    Summary

    Given an appointment five nights north, Gawain believes he will be acting as a would-be knight to a forgotten lord and sets upon his path with a heavy heart. Instead, he finds a softer and stranger duty waiting for him.

    Gawain can feel his hand trembling as the lord brings it to his lips. All of it is for a singular reason: that it is so deeply right to be touched in this way by another man. The press of a kiss to the top of his hand causes a satisfaction to wash over him that he did not know was possible before now.

    “A simple start to what I would have you engage with here,” the lord explains, and Gawain does not understand but he nods all the same.

    Summary

    In which Gawain dies and is, thereafter, given the chance to live.

    “My Lord,” he says, closing his eyes and bowing his head. “My thanks, always, for what you provide for me here.”

    “My Knight.” That voice, Gawain can no longer pretend it does not roil into his gut with a fierceness. “I provide you nothing that is not yours to take.”

    There is a touch upon Gawain’s face, a hand against his skin. He leans into it, and then the Lord is gone.

    Summary

    Gawain does not step forward when that fateful challenge is issued at court, but makes a different wager instead. Caught between the old gods and the new at the height of summer solstice, he does not leave home but makes a journey all the same.

    “Who would you have me pray to?”

    “A dangerous question to ask, looking the way you do. For I would like all pretty things to pray to me, but I take care not to make such selfish requests.”

    “Selfish or not, I will pray only to you from now on.”

    Summary

    Gideon had no proof, but her gut told her that Cytherea was responsible for Sextus' death. If Harrow pursued his killer with the single-minded intensity that Gideon expected her to, then their paths were going to cross very soon.

    "Text me," said Gideon. She was careful not to touch Harrow's skin with her own, lest she notice that Gideon was a little too cold, even for late winter. "I'll help with whatever stupid shit you're up to.”

    [Gideon pretends to be human while assisting her childhood nemesis with killing a vampire.]

    Summary

    Boba's own hair has begun to grow back in, he’s recently discovered. It is a little patchy now, but as it gets longer, it will cover up the scars and the gaps. He pulls his hand through Din’s in the meantime and watches him shift his cheek against the bedclothes.

    The galaxy has taught him the name for what he feels when he looks at him these days. It has also taught him that he is not allowed to have that thing.

    If he does, it will be taken away.

    (Boba and Fennec find each other and then Din, and Boba struggles to let himself have the kindness that comes his way.)

    Summary

    Since a disastrous training exercise as a cadet, Cody's been hiding his connection to the Force, and he's pretty happy with the arrangement so far. He's a clone, and clones don't get to be Jedi. But he's just been captured by the Separatists, his secret's proving impossible to keep, and he's being drawn into plans he doesn't understand; he may never be a Jedi, but he's going to have to make a choice about what he will be.

    Summary

    Canderous Ordo is old. If life ever had anything in store for him beyond war and blood, it's passed him now, and like so many of his people after a war, he's gone looking for a new one.

    Van is young, and seems more than a little mad. Their past is mired in confusion, and their morals are murky.

    Somehow, the pair of them just fit.

    Summary

    “Are you that good without a staff in your hand?” Canderous finds himself asking. Van's attention shifts to him. “Or have you neglected that facet of your training?”

    “Are you any good without your blaster?”

    Mission snickers. Canderous’ mouth pulls to the side. “I'm Mandalorian,” he says by way of explanation. “Figure it out.”

    Van smirks. “I don't let myself get disarmed, Ordo.”

    “Sounds like excuses.”

    “If you can get this staff away from me,” Van says, looking him up and down, “You can find out.”

    Summary

    “You are all descended from General Yoda?” Cody asks.

    “Did I not tell you?” The General asks.

    No, he did fucking not.

    “Oh. My apologies, then. This whole situation must have been absolutely baffling. Yes, the Council stuck the Count with us because we’re the rest of his lineage. They feel that he is less likely to turn tail if he feels like he has a party he needs to protect.”

    When asked if he’d wanted the 104th or the 212th, Cody should have said the 104th.

    “Cody? Are you upset, dear?”

    (In the last year of the war, Count Dooku snaps and changes sides. He wants Sidious crushed, and he knows just how to ruin him. First, however, he needs to get his hands on the only one who knows what Sidious is truly capable of. Thankfully, his lineage is there to help, regardless of whether they or their unhappy Clone Commanders want to or not.)

    Summary

    Once the Kenobi floodgates are opened, they cannot be closed. Cody has apparently been keeping an itemized list of disagreements, and he is determined to tell Rex each and every one of them.

