Fics like I'm Gonna Bruise You

It's the 1950s and Luke Skywalker is struggling with problems both at home and in his personal life. His father wants him to follow in his footsteps, a path he doesn't want to take, and he isn't willing to take no for an answer. And while his household is a wreck, full of screaming matches between his sister and father, he's found himself falling for his best friend, Han. The Summer ahead of them feels infinite and terrifying, and Luke isn't sure he'll make it to the next school year in one piece. -- "He turned to Han and found rather than staring at Leia, he was focused on Luke. They locked eyes and Han turned back to the road, smiling out at the path ahead. In the split second he’d caught him, Luke had been held paralyzed by his gaze. The air rushed past his ears and Leia’s laughter seemed distant, and Luke felt so infinitely small. There was so much life in him, screams of his own still bouncing around his chest, potential that longed to break free. He watched Han. The moment clung onto him, Han’s eyes staring deep into his own. He was afraid of himself, shaking with every emotion welling up inside of him. He’d never been so afraid of what he knew he could do. To reach out and touch, to hold."
