Summary
Anakin looked at him shrewdly. “You are expecting me to be angry because you are angry.”
“I am not!” Luke burst out.
“I have traveled all the stars and found them no different from the gutter, and I have shaken hands with rage incarnate. I know that which I see. What angers you, my son, can be crushed, swiftly, and judiciously.”
Luke sputtered. “I don’t want to crush anything! I want absolutely nothing crushed. Negative a thing should be crushed. Maybe I’m a little miffed that my best friend tried to rob my dad, I guess. I mean, that’d be a little crazy, considering—y’know, considering. But I guess I am.”

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is genuinely scary; it's a really building kind of horror, and even though you can see the end coming (doubly so if you're familiar with the case of Tarrare) it still hits. All Might is hideously afflicted by something, some odd and uncontrollable quirk that has evaded detection for years, but he's still All Might, and the end reflects it.

Bookmarker's Notes
It's a very humane story; one of the rare ones that focuses almost totally on an original character, but this is absolutely to the benefit of the canon characters. This is a good view of the Skywalkers from the outside, from a citizen of the ruined galaxy Vader has harrowed for decades. It's sympathetic and humane and the author's interpretation of Vader's redemption is slightly different than my own, but it's a very solid depiction.

Summary
AU, sequel to Invictus. Six years later, the war is over. But the fight hasn't ended - dark plots and old grudges simmer below the surface, and the sweet peace of the new world might be nothing more than a pleasant perfume masking the rot of the old. And as much as the inhabitants of the Kamiya school would rather nurse their wounds, they may have no choice but to take up arms once more...
