    Summary

    “Are you going to kill me right here, Mand’alor?” Obi-Wan manages.

    Fett freezes, his hold loosening, and shoves away from him as if burned, getting to his feet. Obi-Wan coughs, looks up to where the man is watching him with some strange mix of emotion. His shields are exceptionally strong, for a null.

    “There is no Mand’alor,” Fett says finally, and walks right out of the room.

    (Or: 15-year-old Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker crash-lands on Kamino on the one day a cycle when the seas are calm and the storms abate. At the time, he doesn’t think much of it. Later—much later—he will come to see it as an omen.)

    Also the epilogue clones doing a MBMBAM-style podcast is hilarious and I'm curious how many 'brothers' were allowed into the title lol.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson is a performer. Jason Todd-Wayne was clever, quick, and strikingly small (though, if you listen to those who whisper in the shadows, the third has not been true for some time now). For Cassandra Wayne, people are as easy to read as an opened book. Barbara Gordon is one of the most talented hackers in the world. Timothy Drake has sticky fingers and something to prove.

    In another world, perhaps this would lift them to the greatest of heights. Perhaps they would be monuments, role models, heroes from on high.

    This is not that world.

    In this world, rather than smash their foes into smithereens, they choose a more careful approach. Easing burdens. Taking weight.

    One could say that they provide... leverage.

    -

    Or: Sometimes, all you need is a little help from the birds.

    Sometimes, that help is a little less legal than every other cape would like for it to be.

    Summary

    "Here lay the world in tatters and ruins, littered with the remains of once mighty armies and terrible cities. Brought to its knees by the Dread Wolf. The Dread Wolf who was all pride and no wisdom, all guilt and no atonement."

    ---

    Inquisitor Lavellan saved the world, lost the world, then saved it again - loved and lost, loved and lost. Cruel joke upon cruel joke piled atop each other under the disguise of destiny and fate, until the curtains fell on him and Solas with their blades piercing the other's heart. It was a disgustingly poetic end.

    And because his luck was rotten, he wakes at the moment before it all began.

    A second chance or a second doom? Lavellan wasn't sure which he preferred.

    ---

    "Uncover the past, little raven, the Wolf is not the liar here. Those who walk the shadows never leave."

    Summary

    “All children, except one, grow up.”
    ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

    Kon hasn't been a kid in a long time - he's not stuck at sixteen anymore, and he hasn't been for years; he's twenty-three and living his best life. But the past has funny ways of coming back to haunt everyone when they least expect it, and there's no predicting the storm on the horizon for him.

    It starts simply, as do most things. Jon turns sixteen.

    Jon turns sixteen, and Kon suddenly realizes that if anyone were to treat him the way he was treated at sixteen, he'd tear the world apart.

    The revelations, unfortunately, don't stop there.
