Summary
“You burned me alive, as you burned me in every warlock I lived inside, in every sorcerer who asked my blessing. Your father slaughtered me by the hundreds and you by scores. Your weapon sought my throat always, and even when I lived beside you, in your service, I was forced to kill my own. I died by your word, Arthur, not the honor of your hand but the voice of your contempt. So Merlin died so Emrys died. You wonder why your fields grow ash and your cattle sicken and your people cannot conceive? You are responsible. I could not live in a land that had destroyed me.” His voice thickens, “I could not serve a man who wished me dead.”
The rulers of the five kingdoms ask magic to choose who will draw Caliburn and so rule Albion.

Summary
The pair of droids doing the decanting rinse and dry the babies straight out of the tube, making sure the weighing isn’t thrown off by any excess clinging fluid, and the clones are fluffy-headed and freshly clothed by the time the padded droid arms set them down in the pen, but it’s like the little bastards are trying to make up for their new totally dry environment by sliming the absolute shab out of everything they touch.

Summary
The Vizsla heir’s mind disintegrates. A nobody from Concord Dawn lays the groundwork for a Mandalore he will not live to see. His son buries his iron skin for someone worthier. A pacifist boxed in by wars foresees a collision between her ideals and their history, and wonders what it means to fight. Then it all falls apart. Her sister tries to pick up the pieces, but they are stolen before her eyes. On Concord Dawn, the son of an exile speaks to a stranger in his father’s tongue for the first time. Another nobody from the moon of Concordia takes the reins.
Seven vignettes from the Mandalorian Civil War, from its inception to its tentative conclusion; seven excerpts from the Supercommando Codex.
{Canon compliant until The Book of Boba Fett.}

Summary
Several months into his tenure as Fulcrum, Kallus is dispatched to a remote Imperial facility where he learns of a program to clone dead Jedi and train them as assassins for the Empire. He finds himself with an impossible choice: continue on as Fulcrum and provide valuable intel to the Rebellion, or sabotage the facility, save one of the clones, and go on the run.

Summary
There are stories in her tribe.
They say the solstice stretches thin the veil between this world and the next. Glimpses of lost lovers out at sea, the laugh of a late father falling like snow, the cry of a stillborn never heard.
Katara, the wind says.
It is soft and so familiar, like trying to remember the blurry edges of a fading dream.
She turns towards the sea and there, just there in the sliver of space between the moments when the sun — almost too bright to look upon — breathes it’s last gasp across the ice, and when it dips below the horizon, appears a woman.
Her breath catches.
“Katara,” her mother says.
Or, Kya comes to visit to her daughter.

Summary
Barriss pulled her helmet off and threw it to the side. Her palm fit over the hilt of her saber while her thumb ignited a bouquet of red light. A violin played its first chord.

Despite her lofty position, her repeated failure to bring the Rebel Ahsoka Tano to justice has brought her capabilities as an Inquisitor into question.

Bookmarker's Notes
I really enjoyed the glimpses of Tusken culture we got in the Mandalorian, and again in TBOBF, so to see them expanded upon here (and so many paralells drawn w/Mandalorians!) is great. feel like the relationship is developed really nicely as well

Summary
Suffice it to say, Thomas did not like Mike. At all. On occasion his emotions had reached a fever pitch and he had attempted to confront the man directly by bursting into their bedchamber, but after the second time Alison had threatened a ban on the record player, and Thomas didn’t feel that he loved his outrage more than he loved the Cure.
Alison and Mike move into Button House and, completely unintentionally and totally by accident, teach the ghosts valuable lessons about life and love.

Summary
“Can I ask you something?” Mic asks, slowly looking away from the sky as the cloud passes and the sun’s rays shine on them again.
“Of course.”
“Why do you want to be a hero, Kaminari?” Mic’s voice is gentle, as if he’s afraid to break whatever somber mood has settled over them as well.
Kaminari looks down, into the sea of people walking so far below them. Kaminari can’t hear them, can barely make out their faces, even. But, he can imagine what they’re doing. Adults walking to and from work, or the store running errands. Some laden with bags, others with briefcases. Teenagers and kids walking home from school, stopping at corner stores and arcades to hang out longer with their friends. Families walking downtown, children in the middle, clutching their parent’s hands and laughing in joy. Everyone living their lives, in their own bubbles, going about their day. Kaminari can feel himself smiling as he observes them.
Or, Kaminari interns with Present Mic. It goes better than Kaminari could have ever hoped.

Summary
“We’re dead” is the first thing Momo says to her when she opens the door, and it’s somehow more beautiful than any lyric from Kyouka’s favorite song.
“Yeah, like, on the inside and stuff,” she replies.
Yaoyorozu Momo and Jirou Kyouka have to define what courage means to them or risk failing All Might’s class. Forgetting about their project until 10 hours before it’s due feels like the right answer.

Summary
"Let it be known that I completely detest the implications of what this situation is mirroring," Red Hood grumbles to himself and it's the longest string of words Duke has heard from any so-called Gotham vigilante, let alone the one who's known for shooting more than he is talking.
"The fuck?" Duke mutters, because if he's already going to die, he might as well try and make sense of it.
"I'm not going to care about whatever sob story you have," is what Red Hood replies with instead of explaining, "Where are your parents?"
"Gone," is all Duke says, because it's really none of this guy's business. It's also the truth.
Somehow, Red Hood sounds even more anguished about this information than Duke is, "Ah shit."
(Duke steals the tires off Red Hood's bike and somehow gains a family.)

Finduilas of Dol Amroth married Denethor, future Lord Steward of Gondor, for some very specific reasons. A different take on their marriage.
Anglachel's magnum opus. If you like long novels, this one's for you.
This story is originally published on my own site, Rómenna. New chapters will appear there first. Read HotK on Rómenna. I maintain a cast of characters on Rómenna which you're probably going to need.

These versions of the characters are so fresh and interesting, the politics intricate (and sometimes with messy fallouts), and the world generally just feels pretty lived-in. Particularly love Denethor and Finduilas here, they make so much sense together.
