    Summary

    “Hello, Thrawn,” Eli bids him, a smile shaping his lips, the heat he feels in his chest echoed in the curve of his mouth, the way his eyes resist the urge to gloss over with some amalgamation of emotion that demands to manifest in the precursor to tears.

    He sees the subtle shift as Thrawn lowers his guard. He takes one step, another half dozen, and they clasp forearms, their fingers squeezing tightly. Eli leans in, his left arm comes up and around to brace Thrawn's back in the briefest, most professional version of an embrace he can offer: a compromise between Human sentimentality and Chiss stoicism.

    Or, a story about finding something you hadn't realized you'd lost in the first place.

    Summary

    The first time Eli dreams of Thrawn like this, he's twenty-four. It's Ascension Week.

    Or: Eli slowly comes to grips with having a big gay crush on his infuriating, life-ruining, absolutely exasperating, completely uninterested CO and everything that comes after.

    Summary

    The dragon arrived early in the morning, and by noon the entire village was in a panic in the town hall. No one in the village knew anything about dragons, aside from what they’d heard in fairy tales and stories, and the plans for dealing with it were about that level of sophisticated.

    “We’re not sacrificing a virgin to the dragon,” Viktor said in exasperation.

    “Well what would you do?!” the mayor demanded.

    “I’m going to go talk to it,” Viktor said reasonably, and got up from his seat and went to do just that.

    Summary

    Cleave the pin (slang, 1595) To bring a man to orgasm.

    It’s a sobering thought for someone facing middle age to wrestle with, this notion one might be less than appealing in bed, and while he’d always known he was no Don Juan, Stede thought himself perfectly adequate in the art of making love. But ‘perfectly adequate,’ when facing the prospect of reuniting with the man that may very well be the love of his life, feels (pathetic, mortifying, distressing) like a quandary.

    Summary

    Ensign Ufsa'phy'ren remembers being over the moons about her first assignment. An aide aboard a warship? This was the kind of commission someone like her could typically only dream about.

    Now, she dreads it. She had heard the rumors about Mitth'raw'nuruodo's early career, but wasn't he old now? Surely he had figured out how to follow the unspoken rules set forth by family politics.

    (A companion piece to Revenant.)

    Summary

    Pellaeon looked over his shoulder, a line of confusion between his eyebrows.

    “Did you say something, sir?” he asked.

    Thrawn’s head was bowed. He fiddled absently with the controls on his holopod. He was silent so long that Pellaeon opened his mouth to ask him again.

    “I asked if you’d like to stay for a drink,” Thrawn said more clearly.

    Summary

    When his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he spotted Thrawn — out of uniform — in the small kitchen off to the side. As Pellaeon entered the room, he saw that Thrawn was sitting at the counter, a half-empty bottle of liquor at his elbow. There was no corresponding glass to be seen; apparently, he’d been drinking from the bottle.

    “Ah,” said Pellaeon dryly. “I’ve interrupted your nightcap.”

    Summary

    "I…I've only ever been called CC-2224, Sir."

    His walking physically stutters and halts a little at that, and he frowns unhappily. There it is, yet another reason to despise the Empire; their lack of humanity. For a moment, he finds himself fuming in it before he swallows, taking a painful breath and shakily exhaling his anger into the force. He has seen what it can do to the best of them, and he cannot afford to fall. 

    "I'm not calling you that," Obi-Wan replies curtly, his shoulders tense.

    Summary

    The Ascendancy is not as it once was. New leaders have ushered in an age of change. Around 13 ABY, the Syndicure approves a mission to the Wah'ahaunta Nebula to protect its capital planet Yalu from an impending Grysk attack. The Yalunese people have already removed themselves from Grysk influence several years earlier, aided by former Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo and the remnants of his Imperial fleet.

    Admiral Eli'van'to is sent as an emissary of the Ascendancy to protect the Yalunese people and establish relations with this potential gateway to Chiss space. But that is not his only mission. The Patriarch of House Mitth has also tasked him with righting wrongs that are decades overdue.
