Summary
roche lobe: the location in space between binary stars where gravitational pull is equal and opposite between them. push and pull, neutralised; instead, a reflection of the other. a moment of perfect balance.
CC-2224 is a good soldier. Good soldiers follow orders. This is the way things go. Except there's a prisoner with his name in her mouth, and a droid, and a target whose face he cannot remember, and everything's sort of going to shit. It's fine. Everything's fine. He's probably going die very soon, and he does not particularly want to die, but dying is the purpose of his whole life; inexorable and necessary as a sun going supernova. This is, after all, what he was made to do. He just has to remember that.

Summary
"You--" he broke off, wheezing faintly, and that hope began to dawn in Merlin's heart once again. "You know exactly what this means to me. I mean, even for you, Emrys, this is low." He settled back onto his haunches, a sharp, cruel light that Merlin recognised entering his gaze, the prelude to some terrible gotcha. "When did you decide that you were okay with chipping your humanity away, piece by piece? When did you stop being kind?"
"Oh, I don't know," Merlin drawled, swallowing down the little burrs of guilt that threatened to catch in his throat and stick painfully. This was not the gotcha that Mordred thought it was going to be. Well, actually it was, but Merlin had an even bigger gotcha, which cancelled Mordred's out. "I think it was around the time you killed my best friend."

Summary
“I know you,” says Obi-Wan desperately, like he’s trying to force some greater meaning into it, some huge understanding, like he’s teetering on the edge of a precipice and lunging for a guiderope just out of reach. Obi-Wan reaches out as his nose begins to bleed. Obi-Wan’s hand finds his temple. It stings. It stings. He does not know why. Obi-Wan cups his face, and, just for a moment, a surge of recognition blooms, bright and beautiful and alien. “I know you,” he says, softly, gently. “Cody. Cody.”
It is then that Cody passes out.

Summary
He has been rotting since he came to Coruscant, since he set the fire that ravaged half a continent, since his general and nine hundred thousand verd’e in his legion died, since his boots touched the sand of Geonosis, since he first left Kamino. It is not new. Fox has always been rotting; the only difference now is that people know.
He breathes in. He breathes out.
Let me help, Vos had said. I want to help. Please.

Summary
Fox wakes up face-down in a pile of flimsi with his hair in his mouth. This in itself is not particularly unusual, because he’s been sleeping at his desk for the last—five months? Six months? He doesn’t care enough to recall. Whatever. Point is, it’s been a long fucking time since he’s bothered to drag himself into his bunk. His steel desk chair is comfortable enough to while away the four hours he has between finishing paperwork and starting his first shift.
(This is a lie so fucking big it beggars belief. Fox’s steel desk chair is the stuff of children’s nightmares and one day, if the war ever ends—if he lives that long—he’s going to take a great amount of pleasure in attaching several detonators to it and throwing it in the Supreme Chancellor's ornamental lake.)
//
Fox hasn't been doing well. His batch notices (eventually).

Summary
tcw fics set in vaguely the same universe at vaguely the same time in which nothing catastrophically terrible happens. i mean except for sinner sinner (come to dinner) and also kind of despite all (despite everything) because fox and cody are . both having a pretty rough time of it tbh. but like no order 66 fascism empire for 20 years catastrophically bad. happy endings all round for all protagonists!!

Summary
There’s a dull thump as Jack’s socked feet land on the floor. “Maybe they’re right,” he contemplates, and the hairs on the back of Simon’s neck stand up. “Maybe you are a monster.”
“Maybe they’re right. Maybe you do deserve this.”

Summary
Simon’s head is pounding. “Jack?” he mumbles. He hopes it’s Jack. He hopes this is real, and not the dream.
The bandages over Jack’s eyes are so loose they’re practically falling off as he raises his head from where it was buried in Simon’s pecs. He’s silent for a moment, then blurts, “The fuck did you do that for, asshole?”
“The fuck did I do what for?” Simon’s sick of being confused. He tries to lift his arm to push Jack off, but Jack is still pinning it down. “Get off!”

Summary
He focuses on her voice over the pain and rapidly dwindling oxygen. It sounds like she’s walking as she speaks—he can hear her footsteps. She says he’s earned his freedom. More than that, he’s a hero. She tells him it’s a good day: for humanity, for him. He wants to believe her.
The footsteps stop. A moment of silence, and then—“Why isn’t he out yet?”
OR
Simon gets the data. True her word, Ava pulls him out. It’s not necessarily over after that.

Summary
Red-hot anger flashes through Simon’s body. He’s taunting, Simon knows he is, but he can’t help rising to the bait. “Since when do you give a shit if I eat?”
There’s a pause, and it drags.
“It’s important,” says Jack, finally.
“No shit, but you don’t care if I live or die,” Simon snaps. “You’re hiding something from me.”
“You’re paranoid.” Jack’s voice is low and gruff and certain—authoritative in a way that tugs Simon towards believing him.
Simon doesn’t believe him.
