    Summary

    They buy the 200 fucking pound fountain. It is infuriatingly cheap, and unspeakably difficult to maneuver into any space without removing paint from said space. Rex has to come out and help them hoist it into the garage and several hours pass around the kitchen table, drinking scalding hot mint tea and plotting. Plotting. Plotting.

    They’re going to have to bolt the thing down somehow or else people are going to just steal it right from the center of the roundabout. Cody has about twenty bags of unused cement in his garage and some bolts big enough to get through it if need be.

    He looks at Wolffe. Wolffe looks at Rex.

    (Retired Commander Cody moves into a new neighborhood and becomes furious at the way a nearby roundabout is treated as a dumpsite. He installs a giant Jedi Crest fountain dead in the center of it and accidentally creates a safe place for the diasporic Jedi community to worship.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This fic is beautiful. There was that Merlin fanfic that I absolutely adore, that just made the world feel a bit more magical every time I read it, and this one feels like that too. It makes it feel like, if you put in the effort, you really can make your corner of the world a little lighter. Kindness begets kindness.

    The original idea: Zuko can't stay dead. He resurrects at sunrise, with old wounds becoming new scars. He's very bitter about it.
    What it actually became: Still that, but Jet took over and now it's his story to tell.

    This is very possibly one of the best ATLA fics I have read, the character development is absolutely unmatched (the character growth, the nuance, the good-people-aren't-always-nice and people-are-complicated-and-make-complicated-choices and it-is-worth-it-to-try-to-be-better, absolutely incredible) and I adore the way the world is expanding here

    Summary

    Eleven years ago, the Jedi order got wind of the closing pincers of a Sith trap and scattered to the remote corners of the galaxy. Ten years ago, millions of clone commanders and troopers were introduced as the Republic’s new Army, made for fighting a war alongside people the galaxy seemed to be forgetting ever existed. Nine months ago, Commander Cody decided he was no longer going to risk his men's lives for the whims of clueless generals. Now, his decision to save a boy and a man in the desert, and the plan he comes up with to get away with it, will change the galaxy.

    Shoulder the Sky series by Night_Fury

    This series is so incredible omg I have read a lot I Star Wars fics and this is something else
    The mythology of it all, the lightning and the small gods and the riverfolk and the path back from darkness as something you choose and keep choosing
    Just, wow. I could not recommend this series more
