Summary
Wheels backs out of the doc he’s spent the last hour reading. "For our fifth," the file title reads simply. It had been delivered automatically to his datapad the moment he’d been assigned the last Guard CMO’s frequency—Page, Wheels reminds himself. His name was Page, and Mouse came before him, and Galen, and Riley. At first, Wheels had thought this doc was just a series of notes they thought would prove helpful, but the notes were increasingly interspersed with ominous theories and dire warnings.
So. What the fuck? What the hell is this?
What exactly is he walking into here?
How Wheels becomes the Coruscant Guard’s fifth and final CMO.

Summary
Stone presses a hand over the wound and breathes through the pain. Wheels had him recently, then, but this isn’t the medbay. This is the command barracks, a place he should have recognized immediately but didn’t, because there’s something starkly different about the familiar space. It takes Stone nearly two minutes of slow breathing and confused blinking before he realizes what’s making the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
The sunlight, streaming brightly through the tiny window set high in the wall. He has never been in this room at such an hour, has never seen the way the sun hits the command barracks at midday.
Why is he asleep in the command barracks at midday?
Thire takes a risk to protect Stone during the war.

Summary
Fives turns back to eye him suspiciously, nearly stumbling over his own feet. Kix opens his mouth, closes it again. There’s a little voice inside of him, faint and distant like a particularly staticky transmission, and it’s trying to tell him something. It’s similar to the same feeling that tugs at him when he’s treating a nasty wound, the one that whisper-shouts at him to put pressure here or mix the antidote like that— a muffled but bone-deep instinct that comes from somewhere other than just his training.
It’s as close to screaming as he’s ever heard now, telling him quite clearly that if he lets Fives out of his sight tonight, he will never see him again.
Kix refuses to let Fives out of his sight after their meeting at 79s. Meanwhile, Fox grows increasingly desperate in his search, Cody wants nothing more than to help all his brothers, and Fives can’t figure out why he feels so odd now that his chip is gone.*this was the first fic written in the series and can be read as a standalone! not necessary to read the others if you don't want to.*

Summary
“Wow. You’re still really bad at this.”
Rex drops the ornament he’s holding and flops backwards on his meditation pad with a groan. His head is pounding; his nerves are utterly shot. He can’t muster the strength to do anything other than stare blankly up at the ceiling, Quinlan’s voice filtering slowly through the buzzing in his ears. With any luck, he’ll ramble on for a while, and Rex can sneak in a nap.
Rex, and learning to manage his new-found psychometry. Mini-sequel to let the river in.
