Summary
This is an old idea that has been living in my head for years.
At first, it began as a simple question: what would have happened if Thrawn had joined the Rebellion instead of the Empire?
Then I took the idea a little further.
The Empire has been defeated. Thrawn has returned from his second exile beyond the edge of the galaxy — and yes, I will be ignoring roughly 95% of what happens in the Ahsoka series, sorry — only to find the New Republic doing… well, what the New Republic does in Ahsoka. That remaining 5% I am keeping.
And Thrawn, being Thrawn, looks at the fragile, idealistic, politically tangled New Republic and reaches the only conclusion that makes sense to him: someone needs to impose military order before the galaxy collapses into something worse.
This fic will explore that very inconvenient premise.
Since I have other projects currently in progress, this story will not have a regular posting schedule. I will update it as the idea grows.

Summary
A companion fic to *The Enemy Under Roof*, following the events unfolding in parallel with—and behind—the main story.
While Thrawn’s surrender reshapes the political and military balance of the New Republic, *Matters Adjacent* turns toward the people caught in the machinery around him: lawyers, clerks, officials, witnesses, and everyone unfortunate enough to discover that history does not simply become easier once it enters the record.
Expect legal strategy, procedural headaches, sealed arguments, inconvenient precedents, and the quiet disasters happening just outside the room where the main plot is taking place.

Inefficiently Yours by bextia for thrantastic

Summary
Lieutenant Thrawn is interested in Ensign Vanto.
Ensign Vanto is not interested in developing inappropriate feelings for his superior officer and therefore has not examined the situation too closely.
Thrawn follows standard Chiss courting procedure: carefully engineered minor inconveniences, flawlessly resolved, in order to establish indispensability and long-term structural alignment.
This would work perfectly... if Eli were Chiss.
Instead, Eli begins responding unpredictably. So Thrawn concludes he must try harder. The Empire remains unaware that one of its most promising officers is engaged in a highly strategic, culturally misunderstood act of flirting.

Summary
After being sent to the Unknown Regions, Eli Vanto returns to Lesser Space with a mission he cannot abandon: find out what happened to Grand Admiral Thrawn.
But the galaxy he left behind is fractured, paranoid, and changing faster than any map can keep up with. The Empire is tightening its grip, the Rebellion is becoming something larger and more dangerous, and every trace of Thrawn’s disappearance leads deeper into old secrets, abandoned battlefields, and stories no one is willing to tell aloud.
With Stent at his side — a Chiss officer far from the rules and certainties of the Ascendancy — Eli follows the fading trail of the Seventh Fleet across a hostile galaxy, balancing deception, loyalty, survival, and the uncomfortable knowledge that some ghosts do not stay buried simply because everyone agrees they are dead.
What begins as a search for one missing man becomes something larger: a journey through the consequences of empire, exile, duty, and the fragile, stubborn bonds formed in the spaces between worlds.

Humans, Toothpaste and Other Crimes Against Morale by bextia for SilverDove9

Summary
The Blood Crow’s emergency supply locker was never meant to be interesting.
It held dental tablets, ration soap, sealed shower gel, the worst cologne in the Imperial Navy, and a number of deeply uninspiring personal-care items intended only for emergencies. Unfortunately, aboard a ship full of overworked humans, even hygiene can become a logistical vulnerability.
When Eli Vanto learns why civilian toothpaste is restricted aboard Imperial vessels, Rask decides the situation is hilarious, Thrawn decides it is operationally relevant, and the crew of the Blood Crow proves, once again, that humans should not be left unsupervised with comfort items, informal trade networks, or anything mint-flavored.
A companion piece to Chiss, Chocolate and Other Human Hazards, featuring naval bureaucracy, questionable toiletries, Rask being Rask, Eli trying to prevent paperwork, and Thrawn discovering that morale may be harder to regulate than expected.

