Well, seeing as we have no Fanfic Ideas, Recommendations, and Discussions Threads yet, I decided to create one for Star Wars. The Legends timeline is ripe for plenty of fanfics after all.
Fanfics:
Old Man Luke by scarletjedi
Star Wars: A new Hope will emerge by AndrewJTalon
Star Wars : Order One
Silbing Revelry by frodogenic
Quests:
Skywalker for Senator by Noxlux013
The prose is good, the rolls are ridiculously good, and the author prefers to draw on the Legends Expanded Universe rather than the ST.
Still, I'd like to read a omake where the Mandalorian (from the show) visites Tatooine, just to see the contrast between each incarnation.

Fanfics:
Old Man Luke by scarletjedi
As the title and summary imply, this fic is about ST Luke being present in the PT somehow. I have read only up to chapter 6, but I enjoyed it thus far.Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked, hoping a direct question would yield answers. The old man seemed adept at side-stepping information when asked a bit more deftly. “I’ve never heard of a Master with your level of talent.”
The old man seemed surprised. “If you’ve never heard of one like me, then what good would my name be? You wouldn’t know it.”
Obi-Wan felt a flare of irritation, and quickly squashed it. The old man blinked, as if he hadn’t expected to feel that, and he smiled, sadly. “My name is Luke,” he said, as if a peace offering.
The force trilled in his ear, and Obi-Wan frowned. "Luke what?" He asked, and the old man, this Luke, smiled wryly.
"Luke Skywalker.”
Star Wars: A new Hope will emerge by AndrewJTalon
This fic is a response to the Sequel Trilogy, and starts right after the end of "The Empire Strikes back". Luke is confronted by Ahsoka Tahno who offers to train him in Lightsaber combat to better prepare himself against the next duel with Darth Vader. I like it for its prose being good, and the exploration of what the trilogy might be like if characters from the EU were allowed to appear in the movies proper.Because fuck the Disney movies.
Star Wars : Order One
Err, I like this story, but I will be the first one to admit that it can be fairly depressing with many characters falling left and right, and the state of things being worse for the subjects of the Empire. Mostly because the kaminonians decided to rise against Palpatine and field their own clone army along with cloned Jedis (many of whom are characters from the Legends EU). It is still worth a read.Officially there never was a Clone Rebellion on Kamino. Unofficially...
Silbing Revelry by frodogenic
To finish the fanfic recommendations on a lighter note, I present Silbing Revelry, a comedy where Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker learns of the relationship between Luke and Leia, and promptly panics because they seem to be much closer than it is proper for silbings. Thus he tries to prevent that from happening by running schemes and plans to keep them seperated. Meanwhile, the silbings learn on their own, but Vader doesn't realize this. It was fairly amusing last time I've read it, I really should read it again.After Bespin and before Endor, Darth Vader is shocked to discover that Luke and Leia are twins. He's even more shocked when Imperial Intelligence reports that Organa and Skywalker are, erm, a tad closer than previously suspected. Humor, mild AU.
Quests:
Skywalker for Senator by Noxlux013
In this quest, the readers participate in the rise of Luke Skywalker as the administrator of Tatooine and later the system it is placed in.Ever wished Luke did something before A New Hope? Padme, Anakin, and even Leia did some pretty impressive stuff before they were nineteen years old. But Luke? According to canon he was playing with his space ship models and blasting Womp Rats in his Skyhopper. To be fair, there isn't much to do on Tatooine. Or is there?
The prose is good, the rolls are ridiculously good, and the author prefers to draw on the Legends Expanded Universe rather than the ST.

Vader's Vacation by Quasispatial
Sadly a dead quest, the readers take on the mantle of Darth Vader who has been ordered by Palpatine to take a vacation. The readers immedially voted for Alderaan. It only got more interestening from there, and despite the temptation of making the quest crack, the author took an effort to portray the choices and plotline in a serious way.It has been a number of years since the fall of the Republic; since the rise of the Empire.
You are Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith and Supreme Commander of the Imperial military. You are feared throughout the galaxy, and rightly so, for many a Jedi, many a Rebel have fallen to your crimson blade. You also have a slight, very minor problem. After a certain incident involving a bioweapon, yourself and a number of civilian transports, you have caused a bit of a setback for several of your master's schemes. In an attempt to get you out of the way for a while (and to try to pacify an increasingly begging-to-be-strangled senate), His Majesty has given you a deceptively simple command.
You are to take a... vacation.
