    Summary

    A week after an attack that nearly killed him and his son, Jaster Mereel finds Mostross dead on a battlefield. His killer is a Jedi, grievously wounded, who Jaster takes into his care. By Mandalorian tradition, Jon Antilles owes him a life-debt, and Jaster is cunning enough not to let such a thing slip away.

    It's meant to be an entirely political arrangement. It doesn't stay that way for long.

    Summary

    When his son betrays signs of being kara-touched, Jango Fett sets out into the galaxy in a search of people who could help.
    Before, it wouldn’t be a challenge. The Jetiise were everywhere, roaming the galaxy and fighting the Separatists.
    Now though, they are the only people the Empire hunts more viciously than the Mandalorians.
    Arriving on Coruscant to work a job that is supposed to fund his mission, Jango hears a story of so-called Angel of the Underworld, a semi-legendary, magical being who helps people in the Coruscant’s lower levels. He decides to investigate.
    He also meets Ben, a red-headed thief/barman/bouncer with more secrets than your average ISB agent. And, as more and more of them come to light, Jango becomes convinced that there might be more to Ben than meets the eye.

    ***

    Or a JangoObi! Imperial Era AU you didn’t know you needed! Jango is his grumpy self, but instead of hating the Jedi, he hates the Empire (they did blow up his planet), and Obi-Wan, Order 66 survivor, is making ends meet in the bowels of Coruscant, protecting a bunch of adorable Jedi younglings that he managed to smuggle out of the Temple. Feels ensue.

    Summary

    As the Council sits down on Naboo to consider the newly-knighted Obi-Wan Kenobi's request to take young Anakin Skywalker as his padawan, they're informed of what transpired on Tatooine – and that Anakin used to be a slave. Mace Windu goes to interview the young child to confirm this, and gets rather more than he signed up for.

    Summary

    “General?” Rex’s voice echoes in his ears but it's muffled, like Rex is miles deep under water. “Do you know that woman?”

    “I think she’s…” Anakin is nine-years-old again, turning away from the hut he grew up in with nothing but a bag over his shoulders and sand in his boots. He’s 19-years-old and Owen Lars tells him his mom hasn’t been on Tatooine in almost five years. Anakin swallows thickly, “I think she’s my mom.”

    The woman, Anakin’s mom, raises a shaky hand to press against her lips.

    She used to kiss his temple, Anakin remembers, and the sand engrained in both his skin and the cracks in her lips would scratch against each other.

    Anakin wants her to kiss his temple, wants to feel the grit of sand scratching against his skin.

    She moves first, or maybe he does. Or maybe the two of them spur into motion at the same time, like engines on a podracer.

    Summary

    Too much loss and too much suffering drove a desperate Hermione Granger to make a bid for a different outcome. Albus Dumbledore had once told her that it was dangerous to meddle with time, but Hermione was willing to sacrifice everything--up to and including herself--to change fate and create a better world for those she loved.

    Perhaps she ought to have asked Dumbledore to clarify the dangers of meddling with time.
