Several months ago I compiled this list of post-winter/Silver Lake fics, and at that time, I said I would eventually try to transfer it all over to Ao3 in a bookmark or collection of some sort.
✨TODAY IS FINALLY THE DAY ✨
Post Pages: An After Silver Lake Fic Repository
I have made a Last of Us Ao3 Collection specifically for those fill-in-the-blank fics we all crave.
It is currently an open but moderated collection, so come join and add to it with me! I have bookmarked folks' fics from the OG list into the collection, but also please feel free to go in and add your own works directly to the collection! The more the merrier!
I will also be bookmarking new 8ers that I see on ao3 into the collection too. If this collection starts to pop off, maybe (BIG MAYBE I am bad at follow through) I will do a round up at the end of each month highlighting the new additions.
When adding/bookmarking a work into the Collection it should pop up pretty quickly if you type "Post Pages" :)
HAPPY READING!
[Side note: Yes, I know the name is lowkey horrible but I tried??]

I was watching the Blindwave reaction to the Ahsoka s1 finale, and one of them observed that Sabine being in tune with the Force— when she parried back each blaster when she was saving Ezra against a zombie Night Trooper accurately when before this she had a challenging time— seems to work when she’s protecting someone else, like Ezra.
When she’s protecting Ezra, she can do feats, and the more she’s able to do something well, the more confident she becomes in her abilities.
Which was the point Yoda has said before when he trained Luke in Dagobah.
LUKE: (focusing, quietly) All right, I'll give it a try.
YODA: No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Luke closes his eyes and concentrates on thinking the ship out.
Slowly, the X-wing's nose begins to rise above the water. It hovers for a moment and then slides back, disappearing once again.
LUKE: (panting heavily) I can't. It's too big.
YODA: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hm? Mmmm.
Luke shakes his head.
YODA: And well you should not. For my ally in the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we... (Yoda pinches Luke's shoulder) ... not this crude matter.
(a sweeping gesture) You must feel the Force around you. (gesturing) Here, between you... me... the tree... the rock... everywhere! Yes, even between this land and that ship!
LUKE: (discouraged) You want the impossible.
Quietly Yoda turns toward the X-wing fighter. With his eyes closed and
his head bowed, he raises his arm and points at the ship. Soon, the fighter rises above the water and moves forward as Artoo beeps in terror and scoots away.
The entire X-wing moves majestically, surely, toward the shore. Yoda stands on a tree root and guides the fighter carefully down toward the beach. Luke stares in astonishment as the fighter settles down onto the shore.
He walks toward Yoda.
LUKE: I don't... I don't believe it.
YODA: That is why you fail.
—-
Sabine won’t be lifting ships, but she can deflect blasters to save a friend, to complete a mission, and she can help push Ezra into a ship that’s going back into their home galaxy.
That, she can do for him.
She’s not gonna make it happen. She will make it happen.
(Although you can see even if Sabine powered him half way, she still fell a little short, fortunately, Ezra is also a Force user and he can pull himself in the last few meters).
And as Yoda said, a large part about using the Force is belief.
The moment Sabine moved her Saber and drew it to her, she knew she can use the Force. Once she knew she can use the Force, she exert a little more effort to help Ezra across. She believed she can. She had to, every second the Chimera moved away was a second from Sabine failing to fulfill her promise to bring Ezra home.
Sabine had to help Ezra with a Force push because otherwise he would plummet to his death.
In this specific instance there is “Do or do not.” and nothing in between.
For someone else, for someone she loves, Sabine can do the impossible.