    Kenobi refuses to listen to Cody’s input. Kenobi throws himself into battle with no regard for previously established battle plans. Kenobi uses the Force so recklessly and obviously that every undercover assignment is blown within the first few minutes. Kenobi is a hypocrite who berates Cody for sidestepping protocol, but flouts it himself at every opportunity.

    CT-7567: bet you wish you had skywalker now

    CC-2224: I wish for nothing but the cold embrace of space

    Right. And he says Kenobi’s dramatic.

    ***

    Marshal Commander Cody and High General Obi-Wan Kenobi of the 212th cannot stand each other. Rex doesn't know why this is his problem.

    Summary

    “I’m an activist, Mr. Morgan,” Merlin explains.

    “I see that,” Knight Gwaine says.

    “I want this place to exist here forever. Forever and ever and ever.”

    “You mean until King Arthur climbs out of it?”

    “Yes,” Merlin says. “But after that, too, since I’m not like, 100% positive that he’s going to know what a fish ladder is. I figure we’ve got to do some work on that and probably his English before we let him go off into the wild.”

    “Right. Obviously, the English. But what happens if someone tries to put another body in the lake while you’re here?”

    Merlin doesn’t have an answer to that.

    (Three women's bodies are dumped into a lake, and detective Gwaine Morgan is assigned the case. He does not anticipate said lake to be guarded by a local 12 year-old and is even less prepared for what happens when the 12 year-old becomes his murderer's next target.)

    Summary

    Once, back in Kirkwall, Cullen had an arrangement with a member of the city guard that satisfied his needs. But time changed all things, and he despaired of ever finding a similar arrangement again - that was, until he met The Iron Bull. Problem being that Bull seemed to care far more about sorting out the nitty-gritty of such an arrangement than Cullen ever has.

    Summary

    There, peeking out from between the grasses, was the glittering and unmistakable head of a grass snake.

    Cody blinked.

    Twice.

    “I – “ he began, and realized he didn’t quite know what to say. “Forgive me, are you – the grass snake, there?”

    The grass snake’s head twitched – as if reacting to his voice. He saw a flash of its forked tongue, and –

    “That would be me, yes.”

    Summary

    “How’d you get stuck with babysitting duty anyway?” Boba asked one day during dinner.

    “Oh, I volunteered for this,” Fox told him.

    “Why the kark would you do that?”

    “Language,” Fox admonished. “Well, I was just living my normal boring life and I thought to myself, ‘I don’t get called an ugly piece of banthashit often enough.’ So I decided to adopt you.”

    Boba snorted. “You’re a psychopath,” he told Fox.

    “I’ve been called worse,” Fox replied breezily.

     

    Boba doesn’t find a new family and Fox doesn’t become anybody’s dad; an adoption story.

    Boba Fett likes to be in control. Din Djarin feels more out of control with every passing day. Giving control over to Boba would make both of them happy. Din just doesn't understand why that has to be so complicated.

     

    (Or, rebuilding an entire culture is hard. Boba helps, more or less.)

    There’s a water problem, so naturally it falls to Boba to track down the source of the supposed leak. Too bad that seems to be down in the lower levels of the Palace. The one place even Jango Fett warned Boba not to go.
    Maybe he’ll bring Din.

    Unit CC-1010 of the Coruscant Guard has... not quite malfunctioned, but there is certainly something off about it. Even with its Behavioral Chip turned off, it continues with the same patterns and behaviors as before. The rest of them are at a loss as to how to help this GuardUnit recover.

    Well, all but one, anyway.

    Summary

    “I’m not going to survive tomorrow,” Cassus says, quietly, conversational, the rough edges of Mando’a turning smooth and silvery and fluid in his mouth. His back is to the lit holotable, the only source of light in the room other than flickering indicators on banks of computers, and he leans against it a little further with a tired sigh, cracks his neck and rubs one hand over his forehead, pushing his hair out of his eyes with an absent motion. It’s been a long day, between checking the minefields and fueling every fighter and basilisk and cruiser they have and distributing every piece of beskar still in storage - long enough he feels justified in reaching his hand down to the shelf under the table’s edge and wrapping gloved fingers around a pair of bottles. He sets them down on the table’s surface next to him with a quiet thunk, pops the tops in a pair of quick, practiced motions, and lifts one to offer the figure in the corner of his eye, still standing facing the projections spinning lazily through the air above the holotable’s surface. “Drink?”

    [or: the night before the battle of Dxun.]
