    Summary

    Starkiller Base has been destroyed, the Supreme Leader is dead, and the First Order scrambles to recover. Kylo Ren struggles to carve his own path forward with the new responsibilities as Supreme Leader and bereft of the one person he’d thought could be his equal.

    General Hux, meanwhile, is fighting to retain some semblance of control. His co-commander has become his superior, and an old face he’d rather never see again is supervising him once more. Amongst all this, he really has no time for his steadily worsening nightmares. But his reconditioning is no longer working, and memories he’s never had start to surface

    Summary

    Hux is almost gone when he says, unwillingly, pulled from him by something he doesn’t understand, “I killed my father.”

     

    He expects Hux to keep moving, to continue on as if he had never said something so stupid, so pathetic. He is not looking for absolution, and if he were, Hux would be both incapable and unwilling to grant it.

     

    After what seems like an eternity, Hux nods, once, like he’s putting his thoughts back in order. His mouth twists into a cramped, ugly line, like he’s not quite sure whether to glare or smile, and he says, “Who hasn’t?”

    Summary

    First Order has won, and the Resistance is no more.

    All uprisings are being violently quelled, but as the sparks of revolution flare up and disturbing reports of odd activity in the Unknown Regions keep pouring, Emperor Kylo Ren becomes more restless as he feels control slowly slip away from his grasp. Upon anticipating his downfall, he strives to prevent the inevitable.

    Meanwhile, Chancellor Armitage Hux, stripped away from the familiar environment of the First Order navy, is drowning - in envy, hatred and desperation. Arrogance and years of jockeying for power under Snoke's reign have cost him any reasonable future and rendered his career unsalvageable. Now, still feared but no longer respected and haunted by a prophecy he was not supposed to receive, he is stuck on Coruscant under Kylo Ren's watchful eye, scheming and contemplating a last-ditch effort to either win or go out on his terms.

    And just like that, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the cycle of violence dragged on, for the promise of revenge is always sweet.

    Summary

    “Fuck you, I know we aren’t friends. I know that now, and I probably always knew. I mean, you never even liked me.”

    “I like you, River,” he tells the other man.

    “Just not enough.”

    “Just not more. Not more than the chance she offered me. But that’s all down the drain now, so–” James hopes he can leave it at that, though River isn’t budging.

    Part 1: He almost dies. Again. Because three time’s the charm. But one thing becomes abundantly clear– James “Spider” Webb knows something he isn’t supposed to. Normally, the prospect of someone wanting to kill Spider would have River cheering them on, but this time it’s different. The issue uncovers a conspiracy MI5 would rather sweep under the rug, because some things never change. Except when they do.

    Part 2: After a tumultuous run in with life, fate, and River Cartwright, James Webb finds himself permanently stationed at Slough House. Things are going alright, until two elderly citizens turn up dead, connected by a mysterious thread. On their way to the truth, both men uncover old secrets and grievances. Not just about the dead.
