The Dividing Factor by Niralle (PG)
Fandom: STAR WARS: EXTENDED UNIVERSE
Pairing: Luke/Mara
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read: This story could pass for profic, and is in fact higher quality than most of the post-RotJ EU that I've read. There's an interesting and involved plot, the original characters are realistic and compelling, and the canon characters are true to their canon personalities.
"The Dividing Factor" takes place six months after Tim Zahn's Hand of Thrawn duology, with Niralle writing of a threat to the human race, Luke Skywalker and his new wife Mara being tossed into the middle of the crisis, and everyone learning a few things as they work their way through the situation. I like this story so much because Luke is written as the calm, confident, and compassionate Jedi we see in Return of the Jedi, Mara is still tough and capable without being cold, the love between the two of them is eloquently shown without taking over the plot of the fic, the actual plot is both well-thought out and well-written, and the situation fits extremely well into the galaxy far, far away at that point in time. It's just an all-around good fic.
Matic jumped, startled. He spun around to the room's entrance. Master Skywalker stood there, looking more refreshed than when Matic had seen him last.
Skywalker walked to his wife; giving Matic a tiny smirk, she turned her attention to the Jedi Master and smiled with a nod. "Any news?" she asked.
Matic turned back to Skywalker, who merely sighed as he gazed at his wife. "Nothing that makes sense at the moment. I wish visions were as easy to read as a chart. It'd make my meditations more relaxing."
The Jedi woman cocked an eyebrow. "What would be the fun in that?"
"What are you talking about?" Matic suddenly found himself saying, perplexed. "You have new information about this?"
"Nothing that will aid us at the moment," the Jedi Master replied mysteriously.
Matic groaned. "You know, my R-5 unit makes more sense than you, sir."
"I would hope so. It plugs into a readout computer."
