    Summary

    They haven’t even been deployed for a month when they get new orders, new regulations, and suddenly the chain of command gets turned on its head.

    It wasn’t supposed to work like that. The Jedi were supposed to be the ones doing the planning and the leading, but after the first few battles it became very obvious that none of them knew what they were doing. Half the Senate panicked and wanted to start negotiations with the Separatists. The other half did not, and somehow that led to both sides deciding that the lesser evil was declaring the clones were actually pretty competent at the thing they’ve literally been made for.

    Cody probably got lucky with his Jedi; it doesn’t complain or try to outmaneuver him and it’s actually quite helpful. If it was a brother he’d be fond of it.

    Or,

    The clones were (wrongly) taught that the Jedi are immortal eldritch beings devoid of personhood, the Jedi are enslaved by the Republic within a few weeks of the war starting, and nobody knows how to ask the right questions until it's almost too late.

    Cody's inability to interact with people without making spreadsheets to analyze their behavior saves the galaxy.

    Summary

    As usual, Merlin has utterly failed in keeping a low profile by inadvertently getting himself dragged into a mess of a situation that appears to have something to do with a seemingly unkillable snake man, a toad woman, an order of phoenixes, and a boy named Harry Potter who, he quickly finds, is equally bemused by his current predicament. When he discovers how lost the boy is, he resolves to help him and his friends get rid of this dark lord--as well as their malignant (and worse, ineffectual) new teacher.

    Summary

    When Arthur Weasley comes home one day with a mysterious young boy who seems to have fallen right out of the ether, the lives of Harry, Ron and Hermione—and even Draco Malfoy—are changed forever. Harry, forced to fight for his life in the Triwizard Tournament, gets even more than he bargained for as his new friend's uncertain past begins to haunt them all.

    Summary

    Merlin thought he could just let everyone else handle this Riddle upstart. Apparently he expects too much. Well, it’s gotten this far. He might as well jump in now and minimize the damage of this inevitable train wreck.

    Summary

    Merlin tries to keep out of things, when he can.

    As an ancient, immortal warlock, it's hardly his place to decide how the world should be. That was always Arthur's job; Merlin's is to wait, and watch, and remember.

    Unfortunately, Voldemort's attempt at immortality have thrown off the Balance, and so Emrys is called back to Albion. Once he's there... well, he's always had a problem with sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. And a soft spot for those tossed around at Destiny's whim. And far more magic and time than he has ever known what to do with.

    One thing leads to another, and Merlin finds himself embroiled in yet another war.

    Oh well. At least immortality isn't boring.
