Summary
The smallest things can impact on the will of the Force. It’s up to the people living within this galaxy to sense those changes, and to adapt accordingly. Whether that be the simple act of stretching instead of standing there looking like a fool while your master battles the first Sith to show up in centuries, or of turning your gaze upon a young boy who misses his mother, and refusing to let history repeat itself, or even of looking up at the man you must now call ‘Master’ and learning what it means, what it truly means this time.
If Obi Wan had managed to save Qui-Gon during the fateful battle between him and Darth Maul at the end of the Phantom Menace, the unfolding of the events that shaped the galaxy would be changed. In some ways, the differences will bring peace, and harmony to the Force in a way that Qui-Gon’s death had previously inhibited. But in others, they will bring new challenges to the table.

Summary
There is a theory that humans evolved the way they did for a reason. As they fell to Earth, people once revered the stars as angels and gods, allowed them to live amongst them, or ignored them. Humanity changed, growing self-involved, sceptical and disengaged with the skies above. The stars didn’t change.
Some of Les Amis (& Co.) were stars; Bahorel supped with Charles II of England, Montparnasse was sentenced to hang by the neck until dead, Jean Prouvaire held favour with Oscar Wilde, Courfeyrac stormed Normandy, Marius was Canadian, Jean Valjean sold apples, and Grantaire crash landed in the middle of the English Channel. Their stories intersected on occasion, bonds made and broken at the drop of a hat, and forming new alliances with humans and those who could see them for what they were.
But sometimes there happens an event so rare and unprecedented that the course of social and historical norms is altered forever. Encountering old ‘acquaintances’, stumbling through the wrong door, forming a social justice group, all of it can change a person’s path. Convergence of lives, however? That can change everything, and not just for one.

Summary
Their world isn't so different from our own.
People know superheroes exist in the same way that they know the moon landing was real. No one knows why they exist, just that sometimes if they look up at the right time, they’ll see a bird that’s somehow too big, or someone will suddenly catch them right before they’re about to be hit by a flaming boomerang. But people are being found dead in the streets, having had various investigative medical works done on them, and no one knows why, let alone how they died. All they have in common is their superpowers.
Les Amis de l'ABC is, as we all know, a student-run activism group. It just so happens that a number of them have superpowers. And as a wise man once said, with great power comes great responsibility.

Summary
"Kaz took a deep breath and tried to prepare himself for what was to come. He’d done this before, in similarly hopeless situations, but it was always hard. Logically he knew that this was just another tool, another trick, but it always felt wrong." Or the one where Kaz is a Grisha Healer.
