    Summary

    This is not the story of a hero.

    This is the story of a little girl who found herself a happy family. Who made friends that loved her. Who avoided the destiny that so desperately called.

    This is the story of how she met a boy who took her place. He became an ill-gotten hero, one of falsehood and lies. If she desired, she could have called him out and claimed the role Fate demanded of her.

    Instead, she turned her eyes away. She lived as a simple girl. She did not act the hero. She did not act the protector. She avoided the Call.

    And she succeeded.

    Summary

    With the galaxy already buried in years of war and no end in sight, the Senate is not getting any more relaxed. A growing number of Senators are burning out— exhausted of the delicate dance of politics and the endless power-shuffling that a war brings. Senator Aavi Ioka of Csilla, one of Padmé's closest friends in the Senate, is no exception. She wants to go home, to return to her family, but won't abandon a new Senator to the sharks, either. Years of favors exchanged and friendships built talk Padmé into a heavily frowned-upon trip to Csilla, deep in the unknown regions, to find and bring back Senator Ioka's replacement.

    She can only hope that careful manuevring and piles of security protocols stop news from reaching the greater public: a scandal is not the press coverage she needs right now. Maybe it's time to plan that handmaiden reunion they've all been daydreaming about.

    ABANDONED but not at a total cliffhanger

    Or: the epic tale of Padmé's messy divorce, featuring her qpr polycule handmaiden abomination.

    Summary

    Heart pounding, Fives darted behind a tall stack of haphazardly piled crates. Through them, he saw Commander Tano jump off a speeder bike and examine her surroundings. Suddenly, she ignited her lightsaber and leapt into the air again. Fives tensed.

    The distinct scream of a probe droid sounded, and the Commander grimly stamped its memory circuits out. The jumbled knot in Fives's chest loosened ever so slightly.

    Because Barriss's plan takes a little longer to execute, Ahsoka is still in the Jedi Order when Fives discovers the truth about the inhibitor chips. Fierce and unwavering, her faith in him alters the course of the Clone Wars and the fate of the galaxy.

    Summary

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a Senator survived. A Jedi did not forsake society. Two siblings were never separated. Nor were two Commanders. And a Rogue found comrades.

    The Empire has risen, but the embers of the Republic yet glow in the hearts of the just. The stage is set for rebellion, and both within the Rebel Alliance and outside of it, many fates shall interweave, for the luck of the Disaster Lineage and its associates has ever flowed in a peculiar current. And if that current is stirred, from time to time, by an enterprising Pirate… well, not for nothing has it been said that Fortune rules life.

    Aka, Padmé lives. The fractured lineage begins to reunite. Tarkin suffers a raging case of Hondo-induced identity theft. Vader dials the wrong number and ends up connecting to the commlink of a Rebel agent called Revenant. Add in some youngling hijinks, and all of this is slowly building to a massive headache for one Sheev Palpatine.

    Summary

    THEN:
    In the midst of the Clone Wars, a newly-minted Jedi Knight vanishes, suspected of defecting. But the woman brought back to face the Council is not Knight Tulin, but an officer of an extragalactic organization that calls itself ‘Starfleet’.

    Curiosity, and a determination to rectify the mistake, drive Plo Koon to take the lost Commander Chester under his wing. But between Republic Intelligence’s sinister interest in their extra-galactic visitor, the growing Separatist determination to capture her for themselves, and the good Commander’s own determined escape attempts, keeping Chester alive is hard enough–let alone getting her home.

    NOW:
    In the horrific wake of Order 66, a badly injured Plo Koon stakes his survival on one last desperate hyperspace jump, to a mysterious anomaly that might offer hope for him–and for what little remains of the Jedi Order. For Captain Diane Chester, Plo’s arrival is confirmation of all her fears. Now, she’s got to keep the Empire’s grubby hands off the Alpha Quadrant with only one ship, one Jedi, and that greatest Starfleet tradition–a hell of a lot of showmanship.
