Summary
"She’s swallowing blood and words and tears by the mouthful by the time Jester and Yasha are settling down. She manages to crack a joke that pulls a soft chuckle from both of them. It makes Jester stop sending weird glances her way and Yasha’s heartbroken eyes, from where she dragged one of the two beds under the window, don’t follow her quite so closely."
Beau's dealt with a lot the last couple days and it finally all comes tumbling out.

Summary
"They’ve been traveling together for three days now, and if that self-righteous, sanctimonious, supercilious paladin opens her mouth to spout about Bahamut’s glorious purpose one more time, Allura is going to cast Hold Person on her and dump her off a cliff."
Three times Kima saved Allura's life, and one time Allura returned the favor.

Summary
In another world, another life, the moment of hesitation goes no further. Bastila Shan, consumed by fear, raised from birth to place utter faith in the Council’s judgement, keeps her silence.
Lie feeds upon half-truth upon lie and each careful sidestep only adds fuel to the smoldering, bitter contempt. Shown no honesty, Revan offers none. Secrets and fears are entrusted to a woman with no reason to treat them as anything but weapons, twisted to pierce the hearts of those who pressed them into her hands. The last hope of the Jedi, used and discarded one too many times, kneels on bloodstained marble at her feet. The once breaker of chains, turned in rage to bind the galaxy, returns. The Dark Lord rises from fury and flame and it is as inevitable as the death of stars.
In another world, another life, the Republic falls.
This is not that story.

She doesn't succeed.

Summary
"I guess this is as close to a sign as I'll ever get that you're listening, asshole," Beau says. She leans back carefully, relaxing against the bundle of branches and letting the tension in her shoulders unwind.
“I thought you should know. We got her back. It was a fucking struggle, to be clear, but fuck, man. We really did it.”
--
Beau takes a moment alone to catch Molly up about everything that's happened since he's been gone, and maybe to think about herself as well.

There’s something new in the air, something obvious yet intangible, like a rise in temperature, a shift in scent.
It’s her. It’s the familiar. A fey spirit in the form of a bat is chewing at Essek’s earrings, and for the first time, his towers are home to a living creature aside from him.
(In which Essek adjusts to life with his new familiar.)

Summary
“Percy?” Keyleth called. Almost fifteen years later, she looked exactly the same. “You…uh…you can come in now.”
Both Scanlan and Percy instantly zeroed in on her familiar, profoundly awkward expression. She was worried—but not exactly afraid, more…uneasy.
“Is everything alright, Keyleth?” Percy asked. “Are Vex and the baby—”
“Vex is fine,” she quickly reassured him. “The baby…the baby…well, he’s healthy and strong, but you’d better come and see for yourself.”

Summary
This was not a story about love or about death, not in the end, not the part that mattered. It was a story about choosing the life you wanted to live and hanging onto that, against all perils, all harms. Arwen wrapped her hands around Aragorn’s, the sword calluses on one, the ink stains on the other, her Ranger, her soldier, her king and her friend. She held on tight, kissed his brow, and thought about the rebuilding of the north wall.
Arwen and Luthien both had been asked to choose between peace and creation; eternal light, or lighting the flame themselves. They were Prometheus, the titan descended to earth. Every death they pulled out of Arwen was worth it for the things she got to build.
