    Summary

    Hornet never thought she could call the days of the infection ‘simple’, but her siblings so loved to complicate things, didn’t they? Of course, she’d never have it any other way. Even if it did mean she was a child again.

    (In a desperate attempt to escape defeat, the Radiance tries to flee through time itself. Ghost follows, taking Hornet along for the ride. But they can’t very well leave Hollow behind either now, can they?

    In which Hollow causes an international incident, Hornet wants to throttle someone, and Ghost discovers that punching the Pale King is way better when he’s actually alive.)

    Summary

    Obi-Wan met Maul for the first time on the day he had to sell himself to Watto in exchange for Anakin's freedom and the parts for the ship.

    He didn't know which one of them was more surprised when they both came out of that encounter alive.

    And the second one.

    And the third.

    ----

    Or when a little by of kindness and the offer of dinner changes a whole lot of things.

    Please read the tags and the notes at the start. Maul is surprisingly not the aggressor in this situation (neither is Obi or Shmi)

    Summary

    It's a chance meeting on the streets of Tatooine. It should have ended before it even began.
    It doesn't.
    Jango doesn't know much about the force, and he doesn't care much about the force. There's no mystical power that controls his destiny.
    Which makes it his own fault that he got pulled into the disaster that is Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    (This is a companion piece to Pebble in a River, much of it may not make sense without reading that for context)

    Summary

    He woke up.
    And everything changed, but of course, that's what life does. It changes.
    There are so many options, so many things that seem right. And yet each of those things also feels wrong. Failure isn't an option, not again. But there is no outline for success, and he's hardly the only one in the game. He's tired, and exhausted, and so very lonely.
    But force help him, he's going to save as many people as he can.
    Really, Force, he needs the help.

    Summary

    There are rumors that the Jedi are not entirely… natural. They move too quickly, too silently, and their eyes always look to something nobody else can see.

    “Unnatural,” some people murmur. “This ‘Force.’ It’s not right.”

    Mortis was a conduit of the Force.

    Anakin Skywalker had been a temporary conduit for the Daughter, had Fallen in the Well of the Dark Side, had been born from the Force.

    Ahsoka Tano had been transformed by the Son, had been killed by the Dark, had been restored by the life of the Daughter.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi had been taken to the Altar formed of pure Force, had been trapped in the Well of the Dark, had spoken with the dead.

    They had been immersed in the Force more deeply than any other Jedi.

    More deeply than what the Jedi consider to be… natural.

    Here’s what it means.
