Summary
Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa brought a New Hope to the galaxy, though they faced trials and tribulations for years and years after. Anakin Skywalker Fell and Burned in the flames of Love and Hate and Mustafar, destroyed a Republic and unwittingly killed the love of his life and the Mother of his children and helped spread Darkness over the galaxy before ‘redeeming’ himself by killing the source of all evils and saving his newly rediscovered children.
But neither of them would have existed without another woman.
Another Mother.
Few tales are ever told about Shmi Skywalker, for all she was the pebble that started the avalanche.
OR
In a thousand universes, Shmi Skywalker is one random woman among billions, fated to live or die and shape the path of her son. And in a thousand other, Shmi Skywalker has a rare gift.
A gift called the Force.
And the Temple gains a new resident, long before a Chosen One can appear in the galaxy...

Summary
Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.
[Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

Summary
“Okay, I realize this could appear to be poorly conceived - to those of limited vision - but what you have to understand is, I’ve actually just had the greatest, most outstanding idea ever.” Tony’s eyes searched heavenward and then he nodded soberly. “Yes, I believe history will consider this my triumph.”

The Women in the Case by Gray Cardinal (Gray_Cardinal) for sanguinity

Summary
An account from a cache of manuscripts attributed to Enola Holmes - which both answers a great many questions about significant women in the Holmesian canon, and raises a great many others. Specifically: the narrative presented here overlaps in part with that of The Beekeeper's Apprentice, and presents a radically different version of certain events therein.
