    Summary

    "Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”

    “No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.

    Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

    Summary

    “Whatever you think you know about the sith, you should divest yourself of now,” Maul says to the craft’s domed windshield. “What they crave is power and getting it from the ribs of a mouse or the heart of a man makes no difference in that addiction.”

    Wolffe cocks a hip. He’s not sure what it is about Maul’s presence that makes him feel so bold to cop an attitude like this, but it’s a little heady and very relaxing.

    “We’ll be sure to shove you out in front then,” he says. “Don’t zabraks have two hearts?”

    (Jedi Maul AU - Maul joins the war effort to hunt down the Sith who destroyed his family. Plo, out of the kindness of his heart, introduces him to Commander Wolffe who becomes his unhappy conspirator in the quest to bring down Darth Sidious--but first they have to find him.)

    “You don’t seem very surprised to see me,” she says.

    Gaius fusses with the kettle, putting the water on to boil. “There are many methods – most rather unsavory – by which a sorcerer of your abilities might unnaturally extend her life. It was only a question of which method you would choose.” He turns his head and gives her a hard, piercing look. “You stole that child’s life.”

    “Not exactly,” Bess says.
