    Summary

    “Don’t believe I got to thank you properly earlier, Mando.” Cobb grins at him, chances a guess at where his eyes are likely to be in the murk of his visor and turns. His back hits the exposed rib bone first, the flesh long since stripped away from the Tuskens and, in the morning, it’ll be no different to any other sun-bleached skeleton in the desert and Cobb will be alone once more. “Think I’d like to rectify that now, if you’re amenable.”
    -
    Cobb kneels for Mando beneath the skeleton of the Krayt before he leaves.

    Summary

    In support of the upcoming Clone Rights bill, Senator Amidala organises a press conference so that the Free Republic Press can get to know some of the clones who fought and won the war.

    Cody’s not sure this is a great idea, and he’s proved right when the questions end up being a bit more… personal than he expected.

    Summary

    “Uh,” Cody says, tightening his grip on his rifle. “General?”

    “Yes, I see it,” Kenobi answers, his hand flickering to his lightsaber. “I think it might be best if we evacuated, Commander.”

    “Yes, sir,” Cody agrees, raising his rifle even though he’s not sure blaster fire will do much against the ways of his general’s mysterious Force.

     

    Or, with a little help from a mysterious artefact in a crumbling temple, Cody and Obi-Wan’s mutual pining saves the Republic.

    Summary

    Unexpected winter weather comes through during a mission and Soap has never in his life been so fucking cold. But thankfully, Ghost isn’t about to let hypothermia be the thing that takes him out.

    First step? Get warm. Second step? Don’t think about the wind.

    Summary

    But here, now, Soap is like a live wire, sparking all over the place. And he's not sure how he hasn't set this safehouse on fire with it. With the flashing glints and the white-hot heat.

    He doesn't know how anyone could miss it. Least of all Ghost, who's observant all on his own, but when it comes to Soap, misses nothing.

    Summary

    Ghost's fought for air before. He's been strangled, choked, waterboarded, and gotten the wind knocked out of him after a fall. But somehow, despite everything he's been through, he's never fully lost his breath.

    Until now. And the thing that finally steals it all? Straight from out of his lungs like a there's a fucking vacuum shoved down his throat?

    It's when Soap's nearly taken away from him.

    Summary

    Ghost tells himself he can’t have it—Soap’s warm hands on his skin, strong fingers working away the tension in his tired muscles, the steady heartbeat under his ear as he finally manages to sleep through the night—he can't have it.

    But there’s really no getting rid of Johnny, is there?

    Summary

    The Kaminoan tilts his head with a small smile. As if he’s trying to be indulgent for the Jedi’s sake. “Well yes, you and your fellow Jedi, Master Kenobi. They were made for the Jedi - and since the Jedi serve the Republic. It was implied they would do so too.”

    ‘They were made for the Jedi.’ Obi-Wan thinks in a daze. Clinging to that one sentence and grappling with all the implications buried within it as the Force around him pulses with tension. ‘For...for us? For me?’

    What can that possibly mean?

    ----------------

    Or; the Clones are really, and truly, perfectly made for the Jedi. The real issue is that it seems the Jedi are just as perfectly made for the Clones. This throws a major wrench in the works for the Darkside when the Jedi aren't very willing to let their men die. Not even on the senate's orders.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan can’t shake the feeling, as he lifts one leg and then the other under the thin sheet on his cot, that Cody’s smile must be lovely, and he would like to see it before war’s end.

     

    Or: Five times Obi-Wan is alone with Cody, and one time Cody is alone with Obi-Wan.

    Summary

    When his General comms him, asking for his help in a vitally important infiltration mission to Zygerria, searching for the lost Togruta colonists, Cody cannot refuse.

    He kits up in the awful, dark, heavy, impractical Zygerrian armor without complaint, helps Kenobi with his own straps and buckles, jams the tall, heavy, horrible helmet on his head and stands in perfect parade rest and stares out the viewscreen.

    He doesn’t like this plan. It’s extremely risky, there’s so much that could go wrong - hells, for all they know the Togrutas could’ve already been sold and this whole thing is just a waste of their time. Even if everything still somehow goes perfectly according to plan, they’re supposed to give Commander Tano to the Zygerrian Queen as a gift, and Cody’s seen the outfit they’ve got her in.

    [or: what if Cody went along on the mission to Zygerria, instead of Rex?]

    Summary

    “You planning of making a mess in my town?”
    The answer is immediate, right to the point. “You planning on shooting me?”
    Cobb decides to play it safe: he doesn’t remove his hand from the blaster. “Not if it can be avoided.”
    The stranger’s lips break apart in more than one place when he produces another little grin, a sarcastic twitch, but somehow Cobb knows that the smile is not for him: it’s meant for the stranger himself. “Maybe it can’t,” the guy says after a beat. “Maybe it would be better that way.”

    Summary

    Vanth put his hands up quickly in a surrender. “I’m not asking for it back,” he said. “Your code says it’s yours. You did your half of our deal and then some. But you taking it leaves me without any armor at all. I’m going to need something. And with your answers of how people have joined the Mandalorians… you said I’d make a good one.”

    Din leaned back.

    ---

    In the aftermath, Vanth makes a request that Din finds himself unwilling to deny. With brewing feelings, he agrees to train him as a Mandalorian, and both set foot on a winding path together. Sequel to Little Talks.

    The kid continued to sniffle, but at Vanth’s gentle bouncing, seemed to calm. The marshal looked down at him with the same smile that Din had thought of as cocky, but now it seemed kind. The baby made a small whimper, but the distress was fading, receding from Din’s mind.

    “There ya go,” Vanth murmured. “No worries.”

    ---

    During their night with the Tuskens, Din and Cobb get to talk.

    Ocular (adj): of/or connected with the eye
     
    He was in the eye of the storm. He was surrounded by the calmness of it, by the void of the tempest. He was wrapped and swaddled in the quiet. The tranquil air insulated him from the force of the wind and hail. He had been protected by the shield of it, and it gave him strength to outlast.
