    Summary

    Booker's plan to spend a lot of time very, very drunk is derailed by a stray dog.

    Next thing you know, Booker's running a home for old or otherwise unadoptable dogs. With all the emotional healing and cartharsis you'd hope for.

    He woke in the morning to her curled on his bed behind his knee, the empty bottles that had been there knocked to the floor. It was warm and comforting and Booker groaned into his pillow. He had a fucking dog now.

    Summary

    St. Andrews, Scotland, 1946 — Luke Skywalker, a young man with a bit too much history behind his eyes for comfort, finds renewed purpose as a sheepherder directly following his service as a pilot in the second World War. In the hills of his pasture lives a quiet and private man who begs beauty up from clay in an effort to quell the guilt that grips his heart.

    Over the course of one springtime, something precious fights to bloom through the many fissures left inside them.

    Summary

    He’d once measured his progress in life by the good he brought his covert, the new armor that dawned his body, the bounties he brought in.

    Now, he counts how often he’s landed his ship on the soft ground near the school. How many bowls of porridge Grogu’s slurped from while the padawans chattered in the dining hall. How many times Luke has passed his window in the evenings on the way to the training room.

    Summary

    Luke gets the message from the child in the early evening.

    It’s spring on Yavin, and the wind smells like the glowing purple blossoms that cluster in the corners of old rooms and spring up through the pavement. The air is heavy with twilight, the orange-violet of the sky creeping its way down, filtering through the new-leafed boughs and down to where he’s sitting under a tree.

    or Luke takes Grogu, but the sundering on the lightcruiser isn't an ending; it's a beginning.
