Summary
“Hang on,” Mace said. “What was that?”
“What was what?” Knight Sei asked.
“That part about being trapped in the caves forever. Why did you say it like that?”
Knight Sei flicked a quick glance at their watching audience, and said, still smiling, “Well, the waterfall will freeze once the sun is no longer hitting the crystal above us. So they need to be quick about finding their kyber, or they’ll be stuck on the other side of the ice.”
“I’m sorry,” Mace said. “Why would you tell them this?”
“Knight Sei’s smile became a little fixed. “It’s standard policy, Master Windu.”
“What is? Scaring kids?”
Or: Mace realizes that raising the first child doesn’t mean you are in any way prepared for the second one.

Summary
It was only now, once the unremarkable wooden box was in her possession, that he realized he probably should have wrapped it.
...Not that he knew how to wrap things. He should have at least tied a ribbon around the thing, or something.
Or: 5 times Mace gave Depa a gift, and 1 time Depa gave Mace a gift.

Coruscant
Current time
“Master Windu,” Yoda said firmly, “explain to the Council your latest mission, you should."
Every action you took was reasonable and calculated, Mace told himself.
If he kept telling himself that, maybe he could make it sound convincing enough for the Council.
Or: Mace tries to keep one step ahead of Palpatine.

Summary
Mace was tired, and he hadn’t slept enough to rid himself of the headache he’d fallen asleep with, but he supposed that Sith, even baby ones (especially baby ones?) delighted in being inconvenient like that. Asking for a few more hours before they talked would probably be met with derision.
Or: Mace strikes a deal.

Summary
This series is based on suzukiblu’s MWUTT AU headcannons. Hey, suzukiblu! Thanks for sharing something that got me so excited that I wanted to write! Check out suzukiblu’s tag: https://suzukiblu.tumblr.com/tagged/mace%20windu%20unfucks%20the%20timeline.
Credit goes to both my friend (Sapphira11 on ao3) and my siblings, who egged me on and helped with the editing.
I am planning on writing a series of oneshots, so feel free to subscribe to the series! I’m hoping to publish a oneshot every month.

voluntary security training by thetimesinbetween
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
04 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Seth was not satisfied with ART's explanation that the whole incident was “voluntary security training” (correct), “a learning experience for all of us” (ugh), or “possibly a form of bonding between SecUnits” (double ugh). So now Three and I had to have a meeting with Seth, Karime, and ART, plus Iris, who was sitting in to "listen and learn." I could have asked Mensah to talk her way in as an expert mediator or something, but let’s be real, I’m not going to do that.
(No, Mensah hadn't joined ART's crew. We were on our way back to Mihira, and she and her second-eldest had come along to visit Amena, who was studying at PSUMNT. Well, that's what she'd said. Clearly, they were also visiting me.)
(This was not really a great time to get in trouble for shooting someone, is what I’m saying.)

Finding Your Way In an Unfriendly Universe by IHopedTheredBeStars
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
15 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
I find the character of SecUnit 03, a.k.a. Three, intriguing from a storytelling perspective. It is ‘tabula rasa’ in ways that Murderbot is not and cannot be. This takes place during the little-described period of waiting at the end of Network Effect, and will almost certainly be non-canon after System Collapse comes out.
Heed the tags. Three will find its way in the end (because that is how I roll), but it has not escaped the Corporation Rim unscathed. There will be pain, fear, self-doubt, depression, and one very bad decision as Three stumbles its way out of the past.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!
