    Summary

    Gimli had died. He was very sure of that. It had taken a good long while to be done with it, after all. Most dwarves don't live to see 300, and he was well past that. Then again, most dwarves don't grow old in the Undying Lands of the Elven Haven. But Gimli was named Elf-Friend by the Lady Galadriel, and she'd vouched for his passage. Not that his husband would've cared if she hadn't. Legolas had all but smuggled him in with unrepentant defiance.

    Gimli had died. Then he'd woken up again. Not in the halls of Mahal as he expected, but rather in the halls of Ered Luin. Supposedly this was meant to be a gift of knowledge blessed upon the House of Durin. Personally Gimli thought it more likely a coincidence of timing that he happened to come back during all those silly ancient rituals. But you don't take a gifted diamond to a scale. It all seemed to work out well enough, anyway. This time around, Gimli will be going on the quest to reclaim Erebor. If all goes well, he'll even be able to save the line of Durin and reunite with his husband.

    Needless to say... things do not go well.

    This had been done already and done well. I'm not trying to write a masterpiece. Just want to have some fun with it.

    Summary

    Cal Kestis dies when Bode Akuna's blaster doesn't jam. The Force decided that it was a good opportunity to get things back into balance, by punting the Jedi Knight back to the past.

    It didn't tell him to become the Mand'alor, though. That one was all on Cal, no matter how often he complains about it.

    Summary

    "You signed with the LA Kings?" she demanded. "What were you thinking? You know the plan. We'd go to the draft, get first pick, and go to Montreal."

    "What are you even talking about?" Shane shot back. "If I got first pick, I'd go to Boston, not Montreal. And I don't even want to go to Montreal."

    "Why?" Mom asked immediately. "They're one of the best teams in the league. One of the Original Six."

    Something inside him snapped, and before he even realized it, he switched to Japanese.

    "I don't know," he said, his voice tight. "Maybe because they're full of racists and homophobes. Do you even understand what I'm saying? Or have you become so white you forgot your own language?"

    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”
