    Summary

    She is tired. The world is ash and dust, and she has lost so many pieces of herself; markings and heart, left arm and left eye, trust and faith. It has become such a painful thing, to love him. And yet.

    And yet.

    Summary

    “You may find this hard to believe,” she said with a bemused little smile, “but I’ve never been served tea by a skeleton before.”

    “He’s quite precise, isn’t he?” Emmrich replied, taking a sip. “Ah, brewed to perfection once more, Manfred.”

    Summary

    Lucanis had never been so amused watching someone eat. She paused as she considered every bite, sometimes halving it, like she worried about taking too much though none of her bites could be considered anything but diminutive. She chewed thoroughly, vigorously, always with her fingers pressed to her lips to shield herself. She savored, letting out quiet little sounds of appreciation.

    “Is that thyme?” she asked suddenly.

    “It is.” He was surprised she could detect it. He had used the barest sprinkling, just enough to tame the bitterness of the onions.

    A stirring in the back of his skull, movement from a phantom that had held himself so strangely patient that the absence of him was more jarring than his presence. Cook for her more.

    A spark ignited in his chest, a need.

    --

    Or sometimes a family is a hunger demon suffering from a long bout of humanity, her Dalish daughter, a demon-totting assassin, and the kooky aunts and uncles they've amassed along the way.

    Summary

    After the end of the war with the Empire, Obi-Wan wakes up in his twelve-year old body. Now all he needs to do is convince everyone he's psychic, trick his Master into taking him on before he's sent to Bandomeer, redeem a few bad guys, and try not to have a nervous breakdown. Pretty easy. It's not like the Sith are lurking on the horizon, waiting to devour the Jedi Order.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan took a deep breath and did his best to press the anxiety he was feeling away. His hands were steady as he adjusted the settings of the communcation set-up of the small vessel he was currently piloting. He purposefully set the comm to audio only on his side. He hadn't been a padawan for long, but if there was one thing he'd learned during his missions with Master Jinn, it was that it was rare for anyone, especially politicians, to take a padawan seriously.

    He assumed the same held true for the leader of an enemy empire.
