    Summary

    Started as a couple one-shots about the Seasiblings and Percy learning to use his growing powers. Turned into a much longer series about our fave demigod duo ascending.
    Ratings will vary, partly depending on where they fall in canon, but mostly for language.

    Can be read as stand-alones if marked, but will make more sense together.

    Summary

    Tup is dead. The Kaminoans are lying about the so-called inhibitor chips. And Fives is the only one who knows it. Allowed to present his case directly to the Supreme Chancellor, Fives has a chance to save his brothers, but something is amiss. Palpatine is not what he seems, and he’s not at all surprised to learn about the mysterious control chips.

    Many years later, Kylo Ren falls to the dark side. He vows to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and eliminate the Jedi forever. Believing his uncle dead, he tracks the last living Jedi, Ezra Bridger, to the world between worlds. They draw sabers in a duel between light and dark, but the world begins to crumble around them. Unable to return home, Ezra leaps into the last remaining open portal, to a moment when a clone trooper was granted an audience with the Supreme Chancellor…

    ...and brings with him memories of the future that will change the past...

    Summary

    Percy is four years old the first time his dreams lead him to his many-great-grandmother’s chambers- a woman long dead yet somehow still seated in front of him, fingers grasping at her hair tightly as she wails about a wooden horse on the beach while her servants look on in pity. He feels the weight of something ancient and heavy settle on his shoulders in that moment.

    He's in his 3rd grade classroom while his teacher screams at him for making up lies about gods and monsters and scaring the other children. He's still in 3rd grade when his mother's own visions become too much for her to bear.

    He's at Yancy when Grover Underwood finally finds him and says "I believe you" for the first time. And as Percy begins to feel lighter, that ancient weight that has followed him his whole life slowly dissipating, he realizes that being believed can be just as horrifying as being thought mad.

    Summary

    This series explores two intertwined narratives: the adventures of time-traveling Obi-Wan and the reactions from the core, particularly the Jedi. It presents a Jedi-positive perspective but challenges the traditional notion of Jedi training. The series questions the importance of time in training versus the impact of experiences on a Jedi's potency. Drawing on examples from Legends, canon, and games, I posit that the skills of a Jedi could be taught to adults/teenagers in a relatively short time. It’s the mastery of self that would take the most time, and ultimately why the late-modern Republic’s Jedi training started with children.
