Summary
When Fox said he wanted a holiday, he meant somewhere nice like Naboo, or Lothal, or hell, even Tatooine would do. He didn't mean a big hole in the ground with a giant fucking lizard.
Oh well. He hoped Thorn could manage without him.

Summary
“If you'll allow me to elaborate,” Obi-Wan leaned forward in his chair. “I meant to say, the discoloration is likely a sign of deoxygenation. He can't breathe -”
“Professor.” The Chancellor said with a genial smile. “I would hardly waste such a considerable sum of money to establish a new exhibition in my personal study only to have it floating at the top of the tank in a month. He may not be entirely comfortable but he is alive and I assure you it is a much better fate than the alternative.”Or, Obi-Wan resolves to rescue a very stubborn merman from captivity and back to the ocean.

Summary
Jim Kirk is a NASA astronaut assigned a very special mission -- to pilot a one-man craft into a part of space no human has ever ventured before. What is supposed to be a quiet month-long mission is quickly disrupted when an unknown force launches his small craft dangerously off course and hurtling towards the surface of a distant planet. Jim survives the crash, but he soon discovers that he is not alone, and his only hope of getting home may be the stoic stranger who pulled him from the wreckage.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins arrived home late one afternoon in the middle of the week and the entire west Farthing is still talking about it.
Poor Mister Baggins. He was doomed to be a nine-days wonder no matter what and is it any wonder after a year-long adventure? Even the Tooks haven’t the influence to hush that up, but Mad Baggins seems to have managed to silence every tongue in the Shire on that subject which would be awe-inspiring ...if not for the way he decided to go about it.
OR: That one where Middle Earth seems to be unclear about where baby Hobbits come from.
