Summary
Later, after the medics have checked him and the courtiers have fussed over him and Aranessa has been coaxed away at long last from his side, Julien's father will take him by the arm and lead him to the Davinos sitting room in the depths of the Golden Castle. He will pour his son a glass of brandy, and sit him down in an ornate leather chair, and he will talk to him, deep into the night.
We have a blessing upon us, Raimond Davinos will say. He has pictured this conversation several times before, scripted it out painstakingly in his head, but this is not the way he planned for it to go. When we swore an oath to House Royce, we were...changed, magically. Permanently, and forever. This is the way of the fae. This is the magnitude of their gifts. And this is the depth of our loyalty. It lasts through life and lasts through death, all the way to the edge of the Golden Shore.
***
Immortality can be a curse and blessing both. Julien Davinos learns this lesson the hard way.

Summary
If he were a better wizard, a smarter one, he'd know how to dispel it. He'd know - he'd know how to fight, or flee, or turn back time and tell Aranessa not to open the door. He'd know what to do right now, but he doesn't, he doesn't know what to do, he's just so scared. So Occtis thrashes in place, struggles wildly beneath the immaterial grip of a dozen shadow-soaked hands.
It doesn't work. He isn't going to get away. But at least he won't have made it easy for them.
***
Five different perspectives - and five alternate timelines - at the Palazzo Davinos.

Summary
It sticks in Jack’s mind when he’s walking home that night. A man in a mask. Dropping down from the sky and making sure folks make it home.
It’s good. It’s something the neighborhood needs.
A part of him can’t help but wonder if Matty would still be here, had there been a man in a mask running around back then.
Or:
After his father's final fight, Matt Murdock disappears, leaving behind nothing but a broken cane and a pool of blood.
Years later, Jack Murdock pulls a man in a mask out of his dumpster.

it's called a flush by deniigiq

Summary
“Word is that you’ve shacked up with Boba Fett, Mando.”
That tone sent shivers unrelated to the water down Din’s spine. The urge to lash out filled his lungs, but he pushed back on it.
“You two have history,” he said as evenly as he could.
He turned and found the Jedi’s face completely void of emotion. His eyelashes were darker, though. Din could see them clearly even from across the river.
“Do not bring him here,” the Jedi said.
(Din tries to make a family. Now if only the new members didn't hate each other.)

Summary
Of course, Ren thinks as he stares down the hand delivering this slaughter, of course. Who would get so close, who else would know all the entrances and all the halls, who else would a jedi hesitate for despite the warnings of the Force, if not ones that call brothers?
The yellow glow of the saber pike brings sunlight to the night-darkened halls, reflecting off polished ancient stone and new plastoid.
******
A temple guard and some children find themselves in just the right place at the worst time.

Summary
"You're dead."
Kote’s eyes met Obi-Wan’s. He saw, in slow motion, what abject panic looked like on the Jedi’s face. He’d never seen that expression before. It felt intimate, a side that Cody had never been allowed to see. No one had.
Then, Obi-Wan relaxed into Kote’s grip on his cape, his head tilting minutely back against the wall. And he leaned, pressing his throat ever so gently towards the blade, his expression open and wondering and accepting.
“Cody…” he breathed, and he was smiling, crookedly and so wide that it must have hurt.
Kote could have pressed the blade all the way home in that moment.

For Obi-Wan Kenobi, the war has been over for ten years.
For Cody, the war has been over for eight months and seventeen standard days.Series

Summary
He finally meets the pilot's eyes. He looks surprised, and a little guilty, rubbing the back of his neck as he laughs hesitantly. “So sorry, man. I just…you don’t look like a clone at first glance, you know?”
“I know,” Kix says darkly, meeting the pilot's eyes. His eyes glance down at the name embroidered on his flight suit. “That’s the point, Dameron.”

Summary
"You understand: there is no house, there is no breakfast, yet here I am."
Nothing is wrong in Commander Fox's life. He's a good soldier, loyal to the Empire since the execution of Order 66. After all, good soldiers follow orders, and the Commander of the Coruscant Guard has always supposedly been the dictionary definition of the ideal clone trooper.
Everything is wrong in Barriss Offee's life. She's on death row, her family is dead, the Republic is gone, and the Emperor seems hellbent on convincing her to fall. Her only hope now is to find her former Master and escape.
(Or, Fox and Barriss take the long way round escaping the Empire.)

Summary
“You told me,” Ben says hoarsely, into the silence. “You told me once that you chose your name because you wanted to make your own kind of glory.”
There are very few people who know that. Most of them are dead.
“Glory,” Ben continues. “Kote. Cody. It is you, isn’t it?”
“You know me,” Cody manages. “How do you know me?”
Ben reaches up towards his own helmet, very slowly. Cody is helpless as he pulls it off, lets it rest in the space between them, and looks Cody dead in the eye for the first time in six years.
“You said it yourself,” Obi-Wan Kenobi says. “You killed me.”
***
Glory wants a job. Obi-Wan wants his nephew. Luke wants a bantha. Also, there's a crime syndicate and a love story worked out somewhere in the middle.
