Oh, wow, all of my various headcanons about Anakin and Padme getting to raise their kids! So many ways that could have gone!
You're welcome for the rec! Based on your comment below, though, I may have to warn you about the comments section of the fics, though I haven't read them in a while--- something that IIRC was getting regularly discussed in the overall fannish environment in which I discovered those fics--- which was around a decade ago--- was that the general fannish vibe was that in canon, Han, Leia and Luke (and Mara) did not spend nearly enough time with each other and their kids and that irnan's fics were part of a fixit-fic environment of giving them... well, basically, the kind of normal, everything's chill, happytimes you've described. So there's a chunk of the fandom that doesn't necessarily see Legends-canon-sequel stories as having been all that wonderful especially for the family Skywalker. (For reference about my particular POV: as I said above, I noped right out of the Legends-canon-sequelverse when the Kevin J. Anderson books started coming, and in fact several friends warned me as a Luke/Mara shipper to back away, and the fics I linked and maybe some others that I don't recall are most of my interaction with Legends-sequelverse.) That said, based on your description of your next-gen oc's as lighthearted fun I think you will enjoy the fics themselves!
Yeah, I can see stopping with ROTJ. NGL, I got a lot of my fannish wishes fulfilled by the new-ST, both in terms of Star Wars specifically and stories generally (see elsethread where I mentioned that to annathecrow) in ways that, frankly, Legends does not do for me, but when I got back into what was then SW canon that decade ago, I was perfectly happy to play around in the PT without much in the way of sequel material.
