    Summary

    The best things that ever happened to Lan Qiren were brought to him in the middle of the night by women with perms. First, his nephews, stricken with grief at the death of their parents, then Wei Ying, brought by a harried babysitter when his parents disappeared.

    or

     

    There’s no time or space for grief or anything. He takes the children to buy black suits, he leaves them behind in the apartment, twelve-year-old A-Huan assuring him he’s old enough to be left alone with his brother, to go to their house and oversee it being packed up, the furniture sold, the personal effects of his brother and his wife put in storage.

     

    There’s no room for decisions or education. Only him sitting at his table with two children, eating in silence, only hearing A-Huan whispering to his brother in the middle of the night, only the three of them all tangled up together with grief and confusion and pain.

     

    And the certainty that he isn’t… that he won’t be a good parent.

    Summary

    “I won’t have you going all the way to California by yourself,” Yanli says in her most eldest-sibling tone of voice. “I won’t have it, A-Ying.”

    “I am a grown-up,” Wei Ying points out gently, with all the wisdom of his twenty-four years. “I pay bills and have a job I hate and everything. And I won’t be by myself, I’ll have A-Qing and A-Ning.”

    “And me, obviously,” Jiang Cheng grumbles. Wei Ying whips around to stare at him.

    “Oh,” Yanli says, a blanket of relief rolling across her face. “Oh, of course.”

    “You can’t,” Wei Ying hisses at him, looking more panicked now than he has all night. “Your mother—”

    “Okay, first of all, don’t tell me what I can and can’t do,” Jiang Cheng bites back, prickly with worry for the Wens and worry for his idiot brother. “Secondly, you, going by yourself, is not an option. It’s off the table. It was never on the table. Stupid,” he adds, on principle.


    Wei Ying’s friends are at rock-bottom, and he puts his life on hold to help them put theirs back together. To absolutely no one’s surprise except Wei Ying’s, his family goes with him.

    Summary

    “I am Groot.”

    “♩♫♪♩♩♫♪♬♩!” Rocky sings.

    “I am Groot?”

    “♩♫♩♩♬.”

    “I am Groot!”

    “♫♩♫♪♩♬♫♩!”

    Grace doesn’t understand a single word of what Rocky is saying. Or Groot, for that matter. “What is happening right now?!”

    Two instances of cosmic anomalies bring two different spaceships to the same universe. When both crews become stranded on a hostile planet, searching for a way home, they find they’ll have to work together to survive.

    OR
    Grace is seriously out of his depth here, but he does enjoy studying all the new alien life. Rocket is teaching Rocky, his new engineer buddy, all kinds of fun things. Quill and Mantis are glad to be back with their family (even if they are stuck on a deadly planet that's trying to kill them…). Drax hates the colour pink, Groot hates the acid rain, and Nebula just wants to keep all these idiots alive.

    Summary

    A fluffy, no-drama universe, where WWX and LWJ are happily in love, kind of co-parent A-Yuan, and take care of a whole bunch of bunnies. There's no grand plot to that, they're all just chilling and have little everyday adventures.

    Summary

    “Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”

    “Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”

    “Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”

    It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    Cal never thought that memorizing the entire history of his people would be important. After all, the Eternal Song was just something he recited during repetitive katas, or boring patrols, or to calm himself down after psychometric attacks. It ends up being so, so important for the preservation of Jedi history and culture.

    Summary

    Dooku feels Qui-Gon cutting all his bonds after Xanatos' fall.

    He is painfully aware of the consequences that could have. Has. Especially for mid-mission Shadow Feemor.

    Feemor was in the middle of a high-stakes stakeout, when suddenly, without any warning, Qui-Gon cuts their bond. Rips it apart, more like it. Feemor isn't in a high-stakes stakeout any longer after that.

    In which Dooku blanks for a few days, saves a caught-eavesdropping-on-smugglers Feemor and Feemors brand new, one-sided rescue project in the form of a very unconscious teen Jango Fett, and starts his career as a hobby cook and freestyle gardener.

    Neither of the parties realize their respective affiliations until it's almost too late.

    Summary

    When clones of Jango Fett start to be dropped back into the galaxy long before the vode are meant to be created, a ripple effect of changes is set into motion. It begins with Sev, with Cody, Rex, and several members of Torrent. But that's only the beginning.

    While the knowledge the clones have allows future disasters to be prevented, it also grants them the chance to grow up a second time. To be the children they never were the first time around. To be the Mandalorians they deserved to be all along.

    This is a story about a kinder future in a brighter galaxy, because the clones are a part of it. Yet, it's also a story about family, healing, and cultural revival.
