Summary
“I should say, then, that your records are not entirely complete,” the woman says, and her entire face moves like a stone cast into a pond of still water. “My name is John Silver, and I’m an excellent forger.”
In between the moments that it takes for the light to flicker above them, the woman next to him is replaced. Flint finds himself looking right at a dark-haired man now - slightly taller, but his gaze is no less piercing as he keeps his grasp on Flint’s arm, if anything getting closer to him as the train sways.
Flint forces himself to stay still, holding his gaze even as Silver’s blue eyes dip down to his mouth. “Mr. Silver,” he says, evenly, as the man's mouth curls up like he knows he's right. “I’ve heard much about you.”

Summary
Din can’t raise their suspicions by refusing to provide his name. But he can’t just give them all his name, either. “Dune,” he says, “Han Dune.”
“Anakin Skywalker,” the Jedi replies, the final nail in the coffin of Din’s denial. “General of the 501st. You’ll be safe with us.”
“Thank you,” Din says, again, because he’s not sure what else to say. Because that man is Luke’s father - or will be, one day - and if he wasn’t his only ticket off of this planet, Din would shoot him where he now stands without another second of hesitation.

Summary
Now that he's sitting down, Silver's gazing up at him, as Flint picks up his glass in one hand. "I like the look of this one," he says, rotating the bottle before pouring. "Did you just get it?"
"I thought you might," Silver says. "It's vintage - "
Flint lets the entire wine bottle slip out of his hand. Like a flash of lightning, Silver's hand darts out, and he catches it mid-air.
They both freeze.

Summary
“Christ,” Stede says faintly, wiping his damp palms on his trousers. It’s not every day that the one and only Blackbeard proposes marriage so that you’re not compelled to testify against each other for hiding a body. (Allegedly.)
Ed narrows those gorgeous dark eyes at him, and all Stede can think to say is, “You mean… now?”
“Wha — yes, now,” Ed says, “Come on, Stede, let’s go get hitched.”

Summary
The Mando has column capitals on her helmet, painted bright blue, and a red horned stag spreading across her chest plate, and she’s angry.
“Where’s my Manda’lor, jetti?” she hisses.
(in a universe where not all of the Haat Mando’ade died, things are somehow both better and worse)

Summary
Din trails behind them and reminds himself this is temporary. He’ll make sure they get to the temple safe, and once he’s sure that Luke agrees to continue training Grogu, he’ll leave them.
Grogu reaches up with his hand to tug at the edge of Luke’s shirt, and Din’s fingers flex at his sides.
This is the way, he tells himself.

Summary
Heaven has everything that Dean could want, he’s told. Bobby sits next to him on the rickety porch, tells him that everything he could want is within reach. That for the first time in his life - well, his death - he can be happy here. No more suffering, no more mistakes - this is it, Dean thinks, as he and Bobby drink beer and gaze off into a perfect sunset. This is what heaven should be, and he’s somehow managed to get there. No more Dean Winchester-flavored screwups that could threaten this, because he’s supposed to have it all here - and who could mess that up?
The next morning, Dean opens the front door of Harvelle’s to find Cas standing there. Objectively, he could’ve come up with something better to say than, “Are you the one who brings us more beer, then?”
Cas takes him in, stony-faced and silent, for a full thirty-two seconds. Then he’s turning around and walking away, without a word to Dean.
Apparently, there are some things that Dean can still mess up after all.

Summary
Obi-Wan is there when he returns, the clouds outside ribbed in pink the same shade that the last traces of Padme’s lipstick had been. He’s making a cup of tea when Anakin slides in through the door. “Late night?”
“I’m in love,” Anakin says.
Obi-Wan doesn’t even stop stirring. “Congratulations. And who is it?”
“It’s a secret,” Anakin says.
“Good luck,” Obi-Wan tells him.

Summary
Din’s hand catches his wrist, under the table. “What are you doing?”
Luke’s thumb rubs circles in his inseam, where the beskar plates have slipped as he sits, a weak spot in his armor. “I’ve been practicing,” he says, as casually as he runs his fingers over Din’s leg, back and forth, “Doing my mind tricks, as you say.”

Summary
“I meant a kind of gathering,” Din allows, “Friends, family, that sort.”
“How about next weekend? I can see who’ll make it.”
“Sure,” Din says. “If you’d want.”
“I would want that,” Luke says, and he smiles so easily across the table at him, that Din forgets that there might be any logistical nightmares with such a proposition.
Namely, his boyfriend’s very famous family.

Din frowns. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m kind of famous,” Luke admits.

Summary
“What, does Andy chain you guys here?” Nile says, only half-kidding when she asks. They really are just a bit suspiciously loyal to her.
“We are born and we die in this restaurant,” Joe says, looking entirely serious. He’s joined them for the tour, like he’s brand-new too, but winking at Nicky for most of the time. “Then we come back to life the next night, a miracle to be beheld, and we serve food that is fit for the gods.”
“It helps that we actually like to work here,” Nicky adds.

Summary
“Nicky brought the mustache style to Italy, you know,” Joe offers out of nowhere. He can nearly hear Andy’s eye roll. “I believe it was sometime in the early 1400s - wasn’t it?”
“Ah, yes,” Nicky says, with a sage nod. “You inspired me one morning, and I thought to shave off the bottom.”
“It was the eve before the Battle of San Romano, I believe, and not a man could take his eyes off of you the next day.”
“That explains why you died at least twice that day.”
“I am forever fixated on you.”
“You’re both kidding,” Nile says, “Right?”
“You should probably just sleep,” Andy advises. “They do this a lot.”-----
In which Nicky and Joe take liberties with recounting history, because it's fun.

Summary
Doing a favor for Max, Michael becomes a reluctant bodyguard to the rising rock star Alex Manes, who is notorious for escaping his security detail.
“Must be pretty desperate,” Michael says, “If you flew out here just to recruit me to play babysitter for this guy.”
“Yeah, well,” Max says, noncommittal, and this should’ve been his first warning, “He’s gone through six of my people in the past month.”
Michael whistles. “Oh, you’re right,” he says, “That’s totally in control.”

Summary
The drawer springs open, and he gazes upon a twisted piece of material. Michael picks it up, and the material morphs in his hands, taking on a sheen like nothing else on this planet.
Symbols and letters flash across the surface, but he doesn’t bother reading it now - that will come later, when they’re far away from the soon-to-be-empty bank vault.
There’s a low click, and Michael goes still on reflex. “Baby,” he says then, “Is that you?”
“Don’t call me baby,” Alex Manes orders, stepping into the vault. “Hands where I can see them, Guerin.”
