Summary
Sage gets a brother-sister bonding day interrupted by universal shenanigans. Now, she's dealing with an alien Cyber Space, a man with her Father's deadname, and no connection with the Eggnet or her creator for the first time in her activation.
Agent Stone's no good very bad day gets worse when fate decides he should be stuck in some world filled with more superpowered furry aliens, a bizarre history, and the vast potential empire the Doctor wanted being wasted before his eyes. To top it all off, there’s a kickball sized robot who claims he can make better coffee that would probably be noticed if mysteriously vanished.
-
TLDR: Sage and Agent Stone swap universes. Chaos ensues, relationships are put to the test, and Metal Sonic is a normal little guy not looming in the corner with any menacing or future plot relevance no sir I promise -

Summary
Some souls that wink out in the forest do not go gracefully into that good night.
The Beast claws, scrapes, and lawyers its way back to life and prematurely celebrates this as a victory. It is not. But it's not the end of the world, either, if it can be flexible and smart about the long con.The Woodsman and his daughter are trying to find their lives again after years separated. There's love, there's nostalgia, there's miscommunications, there's missing pieces; there's everything that could be expected of their situation. It would just be a lot more comfortable if they didn't feel like they were being watched and judged by a shadow peanut gallery the whole time. (It would be even better if they didn't have to know there was, in fact, a peanut gallery in the shadows that they both have every right to wish was dead.)

Summary
Walters should have died that day of the prison break, and it wouldn't even have been at Shadow’s hands like he spent too many months fearing. Shadow proved that he wanted to attack Walters if he saw him; the Wachowski man could attest to that. Gerald Robotnik just got to him first.
But since they were both still kicking, Shadow could always fix that problem if he still wanted to.(Or: Fifty years after they last stared each other down, Walters and Shadow have an awkward confrontation where nothing is good, but nothing is quite awful either- and maybe one of them can walk away with a better future to look forward to.)

These are all based off of the universe of It’s Burned In My Mind. That fic functions as a stand-alone and does not need these bonus stories to be read. These bonus stories, however, very much run under the assumption the base fic was read.

Summary
“This isn’t a love letter to canon. It’s hatemail."
General Grievous survives his duel with Obi-Wan on Utapau, but the Republic "wins" the war. In the remnants of the Separatist movement, one IG-100 MagnaGuard must take command of a broken fleet, wrestle with free will vs. programming, and discover what it truly means to feel.
He was never meant to be a leader. But the Force had other ideas.
If androids dream of electric sheep, what do they see in their nightmares?
———
A multi-POV story spanning:
General Grievous
A sentience-awakening MagnaGuard
Clones post–Order 66 clinging to their Jedi
Separatist holdouts
And B1 battle droids
Set in the days and weeks after the Clone Wars, this is a very slow burn focused on trauma recovery, legacy, and found family. Expect grief, droid philosophy, and occasional explosions.

Summary
Anakin Falls on the battlefield, on a small dusty planet in the Mid Rim that’s largely unimportant in the grand scale of the war. His men are dying in scores around him, screaming, spilling their guts onto the pockmarked ground, and something that has been pulling tighter and tighter over the course of the war, over the course of his whole life—between one decapitated droid and the next, something snaps in his chest. He doesn't know it, but he's more than a year early.
Or: Anakin navigates the path from straight up not noticing, to denial, to buying a pair of ugly sunglasses to hide his unfortunate Darksider eye condition, to a number of Sith lords dying in uniquely creative ways. If he reaches acceptance, it just might save the galaxy.
