Summary
“Prauf couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen a child, if he ever had it would have been before the Empire. Families just weren’t a thing that happened in these parts, and no one in their right - or even wrong - mind would ever subjugate a child to life on Bracca. It was wrong, it didn’t happen. So how was one sitting right in front of him?”
OR
When Prauf comes across a mysterious, crying child in an alcove, he hardly expects them to become his work partner - let alone roommate. But life has a funny way of working out, and somehow through many trials and tribulations, this quiet kid worms his way into Prauf’s heart, making him care about someone in a way he never thought he could. He will protect this kid, if it’s the last thing he ever does.

Summary
The sequel to You Think You're Lost But You're Not Lost Alone.
Three years ago, Cal Kestis made the foolish decision to accept a mission on Coruscant that nearly led to his death. Thanks to the efforts of five unlikely teammates turned friends, he's been able to build a life on a planet safe from the Empire and impossible to find, allowing the Galaxy and those that looked to him as a symbol of hope to believe he is dead at the hands of the Empire. It isn't the journey he wanted for himself but it is the path that life placed him on—at least until he discovers that the man responsible for his imprisonment by the Empire, Bode Akuna, has captured his friends with the intent to end their lives unless Cal turns himself over.
Three years ago, Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla agreed to form a team and risk everything to save Cal from certain death.
Now it's time for Cal to return the favor.

Summary
“See you.” She offered him a smile and waved daintily.
As he turned to leave, he hoped she couldn’t see the smile that came upon him that he knew was useless to resist.
Omega. Indeed, he would be hoping to see her around wherever he went on Pabu.
― ―
One year from Omega’s freedom from the Empire, life couldn’t be better. She gets to be with family and friends without interruption, and Pabu is home. But one day, a new person comes to her island. A boy. A boy who she feels particularly drawn to, one that shows her friendliness and that welcomes the same from her. A boy who also happens to know about things that Omega would rather forget about completely, like evading the Empire and using the Force.
Cal Kestis meant for his trip to Pabu only to be a reset after time spent warring against the Empire. It was only meant to be a vacation on a picturesque island. He didn’t mean to meet a girl who he would instantly form a crush on. He didn’t mean to dig up old memories that were better left untouched. Above all, he definitely didn’t mean to discover the existence of a girl clone, much less get swept up into a romance with her.
Or: Cal and Omega heal together while growing ever closer.

Summary
When Jedi fugitive Cal Kestis is injured while being spontaneous with the woman he’s afraid to love, he’s hurled across alternate realities—each one offering a glimpse of the life they could have had together. As he journeys through these worlds, from academy students, to warzones, from strangers to royals to fatherhood, Cal is forced to confront what he’s been running from: enjoying the little moments in life, and the very love that might save him.
In every universe, it's always you.
Aka Cal jumps through many unique universes and learns what it means to Live and Love.

Cal Kestis Needs More Comfort by rouii

Summary
i want to write Cal Kestis stuff with him being comforted and loved but. angst is always fun. who doesn't love a bit of hurt/no comfort. i think this will just be vaguely linked one-shots since im getting back into writing for the first time in a while. ...also Kata Akuna stuff because the more i think the more i want to write about her but she'll come secondary to Cal lol
started writing ideas for this prior to finishing Jedi Survivor which was a mistake. lol. there is so much more angst to be had once i'd finished it. also spoilers for Fallen Order and Survivor if that wasn't clear.

Summary
Five years after the Purge, fugitive padawan Cal Kestis has been keeping his head down as a scrapper on Bracca, eking out a lonely existence undercover. By a trick of the fates, (or the meddling of the Force) he becomes acquainted with Jagannath, a mysterious Zabrak on the run from the Empire, who may or may not be Darth Maul under another name.
When a workplace accident blows his cover, Cal escapes Bracca with the help of this reluctant ally, discovering the ex-Sith’s true identity in the process. Rescued by a pair of freedom fighters, Cal is quickly roped into an elaborate plan to restore the Jedi Order, dragging an unwilling Maul along for the ride. What follows is a quest of epic proportions, taking the motley, squabbling crew clear across the galaxy as they work to acquire a Jedi holocron containing crucial information, running up against Inquisitors, crime syndicates, reanimated corpses, ornery wildlife, and some very questionable meatloaf along the way.
As the Force sits back with a bowl of popcorn to watch the ensuing madness, it is painfully clear that the course of galactic history will never be the same again.

Summary
Cal had been alone for so long. His master, his friends, his people. Everyone he'd ever loved had been taken from him, ripped right out of his grasp. Cal was older now, stronger now. He had a family again, people he could trust again.
The Force, of course, works in mysterious ways. He wasn't expecting his past life to find his current one. Especially not like this.

Summary
He was in the dark. His eyes were open, but he couldn’t see anything, it was pure black.
Then suddenly, the sound of a lightsaber, a red blade appearing.
It illuminated the once dark room, he looked down, finding his body strapped to one of the Empires torture chairs.
The red blade drew closer, revealing its owner…Darth
Vader
Cal moved desperately in his chair, trying to get out but he knew there was no use. The figure came closer, holding the blade closer and closer to his chest.
“I could plunge this saber through your chest, and be done with you, boy,” He seethed. “Or…you can succumb to the dark side.”
Cal looked into his eyes, he knew he was showing fear, he couldn’t help it, but he knew what his master would have wanted. “N-no.”
~~~
Cal was kidnapped by the Empire as a child after the fall of the Order and made to be an inquisitor. He gets taken in by Cere and Greez and is trying to change his ways and forget about what happened to him. But then, he runs into a familiar face--Second Sister--and she wants him back.

Summary
Cal is really not sure how he got here. It’s not like he’s the chosen one. But, dank farrik, he’s going to do his best—even if that means a few panic attacks and breakdowns along the way. Honestly though, with his track record, he’s not so sure he's the best person to do this. The Empire was one thing, but this…this is not something he knows how to handle. How can a time-travelling 23—now 10-year-old—stop a—no—the galactic war?

Summary
Cal wasn’t usually the kind to take breaks, but it was nice to spend time with the crew when they weren’t running for their lives. Not that being chased didn’t have its moments. It could be fun sometimes, in a reckless barely-get-out-alive kind of way. But this time had been a bit too close to the ‘barely’ and even Cal had to admit that.
While the recovery from Nur continues, Cal struggles with the past. Cal and Merrin find a quiet moment on a beautiful planet and take in the galaxy.
