Summary
roche lobe: the location in space between binary stars where gravitational pull is equal and opposite between them. push and pull, neutralised; instead, a reflection of the other. a moment of perfect balance.
CC-2224 is a good soldier. Good soldiers follow orders. This is the way things go. Except there's a prisoner with his name in her mouth, and a droid, and a target whose face he cannot remember, and everything's sort of going to shit. It's fine. Everything's fine. He's probably going die very soon, and he does not particularly want to die, but dying is the purpose of his whole life; inexorable and necessary as a sun going supernova. This is, after all, what he was made to do. He just has to remember that.

Summary
"You--" he broke off, wheezing faintly, and that hope began to dawn in Merlin's heart once again. "You know exactly what this means to me. I mean, even for you, Emrys, this is low." He settled back onto his haunches, a sharp, cruel light that Merlin recognised entering his gaze, the prelude to some terrible gotcha. "When did you decide that you were okay with chipping your humanity away, piece by piece? When did you stop being kind?"
"Oh, I don't know," Merlin drawled, swallowing down the little burrs of guilt that threatened to catch in his throat and stick painfully. This was not the gotcha that Mordred thought it was going to be. Well, actually it was, but Merlin had an even bigger gotcha, which cancelled Mordred's out. "I think it was around the time you killed my best friend."

Summary
“I know you,” says Obi-Wan desperately, like he’s trying to force some greater meaning into it, some huge understanding, like he’s teetering on the edge of a precipice and lunging for a guiderope just out of reach. Obi-Wan reaches out as his nose begins to bleed. Obi-Wan’s hand finds his temple. It stings. It stings. He does not know why. Obi-Wan cups his face, and, just for a moment, a surge of recognition blooms, bright and beautiful and alien. “I know you,” he says, softly, gently. “Cody. Cody.”
It is then that Cody passes out.

Summary
He has been rotting since he came to Coruscant, since he set the fire that ravaged half a continent, since his general and nine hundred thousand verd’e in his legion died, since his boots touched the sand of Geonosis, since he first left Kamino. It is not new. Fox has always been rotting; the only difference now is that people know.
He breathes in. He breathes out.
Let me help, Vos had said. I want to help. Please.

Summary
Fox wakes up face-down in a pile of flimsi with his hair in his mouth. This in itself is not particularly unusual, because he’s been sleeping at his desk for the last—five months? Six months? He doesn’t care enough to recall. Whatever. Point is, it’s been a long fucking time since he’s bothered to drag himself into his bunk. His steel desk chair is comfortable enough to while away the four hours he has between finishing paperwork and starting his first shift.
(This is a lie so fucking big it beggars belief. Fox’s steel desk chair is the stuff of children’s nightmares and one day, if the war ever ends—if he lives that long—he’s going to take a great amount of pleasure in attaching several detonators to it and throwing it in the Supreme Chancellor's ornamental lake.)
//
Fox hasn't been doing well. His batch notices (eventually).

Summary
"For the longest time nobody really knew what happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi. One day, shortly before his fifteenth birthday, there was an anomaly in the Force. Not a grand one, no. It was more of a deep, mournful sigh, heard only by few."
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a survivor. And the Force loves him, even if he doesn't know why.
[or: Obi-Wan is fifteen again, things are different, people are confused, but maybe there's something good at the end of the path]

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on Bandomeer as a Temple washout.
When Ben leaves Bandomeer, it's after an unexpected rescue from an unruly group of pirates. The Jedi have made it clear they don't want him, and his time as a slave in the mines has taught him the galaxy isn't safe. He learns from Hondo how to make a living as a pirate. When the Clone Wars breaks out, it's the perfect opportunity to make big profits so long as one keeps their head down and stays neutral.
But once Ben meets Commander Cody, neutrality isn't an option.

Summary
Cody's communicator has been broken for weeks and he's been too stubborn to fix it; in other, related news, Order 66 isn't set off, Order 6 is, and the clones justify their overprotectiveness with military regulations in the aftermath.

Summary
Obi-Wan scarcely a few years into his desert exile is (quite unexpectedly) thrown back in time to the height of the Clone Wars. This is, in fact, SO unexpected that he reasonably (if incorrectly) assumes he is experiencing a spice-induced hallucination. After enjoying spending time with his lost loved ones, he decides he really needs to wake up before he dies of dehydration. When intense meditation fails, he tries to break the illusion through more...EXTREME measures (check the tags). Panic from all parties ensues.

Summary
Vokara speaks before he can. “I didn’t come here for your permission. I don’t need it. I am a Master Healer, and it is my right to take an apprentice.”
“And you want Obi-Wan Kenobi?” Mace Windu asks.
“Yes,” Vokara answers.
Or, Obi-Wan is wanted, becomes a healer, and this changes everything.
