    Summary

    Normally, it wouldn’t be unusual, but— Jocasta did not earn her post without listening, and from where she stands in the aisle, gaze fixed upon the back of the young child’s shaking shoulders, she can hear a sniffle reverberate around the space.

     

    There’s a child curled up in the corner of the Archives— and they’re crying.

    Summary

    They sit back, and wait. Obi-Wan’s mind turns from place to place, scanning each sector of his mind as if any single neuron could reveal to him a lie. Could reveal to him a truth far more comforting than the one he has already.

    There is none. There never is.

    The search comes up empty. It always comes up empty.

    ~

    Obi-Wan has escaped the Borg. He's safe.

    There are still a lot of memories to sort through.

    Summary

    (It replays in her mind every single night.

    The way he had fallen—

    The way his lifeblood drained from his body.

    It had stained the earth red.)

    Summary

    Anakin looks to his feet. Looks to the horizon. Looks at his former Master.

    “One more day,” he pleads. “Just one more day.”

    His best friend gives him a small, sad smile.

    “One more day,” Obi-Wan agrees.

    Summary

    Anakin laughs, drowsy with the painkillers the IV feeds into his veins, and smiles at Mace.

    “You’re funny,” he says. “Nobody ever says it, but— you’re funny. I like the jokes you make.”

    Summary

    His General always has been an odd one. Still, he’s one of Heaven’s finest, he knows– and the thought fills him with a rush of pride, as always. It wouldn’t be fitting for an Angel to be proud of oneself– but then again, Cody is far from such, and to praise Obi-Wan is no great sin.

     

    The Angel that Cody follows is far too humble, even the Archangels agree. Windu especially is fond of saying it, that Kenobi ought to have more faith in his own abilities. He is yet to train another, yet to accept a position among the High Generals– and yet, his patience and kindness are legendary, lauded among the younger residents of Heaven.

    Summary

    “You can’t stop me from passing the bill,” Skywalker says, spits. Too defiant for his own good, too defiant for his station. The look on his face makes something in Sidious curdle, furious.

     

    The boy has been far too aggravating, ever since he found out the truth.

    Summary

    Jocasta—

    Meditation does not come easy to her, these days. She will attempt it again later.

    For now, she stares out at the stars from where she sits— the pilot’s seat of the shuttle that she and Ezra share as home— and thinks. It is difficult to do anything else, in these silent moments between.

    Summary

    At Mace’s feet, the grass ripples in a nonexistent breeze. It’s yellowing and slightly stiff: this planet has seen a drought over the last few months, but when they arrived, yesterday, it was raining. Mace and Ezra climbed the mountain’s north face this morning, to see for themselves that the rivers have begun once more to swell and rush.

    Summary

    Tup sits on the floor, legs crossed in front of him, and tries desperately to reach the Force. Repeats the mantra under his breath, over and over again, but he can’t find it, the sense of sunlight and lightly falling rain just out of reach, and he’s so frustrated he could nearly cry.

    If he were on Kamino, tears would be met by good-natured mocking and jibes, followed by the nearest of his ori’vode coming over to comfort him. He’s only six, after all, twelve in nat-born years, and he’s got a reputation among his brothers for being softer than most, to boot.

    Summary

    Glitch’s hands tremble where they grip his newly acquired lightsaber, but he doesn’t filter. Starts the kata, and lets the energy hum through him.

    Master Fay had refused to teach him this, had said that she doesn’t carry a lightsaber and could not teach him to fight with one— but that she knew someone who could.

    Summary

    When Fay was thirty-two, fresh from leaving the Coruscant Temple and not quite old enough to realise that she looked a decade too young, she found that just for a few minutes, her faith was stronger than gravity.

    Summary

    Lightsabers clash, and Luminara Unduli holds her ground.

    She doesn’t move, doesn’t lock her muscles, just makes herself an immovable object and lets her opponent strain against the lock.

    Summary

    Heat from the engines of their ship melts the snow around them when they land planet side, not far from the Temple. Even so, Rey immediately clutches at her arms upon leaving its confines, despite the heavy coat she wears, and Mace knows that by the time they return, their transport will be snowed half under.

    Ilum’s wind bites at his face. He braces. He wonders.

    Summary

    “I am the Second Sister,” she sneers at him on Batuu, and snarls at him on Chalacta, and howls at him here, on Rodia.

    But Dark Woman, for all her failings, believed in second chances.

    Summary

    Blue is just about starting to appear at the eastern corner of the sky when Mace goes to wake Depa.

    “Papa?” She mumbles, voice quiet and ever-so-slightly slurred with the early hour, but the dart of her brown eyes to him in the gloom and the impression of her mind sleep-warm and trusting against his makes something soft rise in Mace’s chest.

    ~

    It’s time for Mace and Depa to move safehouses.

    Summary

    Unread entries from the official memoirs of the hero “Phaser”, the trailblazer known primarily for his work in legalising heroics and the formation of the first government-sanctioned hero team.

    There’s a note on the back, handwritten.

    “This bit of the story won’t ever get published, but it needs to be told. I owe it to everyone who came before me and everyone who will come after, that somewhere there will be proof that All for One is real, and Apollo went down fighting him.”

    Summary

    It's halfway through the reign of the Witch Jadis, the eternal winter fiercer and more savage than ever before.

    As the blizzard picks up, a figure dashes through the forest, leaving the howls of wolves and a trail of blood behind him.
