    Summary

    For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.

    Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.

    Summary

    By an old Republic law, all members of the Jedi High Council are senators in the Galactic Senate, and can thus be voted in as chancellor. A Senator from a less prominent planet has had enough of Chancellor Palpatine's incompetence and calls for a Vote of No-Confidence and the installation of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.

    This one action becomes the catalyst that changes the direction of the galaxy.

    or “Obi-Wan’s Life Gets Worse (Though It’s Not As Bad As It Could’ve Been)”.

    Summary

    Cody came to laying on his back on a medical cot of his own feeling like a speedster ran over his head, completely blank on how he ended up there.

    "Hey ori'vod, took you long enough to wake up."

    Cody looked up to see Rex staring down at him. "How long was I out."

    "Long enough to kidnap the entire Jedi Order, entire Temple included, and set it up on Jango Fett's old farmstead, Steal the Grand Army of the Republic and turn it into the Grand Army of the Separatists, and drug your General."

    "Force's balls, what did I drink?"

    Summary

    We’re familiar with the mage collar. It’s a collar, leather or metal, engraved somehow with runes which serve to restrict the wearer’s access to their magic. It’s keyed to a specific individual, who is the one who dictates the usage of the wearer’s magic.

    Instead, let’s consider the compulsion collar. It is similarly a leather or metal collar, but the engraved runes instead make it so that the wearer must obey the commands of the one who bound them to the best of their ability.

    Now, what happens when you take a compulsion collar, and put it on a mage? Let’s find out.

    Summary

    intermission

    /ˌɪntəˈmɪʃən/
    noun
    An interval between two parts of the same story. Often mistaken for an ending.


    The All-Star Game is supposed to be harmless. Bright lights, broadcast smiles, forced camaraderie, famous rivals pretending none of it matters.

    Shane can handle all of that. What he cannot handle is Ilya two corridors away, wearing the wrong jersey, captaining the wrong team, and acting like they are not in love.

    Then a bomb threat empties the arena before puck drop. The players are told to stay in their dressing rooms. The delay becomes a lockdown. The lockdown becomes captivity.

    Below the ice, with the league’s most valuable players held as hostages, Shane and Ilya have to survive the night without reaching for each other, without giving themselves away, and without letting fear turn into something worse.

    OR
    A hostage crisis, three targeted All-Stars, and Shane trying not to lose his mind every time Ilya opens his mouth.
