Summary
“Please, can’t we get just one competent government?” a man sighed as he received his fifth funding request back, unopened.
There was nothing special about this man. His name was Irdo Gyrk, originally hailing from Chandrila before his need to “see the galaxy” sent him rushing off to the nearest space port, and then his need to eat sent him into the arms of the first steady job he could find. In all, Irdo Gyrk was a plain, unassuming, and all together unimportant man, who worked as a minor assistant to some equally unimportant bureaucrat.
This man was just like any other man, this day just like any other day, and his words just like any other low-level government employee frustrated with the slow-turning cogs of bureaucracy. The difference, of course, is that this time, someone was listening.
That someone was the Force, and it was an asshole.

Summary
“You what?” Nancy’s shriek was truly a work of art. One Paz definitely wouldn’t go to the exhibit for, but a work of art nonetheless.
“Joker. Dead. I killed him.”
How many times was Paz going to have to go over this? This was only technically the second person, and she was already exhausted. She hadn’t even called her mother back yet. Maybe if she made cards? She could just hand them out when people inevitably asked her. No, that sounded too much like business cards for a hit-man. Well, if college didn’t work out, that was an option. Paz was a proven dead shot now. Sure, she’d definitely die immediately, but someone would probably pay her pretty well to do it.
“That is the hottest thing you’ve ever said to me,” Nancy informed her matter-of-factly.
______________
If you were to make a list of the entire population of Gotham, in order of most to least likely to finally kill the Joker, a random—objectively unqualified—college student wouldn’t even be on it.

Summary
“I am Shmi,” the woman said, her voice echoing in a way Leia didn’t hear with her ears, “Shmi Skywalker. And you?”
“Leia,” she croaked through a dry throat. “I’m Leia.”
Shmi's eyes crinkled as she smiled, and it felt more real than the ones before. "A pleasure to meet you, Leia."

Leia is sent to Tatooine, a year after Anakin leaves for the Jedi. She didn’t exactly intend to come here at all, but now that she has, she absolutely came here to free slaves.
