    Summary

    It was Primeday and that meant she had occupied much of her time with war briefings—war briefings where Anakin’s name had not shown up, not even once. The long and short of it was that she didn’t know where he was. She didn’t know if he was alive. She suspected he might not be.

    Summary

    Katsuki sits cross-legged, clearly in no hurry to go anywhere. “What’s your name? I’m –”

    “I know who you are,” he cuts him off, then blushes, then hates himself for both those things. Katsuki looks surprised, and Yuri can’t think as to why. He’s a nationally ranked figure skater. He’s Yuri’s favorite figure skater.

    Summary

    a true patriot knows the cost of war. pays for it himself.

     

    Every new batch of shinies gets younger, somehow.

    Not— Well, yes, actually younger. They’re sending them out at eight now, like that’s anything but insane. (Like sending them out at ten wasn’t insane, never mind how convinced the Kaminoans are of the success of their training, never mind how the casualty rates of shinies are disproportionately high because dammit but Rex is right and nothing ever beats out actual experience—)

    But younger somehow else, too. Around the eyes, the set of their jaw, how they still suppress the smallest flinch at sudden noises. Cody looks at them and thinks of Domino squad, of Tano, of every civvie kid scrambling to cover from aerial strikes or running through market stalls laughing or sending the 212th earnest, excited holo messages he’s sure Obi-Wan isn’t actually supposed to show them.

    It's the night before graduation in the Haus. Time to pack up those boxes, to share a last piece of pie... and maybe to examine a few what-might-have-beens.
