    Summary

    In the horrifying wake of the Temple sacking, Obi-Wan finds four precious younglings still alive, and flings himself into the Force on a wish and a prayer, hoping to find a place of safety for them all. He finds a better one than he could have dreamed of, an oasis of kindness in a galaxy gone Dark and mad. But this oasis has its own strangeness and secrets. If Obi-wan and the children can adapt, they may have a safe place to rest, heal, and even restart the Order. But adapting means Obi-wan must face some hard truths about himself, Anakin, and the Order as they knew it. The results will change the fate of the galaxy, forever.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Beautiful piece! Thoughtful approaches to SW characters and their issues, as well as a look into what a Watchbeing sent to a sector might do. I adore the logistics, I adore the kids, and the fighting scenes were nicely described without being overly-detailed. Pardon me while I now go read everything this author's ever written (and check out their bookmarks)

    Summary

    Jedi Knight Feemor is on Toprawa, having just finished a mission with the Antarian Rangers before heading back to Coruscant for the first time in years. He has a busted arm from his mission, but only fractures and some strained tendons, nothing crazy, and spends the next day on paperwork and a healing trance. Nothing unusual, in the life of a Watchman.

    The next morning, his arm is worse than when he went to bed. His mission reports are entirely unsubmitted. No drafts exist. The fruit he ate yesterday is still in the bowl. What. The. Fuck.

    It's hard to do time loops well, imo. And this one? THIS ONE DID. I hope there's a sequel one day, but if there isn't, this will live on in my head as my new Feemor headcanon.

    Summary

    Arc 1 (complete): Quinlan finagles a favor out of the Mand'alor, and promptly cashes it in for a clanmate who has gone missing on Bandomeer. The Order dispatches Master Koon to assist, and in the mines Obi-Wan makes friends with Arla Fett.

    Arc 2 (complete): Obi-Wan calls the Mandalorians instead of the Order for aid on Melida / Daan. In the Temple, his exit from the Order causes upheaval in the Council and plotting from his closest friends.

    Arc 3 (complete): Obi-Wan returns to Temple life after the war, his padawan status up in the air and his trauma too obvious to ignore.

    Gorgeous. And a fascinating take on petty-acts-and-snark as a love language ... from just about ALL of the characters.

    I'd be fascinated to see how the reforms actually turned out, maybe one day we'll see.

    Perceptions cloud everyone's view. And can harm in the most horrible ways, teaching the wrong lessons to younglings. I absolutely love how this series showcases this, and finds a way to save the galaxy.
