Summary
“Fontaine doesn’t need a Chief Justice who’s half-dead on his feet,” Wriothesley says.
He says it lightly, like a friendly jibe, but today the sunlight drives spikes into Neuvillette’s skull and his joints feel like sandpaper and he finds himself lacking the patience for friendly jibes.
“I am not shirking my duties,” Neuvillette says, something slow-moving like anger rumbling to life within him.
“No,” Wriothesley says, glancing at him. “But you’re not really doing them either, are you.”

grief and guilt; a neuvillette character study of sorts

Summary
New clan patriarch Kamisato Ayato stands alone at the top of the world. The world—or the only parts of it that matter—of course being the remaining scraps of his family reputation, a chief retainer of dubious trustworthiness, and his beloved, innocent, grieving younger sister. Of course it doesn't take long for the dogs to smell blood and come baying at the door. They just don't expect the sword at his hip to be sharper than any of their teeth.
And he doesn't expect for the true danger to lie within the shivering confines of his own mind. In the end, it seems that his body is going to force him to decide who to put his trust in sooner rather than later.

Summary
When the Rebellion extracts Mon from Coruscant in 2 BBY, they leave her family behind. As the ISB interrogations grow more pointed, Perrin realizes that if anyone is going to get his daughter out of Coruscant, it's going to have to be him.
The only cards he has to play are his anger, his fear, and a lifelong reputation for mediocrity. He's gambled on worse hands, but never with such high stakes.

Summary
For an instant, Qui-Gon felt himself floored, stuck in place as if caught in a Force-hold. Memories of a time long since past flooded him as the man led them out of the throne room. Qui-Gon was reminded of intelligent blue eyes, a kind but fierce smile, a fiery passion blazing in the Force. An earnest, desperate plea for once last chance; a solemn frown as a boy far too young to bear his mistakes offered his life for Qui-Gon’s on Bandomeer.
The taste of bitter rejection in the Force as he boarded a ship home, leaving the boy behind.
--
Qui-Gon Jinn has buried his past where it belongs - or so he thought. When Qui-Gon is sent on a mission to the Outer Rim with his former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, they meet a slave named Ben whose discovery may alter the fate of the entire galaxy.- Language:

Summary
Steve had learned to live on less than what he actually needed a long time ago. Food in the Great Depression; touch and affection in the twenty-first century. It wasn’t really that different.
