Summary
There is a doll.
It isn't familiar. This doll wears a dress with buttons and pleats. It’s nothing like the ripped edge of a sleeve, bound unevenly around a wobbly wooden torso, stuck in place with old tree sap. See, his fingers catch the smooth edge of the button, again and again, because it is not at all familiar.

Not What I Was Made For by TimesBeingWhatTheyAre

Summary
“You don’t owe anything to the people that brought you here,” he murmurs. Bolaire hasn’t said anything about that, but Azune can read between the lines. “They had a hand in who you are today, but you are alive regardless of what you were made for,”
Living despite what one’s purpose is? Living beyond what you were set out to do, past the deadline of a world that has suddenly changed without place for you, forced to change the clothes you were from a being of violence into a being of peace? Perhaps Bolaire, who chose to forsake his reason for existence, has found his new cloth comfortable and well-fitting, but Azune even now barely remembers to call his skin his.

Summary
He breathes in, and holds his breath for a long beat, imagining the sound of a thousand orcs striding into battle against a god. Exhales, in stutters, like blood and ichor and inky mist trickling out a fatal wound. This, then, is where they slew a god.
“What song would you play here for your children, Halandil Fang?”

Summary
The galaxy has changed more than even Obi-Wan could have predicted in the year since he was thrown back in time by the Daughter.
But still armed with a mission to defeat Sidious who is vying yet again for Chancellorship, as he builds up his own armies in secret; Obi-Wan must bring together friends old and new to take down the Sith Empire before it ever rises. All he'll need is exceptional luck, more allies, less secrets, a brilliant plan or two, a couple of galactic shatterpoints, and one last chance to take down Palpatine.
Once and for all.

Summary
Five years into his self imposed exile on Tattooine, Obi-Wan Kenobi is gifted the chance to go back and bring hope back to the galaxy.
With hindsight on his side, he fully intends to save his master, save his padawan, make some new and old friends again, prepare the Jedi for a war they’ll hopefully never see and begin to pull apart all the many tangled threads of the Sith Lord’s plans.
Should be relatively easy. Right?

“Master, I’m not in the mood.”
“Which is precisely why we are going on one.”
OR: Obi-Wan makes Anakin go on walks and maybe it saves the galaxy.
