Summary
His Majesty's Aerial Corps holds many secrets, but none are more closely guarded than the Plague and the Change. A century ago, amidst the War of the Spanish Succession, disease ravaged the British Isles, bringing about the death of a majority of dragons—a tragedy of the highest order kept hidden from the public eye. Even those that survived were left unable to fight or breed new offspring. After the Plague, all that was left to carry forward to future generations were the surviving eggs yet unhatched and a single healthy formation kept away in isolation. But these were insufficient in number to make a sustainable population, and besides, there was the more urgent problem that England was still at war and still needed her dragons. The alchemist Sir Issac Newton approached the Corps, however, and proposed a solution, one that won them the war and one that is still carried forward to this day: the Change. Dragons need not be hatched, when they can be made.
Captain Will Laurence, of His Majesty's Navy, knows none of this when the hatchling Temeraire chooses him as his companion. But to Loch Laggan they have been sent, and to Loch Laggan they must go, unaware that some people go there not to train, but to become dragons.

Summary
When the crew of the Reliant captures the Amitie and the dragon egg it carries, Captain Will Laurence is set ill-at-ease—not because he is unfamiliar with dragons, but rather the opposite. For, over a decade ago following an injury aboard the Shorewise, he discovered he bore a curse, one that would cause him to awake from his dreams as something other than human, if ever his attentiveness slipped. He was a weredragon.
But then the hatchling Temeraire chooses him as his Captain, and the course of his life is forever altered, to become an aviator of His Majesty's Aerial Corps...at least by day. By night, the question of his nature remains quite up in the air.

Summary
Later that night Sam doesn't pray. He hasn't prayed in a long time. Not from lack of faith, he's still devout as he ever was, Sam being Sam hes still desperate to latch onto whatever is above him and pray to it (It had been his father, his brother and then God who earnt Sams devotion in turn) and he would love to scramble to his knees and give himself over to something bigger, but its hard when holy words burn his tongue.
These days he can barely say father without his throat seizing.
Or,
Dean finds Sam in a confessional, nothing good comes of it.Bookmarked by SleepWalker09

Summary
Cal Kestis has a strange ability. He can't seem to die.
Whenever he dies, the Force itself brings him back hours or minutes before it happened. It has come handy in the fight against the Empire. But Cal himself has mixed feelings about it, considering he never seems to be able to change anything else than his own death.
A mutual obsession with Darth Vader however puts him in a strange position, and the next thing he knows, he is falling back through time to his childhood. Now Cal is mere days away from the very start of the Clone Wars. He's not sure how Vader managed to break the barriers between times, but Cal is going to use this chance to destroy the Empire before it even began.
Meanwhile everyone else is horrified by Anakin Skywalker's newly acquired padawan, who just seems to know the battlefield a bit too well.

Summary
Cal’s gloves are ripped to shreds, from dragging himself through the ship or his fight with Trilla, it doesn’t matter, but he can feel Cere dying in his arms, her shock and pain writing themselves into the fabric of her clothes, the very air around her, and Cal feels torturously doubled, his own death fast approaching. Darth Vader is a cataclysmic event, and Cal, delirious with pain, scrambles to catch the hilt of his saber as he begins to drag it out their corpses – and that’s what he and Cere are, corpses, with only a last few seconds of misfiring neurons left in them, no matter how much BD-1 trills and punches stim after stim into his arm – they are tipping past that point of no return now, and Cal needs to do something right now before it’s too late for – for what?
Too late for what?

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Summary
Cassian fought from fidgeting, and willed his face to maintain its professional cheer, tinged with a bumbling naïve earnestness act he wasn’t all that keen on Luthen getting to see firsthand, now that the security splice was giving him a front-row view.
He stood there, awkward, while final hushed words were exchanged. Whatever had happened, no one appeared to be pleased about the abrupt breaking up of a meeting that had taken weeks to schedule and was expected to drag on yet for hours. Once the last of the delegation had disappeared – to a separate berth area than the private one where Kleya was installing assorted surveillance and tracking devices in the senator’s speeders, thankfully – Senator Malri turned and swore under his breath.
“You’re here late, Willix.”
The observation was not made in a particularly pleased or praising tone; the earnestly naïve Willix was not much of one for subtext. “Yes, sir. Catching up on some correspondence and filing. Always seems to be something to do, doesn’t there?”
“Don’t oversell it,” Luthen griped.
Cassian ignored him.

Summary
“If it hatches before we reach land in two months, Lieutenant Laurence will make the attempt.” Barstowe’s watery blue eyes gleamed. As if Laurence had voiced an objection, he said, “I cannot spare the other lieutenants, nor can I let a midshipman leap so high in position, even if it is to an inferior service. You will harness the beast.”
Laurence found his voice and said, with steadiness that surprised even him, “I am perfectly willing to try. However, I have not been trained in any of the methods used in the Corps.”
“You’d best figure them out, then,” Barstowe said. He smiled, revealing his yellowed teeth. Laurence felt his mouth tighten, and refused to drop his gaze. “After all, failing to harness such a valuable beast could only be called a betrayal to his Majesty, and you’d have to face the consequences.”

Jon doesn't have it in him to destroy Peter Lukas, and Peter is a sore loser. Instead of running back to the Tundra like Jonah expects, Peter bashes Jon over the head and brings him out to sea with him. Apocalypse averted, world saved, and most importantly Jonah Magnus punished for stacking the deck during their wager.
Peter never had a pet before, but he's certain that looking after the Archivist is exactly the same thing. He just needs to keep his new cat fed and entertained. How hard could it be?

Summary
Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa.
The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked.
When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good.
or
How Sakura survives the war, told in bits and pieces.
