    Summary

    In one universe, Shaak Ti discovered the practices of decommissioning and reconditioning once she was posted on Kamino. In that universe, the Council did what they could. It still wasn’t enough.

    In this universe, someone slipped up, and the words decommissioning and reconditioning made it into a report sent to GAR High Command. Obi-Wan Kenobi was the first to see it, the first to question it. He was the first to decide it had to end, and he petitioned the Senate for an official ban. Unsurprisingly, he was refused.

    Obi-Wan found that utterly unacceptable. If no one else could or would do it, then he would do whatever it took to protect the clones. But as it turned out…

    All the clones had needed was a little nudge, some support, and a high-ranking officer who would look the other way. Once they had that, it grew from a fight for their lives into a fight for their freedom. And if the clones weren’t going to be given their freedom…

    They were going to take it.

    (Alternately: Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi make the slow descent from dutiful leading members of the GAR to spearheading a rebellion against the very thing they once supported.)

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Summary

    Shikamaru’s never felt chakra so vibrant and warm before.

    The log that Naruto’s been punching shatters clean apart, reduced to little more than splinters under the devastating force of his chakra enhanced blow.

    Shocked and more than a bit startled, Shikamaru wheezes loudly, the sound carrying across the clearing and causing Naruto to abruptly turn and look in his direction.

    And in that single moment Shikamaru is lost.
