    Summary

    Eli would get what he was owed soon enough; he would exceed his potential, reach higher than anyone ever thought he could. In their many years together, Thrawn had turned him into his perfect reflection to the degree that he was the only person in the galaxy that could out-think him, outsmart him. And Eli was about to wrap the red thread that had connected them since the day they’d met around Thrawn’s neck and pull. Hard.

Everyone doubts that the duo will make any impact at all, including Eli, but as the years pass on their influence ripples through the community.

    Summary

    “I thought you were going to sleep.”

    Ezra, pinned by that glowing gaze, shrugs. “I’m not really all that tired anymore.”

    The excuse goes over about as well as he expected. “Your inquisitive nature suggests it is instead the desire to eavesdrop that keeps you from returning to your quarters.”

    “Can you blame me?” He gestures at the two of them. Since it’s pointless to deny it, he might as well confront honesty with honesty. “You’re not usually like…” he can’t exactly describe how Thrawn is acting. It’s not out of character, it’s just… more.

    “Am I not allowed the comfort of an old friend?” Thrawn asks. His tone betrays his impatience, edged as it is with a rare hint of irritation.

    Summary

    “Hello, Thrawn,” Eli bids him, a smile shaping his lips, the heat he feels in his chest echoed in the curve of his mouth, the way his eyes resist the urge to gloss over with some amalgamation of emotion that demands to manifest in the precursor to tears.

    He sees the subtle shift as Thrawn lowers his guard. He takes one step, another half dozen, and they clasp forearms, their fingers squeezing tightly. Eli leans in, his left arm comes up and around to brace Thrawn's back in the briefest, most professional version of an embrace he can offer: a compromise between Human sentimentality and Chiss stoicism.

    Or, a story about finding something you hadn't realized you'd lost in the first place.

    Summary

    Since his promotion to Lieutenant Commander, Eli's mood seems to have taken a downturn. Thrawn has noticed this. He contemplates the cause, then sets off to put it right. Along the way, they chat books, decorate a room, and do a lot of talking about Lysatra.

    (aka, Eli is sad, homesick, and touch-starved; Thrawn fixes one of these things).

    Summary

    This is far from the first formal event he’s attended as Thrawn’s translator. Playing that role is just about where the similarities end, however. Those have been Imperial events. Sure the hosts change, but after the first couple, the patterns became predictable, almost boring even. Thrawn is either paraded about the room or left mostly to hover and observe, depending on the type of event and the scale of his most recent military success. And as much as Eli hates the way Thrawn is treated as some kind of trophy, he’s learned how to get through it.

    But this is something else entirely.

     

    Or: When Thrawn and Eli go undercover to infiltrate a fancy party, things quickly get more complicated than either of them had planned.

    Summary

    The more the Kaiju invasion drags on, the more desperate people become. Amuro has two choices—Either he can sit back and watch the end of the world, or he can try to step into a Jaeger once more. The main issue is he lacks a copilot, as does the infamous Char Aznable, known for not just killing Kaiju but his partners as well. Worse yet, Amuro might be able to match him in the drift.

    Summary

    “Who is he?” Ezra asked.

    “Who?” Thrawn asked.

    Ezra chewed his words. The Force tugged at the corners of his mind, showing him once again those hints of companionship locked inside Thrawn’s mind — those hints of love, if someone like Thrawn could feel love.

    “That guy you keep dreaming about,” he said finally. And even though Thrawn looked ill, he forced himself to say it: “Eli.”
