    Summary

    “I’ll be back before you know it,” Shane’d told him. Carl had to believe him. He didn’t know what he’d do if he didn’t.

    Carl leaned even further over the branch, determined to see him, to spot Shane waiting patiently in his dark blue sedan, having come back for him just like he said he would, because Shane wouldn’t leave him, Mom wouldn’t leave him, they couldn’t have left him alone, because he mattered to them, he mattered—

    Shane’s car wasn’t there. They’d left him behind.

    OR: Carl gets separated from Lori and Shane while they're watching the bombing of Atlanta. He'll never find them again, but it's okay. He can survive just fine on his own. He finds someone else, anyhow, a little sister, and they're going to be okay. They're going to be safe.

    Summary

    When Lori went into labor, the nearest shelter was the dingy boiler room just off of the open area she and Carl were in. It doesn't take long for her to realize that there's only one way that this can go.

    Carl convinces himself to save his sister and not his mother, but he doesn't know what to do after it's all said and done.

    Summary

    “Is that what I think it is?” he mumbles, footsteps faltering. The small group of troopers behind him stops in turn.
    “Smells like it. Ozone,” comes Kix’s voice.
    “It’s really close.”
    “Do you think…”
    “...that’s the jetii “disturbance”?”
    “Rain. Rain on Tatooine!”
    “We don’t know for sure that it’s rain.”
    “What is it then.”

     

    Or: an AU in which it's not Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Padme who find Anakin on Tatooine, but the 501st ten years later, right after Shmi dies at the hands of Tusken Raiders.

    Summary

    “Well, kid,” John says quietly. “What are we going to do now?” Like he actually doesn’t know the answer. Like he doesn’t care. Like he wants Jim to make the decision for him. Like he wants Jim to shoot him. To kill him. To rip him bloody and gorge on the pain he inflicts in return for brutally shredding Jim’s fragile barely formed life.

    Jim clutches the shotgun with sweaty palms, grimy fingers catching on the hot metal, itching for the trigger.

    “I don’t know,” he coughs the words out around a tight ball in his throat.

    ———

    At the end of the movie, Jim makes a different choice.
