    Summary

    Cere shakes her head again, lowering her hands to her lap and lacing her fingers together.  “I’m… not sure.  Could be nothing.”

    “Cere, if you really think this is a trap –”

    “It’s not that,” she says.  “It’s – a feeling of foreboding.  I’m not sure if it’s this job or something else.  Like I said, it might be nothing.”  She shoots Cal a ghost of a smile.  “Might be Greez’s kath shank.”

    “Hey, have I ever given any of you food poisoning?”  Greez bustles past them on his way to the navicomputer.  “I think not!”

     

    (Middle-aged schoolteachers would probably make terrifying Inquisitors, so the Mantis crew attempts to break a Force-sensitive woman out of prison before the Empire finds out her secret. It ends poorly. They try to pick up the pieces, afterwards... which would be easier if they didn’t need to leave a piece behind.)

    Summary

    After years of fighting the Empire and trying not to lose all hope, Ahsoka Tano is thrown back in time to the invasion of Naboo. Now it seems like she’s the only one who can save the galaxy, and she’ll do it or die trying.

    She may be disoriented, but this stagnant, not-yet-war-torn galaxy isn’t ready for her, either. What happens when Ahsoka—veteran soldier, Purge survivor, rebel agent—appears and starts tearing through a thousand years of corruption and Sith schemes?

    Everything changes.

    Now somehow the immensely adorable nine-year-old Anakin is her apprentice, and he’s not even her only apprentice. Maul is obsessed with her. She’s giving the Jedi Order a rude awakening. There might be a chance to stop Dooku from becoming a Sith. The Republic is falling apart in an entirely unfamiliar way. And that’s just the beginning.

    Whether or not all this change will be a good thing remains to be seen.

    And there’s one thing Ahsoka cannot let happen: Darth Vader. She doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, but she does know that she’s going to find the unstoppable monster who terrorized the galaxy once, and she’s going to kill him.

    Summary

    Living as peacefully and low-key as possible was the direction your life has been going for 29 years.

    For that reason, you live with many secrets as a sorcerer closely affiliated with the top brass of Jujutsu society, hiding behind fake smiles and a facade of perfect propriety. You bury your past in layers of clothing and limitations, and even if you don't live the life you truly wish for, you are content. You tell yourself that you are content.

    That's until June 2018 rolls around, and the arrival of Sukuna's vessel sets the row of dominoes tumbling, and the suppressed lie you have been living gradually dissipates into a cloud of fluttering, impermanent ashes.

    Summary

    Time is not linear but cyclical. The end is, and will always be, an immutable constant. You can rewrite the first chapter, but the closing line will invariably end with slaughter. To change fate is to write a whole new novel.

    -

    There is something strange about the new boy in Gojo’s class. The world tells him his name is Itadori Yuuji, a boy burdened by the weight of expectation and possessed of powers beyond his years. His Six Eyes tell him he is a monster, an indomitable force with venomous fangs and bloodstained claws. His soul, however, sees just a child.

    Itadori travels back in time to when Geto and Gojo are still in school. Tragedy has not yet been put into motion, and Itadori will do whatever it takes to put an end to it, even if it kills him - especially if it kills him.

    Summary

    [Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.

    “Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.

    What the fuck?

    “Sokka, I—”

    Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.

    What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]

    Or:

    An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.

    But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.

    Yeah, nah.
