    Summary

    Ahsoka is ambivalent to aquascapes, terrariums, and all things in between. She finds Rex's creatures aesthetically pleasing but otherwise boring. Not once has she expressed an interest in feeding the fish or trimming the grasses. The furthest she’s gone has been to tell him to get geckos next time. These, she claims, actually have personality.

    Rex takes this frankly unnecessary attitude from her because Ahsoka is the reason that he has tanks at all. He couldn’t afford anything to put in his first tank until she arrived to his doorstep with a ballooning plastic bag in hand.

    The fish died within a week. It came from a grungy pet store in the city that advertised its bettas in a pyramid of plastic cups, but the little guy’s brief presence in Rex’s tiny tank was enough for him to become hooked.

    Fish became an obsession.

    (Post-War AU where Ahsoka is determined she's going to save Obi-Wan's miniature pond, and Rex is illegally breeding Nabooian salamanders in his one-bedroom apartment.)

    Summary

    “Ani.”

    “Do you think I’m manly?”

    Obi-Wan’s mind skips a beat or so just as he is bringing the hot mug towards his lips. He lowers it.

    “Manly?” he says.

    Anakin opens the cupboard by the stove and brings out every mixing and serving bowl therein. He sets them in front of the drying rack and rolls his falling sleeves back up.

    “You heard me,” he says.

    (Anakin has gender questions, so he wakes Obi-Wan up at ass-o-clock to demand answers.)

    Summary

    "Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”

    “No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.

    Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”
