3 Recs: Dune, SW:EU (L), and RotG

[senmut]

Fandom: Dune (Frank Herbert)
Fanwork type: Fanfic
Pairings/Characters: Alia Atreides
Rating and/or Content Warnings: Teen and Up / Major Character Death
Links: Knife of the Wind
Summary: Some are tossed by the wind, and others turn their edges to it, sharpening against the storm. Character study of Alia.

Reccer's Notes: This? Seriously gets Alia and who / what she was, through no choice of her own.

Fandom: Star Wars Expanded Universe (Legends)
Fanwork type: Fanfic
Pairings/Characters: Jaina Solo
Rating and/or Content Warnings: General Audiences / Siblings Deaths
Links: Two Funerals
Summary: Jaina at her brothers’ funerals.

Reccer's Notes: The author captured the core of what Jaina felt like in the aftermath of Darth Caedus

---

Fandom: Rise of the Guardians (movie)
Fanwork type: Fanfic
Pairings/Characters: Ms. Bennett & Jack
Rating and/or Content Warnings: General Audiences / author chose not to warn and I don't see any need to add some
Links: Imaginary Friends
Summary: Jamie's mother can't help thinking the best explanation is that Jack isn't imaginary - she just can't see him (yet).

Reccer's Notes: I absolutely LOVE the idea of Ms. Bennett deciding to believe in Jack, and how it evolves.

Thank you for the recs!
That Jania Solo one is heartbreaking, and it's been years since I've read much EU material.

I went back through the bookmarks on my Merfilly account, and those 3 rose to the top. So it was fun to revisit some old friends.

I... could not read much past Chewbacca's death in the series. But I stayed abreast of developments, and the entire thing with Jaina and Jacen and Ben WRECKED me.

I love recs mostly for that reason - it's a chance to scan through bookmarks and reread things :)

I don't think I read much past that point either.
