Summary
This is a sister story (pun intended) to The Owl House that follows Vee's adventures in the human realm. It explores what it's like for Vee to come to a new world with entirely new rules and have to learn it all from scratch. As well as dealing with her past, what it made her and who she is now. It is meant to run concurrently to the show proper and I have done my best to keep it within the canon.
This is the second time I've tried writing fanfiction (the first was awful and will never again see the light of day) and by far the longest thing I've ever written. I've never needed chapters before. As such I welcome critique and corrections. If you see something, say something. The comments so far have been a great help to improving my writing and I've enjoyed reading every one.
Lastly, I'm now on day 556 of Duolingo Spanish, and if my Google translate skills aren't up to snuff let me know. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy.

"And you know what, too!" Adrian honks. "If Grace was still here, he would tell you that you are being a horrible, lazy, ridiculous being!"
"Take that back!" Rocky roars.
Well. This is awkward, Grace thinks right next to them. He fidgets with his claws and wishes he still had thumbs.

It's one thing to wake up as an Eridian.
It's another being unable to tell anyone about it.

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
Cal is really not sure how he got here. It’s not like he’s the chosen one. But, dank farrik, he’s going to do his best—even if that means a few panic attacks and breakdowns along the way. Honestly though, with his track record, he’s not so sure he's the best person to do this. The Empire was one thing, but this…this is not something he knows how to handle. How can a time-travelling 23—now 10-year-old—stop a—no—the galactic war?

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.
