Summary
It was weird to think about.
Despite being from a planet like Lysatra that thrives on its peoples connections to one other and their family, Eli never really wanted one. He didn’t understand how people were so easily interested in making a family or having children.
But in the end, he wouldn’t need another person. He adopted Un’hee, and they had each other, that was enough.
Right?

Summary
Grand Admiral Thrawn had many reasons for sending Eli Vanto to the Chiss Ascendancy. All of them made good tactical sense. Well, most of them. Some of them. One of them. Maybe.
Or: a Thranto fic costarring Thrass, who knows his little brother better than anyone, and Admiral Ar'alani being so incredibly done with these eccentrics from House Mitth.

Summary
“I thought you were going to sleep.”
Ezra, pinned by that glowing gaze, shrugs. “I’m not really all that tired anymore.”
The excuse goes over about as well as he expected. “Your inquisitive nature suggests it is instead the desire to eavesdrop that keeps you from returning to your quarters.”
“Can you blame me?” He gestures at the two of them. Since it’s pointless to deny it, he might as well confront honesty with honesty. “You’re not usually like…” he can’t exactly describe how Thrawn is acting. It’s not out of character, it’s just… more.
“Am I not allowed the comfort of an old friend?” Thrawn asks. His tone betrays his impatience, edged as it is with a rare hint of irritation.

Summary
Since his promotion to Lieutenant Commander, Eli's mood seems to have taken a downturn. Thrawn has noticed this. He contemplates the cause, then sets off to put it right. Along the way, they chat books, decorate a room, and do a lot of talking about Lysatra.
(aka, Eli is sad, homesick, and touch-starved; Thrawn fixes one of these things).
