    Summary

    Cody felt something fragile in his bones that shaped each and every atom of his being. He traced out the aurebesh lettering of his name on the pod above him and then beneath the empty space, he traced it again, in mando’a.
    Cody. Kote.
    Glory.
    He understood that the people had chosen him to stand up for them as the leader of this planet. They looked to him and saw their planet’s glory resting on his shoulders.
    Cody didn’t feel ready. He didn’t feel fit for the job, uneasy and uncertain under his skin, but the vode had put their faith in him.
    Kote. His name did not appear out of a vacuum. It had originally meant in battle, but Cody could adapt. Would adapt.
    He closed his eyes and imagined that he was in one of the deserted hallways out by the decanting rooms where there were tiny port windows looking out over the expanse of ocean that made up Kamino. As the ocean swirled in his mind’s eye, Cody thought of the glory of his people, the legacy he wanted to give them more than anything and how he would work to get them there. 
    They were the Kaminoans, now.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan gets into a sticky situation with the Mandalorian Empire on his one of his missions as Jedi Knight, only to save one of their kids and ends up being hunted so the dad can propose.

    —---------------------------------------

    “We can all agree on one thing. The Jetii should be returned to Mandalore.”

    “Oya!” Most of the advisers replied.

    “Then Mand’alor Fett, we as the council of advisors advice you to get that Jetii.”

    For a moment, everything was blissfully silent. Jango enjoyed it for the moment before announcing, “Set off to the Jetiise, put a bounty out within our channels alone. A hefty reward for any verd that returned the Ge’tal Jetii to me.”

    Let the hunt begin

    Summary

    Obi-Wan has successfully started his mission to reshape the past and make sure that Darth Sidious will never again wreak such havoc over the galaxy.

    Now all he’s got to do is stop Palpatine’s attempts to destroy the senate, keep Anakin safe in the temple, figure out where all the Jedi are going, convince the Council to avoid a war, keep Dooku in the light, make a Force Goddess proud and find time for tea with Padme.

    All in a second-life’s work.

    Summary

    Maedhros Fëanorion died as the First Age died, falling with his Silmaril into a chasm of fire rent within the earth, forever lost. That is the tale that has always been told. That is what everyone has always known.

    Two ages of the world later, on the plains of the Pelennor Fields as the battle slowly dies around them, the Fellowship find out that the story they've heard isn't quite true.

    Summary

    Every now and again—typically late at night, when his mind was trying and failing to internalise the hurricane of weird shit that happened to be his life—Desmond wondered about how all this will end. Abstrego can throw around technical-sounding jargon until the cows go home, but even they probably knew that rendering genetic memories in three dimensions just meant fucking around with soul magic.

    Every guy can be a babygirl but it takes a man to be a single mother.
