Summary
Cere shakes her head again, lowering her hands to her lap and lacing her fingers together. “I’m… not sure. Could be nothing.”
“Cere, if you really think this is a trap –”
“It’s not that,” she says. “It’s – a feeling of foreboding. I’m not sure if it’s this job or something else. Like I said, it might be nothing.” She shoots Cal a ghost of a smile. “Might be Greez’s kath shank.”
“Hey, have I ever given any of you food poisoning?” Greez bustles past them on his way to the navicomputer. “I think not!”
(Middle-aged schoolteachers would probably make terrifying Inquisitors, so the Mantis crew attempts to break a Force-sensitive woman out of prison before the Empire finds out her secret. It ends poorly. They try to pick up the pieces, afterwards... which would be easier if they didn’t need to leave a piece behind.)

Summary
Prauf wants to visit a scavenger friend of his and pick up a piece of wood he needs for a little repair project.
Cal just wants to avoid anything and everything relating to this karking Empire Day nonsense.
The two of them go on a short road trip across the wastelands. Featuring curry, Force echoes, a borrowed speeder they’d better not damage or else, relationship drama, some clay, a bit of scrapping, bad weather, an escape pod, Storytime with Prauf™, very breakable bones, and Tabbers (mostly against his will).

Summary
Docked for supplies in between Bogano and Zeffo, Greez walks in on the Mantis’s new resident slitting his wrist.
It’s not what it looks like, but the actual explanation isn’t a whole lot more comforting.

Summary
Cal crash-lands on Bracca at age thirteen, gets poisoned a few months later, and promptly spends the next five years subsisting on safe, reliable ration bars (except when he’s stashing them away for emergencies or forced to eat bad medcenter food). He’s just barely scraping by, but he manages not to starve, even when the Guild’s being a real pain in the ass about actually feeding its scrappers.
Everything works out fine until he winds up on the Mantis, instead. Suddenly he has a new purpose, along with some new crewmates who are way too invested in finding out why Cal doesn’t karking eat… and trying to do something about it.

Summary
A collection of short fics, loosely connected by Cal’s Mid Rim-sized sleep deficit.
(1) Cal Kestis is nine years old and has caf where his blood ought to be.
(2) being a Padawan means facing your fears, like asking for help when you need it. and possibly running into the terrifying medic who works first shift.
(3) Cal gets captured by Separatists. rather than hurt him, they try sleep-depriving him into insanity.
(4) despite planning to keep his head down and stay out of trouble on Bracca, Cal gets roped into a Shenanigan anyway.
(5) Cal is tired. and lonely. and traumatized. and tired. and depressed. and overworked. did i mention tired? he's so tired.
(6) there are good ways of coping with your problems, and there’s whatever Cal’s chosen.
(7) Cal cautiously gets to know his new crewmates. also, they go on a supply run and he tells BD-1 a story.
(8) what Cal wants is to stay on the couch and wait for the painkillers to kick in so his everything stops aching. what he gets is a distant cry for help in the Force.
(9) a downed Republic ship that may be haunted, a pair of Jedi who may be dead, strange dreams that may mean something, and a local resident who may be missing.
