    Summary

    All his life, Obi-Wan Kenobi had only wanted to be useful, but everyone kept pushing him away. The Order, the AgriCorps, even the slavers who kidnapped him didn't really want him.

    He had nowhere to go after escaping except back to the Order, and even then he wasn't wanted, but he stayed anyway, an invisible and lonely ghost in the deserted parts of the Temple.

    Then one day he met a lonely child who had been a slave, and a lonely teenager-adult who was technically still a slave, and he felt that, maybe, he had something to live for.

    Summary

    Jaskier gets fired from his job as a professor at Oxenfurt because of his political views, though the official excuse is that he plagiarised a fellow professor’s work.

    Assets seized in reparation, and with nothing more than the belongings he can carry, he ends up accepting a job interview to teach at Kaer Morhen. The school is high up in the mountains, considerably smaller than Oxenfurt, and teaches a far more exotic population of students.

    Jaskier has never even met an elf, or a dwarf, or a dragon for that matter. Not to mention anything about the school’s legendary guardians, who, as it happens, don’t seem to like him at all. He can understand. After all, Oxenfurt is far from friendly to anyone that isn’t human. If they don't seem to expect much better from him, he'll just have to show them.

    Summary

    the chronological compilation of all the 'do or do not' snippets and ficlets

    Summary:

    When Obi-Wan dies by Anakin's hand, he expects that to be the end.

    It is not.

    When he opens his eyes again, all of thirteen but with forty extra years of experience, not even the dust, dread, and death on Melidaan can stand in his way. Obi-Wan had seen the worst that the galaxy had to offer twice over - he'll be damned if he lets everything happen the same way for the second time.

    Enter one Jedi Master Yan Dooku, the lynchpin to so many of the galaxy's darkest turns in the future-that-was. Torn between a Master who doesn't seem to want him and a man wearing the face of the Sith who had once tortured him, Obi-Wan makes a choice.

    Everything changes.

    Summary

    When Helix had first found out about Melidaan, a lot of his General's habits slotted neatly into place. Like a broken bone that healed wrong, he'd called it. All he could do was try and mitigate the damage.

    (And if he'd wished, sometimes, that he could have been there earlier, so he could have done something, so he could have helped, well-)

    Now, there is a child in his medbay, looking up at him with wary eyes. Carefully, gently, he crouches, so as not to loom. Offers him a smile.

    "Hi, Ben."

    Or:

    It's hard to ignore your trauma when it's staring you in the face, isn't it?

    Or:

    In which Helix accidentally-on-purpose adopts a kid, Ben reckons with the future, and Qui-Gon is trying to figure out how he managed to piss off an army.

    Summary

    You are not strong in the Sight. To you, the supernatural has become the background noise of a mundane and lonely life. You have no interest in becoming involved with ghosts.

    But they have every interest in you.

    When your eccentric great uncle offers you a job fixing the ‘jewel’ of his collection—the original Fazco Daycare Attendant—you expect a challenge, sure. This was undoubtedly going to be the biggest project of your life. You expect pain, mistakes, and late nights aplenty, and you expect an excruciating learning curve.

    You do not expect the other Daycare Attendants.

     

    *

     

    This is a story about love and memories, about secret things and ghosts.

     

    How can you know what to live for when the world you were built for is gone?
