Summary
Why is Luke Skywalker embarking on a botanical expedition to Tatooine, of all places? Suffering from PTSD in the aftermath of his ordeal on the Eye of Palpatine and mourning the loss of two very different women, a mad quest for Force-sensitive trees on his home planet sounds vastly more appealing than another two months of a silent meditation retreat in the Yavin rainy season--even if it does nothing to fix his personal problems.
Yet between surprise attacks, evasive maneuvers, and long, drawn-out heart-to-hearts, Luke is surprised to discover that he feels better than he has in a long time.
And that's before they even make it to Tatooine.
(Fix-it for Darksaber by Kevin J. Anderson, and parts of Children of the Jedi by Barbara Hambly.)

Summary
He's unfocused during the rest of the day's training, turning the name over in his mind. He's pretty certain he's never met anyone named Mara, but the name feels oddly familiar all the same, and he's trying to meditate but mostly racking his brain — a pilot in a different wing, maybe? A friend of a friend? A name he's caught in a Holonet broadcast, even? — when Yoda raps him on the shoulder with his cane and says sharply, "Distracted, you are."
Inspired by a tumblr post: your enemy’s name on one wrist and your soulmate on the other. no clue which is which. hope it’s not the same name on both wrists.
When the markings on Luke's wrists finally come in, one reads Mara. The other reads Jade.

Summary
A Jedi fell, a Sith rose. Five years after Byss, the man who was Luke Skywalker decided he didn't want to be alone anymore.
"I will withdraw my forces from Coruscant. I will leave Republic space unchallenged. I will abide by the boundaries you set."In exchange, Mara Jade will become my wife.”
Or: the Bad Ending. The "AU of an AU forced marriage enemies to lovers slow burn that's mostly an excuse to write pointed L/M banter in this very specific flavor with a bit of plot sprinkled on top."
Sequel to Black Pawn and Black Knight, assumes that Black King doesn't happen.

Summary
He fell, and the galaxy kept turning.
Fifteen years after his fall, Luke Skywalker tends his gardens in a Force-null prison on Myrkr: isolated, monitored, and mostly forgotten by the galaxy he once tried to save.
Then Mara Jade shows up dying from a Vong bioweapon, and suddenly the Republic might have a use for a caged Sith Lord after all.
The question is whether Luke Skywalker can be trusted to save the galaxy – or if letting him out will just give them a different kind of apocalypse.
"When have impossible tasks ever stopped me before?"
Or: I present for your enjoyment: "what if the NR took Dark Empire seriously," combined with "what if the Vong War but you ignore all of the EU after Dark Empire," plus "what if dark-ish! Luke during the NJO." If that sounds fun, you are my people.
