    Summary

    It is of no matter to him though what he wants, it never has — Gawain is born to something greater than him and he shoulders it, shoulders it with a smile on his face, and pretends he cannot see the look of jealousy flit across his brothers’ faces, the calculating rapture that breaks and splinters Arthur’s, the way Guinevere bites her lip, the quiet way that Lancelot shakes off his gauntlets and dons colors that are not his own — 

    — Gawain can only stand there and bear it. He smiles, and it is like the sun.

    Summary

    It’s the start of June, and summer is nearly here, and in Faramir’s front yard the hydrangeas are starting to bloom, white flowers the size of his hand. Faramir isn’t at home, though; he’s in the waiting room of the psych ward at Minas Tirith hospital, scuffing his Converse against the tile, listening to some politician on the news promise to protect local jobs from the immigrants coming in to steal them.

    A retelling of the Steward and the King.

    Summary

    “You’re a good person, Ani,” Padmé said.

    His feet sought out that ornate, gilded doorframe. They stopped him in front of it so that he could turn back with a hand on the hilt of his saber.

    “I’m not,” he said. “But I’m trying to become one. Our kids are an anchor for me. I just wish I could be one for them.”

    (Anakin doesn't fall, but he and Padmé don't keep custody of Luke and Leia. Anakin tries to grapple with the consensual loss of his children while trying to stay in their lives. Meanwhile, someone murders a senator.)

    Summary

    Cody freezes. “What does it do, sir?”

    “It appears—it appears to strip a Jedi of their powers,” Obi-Wan says, looking to the side with a ragged exhale. “I can no longer sense the Force, or you, or anything, for that matter.”

    Or: An independent terrorist cell has developed a weapon capable of severing the bond between a Jedi and the Living Force. They test it on High General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    Obi-wan Kenobi keeps promoting Cody. The promotion gets out of hand, and suddenly the balance of the universe shifts into the palm of a very competent, caffeinated man.
