    Summary

    “A beer please,” Obi-Wan said, his voice barely rising above the din. He placed the credits on the bar, his fingers shaking slightly as he did so./

    The bartender looked down at him with a frown, his brows furrowing as he took in Obi-Wan's thin frame. “How old are you, kid?”

    Obi-Wan shifted uneasily, suddenly aware of the attention he was drawing from the patrons around him. “It’s not for me,” he replied quickly, his voice steady despite the tremor in his fingers. “I’m just fetching it for my Master.”

    Master is a bit of a loaded word in the wider galaxy.

    Summary

    We are firmly in AU land here. I would love to give credit to fantastic works Allegiance, Libero Per Fidem, Welcome to the Club, and the glorious talent in Abundance of Faith, for creating an alternate view of Vader, Piett, Luke, et al. Thanks for making such a great sandbox to play in.

     

    After Bespin, Vader is dealing with regret and the the realization that he does not want his son to turn as he did. Thus, Palpatine must be destroyed. Piett is complicit in this plan and helped to get Luke away from Bespin in this head canon. Luke harbors respect and admiration for the diminutive admiral. Veers doesn't know all the details but as the best friend and brother in arms, will go where Piett directs. And Piett will go where Vader leads. But this is Sidious we're dealing with and his plans have plans......

    Summary

    The Force watches and despairs as Its children are slaughtered, their faithful companions turned against them in a defilement of the Life and Will It grants.

    It loves them, even with their mistakes, their misjudgments, their misapprehension. It loves all Its children, and It cannot save them. Not all of them. Not most of them.

    But maybe, maybe It can save a few.

    Its Scion, fierce and bright, herald of balance, led astray and on the brink of soul-loss.

    Its Favored, so dedicated, guide and guardian, led astray nearly to the point of heart-death.

    Together, they may reach safety. And, with a little effort, perhaps their deliverance can in turn save others…

    Just after Mace Windu and General Grievous are killed, Anakin and Obi-Wan are sent thirteen years back in time to an alternate past, to the moment Yan Dooku decides to leave the Jedi Order.

    Confusion abounds on all sides, especially when the events of this past and its inhabitants’ behavior don’t match up with what the pair remember.

    Summary

    Veers hates the navy on principle, but Firmus Piett is just another example of why. A timid little weakling who doesn't show appropriate respect to rank. WHO thought it was a good idea to have him transferred to the Lady? And why must Ozzel punish Veers by making him work with the man? Nothing good will come of it.
