    Summary

    A dead padawan, a masked Sith, a failing Republic, and the missing link that connects it all.

    In which eleven year old Anakin Skywalker is kidnapped and memory wiped by the Sith, and it changes everything.

    ...

    Vader had a plan: destroy Sidious, seize power, and finally rule the galaxy. Easy.

    What he didn’t plan on:
    – Babysitting a snippy Padawan
    – Being emotionally blackmailed by her grief-stricken Jedi master
    – Catching feelings for a stubborn (and strangely attractive???) Naboo senator who insists there's still "good in him" - whatever that means

    But when fragments of a life he doesn't remember start to resurface, and his new "allies" won't stop dragging his ass toward the light, Darth Vader starts to wonder who he really is beneath the mask.

    Because, sometimes, the real power is the friends you definitely didn’t plan on making.

    …And seriously, who the hell is Anakin Skywalker?

    Summary

    There was nothing good or sweet or kind about being part of a Force dyad. Dyads were born when two souls were forced to endure the unbearable and became so entangled in one another, they were no longer two people.

    When fourteen-year-old Anakin Skywalker and his Master get captured by slave traders, they attempt to survive by holding onto each other as closely and as long as possible. The consequences are disastrous.

    Summary

    Anakin was wearing his customary shorts - blue with yellow banding today - and a cut-off shirt. He was dark all over, skin an even deeper shade of brown that made him look like liquid honey and bronze, supple yet sturdy. The sun had bleached his hair, bringing out the blond tucked away in the brown strands, curls on top of curls shimmering like spun gold.

    He leaned back next to Obi-Wan, hot against his side and smelling of cigarettes, clean sweat, and the sun.

    ---

    After a devastating loss that Obi-Wan can’t seem to recover from, he decides to pack up his life and move to a small lazy town on the outskirts of a desert. Depressed and alcoholic, Obi-Wan figures fucking his pain away with the pretty nineteen year old neighbour boy is a good idea.

    Turns out, it is anything but a good idea.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan is 34 years old when he meets Anakin, an attractive man 16 years his junior with dreams of being an architect. They keep seeing each other: dinner, then movie, then sex. Obi-Wan falls in love but can't bring himself to admit it. Wants to be with Anakin, but can't square that with his public image as a respectable English professor. For a year, he keeps Anakin in the middle-distance.

    Then Anakin disappears. A letter arrives telling him goodbye.

    Or, a strangers-to-lovers-to-strangers-to-lovers story about falling apart, healing, and coming back together again.

    Mind the tags. TWs for attempted suicide, extensive suicide discussion, mental health issues, hospitalization, and all that entails.

    Summary

    "So this whole roommate thing. I just wanted to ask, like… what are you looking for? Should I totally leave you alone?” (God, please say no.) “Should we just be, like, cordial coworkers?” (Please, please, please say no.) “Or do you want to be more like… friends?”

    Viktor snorted. It was a sound Jayce was starting to crave. His heart squeezed.

    “Yes, Jayce.” Viktor stood, leaning on his cane. “I think we should be friends."

     

    (or: the one where jayce can't figure out why he cares so much about the guys his new roommate brings home... and doesn't realize he's fallen in love until he's completely and totally fucked.)

    Summary

    When Viktor receives news that the man who raised him has unexpectedly died, he couldn't have been happier. He could finally get rid of all the leftover memories that still plagued him from that period of his life, but returning to that seemingly empty house proves much more difficult than he could have imagined. As the past still clings to him and haunts his every step, Viktor will need all the help he can get to truly make his last escape-- and the handsome stranger next door would be more than happy to assist.

    Summary

    Viktor had always hoped to be fixed: repaired where possible, defective parts replaced, pain put out of its misery. After that, there would be time to finish the great works he was meant for. When he has to face the reality of his decline, though, Viktor knows he would give up that dream to have Jayce at his side at the end of a good life.

    Viktor knows his work could live on long after he is gone. Still, he wants and wants and wants.

    (i) Jayce is the Man of Progress. The moniker, Viktor thinks, is almost too on the nose. Jayce has always looked forward, and Viktor doesn’t know how to tell him there’s no more time for long-term plans. (ii) Viktor’s health collapses under the torsions and pressures of surgical revision. Jayce helps him imagine what could exist in the aftermath. (iii) Hope, it turns out, is a kind of demolition. His desire to do good leads him back to the Undercity. In Piltover, Viktor is gutted by grief. His heart might give out before his failing body.

    A story in three crises.

    Summary

    “You think you can just call up Kaz Brekker and he’ll hop on the next ship to Ravka?" asks Zoya. "He’s gone mad, Nikolai."
    Nikolai can’t argue that Kaz Brekker is the wildest of cards in his deck. But what choice does he have? He needs a master, and Brekker is the most masterful of them all.
    “I know how we can get him on board.”
    Zoya scoffs. “Nina says he’s positively unhinged since Inej Ghafa’s death years ago. Jesper and Wylan fled here after a nasty encounter with the bastard.”
    “I know a way,” he says. Everyone has a weakness, as Kaz would say, and Nikolai knows exactly what Kaz’s is. “Inej Ghafa is alive.”

    Three years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, the Crows have fallen apart. Inej, in order to protect herself, has been faking her death for the past two years. Kaz, overridden with grief, finally snaps and goes mad. Wylan, Jesper, and Nina flee back to Ravka, but when the Wandering Isle closes its harbor and the Fjerdans threaten war, Nikolai needs a crew that can infiltrate Maroch Castle and gather information.
    Can the crows overcome the traumas of their past, the shortcomings of their present, and their fears of the future for one final mission?

    Summary

    Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived in a hole in the ground.

     

    Kaz doesn't know how long he has been there. Time has stopped mattering after so much of it has passed, when there has been nothing to track each day with. There is no light in the cell and the guards don't bring him meals at any regular times. Keeping track of how long they have been keeping him there isn't a necessity. Not when there are more important things to try and fixate his mind on.
    -
    Kaz gets kidnapped. Things get very, very bad from there onwards.

    It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.

    She’d never dreamed they actually would.

    Uzhastikev closed his eyes briefly. “They’re not worried about you.” Those milky eyes found Kaz’s again as if he could sense it. “Their hearts haven’t stuttered once — not like yours has. You care so much, don’t you? They don’t feel the same. Don’t waste your precious breath protecting them.”

    kaz's terrible, horrible, no good very bad day.

    Summary

    Kaz stared at him in incredulous growing anger. He knew the pull of despair, knew the weight of having nothing to live for but spite, with no hope that anything would change. He’d carried that weight for years, refused to bow under it even when he was starving and alone. Inej had borne it naked in chains and never surrendered her pride.

    And now Jesper thought he had the right to give up? Here, in a warm room, with a full stomach and friends who would fight and die for him? With Wylan Van Eck waiting to sweep him into a life of luxury the moment he got his shit together, and Kaz working to keep him from being buried in his own mistakes until then?
