Summary
Catherine said, "Jane told me that she'd mentioned it to you, though it was when you and Temeraire had first come to Loch Laggan. More than a decade ago, good heavens."
"Mentioned what to me?" Laurence asked, still vaguely concerned about the flush on Harcourt's cheeks.
"Well. About you... that is, us, to secure future companions for Lily and Temeraire..." Harcourt wouldn't meet his eyes, stammering uncharacteristically. "Not to say that it would only be an obligation, of course! You truly are a dear friend, Laurence, and I'd trust you with this more than anyone. You and Mr. Tharkay both, since I know there could never be one involved and not the other..."
Laurence felt an odd prickle upon the back of his neck, the beginnings of a suspicion-- ungentlemanly to even consider-- and found himself asking, voice gone a bit rough. "Harcourt-- Catherine. Please, I beg you speak freely, for I am always at your service. What is it you would ask of me?"
Harcourt's green eyes were wide, and Laurence had never noticed just how many flecks of gold they contained. She held his gaze and the prickling sensation, like ghostly fingertips, intensified.
"I'd ask you for a baby, Will."

Summary
The year is 1802. Europe holds its breath as the scales of international stability, wobbling from the ascension of Napoleon Bonaparte to power in a revolution-torn France, begin an irreversible tilt towards war.
England has long stood in opposition to the revolutionary wars that have continuously reshaped their nearest neighbor on the Continent. Now, as conflict seems inevitable, England's Aerial Corps hears the call to service; new recruits are badly needed, both human and newly hatched dragons. One such new recruit is nine-year-old Stanford Pines, one of three sons and one of two twins, sent from home for being... different.
Ford soon begins to find his own place among the eccentric ranks of aviators and dragons-- and he isn't half of a dynamic duo for long.
The Pines and their dragon companions endure as the Napoleonic Wars rage. Conflict among themselves, regrets, and the influence of a renegade French officer named Guillaume or "Bill" Rift and his impressive dragon, Cipher, threaten to tear them apart.
But stubbornness runs in this family, and also this: when they choose to stand, they plant their feet and stand. Side by side. And if they should fall? Well. They fall where they stand.

Summary
Finrod Felagund, unable to erase the final consequences of his heroic death to save Beren in ages long past, is released from the Halls of Mandos. He is still counted among the Firstborn, yes, but that is no longer ALL he is, and any creature carrying the dark touch of Morgoth, no matter how bright his own Fëa, cannot reside in the Blessed Realm.
The Halls of Nàmo, Nienna's wisdom, and even Manwe's power cannot heal him. All that remains for Finrod is to return to Middle Earth and seek what healing and peace he may in Arda Marred, with aid of the greatest healer to be found on either shore and the descendant of the Man he fatally fought a werewolf to save: Elrond Peredhel, the Lord of Imladris.
The Last Homely House is said to be a refuge that welcomes and comforts all. But can even such a place become a home for Finrod Felagund of the House of Finwë, if he is also the last of Gorthaur's werewolves?

Summary
A sandstorm on Tatooine sends Ben Kenobi through the bedrock and into a highland that has no place on any map – where Qui-Gon Jinn has been waiting, alive and entirely himself, for what feels to him like a single morning. A reunion of confusions and bittersweetness ensues.
They have nowhere to be and no way home. They fall in with a column of nomadic traders and begin to walk.
It takes approximately two months, sixty strangers, and one very opinionated small fox-cat for Obi-Wan Kenobi to accept that some things filed under later have, in fact, arrived.OR:
A man who has spent seven years in the desert learning not to want things is given back the one thing he wanted most. He handles this with characteristic composure.
He does not handle it with characteristic composure.Bookmarked by Carcharothiel

Summary
As if the current state of Mandalorian politics wasn't bad enough, Boba and Din somehow find themselves caught up in a power struggle from sixty years ago.
They have to create a better future for Mandalorians everywhere. It's a job that Din doesn't want, a culture that Boba doesn't claim, and a future that Jaster Mereel never lived to see.
Any changes they make could jeopardize the reality that Din and Boba want to return to– but is that worth letting Mandalore fall all over again?

William Laurence, third son of Lord and Lady Allendale, has been adrift in the world since his failed career start in His Majesty’s Navy. In an attempt to gain a foothold as candidate for Stable Master in his family's legacy as one of the top Thoroughbred yards in the nation, he takes on the seemingly straightforward task of a business trip to the far-flung island of Thisby, where supposedly, an eccentric horseman has managed to introduce the fabled capaill uisce into his breeding stock bloodlines. However, as the autumn tides turn, the island’s facade begins to crumble and Thisby’s true nature reveals itself. Laurence’s life is thrown into upheaval when unforeseen circumstances bring him to enter in this year's race, and he must capture a water horse of his own: a reckless undertaking that could cost him his life.

Summary
On a protection detail gone wrong, Obi-Wan discovers an incredibly inconvenient fact about the current state of his health.
-
"Qui-Gon," Obi-Wan says through gritted teeth, gripping his lightsabre tightly in both hands as he glares down the few pirates still blocking their access to the cockpit. Behind them, he can see the door cracked open ever-so-slightly, one of Anakin’s eyes glinting in the gap, watching the fight cautiously. "I'm going to have a baby."
Qui-Gon shoots him an incredulous look as he comes to stand shoulder to shoulder with Obi-Wan now that they only have blaster fire to contend with, keeping the Ty’Lacin covered behind them. "I don't think this is the most appropriate place for this discussion, darling," he replies, a little terse and a lot winded. “I’m glad you want that with me, but now is rather—"
Obi-Wan shakes his head, swinging his sabre to deflect a blaster bolt that had been rudely fired straight at his head. "You misunderstand, alpha mine," he grunts, dropping a hand from his sabre to his stomach with a flushed wince. His leggings are uncomfortably wet now. "I'm going to have a baby. Right now."
