Summary
“Hang on,” Mace said. “What was that?”
“What was what?” Knight Sei asked.
“That part about being trapped in the caves forever. Why did you say it like that?”
Knight Sei flicked a quick glance at their watching audience, and said, still smiling, “Well, the waterfall will freeze once the sun is no longer hitting the crystal above us. So they need to be quick about finding their kyber, or they’ll be stuck on the other side of the ice.”
“I’m sorry,” Mace said. “Why would you tell them this?”
“Knight Sei’s smile became a little fixed. “It’s standard policy, Master Windu.”
“What is? Scaring kids?”
Or: Mace realizes that raising the first child doesn’t mean you are in any way prepared for the second one.

It was only now, once the unremarkable wooden box was in her possession, that he realized he probably should have wrapped it.
...Not that he knew how to wrap things. He should have at least tied a ribbon around the thing, or something.
Or: 5 times Mace gave Depa a gift, and 1 time Depa gave Mace a gift.

Current time
“Master Windu,” Yoda said firmly, “explain to the Council your latest mission, you should."
Every action you took was reasonable and calculated, Mace told himself.
If he kept telling himself that, maybe he could make it sound convincing enough for the Council.
Or: Mace tries to keep one step ahead of Palpatine.

Summary
Mace was tired, and he hadn’t slept enough to rid himself of the headache he’d fallen asleep with, but he supposed that Sith, even baby ones (especially baby ones?) delighted in being inconvenient like that. Asking for a few more hours before they talked would probably be met with derision.
Or: Mace strikes a deal.

This series is based on suzukiblu’s MWUTT AU headcannons. Hey, suzukiblu! Thanks for sharing something that got me so excited that I wanted to write! Check out suzukiblu’s tag: https://suzukiblu.tumblr.com/tagged/mace%20windu%20unfucks%20the%20timeline.
Credit goes to both my friend (Sapphira11 on ao3) and my siblings, who egged me on and helped with the editing.
I am planning on writing a series of oneshots, so feel free to subscribe to the series! I’m hoping to publish a oneshot every month.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

In Whose Shade They Will Never Sit by LatticeJaysmith

Summary
Sometimes, when Rocky is sleeping, Grace can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Rocky hadn’t been here. It’s not a fun reality to ponder. While part of him gives a weak assurance that he would have figured something out, he knows that isn’t true. Because Rocky is his reason to figure something out.
Then his mind flips the script. What if Grace had never shown up? Rocky would have been out here, alone. A single Eridian on a big ship, with no one to watch him sleep.
And just when he’s about to sooth his mind with the fact that neither of those things came to pass, a new scenario sprouts unbidden from his mind. What if someone else arrives after Rocky and him leave?
What if they get here, and they’re all alone.

Summary
Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, smiling at them in that way of his, like he knew something you didn't and he was proud of you for it. "Friends," he began.
The door thudded open and the Marauders burst in, late and pink-cheeked with cold. The headmaster smiled at them, too, and Sirius gave a cheery little salute back.
Severus sunk lower in his chair, staring witheringly over his butterbeer. "You told Potter about it, too?"
"He might as well put all that energy to good use," said Lily. "And, to be accurate, I told Remus."
"But Potter, really?" said Severus.
"He and Black cooked up a jinx that gives you a boil every time you say a slur to a Muggleborn," said Lily. "It was either invite them to Alice's war club or bake them cookies, and I know where my skills lie."
Severus sniffed. "Don't come crying to me if he tugs your pigtails."
"Come crying to me if he pulls yours, and I'll deck him," said Lily.
(Slight AU in which Severus apologizes, tries harder, and stays friends with Lily)
