Summary
Soren tried and failed multiple times to say something in response, but he averted his gaze instead. Having this sort of conversation with the one person he had been certain Ike would choose all those years ago… it made him ache with emotions he didn’t want to name.
“Ah well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. If he’s anything at all like Ike then you’re probably the center of his whole world. Hard not to fall for a guy like that, huh?” Ranulf chuckled.
Soren frowned. Center of his whole world? Soren had never doubted the fact that Ike loved him, but… the phrasing seemed a bit… much. Surly it was Ike who was the center of Soren’s world, not the other way around. Ike had had so many other options.
Like the cat beside him...
“What are you talking about? To Ike, you were his only option. Don’t… tell me you didn’t know that?” Ranulf asked.---

Summary
With an indolent air, Luke rests his elbows on the railing, leaning forward to better take in the action.
Below the Mandalorian is already in motion, beskar a glinting contrast to black walls and floors. Luke’s eyes trail him as he moves, bitter and gluttonous. Watching as Din takes stock of the concrete half-walls, helmet tilting upward to survey the turrets above. Exploring terrain before the simulation is initiated, his professionalism unaffected by the tension that still lingers beneath armor.
Compartmentalization is a skill Luke learned involuntarily; a way to cope with the horror that was once his daily existence. Din, by contrast, embodies the very practice of it. That rigid separation between self and other.
The Mandalorian’s inner world is so vast, Luke could get lost in it.

Imperial High Prince Skywalker has taken himself a bodyguard.
The Mandalorian, and the rest of the galaxy, don’t know what’s coming for them.

Summary
Dorothy Gale has found herself in a strange new world, with a target on her head and some very odd new friends.
The journey to the Emerald City is long and fraught, and nothing is what it seems.
This story explores Act II of Wicked, primarily from the POV of the Scarecrow
(I am making an effort to avoid spoilers in the summary for people just scrolling through. There's a more detailed summary in the Author Notes)
EDIT--Under slight revisions! Nothing major, and not really anything pulling from the new movie, but...well, I wrote this VERY quickly, and I feel it can be improved slightly.

Summary
“It’s good to see you, Melinoë.” Zagreus smiles gently. Too gently. This is a place of rest, yes, but it is also a place of necessity.
He doesn’t belong, Melinoë thinks, and barely keeps her expression steady. It’s an unkind thought. She has it anyway.
---
“Why are you avoiding me, grandfather?” Zagreus sets Gigaros down, gently leaning it against the wall. His voice is as soft as the Elysium grass. Too perfect. Too sweet. Too unreal.It would be so much easier if Zagreus did not remember.
