Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024 - Masterlist
And so we reach the end of Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024! There was a total of 38 contributions this year, wow! đ As mods, we often worry about whether there's still enough people in the fandom who will want to participate in events like this, so we're very happy and grateful to everyone who wanted to join us in celebrating Han and Leia this time around đ
There's a little bit of everything to peruse - from missing moment fics to AUs; playlists to moodboards; webweaving; photography; a lot of tropes... although especially proposals this year đ We hope you'll want to catch up in the coming weeks and give the authors some love through likes, reblogs, kudos, and comments.
⨠Here's a masterlist that links to the tag in the blog that we set up for each day, so you can check out all the works by prompt:
Day 1: Tradition / Ceremony
Day 2: Braids & Bloodstripes / Home planet
Day 3: AU / Canon Divergence
Day 4: Force / Belief
Day 5: Favorite scene / Favorite quote
Day 6: Meeting / Escape
Day 7: Free day
đ Thank you to all the creators:
@bookishbrigitta
@walkawaytall

đ Remember that you can add your fic to the AO3 Collection if you haven't done so yet. Let us know if you have questions about how to do that, or if some time passes and we forget to approve it.
Until next time! We'll be back in November with the announcement for the Han/Leia Holiday Exchange 2024 đ

everybody wants to love you
(Han x Leia, Star Wars, rated T)
There are powerful alliances at stake for the fledgling New Republicâbut only if a certain prominent hero of the Alliance is open to a political marriage. A late offering for the final day of @hanleiacelebration's Han/Leia Appreciation Week.
The first Tapani proposal was made by way of a ten-being delegation from the planet Obulette.
They brought several lavish gift baskets into Leiaâs office, and performed a drawn-out ceremony involving dancing, kazz trumpets, and little in the way of explanation as to what this meeting was about.
It was only after Leiaâs polite, bewildered applause that the head of the delegation, Hirva Frane, announced with much flourish that The Most Noble Aterion Balis of House Mecetti of the Tapani Sector would like to put forward an offer of marriage.

Strange how my heart beats
Written for Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024 - Day 4: Force / Belief
@hanleiacelebration
Rating: T
When Leia finally manages to get some sleep after returning to the fleet from Bespin, she finds something unexpected in her dreams. Title is from Enyaâs âOn Your Shore.â
(Is this a later-than-expected entry for Han/Leia Week? Yes. Was it originally a ficlet that grew many more paragraphs? Also, yes.)

Leia closed her eyes and groaned, hiding her face in her hands. âItâs incredibly stupid,â she said, her voice muffled.
âWell, now you gotta tell me.â She sighed and mumbled something incomprehensible into her palms. âCanât understand ya, sweetheart,â Han said.
Leia dropped her hands and looked him in the eye. âItâs just a thing Iâve done sinceââ She sighed again. âAfter Bespin, Iâd get stuck inâŚLuke called them âprobability spiralsâ, where I couldnât stop thinking about how unlikely everything was to work out. It was unlikely you were alive, it was unlikely we would find you, it was unlikely even if you were alive that youâd survive the thawing processâŚI sounded like Threepio on his worst days. Iâd had a really, really bad day â I was stuck in my head, and I donât think I even made it to half my meetings that day, so Luke came to check on me, and when I started spiraling again, he said, âThink of all the times we should have died and didnât. This isnât any different.â So I did.â
âYouâŚdid?â
âThought of all the times we should have died.â Leia laughed softly and glanced away. âIn retrospect, I donât think he intended for me to take it quite so literally, but I was grasping at anything that might keep me from unraveling and IâIt felt like a project I could focus on for a few minutes, so I went through my calendar and marked every time we should have died. And after that, it just seemed like an interesting data point, so I kept tracking. SHD stands for should have died. Not very creative, I know, but Iâve never claimed to be.â
Han squinted at her. âYouâve been trackinâ every time we should have died?â
(Technically, this was half written for Han and Leia Appreciation Week 2023 and, when that didn't pan out, was finished for Han and Leia Appreciation Week 2024 for the prompt "Tradition". But it's real late, y'all.)

Star Wars High School AU: The princess and the rogue
Sorry that I was quiet for a week guys, but I was camping in a state park with less cell network and I would reblog prompt lists. This Star Wars High School AU fanfiction is a entry for @hanleiacelebration event Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024 day 7 free day and day 3 AU, featuring Karocelyn, my Star Wars The Old Republic Rattataki Jedi Knight character.
At the halls of Coruscant High, Leia Organa said to her Rattataki friend, "I don't know about Han Solo, Karocelyn. He is a good boy, but he is a bit hot head, and he flirt alot." and Karocelyn said to Leia, "I think you should give me a chance since you seem to like him." As a group of boys walk by, Leia said to Karocelyn, "What make you think I like Han, beside that he is handsome?" and one of the boys said, "What was that I hear, princess?" and Leia turn to see Han is the one whose speak with his best friends Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian, and her face goes red over admitting having a crush on him.

âWhy do you want little Solos running around so badly?â - Tatooine Ghost
Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024
Day Five: Favorite scene / Favorite quote
For @hanleiacelebration
I just love this scene so much, it's so Han and Leia. Stuck between Suns and Star Destroyers, Leia decides, that this is the moment she should tell Han that she changed her mind about children. This may be the last chance, they can die the next minute, but they aren't too pressed about it, after all they went through this a few times alreadyđđ

HAN AND LEIA: because no matter how much he might love herâ no matter how much he might give himself to herâ she could never be content with that alone. her vision extended beyond him, just as it extended beyond herself, to all the beings of the galaxy. and to take that away from her, whether by force or even by persuasion, would be to diminish her soul. and to take away part of what he'd fallen in love with in the first place" â dark force rising, timothy zahn (1992)

You guys aren't going to believe this: I was trying to just finish the final scene of Macabre, and something I had Han say made me want to write this instead. So I did that. Happy last day of Han and Leia Appreciation Week to all who celebrate. Maybe I'll get at least part of Macabre up later.
