Summary
“I found this when my grandmother passed, and we went through her attic,” a small Tholothian woman says, holding out a bundle wrapped in flimsi-tissue. Luke Skywalker takes it, curious. “My mother says– well, it was made at the Temple, by a Jedi. My grandmother must have hidden it when— well. We don’t know the name of the Jedi who made it, but I thought you might like to have it, Master Skywalker.”

Summary
You're fine being locked up, really. It keeps you safe, it keeps everyone else safe. Keeps you from fucking everything up again. Keeps you from falling in love with another girl who sticks a knife in you. It's smart. It's good. Everything's fine and even if it's not, it's never gonna change, right? You're not getting out any time soon.
Then she comes to you.

"Hot chocolate and Choco Liebenz, bread and wine, candles and connection. It’s all a sort of sacrament in the end"

Summary
There’s something here, between the three of them, Lockwood isn’t that oblivious. He knows George hasn’t just stuck around all this time because of his passion for the Agency they’re building. He knows Lucy wears the necklace he gave her every day. He knows the two of them get on better than he ever could have asked for, and that their closeness always makes Lockwood kind of breathless and giddy in a way he doesn’t know how to manage. What he doesn’t know is what they want from him. He doesn’t know how the thing they’ve all been circling around can ever get resolved, when Lockwood doesn’t know how to let people in the way they deserve.

Bookmarker's Notes
"Princess purred louder, content. Tonight she was home, and tomorrow she’d go home again – for she was a cat of many homes and many names, and things were good."
A ghost cat revisits the many humans she had known in life, and new ones besides.
