    Summary

    They were born for the Jedi.

    They were born to fight, fall, get up, die.

    Flesh droids. Fodder on the battlefield. They'd gotten good at hiding. They know what natural born beings think of them. All they have is each other. So they cling and cling tight. Enjoy today, for tomorrow might never come.

    Then Cody meets a Jedi. His Jedi.

    Maybe, just maybe, the Jedi were made them too.

    Summary

    All Cody wanted from the Jedi was a competent, fair general; so that he could focus on keeping his men safe, and maybe trying to live up to the name Jango Fett had bestowed on him.

    Nothing could have prepared him for Kenobi save for the experience itself: crashing across the galaxy, from caf-and-stims-fueled battlefield highs down to heady fluorescent ship-side lows.

    But then, he supposes, this war had a habit of exceeding his expectations, in all the best and worst ways. This is that story through Cody's eyes.

    Summary

    After twenty years of peace post fighting in a war and a long career bounty hunting on the planet he now calls home, Rex finds himself trapped in a lonely and unfulfilling rut and doesn't want to admit it.

    However, after being set a challenge to change by his Mand'alor, Rex is faced with his whole world being shaken up in a single call from Social Services, about a relationship he had a decade ago and the consequences he'd never known about until now.

    Now he's out of his rut, out of his comfort zone and most definitely out of his depth, whether he wants to be or not.

    But Rex has never run from a challenge before, and he's not about to start now. It's only when the stakes are high that the reward is worth it. And this might be the best reward he ever got that he never asked for.

    Summary

    Echo had never had any particular talents. He'd never sought to be special, never tried to break the mould. He'd never aspired to be anything more than a clockwork soldier, watching his far more brilliant brothers rise up above him. He'd never expected to wake up one day and find out that he was, in fact, the last of them.

    Funny old galaxy, really.

    Now he was in the Bad Batch and one thing he was rapidly beginning to understand is this: in a galaxy filled with combat engineers, the Bad Batch are artists. Echo had never really known much about art. At least... that's what he'd always thought. New body, new squad - maybe it was time to look at things in a whole new way.

    A story about art, war, coping, hanging on, letting go, restoration, reforging, plotting in a brig, military intelligence isn't, Wrecker's diplomacy doesn't, cooking, the thin line between genius and madness, starting over, struggling with loss, team bonding, art therapy, guerilla knitting therapy, big boom therapy, shaking down shinies for fun and profit, guilt, rage, forgiveness, waging war by fitting in...

    ... and making your peace with standing out.

    Summary

    Spot was in the habit of never owing anyone anything. If he needed something, he made sure to pay for it in full right away. But Racetrack never insisted on collecting a return, so a person's debt to him stretched on forever, giving Race all the power. If there was one thing Spot hated, it was a loss of power. And so he had vowed to never, ever be in the position of owing Racetrack a favor. No matter what.
