canon-compliant Leia drabbles

anghraineI know, shocking, but I've been fangirling Leia lately and for some reason felt the need to write about her c. ROTJ. Canon-compliantly. And by canon, I don't (mostly) mean 'doesn't actively contradict canon' but canon.
It's kind of disconcerting, really.
-----------------------
Title: Real Mothers
Fanverse: canon-compliant, c. ROTJ (THE ALIENS MADE ME DO IT)
Blurb: Do you remember your mother -- your real mother?
Pairings/warnings: none
Length: half a drabble! (48 words)
-----------------------
Leia understands what Luke meant by the phrase, and responded appropriately, but she never speaks of real mothers herself.
Her mother was Jaina Organa, Queen Breha of Alderaan – and before her, Padmé Naberrie, Senator Amidala of Naboo. Neither was her real mother.
They were her mothers. Full stop.
------------------------
Title: Always Known
Fanverse: canon-compliant
Blurb: Leia isn't surprised to discover that she and Luke are twins: just relieved.
Pairings/warnings: a hint of incestuous feelings, butno more rather less than canon
Length: drabble (98 words)
-------------------------
Leia was drawn to Luke from the first, in a quiet, persistent way entirely unlike her attraction to Han.
She never fancied him (much), but she still wished they could always -- almost always -- be together, hated when the war separated them, and felt almost mad with terror when he was in danger and she couldn’t look out for him.
She didn’t suspect the truth, as such, but when Luke said “my sister,” she only felt surprise that she hadn’t guessed it before. Really, how could he be anything but her little brother?
-------------------------
Title: Affinity
Fanverse: canon-compliant
Blurb: Leia admires strength.
Pairings/warnings: none
Length: drabble (139 words)
-------------------------
Leia always hated the imperial court: the duplicity and infighting and general treachery. Tarkin was little different from the others -- simply the worst of an already despicable crowd.
The only one she felt even a grudging respect for was Darth Vader, of all people. As a child, she’d rather admired him: he was bold, fearless, uncompromising, and he could stop blaster bolts with his mind. Later, of course, she realised that he was also evil and chillingly deranged. She could never admire him again -- but an odd, reluctant respect continued to twist its way through her revulsion.
He had real strength, real power, and Leia liked to imagine that someday, she would have as much. More.
Luke has only to hint around the subject once or twice before Leia asks him to teach her the ways of the Force.
It's kind of disconcerting, really.
