    Summary

    The Clone Wars is one of the most violent, chaotic times in living memory. The galaxy has been split down the middle. On the one side are the Separatists, led by Count Dooku and General Grievous, with a droid army numbering in the trillions ready to sweep over planet after planet and take control. On the other side is the Republic - the democracy that has stood untouched for centuries - led by the Jedi, with an army of cloned humans trained from birth for war.

    Throughout the 4 year conflict, two unlikely heroes emerge as central figures. A clone designated CT-7567 who prefers the name Rex and a Togruta Jedi named Ahsoka Tano who happens to be the Padawan of the Chosen One himself, Anakin Skywalker. The war changes and challenges their bond and their beliefs. Both they and their friends grow and change during the conflict.

    Eventually, they will have to face the cold, dark reality of why the Clone Wars really happened and what it was meant to accomplish.

    Summary

    “And I know, it’s not your fault. Trust me, I haven’t forgotten.”

    Shit. Mike was really hoping that would never come up.

    “I know, I know, I know it’s not your fault. But you know what?” Will steps closer, “it doesn’t change the fact that it feels like your fault.” With a shove on Mike’s shoulder, he painfully adds, “it feels like it’s all your fault.”

    When everyone suddenly masters the art of communication, Mike and Will give it a shot. They don't get it right on the first try.


    OR: 5 steps Mike takes towards the truth, and 1 leap Will makes towards destiny.

    Summary

    “You’ve lost weight,” are the first words Reo says to him, a whole year since Seishiro has breathed the same air as him.

    “That’s not very nice.” Seishiro’s mouth is on auto-pilot, brain still processing the sight of Reo right in front of him.

    There’s Mikage Reo, synonymous with all that’s good in this world, at least to Seishiro. He looks different; his hair is longer and he’s much warier.

    (He looks exactly how Seishiro remembers him.)

    Or: Somehow, Seishiro gets Hanahaki, a year since he’s seen the only boy he’s ever loved. He handles it extremely well, which is to say, not at all.
