Summary
Aldo has never really been one to think much about penance.
“We honor God in a multitude of ways,” he’d told Thomas once. “I agree that discomfort is useful. We learn to turn away from our sins and commit to do better. I don't understand what mutilating yourself in His name is meant to accomplish. We were not put in this world to suffer, Thomas."
Thomas had been quiet for a long time. "It is a different thing, though," he'd said finally. "You will agree on that much at least. Self-harm is a sin. Self-flagellation has a place in doctrine."
Aldo had winced. "Next thing you'll tell me is you've joined Opus Dei. You don’t think confession is enough? Prayer?”
“I think mortification of the flesh has its place,” he’d said absently, eyes faraway.
“Does it serve a purpose, though, apart from hurting you? Does senseless pain really bring you any closer to Him?”
Thomas had barely flinched. Aldo had felt possessed by the urge to grab his jaw and direct him forward, look at me, look!
“We must repent, Aldo,” he’d said simply. "By whatever means necessary."
He’s always thought Thomas did enough repentance as it was for the two of them. He thinks he understands better now.

To Steal a Smuggler's Heart by thevalesofanduin

Summary
When is a restaurant not a restaurant?
When it’s the Fett Clan’s front out of which they run their smuggling business.
Exhausted middle school teacher and opinionated freelance columnist Obi-Wan doesn’t know that when he walks in. He just wants to sit, eat and return to his empty apartment filled with too many memories.
What he also doesn’t know is that meeting Cody Fett will change his life forever, making it decidedly less lonely—and perhaps, perhaps, the enigmatic man and his crazy family help get Obi-Wan the justice he’s long given up on.

Summary
The man who had rented the room before him had also been a PI, and so Detective Shane Madej’s door still read CC TINSLEY & ASSOCIATES, PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS in peeling gold letters.
Along with the door, he’d inherited Tinsley’s desk, his reputation, and one badly-lit corridor’s worth of neighbors. These included a disreputable tattooist, an off-book accountant and, of course, The Mystic Oracle: Spirit Connexions and Communications.
LA, 1927 – Shane’s a jaded Private Eye. Ryan’s a two-bit Spiritualist. Together, they’re going to solve a murder.

Summary
The Law of Parsimony - Also called ‘Occam's razor’, is a mental model which states that “it is futile to do with more what can be done with fewer”—
In other words, the simplest explanation is most likely the right one; no matter how unlikely.
Shane tries really hard to hear the voices when he’s doing the Estes method for Ryan.It’s just, you know. This time, he hears the voices after the Estes method has stopped, too.

Summary
Thomas hadn’t meant to buy engagement rings on a Thursday in New York City.
Alternatively: The one in which Thomas Lawrence steps in front of a gun pointed at Vincent Benítez, the papal American roadtrip takes a sharp left faced with US politics, and the pining for Aldo Bellini is starting to look like divine intervention; not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Als Friedrich sich entschieden hatte, Lehrer zu werden, hatte er nicht damit gerechnet, für's Referendariat zurück an seine alte Schule zu kommen. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, ist sein Ausbilder kein Geringerer als Herr Oberstudienrath Dr. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in den Friedrich die letzten vier Jahre seiner Schulzeit hoffnungslos verschossen gewesen war.
Es folgen Deutschunterricht, Klassenfahrten, ein Theaterstück, eine Hochzeit und Friedrich, der seinen Crush in den Griff bekommen sollte.Es kann doch nicht angehen, dass dieses Fandom noch kein Highschool AU hat.
(Das M Rating ist für einzelne Smut-Szenen, die Fic an sich ist T. Die betreffenden Szenen sind nochmal ausgeschildert und können problemlos übersprungen werden.)

Summary
Padme lives. She runs.
--
Leia is growing in fits and spurts, eating greedily and crying loudly. She stays in a sling on Padme’s chest when they move, Luke held snug in a sling around Obi Wan’s. Luke gets a whole head of thick brown hair while Leia’s is still patchy and bald, but he never matches his sister’s powerful lungs.
When Padme had been sitting in her high senatorial apartment on Corsucant, holding Anakin’s sweaty hand, she had never imagined she’d be murmuring desperately soothing noises to her fussy daughter while she shot around a corner at stormtroopers, while R2D2 meddles with a ship’s blast doors behind her.
Luke starts teething on a hot jungle planet where they hunker down for three weeks, sleeping in an abandoned old temple and catching the local wildlife for dinner. Leia takes her first steps in the belly of a Corellian freighter they’ve stowed away on. She wobbles between Padme’s outstretched hands and Obi Wan’s knees and boxes of smuggled luxuries. When she falls down, Obi Wan surges forward, heart in his throat, but Leia laughs.
