    Summary

    His hands were on her hair, smoothing over her shoulders, pressing the tension out of them without a word. She tried to relax into him and take a deep breath. She wondered, perhaps, if she should have agreed, should have pursued him, should have acquiesced to the look in his eye that practically sang hymns of adoration to her. She wanted no more hymns then, and now had nothing to offer. She was broken, used up by this fight. She was a resource spent on the efforts to defeat Corypheus and the Venatori. She saw the story of their battles written in her scars, and now in the shaky, spidery lines of her own signature.

    Summary

    Three years after the bomb dropped on London and it’s all starting to come together for Alfred.

    MI5 have offered him a promotion, he’s got his mum set up in a nice flat in Edinburgh and Dave Boy is even paying his bar tabs. So, of course, Alfred is going out of his mind with boredom.

    How convenient, then, that a strangely worded letter arrives from Gotham, thanking Alfred for his application for the position of Head Butler to Wayne Manor, urging him to come as soon as possible.

    There’s just one small problem—Alfred didn’t apply for any job. Which can only mean one thing: Martha and Thomas are in danger and they need Alfred to get them out of it.

    It’s probably a trap. Alfred’s almost hoping it is.

    Guess he’ll find out.

    Summary

    Having crashed on a remote, uninhabited planet, Obi-Wan and Anakin have no choice but to embark on a long and hard trek towards a possible means of help. However, until they can reach the faraway salvation, there is much distance to cover, both in miles and in the vast space between the master and the former apprentice. The third year of the Clone Wars has worn out near to a breaking point the close bond they once shared. Now Obi-Wan and Anakin have to learn how to rely on each other again, if they have any hope of returning to their former lives. But can there ever be a way back to what they once were to each other?
