    Summary

    As the ship makes contact with the shifting sands, hot enough to glaze the surrounding sand, CC-2224 thinks about the rebel on the ship. He wonders why the conviction felt familiar and alien at the same time.

    CC-2224 crash lands on Tatooine. He is found by a young boy with a penchant for fairy tales and a conviction that endings are never permanent.

    Summary

    Captain Piett knows a man like him won’t have a grand career in the Imperial Navy, a nobody from an Outer Rim backwater who listens to his favorite engineering textbook to fall asleep and who can’t take the elevators on the Death Star without retching. It’s alright, he tells himself. Lack of ambition keeps you alive. And then he witnesses Darth Vader kill Grand Moff Tarkin.

    Inspired by lautdalam’s bang the war-drums series. While torturing Leia aboard the Death Star Vader realizes she’s his daughter. From there, things slowly but surely spiral out of his control.

    Warnings are at the end of Ch1.

    Summary

    “Perhaps this might do it,” she hummed. Bringing her hands together, the Jedi bowed, just low enough the tips of her front lekku brushed the floor. The gesture served two purposes: a greeting, certainly, but also a momentarily stronger connection to the vibrations in the metal, giving Shaak a more precise peek at the intruder’s heartbeat and rate of breathing.

    Reassuringly, both slowed a touch. And then, more reassuringly, the stranger bowed back: one hand held up flat, the other folded into a fist before they pressed together, and then a perfectly precise bend of ninety degrees from the waist, even deeper than Shaak Ti’s own.

    (Cassandra Cain, Kamino, and the benefit of understanding body language above all others.)

    Summary

    Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked, hoping a direct question would yield answers. The old man seemed adept at side-stepping information when asked a bit more deftly. “I’ve never heard of a Master with your level of talent.”

     

     

     

     

    The old man seemed surprised. “If you’ve never heard of one like me, then what good would my name be? You wouldn’t know it.”

     

    Obi-Wan felt a flare of irritation, and quickly squashed it. The old man blinked, as if he hadn’t expected to feel that, and he smiled, sadly. “My name is Luke,” he said, as if a peace offering.

     

    The force trilled in his ear, and Obi-Wan frowned. "Luke what?" He asked, and the old man, this Luke, smiled wryly.

     

    "Luke Skywalker.”
