    Summary

    "You know, I always thought I'd live somewhere with lots of people around," Olruggio tells him. The wine in his vessel is a rich pink colour. Qifrey made them olives and cheese with cabroccoli wrapped in ham for a late-night snack, but the pleasure was in the making, not in the eating. He sips his own vessel, listening. "But it's really nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful. Good for focussing."

    "I think you would be even more of a hermit, if you had the choice," Qifrey says. "Lost in your work for weeks on end."

    Olruggio looks sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "You're probably right. I never thought I'd be that kind of person, either… weird how much things change, isn't it?"

    "And how much they stay the same," Qifrey murmurs.

    A temporary fix-it.

    Summary

    There's an odd girl at the back of the throng.

    To the casual eye, she looks completely average. She wears the same soft cream and dull yellow uniform of the other girls around her. She is small and slight, and her cheeks are dotted with freckles. Among the other palace girls surrounding her, she blends in perfectly. She could be any girl from any far-flung village of Li.

    But her eyes—they are what catch his attention. They are what draw him in.

    Or: Snapshots of Jinshi and Maomao, throughout the years--of their scars, their mistakes, and a little red string that endures through it all. An exploration of love, fate, and the choices we make, told in twenty-six parts.

    Summary


    Fingers entwined with Crowley’s and fair eyelashes catching the soft, chandelier light of the Ritz dining room, Aziraphale leans forward and says, smug as all get out, “We can be us now, just as you wanted. In every way.”

    Crowley doesn’t know what that means. Privately, he hopes it includes more prolonged hand-holding. Maybe they could try for a better kiss this time. All the sinful self-congratulation looks good on Aziraphale, though, so Crowley smiles right back at him and says, “Can’t wait.”

    Aziraphale assumes they’ve been taking the physical side of things slow by mutual, undiscussed agreement. Crowley doesn’t realize sex is on the table. He may not even be in the same universe as the table.

    Summary

    The future of Mandalore is in his hands, no matter what Din Djarin actually wants. While picking up jobs to pay off a new gunship, he runs into the Jedi again and learns that he too holds the future of his kind in his. In the shadow of a fallen empire and the light of a nascent republic, they begin to rebuild what was lost-- their peoples, their cultures, their histories, and each other.

    "To want something for yourself, that is a dangerous dream."
