    Summary

    The ancient Galactic Republic is dying slowly—an ugly death of corruption, sprawl, and decay—with the sin of slavery hanging over its every triumph. The beleaguered Jedi Knights are too few to adequately patrol and police the entire Republic, and are faced with complacency and greed at every turn. Born into a crumbling and stagnant galaxy, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are faced with the greatest challenge of all: themselves.

    Obi-Wan likes rules and control. When the galaxy around him stops playing by the rules, what is a Jedi to do? Anakin needs rules and restraint. When the galaxy around him conspires to set him loose, what is his Master to do? Falling slowly or falling fast, falling through lust or falling through wrath—it all leads to delusion and moral decay. What can be born from the ashes?

    Or, how Obi-Wan and Anakin fell to the dark side, obtained their revenge, and saved the galaxy in the process.

    Summary

    Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies, and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.

    [An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].

    Summary

    “We don’t have any choice. Okay, Eli, if you can hear me, then remember to keep your head clear.”

     

    Over the cacophony of blasterfire and through the agony wracking his body, his delirious mind seizes onto a single word.

     

    Remember.

    There is still blasterfire and some shouting, but his grasp on the waking world must be slipping away, because he cannot understand the familiar voices. He is vaguely aware that he is slipping, slipping...
    Until it seems that he is less slipping than being
    pulled. Towards what, he does not know.

     

    (Eight long years into a hopeless war with the Grysk Hegemony, Eli Vanto falls in battle and wakes up as a cadet on the Strikefast. What he does next will change the fate of the galaxy forever.)

    Summary

    His mother did not think Spock understood loneliness for what it is, that he did not understand the way it creeps unbidden into a heart and splits like a wound. She did not think he felt its socketed mouth twisted open and yawning at the heart of him, hungry to be fed.
