    Summary

    “This is my fucking nightmare,” Shane says again, quieter now, like if he lowers his voice the thing itself might shrink into something he can get his hands around. “This is my actual fucking nightmare.”

    “Okay,” Ilya says, voice gentle but firm. “Then maybe, it’s time to wake up?”

    Shane inhales. The breath stutters halfway in, catches, then forces its way through anyway. He lets it out and back in slowly. Then he does it again, and again and two more times.

    When Ilya speaks again his words come slower.

    “The girl,” He says gently. “That was… your sister?”

    Summary

    Palpatine’s voice rang out over the plaza, but Leia could hardly hear it over the ringing in her ears. How? When? Palpatine was dead—she was sure of it. Luke had been sure of it. So, how—

    But then, Leia realized as she looked up at his face on the screen, she had never seen Palpatine like this. The Emperor had forgone that dark cloak that shielded his face from view. Instead his visage was plain and unmarred. He looked…ordinary. He looked like a regular man. Old. Not feeble, persay, but…vulnerable. Yet strong and confident. If Leia didn’t know any better, she’d say he looked almost kind.

    But she did know better.

    And as Palpatine spoke, the lack of Imperial presence, the strangeness of this place, the words Vader had spoken before her brother had vanished—everything came together at once, understanding dawning on Leia in an instant.
    On the screen, Palpatine said, “With the Jedi behind us, we will defeat the Separatist Army once and for all, and bring peace to our Republic!”

    The crowd cheered, the applause ringing in Leia’s ears like a drumbeat.

    Vader had sent them to the past.

    ***

    Or, Luke and Leia are sent to the past to try and fix things.

    Summary

    Fuck.

    That's all Troy could think right now.

    He was fucked.

    He had routine, he had stability, and now it was all gone. All because he decided to open his fucking mouth against Dallas Kent ONE time.

    Troy was willing to put up with a lot of shit when it came to Dallas, and he meant a lot, but this was different. Not when it puts other people at risk. Not when it puts Julia at risk.

    And that's how Troy ended up in Ottawa, with a four year old and a lot of baggage.

    Or

    Troy Barrett has a secret four year old daughter he has been hiding for years, and after his argument with Dallas Kent he is forced to up route both of their lives and move from Toronto. He is making as good of an effort as he can to be better, but the universe seems to be against him on everything he does.
