Summary
They stood up and came to stand at the panel, watching me again. I really don’t understand humans and their need to see stuff to believe it. I had been there for the past eighteen hours. They didn’t need to make sure I was still there.

She had known of and accepted this possibility when she had breathed through the Ordeal, when she had kept silent. Kel had been helpless then, and she is helpless now.

Summary
ART sends a packet of data large enough to make me skip a step as the stabilizers engage and the shuddering smooths out. It contains a list of all ships that have broken through the hyperspace lattice–well, all ships thought to have broken through the lattice, as most of the entries simply read "Missing, presumed destroyed". None of the names are recognizable, either; a deep space disappearance is so bleak nobody even wants to make a hard-to-believe documentary show about it. At the end of the dataset, there is a short description of our destination, or at least what ART could pick up as we arrive.
Athoek System.

Summary
The rest of the world had faded away. There was just this: Ronan’s arms strong and sure holding him, Ronan’s smell of gasoline and sweat, Ronan’s body heat warming Adam up like a fire, Ronan’s voice whispering his name like a prayer. It was Ronan, just Ronan, and Adam never wanted to move away.

(Or, the one where Adam cries into Ronan's arms)

Summary
Padme lives. She runs.
--
Leia is growing in fits and spurts, eating greedily and crying loudly. She stays in a sling on Padme’s chest when they move, Luke held snug in a sling around Obi Wan’s. Luke gets a whole head of thick brown hair while Leia’s is still patchy and bald, but he never matches his sister’s powerful lungs.
When Padme had been sitting in her high senatorial apartment on Corsucant, holding Anakin’s sweaty hand, she had never imagined she’d be murmuring desperately soothing noises to her fussy daughter while she shot around a corner at stormtroopers, while R2D2 meddles with a ship’s blast doors behind her.
Luke starts teething on a hot jungle planet where they hunker down for three weeks, sleeping in an abandoned old temple and catching the local wildlife for dinner. Leia takes her first steps in the belly of a Corellian freighter they’ve stowed away on. She wobbles between Padme’s outstretched hands and Obi Wan’s knees and boxes of smuggled luxuries. When she falls down, Obi Wan surges forward, heart in his throat, but Leia laughs.
