Summary
Emperor Palpatine dies unexpectedly a year before the Death Star would be deemed operational. His heir apparent, Darth Vader, startles the galaxy by passing up the throne, and then passing it on to the newly-elected Senator of Alderaan, Leia Organa, after the Force leads him to directly to her. The new Empress inherits a terrorized galaxy, a broken Empire to tear down from the inside, and the weirdest second-in-command anyone can imagine.
Or, Vader accidentally hands the galaxy to his rebel daughter, Bail Organa panics professionally, Leia attempts not to get assassinated, and Palpatine rolls in his grave.

Summary
Most of the challenges that Ted Lasso encounters when he begins coaching at AFC Richmond were more or less what he expected: still not really understanding soccer, people getting upset when he says things like 'soccer,' etc. He's got a whole new team full of players to get to know, who've all got their own stuff going on.
The part he didn't see coming is the kid he meets on his first day. Ted quickly learns a few things: his name is Jamie, he's fifteen years old, and he's the part-time groundskeeper's assistant at Nelson Road. The more time Ted spends with him, the more he learns about where Jamie fits into the Richmond ecosystem, and the more concerns he develops about just what, exactly, is going on in the kid's life outside of this building.
It's going to take Ted's determination and patience, an unlikely main ally in Roy Kent, the entire Richmond community, and Jamie's own willingness to be brave enough to let someone help him to stop Jamie from drowning. Then maybe, just maybe, they can bring him safe onto dry land.
(AU that follows the events of the three seasons of the show, with one major difference. completely gen, no ships.)

Summary
Eddie Munson was supposed to meet his end after he finally refused to run so Max would live and Vecna could be destroyed once and for all. But then he woke up, and Eddie couldn't help but feel like he hadn't woken up in the afterlife. He should be dead. He was supposed to be dead. Eddie is dead, right?
So it was thought, my friends. So it was thought. But Eddie — lives.
A story where everything in the Upside Down comes to a conclusion, and Edward Munson and Maxine Mayfield emerge victorious. The Party saves a revived Eddie and Max, ending the threat that is Vecna once and for all, and Steve finds he never could get rid of Eddie's battle jacket.

Summary
As their lunch stretches on Aziraphale slowly comes to realize that Crowley is—enjoying him. Enjoying Aziraphale’s conversation, and company, far more openly than he has in most of Aziraphale’s memory. And Aziraphale knows that he himself is just chattering on, letting conversational tangents carry him along, and—it’s definitely relief, for him, knowing for the first time in a long time that they aren’t being watched, that no one is keeping score for now.
