    Summary

    “Eh, I just kind of picked them up. Most of them only take a few days of Holonet classes or an exam and you don’t even need to be on planet for. Needed one or two to make a job more credible and then it just snowballed from there. I think Thire’s been printing out fake ones just to see if I notice.”

    “I can tell,” Cody stated dryly, tapping a knuckle against one of the frames. “It’s impossible to type that fast. 900 words per minute? You don’t have that many fingers.”

    “Oh, no, that one’s real.” Fox shuffled a few datapads around, the plastoid clinking and scuffing together. “Well, I did cheat a bit. I had Linkup hack into the chip in my brain so I can now connect to my personal datapad and impose my thoughts directly into a document.”

    Cody paused.

    “What.”

    -How Kaer Morhen got its famed Hot Springs-

    'Now that he thought about it, Lambert had been quiet for far too long.

    He could hear water rushing, and as he listened it seemed to go from a trickle to a flood, somewhere down below. He took the stairs down to the cellars four at a time, Lambert’s whoops echoing up the steps.'

    Summary

    It’s been such a long time, Julian. When will you be over him?”

    Jaskier’s laugh, muffled and humorless, followed the question.

    I’ll let you know when I figure it out.”

    I don’t enjoy seeing you hurting.”

    “I’m fine. Most of the time.”

    “Most of the time,”  Valdo echoed, and then, “oh, fuck.”

    Geralt tapped.

    After Jaskier goes viral for being a pining mess during a livestream, Geralt’s family tries to figure out exactly why the couple broke up, given that Jaskier is clearly still in love with Geralt. Meanwhile, Geralt is in denial, Jaskier is absolutely fine, thanks, and the internet is having a bit of a breakdown.

    Summary

    Geralt's muscles heave backwards, flinging him down against the bed. He tries to struggle upwards but it feels like he’s been buried beneath a mountain. Every inch of him is pressed completely still. His eyes close, and he’s left in the dark with nothing but his racing heart for company. He’s not tired, he’s never been less tired. But the curse wants him to sleep, it seems. It’ll force him to lie here until he does. How much of his life will it start to control, now that he’s declared war against it? Now that he knows it’s lurking in his bones, now that it doesn’t have to be subtle?

    He swallows. Takes a long, deep breath, gathering every bit of courage he has to stop himself from slipping back into panic. He still has control over his lungs. He still has that.

    For now.

    (Or: Witchers don't retire. They stay on the Path until it kills them. They hunt monsters and they want nothing from life. This isn't exactly by choice.)

    Summary

    The Greater Mandalorian Empire that rises after the Excision spans a large swathe of the galaxy, challenging the ever-shrinking Republic Core and waging furious battles against the Sith Empire.

    Captured on Galidraan and held prisoner on Kamino, Jango Vhett is caught in a Republic plot to destroy both Empires; clone troopers made of his blood are being made in secrecy to serve the Republic and the Jedi to fight both the Sith and Jango's own people.

    Jango doesn’t know if he can save all of the clones from the terrible cold and unfeeling cruelty of the Kaminoans, or if he can keep them from having to fight and die for the Republic that had ordered the creation of a slave army... but he does know this: Verde sa akaan nau tracyn kad. Warriors are forged in the fires of war.

    These children are made for war, and they have been fighting to stay alive since their creation. Jango will do what he must. He will teach them everything he knows so they will have a better chance of surviving Kamino, surviving the Wars.

    Jango has promised that an army will be ready for the Republic.

    And they will be... They will be ready. Haat, ijaa, haa'it.

    Summary

    Another battle, another bloodbath.

    And with it, yet another near miss. But this time, it wasn't some naive shiny, courageous commando, or daredevil pilot who skirted an intimate dance with death. No, this time, it was Rex. The indestructible Captain of the 501st. The force of nature behind Torrent Company. The fiercely brave and intelligent rank and file trooper that should have been part of the command class.

    The man Cody loved.