Chiss, Chocolate, and Other Human Hazards by bextia for Its_a_moray

Summary
Today, while chatting on the Everything Chiss Discord server, we somehow ended up discussing which foods Chiss might be able to eat that humans cannot, and vice versa. Which means I have to thank Its_a_moray for putting the truly excellent and terrible thought in my head:
What if chocolate were as toxic to Chiss as it is to dogs?
For context: chocolate contains methylxanthines, mainly theobromine and some caffeine. Humans metabolize these well enough that chocolate is usually just a delicious life choice; dogs do not, which is why chocolate poisoning can cause vomiting, tremors, tachycardia, seizures, and, in severe cases, death. So this fic runs with the idea that Chiss biology handles chocolate just as badly.
Which is unfortunate for Thrawn, because Eli Vanto has just received a birthday care package from home.
With dark chocolate cookies.

Summary
Part five of the series: Eli and Stent are getting ready to travel across the galaxy.
What begins as a straightforward transit through lesser space turns into something far less predictable when Eli Vanto and Stent cross paths with the scattered remains of a fleet that was never meant to be found. Drifting wrecks, fractured signals, and half-erased histories pull them into an investigation neither of them planned for—one that refuses to stay contained within the neat boundaries of a mission from point A to point B. The deeper they look, the more it becomes clear that whatever happened to this fleet did not end when it vanished.

Summary
The Empire runs on order, discipline, and fear.
The Chimaera runs on contraband crock pots.
When an underground cooking network begins spreading through the lower decks, Lieutenant Vanto expects eventual disaster. What he does not expect is the Grand Admiral’s involvement, complete with performance analytics, stimulant recalibration protocols, and a refusal to shut down chili night—even after fermentation nearly causes a missed bridge shift.
Featuring:
• illegal pancakes
• emotionally significant spice smuggling
• porcelain tragedy
• oil-based combustion
• tiramisú-induced overclocking
• and one very controlled Chiss discovering the strategic value of dessertDomestic absurdity in space. No one is prepared.

Summary
The Chimaera is still fully operational.
That is no longer enough to justify its existence.
On its final voyage, old hierarchies resurface, absent voices linger in the spaces between orders, and one last command must be given—correctly.
As Admiral Faro prepares to stand down and an old commander returns to bear witness, what remains is not the failure of a ship—but the question of who, in the end, is meant to give the final order.

Summary
Eli Vanto entered the Ascendancy expecting structure.
He didn’t expect to be moved like a piece on someone else’s board.A sudden transfer pulls him deeper into Chiss politics, where custody is leverage, silence is currency, and every officer has a motive they won’t speak aloud. His work on the Steadfast reveals fractures the Families refuse to acknowledge, and every new assignment feels less like advancement and more like containment.
But buried transmissions, missing ships, and a ghost signal from Lesser Space suggest the Ascendancy is listening for something it won’t name—
and someone thinks Eli might hear it first.As the maps thin, as orders tighten, and as the edges of the galaxy begin to behave in ways they shouldn’t, Eli finds himself walking a line he never agreed to:
between what the Families want him to see…
and what the data is already telling him.Part III is where the silence around him stops being ignorance—and becomes intention.

Summary
On the Chimaera, silence has always meant evaluation. Eli has learned to navigate it—carefully, precisely, always aware that every answer might be measured against a standard he cannot fully see.
But when Thrawn asks for his analysis—without guidance, without correction, and, most unsettling of all, without expectation—Eli is forced to confront a different possibility: that his thoughts are no longer being tested, but trusted. And that the space between them is no longer defined by hierarchy alone, but by something far more dangerous—mutual understanding.

Summary
Saw this idea on twitter and couldn't help it, so the merit for the idea isn't mine.
If the tweet's author allows it, I'll link to the original tweet.Thrawn gets an ysalamiri, gets everything ready for her, and the ysalamiri falls in love with Eli instead.
The talented @pigonart made this pic for me a while ago. I had another fic in mind, but I never got to use it. So... Here it is! the perfect chance to give this pic the love it deserves!
