For Han/Leia Appreciation Week 2024 (@hanleiacelebration) - Day 2: Braids & Bloodstripes (hair or clothing) / Home planet

Each of these excellent Han/Leia fics feature clothing, hair, makeup, or more as significant parts of their plots or setups — and they’re all well worth reading. Enjoy, and be sure to leave the authors your kudos and comments!

Formal Functions by EllieL / @ellielstories

Rated M

Han and Leia at six different formal events over the years.

Leather and lace by @otterandterrierwrites

Rated E

A pair of leather racing gloves figures heavily into this delicious smut, in which Leia listens to Han ramble on about racing but eventually manages to property distract him.

Jooni and Doré by @otterandterrierwrites

Rated T

An undercover mission prompts an opportunity for Han to take Leia on “the worst date she’s ever had,” including forcing her to wear an appropriately tacky outfit. The friends have “a totally normal time” (yeah, they kiss).

Gestures by @knightedrogue

Rated M

Han makes a rather impressive gesture (involving his New Republic dress uniform and a formal dinner) and Leia is struck speechless. She duly rewards him later.

Baby, Let Your Hair Hang Down by spinninginfinity / @yoyomarules

Rated T

Post-ROTJ, Leia does something a little different with her hair, now that she has access to hair stylists and quality shampoo. Han definitely approves.

Whore by @madame-alexandra

Rated M

On the way to Bespin, Han finds a lipstick (and more) in Leia’s go bag.

And Then We’ll See by CaptainNinapants / @captaincwb

Rated T

a Very messy Clay And Pearl animatic because i am normal and well about this story ! you should go read it

frame plan/explanation under the cut in case the drawings are unclear (they are):

I … want to know about the Chuck E Cheese party

Party is a bit of a stretch. No, we were all set to try to hit up a park (despite google saying they all had ten thousand more people than usual at them because eclipse) and then one person was like, “We should go to Chuck E Cheese.” 

And because it’s 2017, somehow everyone agreed that this was the thing to do and we ended up at Chuck E Cheese. Where I proceeded to have a fabulous time playing skee-ball (that was called something else), guitar hero, some weird snowmobile racing game, a Jurassic Park dinosaur rescue game where you shoot the dinos with “tranquilizer dart guns” that sound exactly like regular guns. 

Also, we critiqued the acting of the staff member who played Chuck E Cheese for the party. 

Slow. 

A slow smile. Not lazy but slow and blazing hot.Leia's eyes were fire and Han knew, he knew, she was in control now. Without reservation and without any argument from him.

“Come here,” she said, crooking a finger. 

He tried to maintain his confident swagger, but the way she was staring at him made it tough. “You issuing royal decrees?” he asked. His voice was tight, strained.

Leia in charge was a thing of beauty, Leia in charge was like hanging onto a hurtling speeder: you just hoped you survived the experience and then desperately wanted to do it again.  

“Absolutely,” she said. 

Wrapping her arms around him, Leia leaned into his chest and walked him backwards to the chair behind him. He sat, hands on her hips as she climbed astride him and she pushed her fingers through his hair. 

Using her grip on his hair, she tilted his head back and rose up so she was taller than him. “Any requests?” she asked. “Before you start obeying?”

Han watched her eyes, not feeling diminished in the least. “Not a single one,” he answered. “Go for it.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
