    Summary

    Had Anakin truly been this thin, this malnourished and sickly, when he first arrived at the Temple? Had his clothes always been so ill-fitting and threadbare, his boots barely holding together?

    And had none of them—not one of their twelve—recognized his circumstances and offered him compassion?

    -----

    One moment, Mace watches in horror as Anakin betrays the Jedi Order and becomes a Sith Lord.

    The next, he finds himself at the Temple a decade before the start of the war, and encounters a half-starved nine-year-old boy in threadbare clothing.

    Or, Mace Windu has a chance to redo the first meeting between himself and Anakin Skywalker and takes the opportunity to make things right.

    Summary

    Mace Windu is not about to let to let a traumatised Padawan raise and train an equally traumatised child. That's why he steps in and takes Anakin as his own Padawan.

    At first, it doesn't seem like the wisest of decisions but the boy can annoyingly grow on people till he makes sure they love him.

    Summary

    He calls himself Brandr Himinson, but only because that's the only name his mind provides. He applies for a job at Stark Industries that could be exactly what he needs - an opportunity to leave New York behind, to bury and forget everything that is so persistently tugging at his mind. He ends up as Tony Stark's personal interpreter during a business trip in Sweden.

    And Bran finds that he is, even though only reluctantly, drawn to the other man - maybe it's the way Stark looks at him. As if he knows something about him that Bran himself doesn't, as if Stark is intrigued by him without end and still doesn't trust him an inch.

    Summary

    “You know, Natasha,” Mobius says, and the use of her name makes her look up. He’s sagged a fraction in his chair. “I think that we got off onto the wrong foot here. I’m not your enemy, and I think you know that. You’re really good at getting people to talk, I get that. I’ve seen it. But you’re welcome to look at the Tempad and see everything the TVA is fighting and you’ll see that I’m telling the truth. We need to get out there. And I need your Loki for that. He belongs to the TVA now.”

    Natasha keeps her face blank. “He belongs to it?”

    AKA: the one where Loki from the series comes back to his timeline to get help with Kang and he is Not Okay from all the abuse that he suffered at the TVA's hands. (gen)
