a recognition, a reframing by CompletelyDifferent for ladyshadowdrake

Summary
In East Asia, omegas are generally placed on pedestal for their superior beauty and wisdom, with the more brash and reckless alphas expected to act as their body-guards and protectors.
In Europe, the stronger, fiercer, and more intelligent alphas are expected to keep their meek and emotional omegas on a tight leash.
This means the prospect of safely guiding Captain William Laurence, his dragon, and his crew safely from East to West is one that will require a very careful balancing act. Especially since Tharkay is apparently the only man in their party who even knows Laurence is an omega.

Summary
Boba's own hair has begun to grow back in, he’s recently discovered. It is a little patchy now, but as it gets longer, it will cover up the scars and the gaps. He pulls his hand through Din’s in the meantime and watches him shift his cheek against the bedclothes.
The galaxy has taught him the name for what he feels when he looks at him these days. It has also taught him that he is not allowed to have that thing.
If he does, it will be taken away.
(Boba and Fennec find each other and then Din, and Boba struggles to let himself have the kindness that comes his way.)

The Cowboy’s Interchronometric Guide To Pining by kaph, RocksCanFly

Summary
A late night hunt goes awry when Arthur and Charles are chased across the tracks cutting through the border of the Heartlands and Lemoyne, when a ghostly train barrels right into, or rather, through them. Somehow, they find themselves separated and ten years in the past.
Arthur finds himself looking after a teenage Charles, who's more of an angry, scrawny kitten than the calm, skillful hunter he knows so well.
On the other end, Charles comes face to face with a young Arthur who is smug, cocky, and a flirt.
(A cowboy's practical guide to time-travel, adolescent social services, and falling in love)

Summary
Cody smiled.
Rex knew that smile. It was the same smile that appeared on his own face every time he heard a young girl’s voice or caught a whiff of metal and oil. It was the same smile that graced Bly’s own face after every one of his breakups. It was the same smile on so many of his siblings’ faces as they all realized that something was missing.
The war was over. Palpatine was exposed as the mastermind and killed. The Clone Rights Bill was passed. The Clones are free to do whatever they want. So why can't most of the clones settle? Why does something feel wrong. Why does something feel missing ?

Summary
The year is 1942 and after more than a century of relative peace, Europe has been thrown into war once again. As Britain begins to enter the conflict, Temeraire finds himself in the middle of dozens of people, offices, and even governments that wish to solicit his advice on how to best end this war before it consumes the world. However, he feels overwhelmed by this responsibility and wants nothing more than to retire from the public eye even as he knows that's not truly an option.
It was a average autumn day when Temeraire took some time to visit the resting spot of his dearly departed companion. And it was at this time, when Temeraire wished for nothing more than to have his steady guidance once more in his life, that the impossible happened.
A miracle made flesh.
William Laurence has been brought back from the dead; just as Britain, and Temeraire, needs him the most.Bookmarked by Counterklock

Summary
Their first act of rebellion might just be their last.
They were distracted when the wrecked ship suddenly made a groaning noise. The metal whined as if something bent it, moving it. But that was not possible. It should not be possible. Both rebels froze as their eyes locked onto the origin of the noise. Blaster fire halted as everyone watched the ship with confusion and interest.
A hand punched through the rubble, catching the attention of both the troopers as well as the rebels. The figure pulled themselves up slowly, climbing out on top of the wreckage.
A copper haired humanoid man, dressed in robes and white battle armour stood on top of the rubble. The sigil on his shoulder proudly bearing the symbol of the Jedi Order which fell so long ago. With his features almost shining in the dim light, his eyes glowed blue but seemed glazed over, unseeing but drawn to the light regardless.
That was a Jedi.
“...General Kenobi?”
They flinched violently when the Jedi turned his gaze in their direction. Blue glowing eyes aimed in their direction but not quite on them, like the Jedi could not see them.

Summary
He’s looking at the desk so he doesn’t have to look at the body under the desk, crumpled and smaller than it has any right to be. There’s no blood, because he’d shot him with a blaster, but the room smells faintly of burned flesh and fabric and wood. He licks his lips and considers the Chancellor’s staring eyes, pale yellow in the light streaming through his office windows.
Behind him, Thorn curses. “Fuck.”
Fox nods. “Do you think we can hide it in the closet?”
“Do you think we can - no, we cannot hide the Chancellor of the Republic’s body in a closet. Someone is going to start missing him.”
--
Fox shoots Palpatine. He would love to think that this fixes everything - peace can be declared, his brothers can stop fighting, people might give his Guard a modicum of respect - but he's worked the Senate long enough to know that the man wasn't the only one who wanted this war to drag on forever.
They can't let the rest of the world know that Sheev Palpatine died in his office. It's fine. Everything is fine. Fox has been on Coruscant long enough to know how to put on a show, and he knows more about the man than anyone else. They can do this.
They don't have a choice.

Summary
Temeraire is dead.
Temeraire is dead, and Laurence’s reason for living along with him. He stumbles on, day by day, conscious of the concern of his friends and family, yet unable to care.
Until an unexpected letter leads Laurence to something even more unexpected still: a child.
What a Chinese orphan is doing on the streets of Edinburgh is anyone’s guess, including the orphan's. Tharkay, for his part, suspects foul play. Laurence can see all that is sensible in the man’s suspicions, yet once again he cannot bring himself to care. Not when the child reminds him so very strongly of that which he’s lost.

Working for Jabba the Hutt as a contracted bounty hunter isn’t exactly what his childhood self had in mind for his life in a world post-Windu. He has designs on something bigger eventually, but for now, the pay is good, the work is steady, and the entertainment is…entertaining.
Recently, he’s been drawn to Jabba’s newest novelty: a mystic.

Summary
The battlefield is no place for a lady
So no one would expect to see you there
And if you use this trick to your advantage, girl
You'll cut them to their knees as if in prayerHannah’s eyes flicked to her. “He said you’re a good captain. I thought maybe he just thinks so ‘cause you’re his captain.”
“Oh, he very much says so because I’m his captain,” Sophie said, oddly cheered at the thought of Excidium talking her up to a surly, suspicious child, “but I try.”
What does it mean to be a female aviator before, during, and after the Napoleonic Wars? A lifetime of balancing acts, living on the periphery, carving out space that would not be granted otherwise. Excidium has many companions, not all of them Rolands, but each of them connected, and all beloved.
Five generations of aviators: their triumphs, their struggles, their friendships, loved ones and those who opposed them, their times of celebration and moments of pain and loneliness, viewed backwards through the years.

Summary
“How’d you get stuck with babysitting duty anyway?” Boba asked one day during dinner.
“Oh, I volunteered for this,” Fox told him.
“Why the kark would you do that?”
“Language,” Fox admonished. “Well, I was just living my normal boring life and I thought to myself, ‘I don’t get called an ugly piece of banthashit often enough.’ So I decided to adopt you.”
Boba snorted. “You’re a psychopath,” he told Fox.
“I’ve been called worse,” Fox replied breezily.
Boba doesn’t find a new family and Fox doesn’t become anybody’s dad; an adoption story.

Summary
In 4 ABY, Darth Vader lies dying, overwhelmed with regret at the impossibility of atoning for all that he’d done—it was impossible to fix, to undo; no apology would ever be sufficient. But nothing was impossible for him, merely difficult.
In 32 BBY, ten-year-old Anakin Skywalker wakes up as Darth Vader, his mind overwritten by the consciousness of his future self. In one day, Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi loses his Master, gains the confusing and concerning friendship of a 46-year-old (ex-)Sith Lord temporarily trapped in a child’s body, and is pulled along on his desperate mission to save the galaxy.
