    Summary

    Cal squeezed the metal hilt of the murder weapon. He was reaching a light-headed, almost giddy terror, and he had the bizarre urge to laugh. “Are you going to kill me?”

    -

    Padawan Cal Kestis picks up General Skywalker's lightsaber and accidentally sees something he really, really wishes he hadn't.

    Summary

    “Is there any chance that you might be willing or able or convince-able to retrieve the journals?” Lando asks.

    Kestis considers a butterfly as it flutters around him.

    “I’m a felon on Araa,” he says. “If I go there now, I can’t get back out.”

    “A felon,” Leia deadpans.

    “Killed a man, yes. That’s murder, a felony,” Kestis says.

    Leia holds her face in her hands.

    “I’m gonna be a felon on Araa,” she grumbles.

     

    (Someone steals Obi-Wan’s journals. Leia and Luke go all the way to small-town Stewjon to get them back just as a new bout of Jedi-mania takes hold in popular culture. They get help from a string of new and old allies, but at what cost?)

    Summary

    There were two kids up on the roof. They couldn’t have been older than ten, but frankly, they looked like babies. The boy had dark hair and a red jacket, while the girl was dressed in all purple with blond hair poking out from under her hood.
    Jason was pushing himself over the ledge before he could really think about it. What were two kids doing on a rooftop, in the middle of the night, in Gotham?

     

    the story of two kids conning their way across gotham, and (mostly) inadvertently into the batman family.

    This is worth bookmarking, just for the art. The story is amazing too.

    Summary

    Olivia Draper had been a good idea at first. She could pass for older than Tim could pull off while masculine and women really could get into places easier if they had a pretty face. With makeup and some stylish-yet-inexpensive clothes, Olivia could pull off most undercover ops. She was Tim’s Matches Malone.

    Then Hood had shown up on the scene.
    -----------------------------------
    When Jason met Olivia, he hadn't intended to pull a Bruce and take the scrappy teen informant under his wing. She just kept showing up where he was doing business. He had no other choice than to keep an eye on her. And kit her out with armor so she wouldn't accidentally get shot. And make sure she was being treated fairly by her mysterious boss.

    And, okay, maybe become her big brother.
    -----------------------------------
    AKA I write an enemies-to-caretakers story where neither party knows the other's identity until they're already invested.

    Absolutely delightful mistaken identity shenanigans.

    Jason is twenty, decidedly less into murder, trying to avoid developing agoraphobia, and putting together some pieces into a life.

    Tim is sixteen, riding the edge of burnout, and in a show of his truly baffling survival instincts, decides Jason is friend shaped.

    “what if the Robins were fucked up because they were child soldiers?” but with love and healing and a hopeful ending.
