    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of two 'missing scene' / 'post-S1 expansion' works by these authors that, while flawed, really capture the air these two characters had towards the end of the first season. They give both the voice to speak on what has happened to each and air their trauma in a manner that doesn't eclipse the other and is respectful to both. The only major issue I have is that Jinx is very much a device to enable the discussion of that trauma, by making certain implied actions explicit, rather than a character on her own, but she kinda did that to herself didn't she?

    The other work is With A Sword Between Us but I'm not giving that a bookmark because it would essentially be identical.

    Summary

    It begins with a recorder. It ends with a red cassette. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

    Abby lived. Ellie didn’t. The world got its cure, but no one ever asked them what it cost.

    Not until now. Not until Dina Haddad.

    On the edge of seventeen years later, Abby Anderson finally tells their story.

    “Word of advice? Don’t let her know you’re her babysitter. Try to make friends. She’ll hate you less. Hell, maybe she’ll even listen to you.” Marlene scoffed at the thought. “Trust me, it’ll make your job easier.”

    Abby bit the inside of her lip. “Did I do something wrong?”

    “This isn’t punishment, Abby. You’re close in age, same gender. Just make it work.”

    Abby straightened, arms tucked behind her. “Anything else, Commander?”

    Stepping closer, she gave Abby’s shoulder a squeeze, surprisingly gentle. “Her name’s Ellie. She likes comic books. She’s immune.”

    Or: The Last of Us Part 1 with Abby instead of Joel.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Just a genuinely interesting concept. I don't think the execution's entirely consistant, there's bits of E & A's story that feel off towards the middle, but all of the present moments are lovely and I believe the emotional connections between each of the main characters.

    Summary

    Jedi Padawan Ruluec has a secret. She can't tell the Jedi Council that she's a woman. She's scared of how they will react, and of the pain that quiet meditation brings her. On her last mission before she plans to attempt the Knight Trials, she is sent with her Master to negotiate a trade deal. The only problem is: the local King has hired a woman powerful in the dark side of the Force to negotiate.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I fully subscribe to the idea that the Old/High Republic era Jedi Order was probably a terrible place to be trans or have some other condition that would "unbalance" you.

    The Jedi are diverse in language and species because the Force can pop up anywhere and in anyone, it's pragmatic. But anything that might adversely affect mental state or even change the way a being interacts with the Force, that's too much effort to deal with.

    I enjoy the idea of Strangelove reading shitty pulps
