    Summary

    And there was Viktor himself. He sat at the window, back to them, still as a statue. His hair was still long, to his shoulders, and he wore a red prison uniform that hung loosely on his small frame. The sun caught the light streaks in his hair and two butterflies danced outside the window.

     

    “Viktor,” Jayce breathed out, relief settling in him at last.

     

    Viktor turned. Jayce saw his own desperation reflected on Viktor’s face. They were moving towards each other, magnets pulled together with no other choice.

     

    He was warm and slight in Jayce’s arms. His hair smelt clean and faintly of citrus. He could feel Viktor’s heartbeat against his own. He shut his eyes and pulled him closer, willing them to merge. Viktor buried his face in his shoulder. He was trembling.

     

    Or the Arcane spits Viktor and Jayce back out after ten years have passed. No one knows what to do with them, themselves included. Between the tensions in the Undercity, remains of Viktor's cult, and too much politics, they try to find a way to live again.

    Summary

    “Who goes?”

     

     

     

     

     

    He asks, a fraction of a second before the Stranger rears his head and pins a pair of bright blues on him. The cigarette falls from Hob’s mouth.

     

    There’s a deep shadow coating the side of his face, following the sharp turn of his jaw. It gleams red in the light, and wet, dripping down his neck in thin stripes. Hob starts walking towards him without any need to consciously will his feet.

     

    “It’s you,” he says, dumbfounded, “ - but it’s too early. It’s not been thirty years.”

     

     

    Burgess’ ritual works perhaps a bit too well. Dream’s memory is lost in the process, his instruments stolen by a familiar cast of conspirators, and his kingdom subject to a coup. Hob Gadling has been weathering in London since their last meeting in 1889, and expects anything other than a sudden visit from a bloody and disheveled Stranger. Nevertheless, good pal that he is, brings the thing home and tries to make sense of a story which is much bigger than him.

    Summary

    All in all, Boba Fett only tries to kill him four times during their first few weeks as a family. It is, Plo Koon thinks, a marker of progress.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    An AU following Clone Wars episode 2.22 ("Lethal Trackdown"). After falling in with some of his late father's bounty hunter friends, and orchestrating an attack aimed at killing Jedi Master Mace Windu, Boba Fett was caught by Master Plo Koon and brought back to Coruscant to face justice for his crimes. At least, that was the plan. But Plo Koon never met a stray he didn't want to help, and he manages to persuade a reluctant Jedi Council that jail is the last thing a lost child like Boba needs.

    And if that means Plo has to raise a traumatised eleven-year-old bounty hunter all by himself to be an upstanding member of society, then that's exactly what he'll do. Look out, universe. Plo Koon has cocoa and fluffy blankets, and he's not afraid to use them.
