    Summary

    A prequel story to the Bad Batch show. What happened between their appearance in Clone Wars and the first episode of The Bad Batch?

    A story of how Echo changed from the broken man pulled out of the cryptochamber into the Clone Force 99 member blasting droids in the pilot episode.

    A story of mourning, loss and healing. A story of trauma and recovery. A story of finding a new family and a new life. A story of bonding, of hardship and persevering. The story of a clone that came back to life.

    (This is me trying to give Echo some actual screen time. Watch me try to give the boys some actual personality and relationships.)

    *Updated - Chapter 13 now up!*

    The series gets kinda weird, but part 1 is really good.

    Summary

    Echo had never had any particular talents. He'd never sought to be special, never tried to break the mould. He'd never aspired to be anything more than a clockwork soldier, watching his far more brilliant brothers rise up above him. He'd never expected to wake up one day and find out that he was, in fact, the last of them.

    Funny old galaxy, really.

    Now he was in the Bad Batch and one thing he was rapidly beginning to understand is this: in a galaxy filled with combat engineers, the Bad Batch are artists. Echo had never really known much about art. At least... that's what he'd always thought. New body, new squad - maybe it was time to look at things in a whole new way.

    A story about art, war, coping, hanging on, letting go, restoration, reforging, plotting in a brig, military intelligence isn't, Wrecker's diplomacy doesn't, cooking, the thin line between genius and madness, starting over, struggling with loss, team bonding, art therapy, guerilla knitting therapy, big boom therapy, shaking down shinies for fun and profit, guilt, rage, forgiveness, waging war by fitting in...

    ... and making your peace with standing out.
