Summary
Padmé gave her all to keep her children safe, faking her death and going into hiding exactly as instructed. But with Alderaan gone and Tatooine ravaged, she has nothing left to lose.
At least if she turns herself in, she’ll have one last chance to bring down the man who destroyed everything she loved.
***
Canon divergence from ROTS: Padmé lives and Vader loses his limbs but doesn't get burned. Takes place just after the events of A New Hope.

Summary
Aldo rolls his eyes, annoyance genuine this time. “Oh, for God’s sakes. The worst thing we ever did was teach children they have rights.”
“You don’t mean that,” Thomas says patiently.
“I do,” Aldo insists darkly. “Freedom of expression does not mean you have the right to scrawl ‘skibidi toilet’ all over the third floor bathroom.”
*******
The ancient and venerable St Peter's School for Boys elects a surprise new headmaster, and Aldo reaches heights of stress headache never before experienced by mortal man.

Summary
What was Thomas’s notion of love? Thinking back to his childhood years, it had probably been nurtured by literature - growing up, he had always been an avid fiction reader. He’d had plenty of examples of love, yet the ones that caught his eye were, time and time again, the ones that proved that love meant going to the ends of the Earth and beyond for each other, feeling compelled by a force that transcended the individual, despairing in its absence and knowing inside one’s soul that the two belonged together.
Or,
Thomas finds a mysterious box on his desk and sets out on a quest to find out where it came from.
