Summary
"He was a Mandalorian, and he loved us," Shmi tells herself in the dark of the night when she feels lonely and terrified and hopeless.
***
Sometimes, not often, but sometimes, Anakin dreams that Buir comes for them and takes them away from this gods awful life.
He never comes.
Instead, when Anakin is nearly ten, a Jedi comes. Master Qui-Gon frees him and takes him away from Amu, and a vicious bitterness settles next to his heart, and Anakin isn't sure if it's towards his buir or the Jedi.
***
Jango misses Shmi, and their ad, like one would miss their heart, viciously and unendingly. Boba helps, makes it ache a little less. But at night, when Boba is asleep and the constant rain pounds against his window, Jango feels like he is drowning.
(Come on a journey to explore family with me, Jango Fett, and Shmi and Anakin Skywalker.)

Summary
Mos Espa still buzzed with the news. Jango was less interested learning that a human child had won the Boonta Eve Classic than he was in the rumour that the persons who'd taken the child away afterwards were jetiise. In a ship that hinted the Trade Federation blockade over Naboo was breakable.
The child's mother was a local, a slave mechanic. He'd take a look at her after the trip to Gardulla's, see what she knew, and then leave this sandy hell-hole of a planet.

Fear Leads to Anger by Maeve_of_Winter for c_art
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
11 May 2022
Tags
Summary
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Yoda’s foreboding words rang out through the Council chamber, and Dooku could see how Anakin trembled.
Never before had Dooku seen Skywalker as a boy, only a brash young man. This unassuming, malnourished waif was not who he was expecting.
But unexpected or not, the Force had granted him a second chance, and Dooku was loath to waste it.
“Master Yoda, Councilors, forgive the interruption, but I am compelled to intercede,” Dooku said, his head held high.
_____
The Force gives Dooku a second chance, and Dooku uses it to look out for his lineage.

Summary
She hadn’t learned to relax around the man, around Palpatine’s durasteel fist of a dragon, the one-man army who’d plucked her out of the Senate and put her on the throne, but she had stopped being so terribly aware of his every move. He had become a menacing piece of furniture, at some point in the many hours he inexplicably chose to spend standing and watching a wall in her office while she worked.
The hissing presence of him had retreated into the background, like the sounds of a working ship in flight.

Summary
He doesn’t ask permission, and he doesn’t even ask forgiveness. One night, in the middle of a fight with some standard thugs, a little Redbird descends from the sky and winds up opposite Batman.
It takes less than a second to piece together who the new vigilante is. He has Bruce's dark hair, shockingly in place and perfect, and he is the same size.
“That,” Damian says in his ever-prim, always-level voice, “was a good demonstration of my skills, no?”
---
The Batkids are adopted in the opposite order, and they cause just as many problems.

Summary
It took a few moments, but soon enough the door opened, revealing a young man wearing heavily plaster-spattered clothes and a battered pair of glasses. He blinked at them, eyebrows rising high enough to be hidden by his truly unruly mess of hair. “Um- hello?”
“Good morning! I’m Molly Weasley, from the house up the hill - this is my son, Percy.” She offered a bright smile, and held out the basket of preserves. “I’m sorry we didn’t pop round to say hello sooner, but I only just noticed you’d moved in yesterday!”
“Oh. No, that- that’s fine, we haven’t been here very long,” the young man said, awkwardly accepting the basket and just... staring at it in his hand. After a pause, he cleared his throat, looking back up to meet her expectant gaze. “I’m- Jorey. Jorey Hatter. Would you like to come in?”
A small pair of eyes peered around Jorey’s knees, and Molly let her smile soften. “We’d love to. Is there anything I could help with?”

Summary
Leia Organa was raised in a galaxy where the Sith had already won. Taken as a child, broken, and reforged as Darth Vader’s apprentice, she learned the art of survival in a world without Jedi, without hope. She grew up wielding darkness like a blade, taught to believe compassion was weakness and mercy a death sentence.
But when fate tears her from that future and drags her across time into the heart of the Clone Wars, Leia finds herself in a galaxy not yet lost, a galaxy where the Jedi still live, still fight, still believe they can win. To them, she is a mystery: a Sith who surrenders herself at the Temple’s doors, claiming to hold secrets of their enemy.
And looming over it all is the shadow of Vader, not yet the Master she knew, but a young Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker. He is everything her Master once was: brilliant, reckless, impossible to ignore. The galaxy sees a hero. She sees inevitability.

The One Where the Justice League Almost Didn’t Figure it Out by batsandthebirds
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types

Summary
“I can vouch for him,” Cyborg said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve worked together before. I can’t promise he’d want the job though. He works out of Bludhaven, last I checked.”
Dinah perked up from where she was slumped against the table next to Oliver. “That’s next to Gotham. Batman, what do you know?”
All eyes immediately turned to where Batman sat with his arms crossed, looking impassive as always. There was a long moment of silence and the corners of Batman’s mouth turned ever so slightly downward. Finally, in a flat tone of voice that gave no more away than his face ever did, he said, “He’s… well trained. Fast. Could be useful.”
...
Also known as, the League eventually figured out that Nightwing is Batman's son, but it takes a while.
