Summary
Who had committed the greater crime? Anakin for betraying his family? Or Obi-Wan for failing his student?
Or perhaps it was Ahsoka, who'd been too blinded by grief to see that she wasn't the only one mourning.
Inspired by kj_feybarn's story, "The Greater Crime". Please go read it, it's an amazing story.

Summary
Being escorted into Arkham as a new patient was never something she expected to experience in her life. She put people in this place, she was not supposed to join them for an extended stay that had nothing to do with her masked counterpart making sure a resident was still where they should be.
Red hair spilled around thin shoulders as Poison Ivy leaned forward, folding like a contortionist to peer at her, rose petal red lips smirking a sort of greeting, "Well, well! Didn't know I was joining high society when I came here. Guess I didn't read the fine print about this being a country club."
Celebrity socialite, Brooklyn Wayne, is framed and committed to none other than Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane, a place her masked alter ego has placed all her worst enemies.
The terror of the Gotham's crime rings might be in need of a helping hand or two, and oddly enough they might be coming from the enemy.

Summary
Fíli lived his life by an old dwarven proverb: when a fool drops a treasure, a wise man picks it up (it sounded better in the original khuzdul).
Bella Baggins never quite fit in the Shire. Perhaps she was made for the mountains, instead.

I love romances that also focus on platonic relationships.
