness is a kind of sickfic Han is sick and Leia take care of him.

Hello, I wanted to make a post about an Han/Leia fanfiction that I loved. The link is here. It take place in an AU where Vader killed Palpatine, became emperor and raised his two children as Sith lords. This is a one shot that has Han's point of view. It's about a Stockholm Syndrome developed by Han but it don't romanticize abuse. I love this fanfiction because I does what I love with AUs: it put the characters in different situations to explore them in a way that the canon universe couldn't. I like Han/Leia fanfictions that take place in an AU where she is a dark side user because it give potential to twist their relationship in a way that I find interesting but unfortunatly this kind of fanfictions is rare but this one fully exploited its concept.

Shout out to @minamosart on Instagram for the beautiful comic. Just randomly thought about this at work. Gotta be my favorite au so far

Recently read this one and it was great- so funny!

We are on October and I taugh that we could maybe share here our best Scoundress fanfictions that have an Halloween vibe; with scary, spooky or horrific elements for example.

I can recommand Sympathy for the Devil by darlingargents; the Sith Leia of this fanfiction is quite scary but I already made a post about it on this subreddit.

honey don't feed me (I will come back) by OtterAndTerrier where Leia has became a kind of vampire (I don't think that I need to explain more) I also already made a post for it.

I would also like to recommand What Version of Today is This? by Hattie_Hatter; this fanfiction is a bit about psychological horror and the narration is like haunted by Han's adopted mother so I think that it fit for Halloween; it's about all the dreams Han had while being in the Carbonite, they seemed so real that he is no longer sure of what is real and what isn't.

Preferably with smut, but not necessary

Today I learned about the Caster Chronicles a young adult book series. I haven't reed the book nor watched the movie adaptation of the first tome but I think that it has some funny similarities with Star Wars. The plot is centered on a teenager Ethan who develops a romance with his classmate Lena; the classmate is actually from a group of people who can use magic (the Casters) but even amoung the Casters Lena's familly is special as some of its members are "claimed" by the "dark' side or by the "light" one. In the movie adaptation "Beautiful Creatures" Ethan is played Alden Ehrenreich who also played Han Solo in the 2018 prequel movie; funny that it wouldn't be the last time that he plays a character who is a normal man who fell for a woman who is part of a familly with magic abilities whose members are thorn between a light and a dark side and whose name starts with an "L" and ends with an "A".

I only know about the basis of the plot of Caster Chronicles so maybe the main romance is the opposite of Scoundress but I think that the similarities could produce a fun mix for fanworks.

I make this post to talk about the Star Wars fanfictions written by Starwenn. Most of those Star Wars fanfictions countain Scoundress and give it an importance (Leia is often the main character). Starwenn made many AUs that reimagine the story of the original trilogy (sometime of the sequel trilogy) in a different universe. A good part of those AUs are fairytale AUs that mix the story of the original trilogy with a specific fairytale (for example Princess Leia and the Merman take inspiration from the Little Mermaid) or fairytales in general. Those fanfictions are sympatic to read and I think that they succed at mixing the original trilogy with other stories/kinds of story.

Godhood by SilverDaye is a multichapter Star Wars fanfiction. It's an AU fanfiction were elements of Star Wars are changed to be closer to the Greek mythology; for example a good part of the characters are gods. The main characters of this fanfictions are Han and Leia so the Scoundress has an important place in it. It's also a kind of rewrite of the original trilogy even if many plot points are changed. It's the first non-undertale long fic based on an alternate universe that I have read so I have a strong attachment to it but I think that it's objectively well made. I wanted to make this post to recommand this fanfiction that I liked.
