Summary
Padme Amidala is left a shattered husk after the violent birth of her children immediately follows the death of her husband. The galaxy is thrust from one conflict to another, seconds of peace marred by an Imperial scar. Despite her loss, she must persist.
Two infants at her side.
Two children, who she will never cease for.
Two teenagers, discovering power the likes of which she cannot understand.
One specter, haunting and hunting them across the galaxy. A hound from the Chaos that the Sith emperor has unleashed upon her, her growing Rebellion, and the memory of a lost love that has left an empty space in her heart.

Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Summary
He wades in it now, eyes still open, fixed on the speckled ceiling, begging himself not to crave bomb blasts and artillery fire in his childhood bedroom.

Summary
The pilot’s blond hair whips to the side as Dabi’s blow swipes over his ducking head, and Dabi doesn’t have time to course-correct before he feels the blunt end of a bo staff jab him in the ribs.
“One to zero,” Takami says, dancing back to reset on feet that barely seem to touch the floor. His expression is fierce and calculating as he seems to ask himself the question every ranger gets drilled into them at the Academy.
Are we drift compatible?

Summary
“How have you been?” his doctor asks him after a moment.
“Fine,” Roy responds, calmy.
He is, really. Mostly he feels numb. And tired. And his scars hurt, sure. On the whole, nothing out of the ordinary.
“Have you been experiencing any pain in the areas with scar tissue?”
Every waking moment. But it’s fine. Really.
“Not much.”
Harris frowns. “I want to help you, you know,” he tells him.
“I know,” he brings himself to say. His doctor sighs heavily.
“How are things at work?” Harris asks, after a minute.
Roy has to look away, suddenly. It doesn’t take long for the numbness to wash over him again though, thankfully.
“Fine too.”
(Or, Roy's still healing wounds, excessive work and an argument with his Lieutenant slowly take their toll on him.)
