Summary
When the Jedi Order refuses to admit 9-year-old Anakin into their ranks, Obi-Wan decides he cannot break his final promise to Qui-Gon and leaves the Order with Anakin. He turns to the only person he trusts to help him protect his new dangerously-powerful foundling: the Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore.
(An Obitine fix-it AU comprised of a series of inter-connected one-shots)
Anthology containing:
Always, Forever, Running Back to You
“Are you stuck? When are you coming back?” Siri asks.
“I um. I’m not,” Obi-Wan says. “I quit the Order.”
“Quit as in—“
“As in told Master Yoda I won’t accept the rank of knight and I won’t take my vows and that I’m going somewhere else,” Obi-Wan says, all in a rush. Siri looks undeterred.
“Where in the Seven Corellian Hells do you plan on going?” she asks, hands on her hips.
He hesitates, just a moment. But if this is the plan, then it won’t hurt for Siri and Quinlan to know. They’ll find out soon enough anyway, and he’d rather them hear it from him.
“Mandalore,” Obi-Wan says, not without cringing. He’s met with a few brief seconds of stunned silence.
“Yeah, we’re never getting him back,” Quinlan says, somewhere out of view.

He turns to the only person he trusts to help him protect his new dangerously-powerful foundling: the Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore.He just might be in for a bit more than he bargained for when he gets there.
What a Year Today Has Been
“Thank you for agreeing to see me, Your Grace,” Mace says, with the customary bow. “I am Jedi Master Mace Windu here on behalf of the Jedi Council. We wish to speak to Obi-Wan Kenobi and know that he has sought refuge here.”
The duchess looks down on him, unimpressed. Her eyes are a sharp, icy blue, her hair so pale it nearly blends with her skin. She’s tall but thin in the way of people who have been half-starved half their lives, though that doesn’t make her any less intimidating. Or it wouldn’t, if Mace was the type of person to feel intimidated by anyone.
“I’m afraid my husband is quite indisposed,” she says, coolly.
The pounding in Mace’s temple increases with a vengeance.
***
Or: The Jedi send Mace Windu after their wayward knight and his ward. Meanwhile, said wayward knight makes a trip to Tatooine in an attempt to tie up loose ends.choices, choices
Shmi wasn’t terribly surprised when the Jedi came calling, nor when they proclaimed that Anakin was one of their own. It was why she didn’t protest much when they promised to whisk him away to their fancy temple on the Core.
She wasn’t terribly bitter that they’d left her behind. Master Jinn had been kind enough, and he’d tried more than anyone else ever had. Another low bar, Shmi knew, but Anakin was what was important. He was special. He had never been hers to begin with. Letting him go was never a choice— never hers, anyhow.
Maybe that was why, when the young man proclaiming to be an ex-Jedi had shown up at her door not a month later, she had let him in. Maybe it was why, when she had finished listening to his story, to his request, she had refused.
For the first time in her life, Shmi had a real choice. Maybe she had made the wrong one. In her own defense, she didn’t exactly have a lot of practice with it.

Or: Why Shmi Skywalker doesn't take Obi-Wan's offer to be freed.

Summary
“Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.
“It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.
“Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”
Or,
Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.
Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.
Or,
A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

Summary
“Draco,” Pansy spoke softly, “You had to have realized this was a possibility. I mean, he’s been coming here for years.”
“Doesn’t mean he’d want to actually work here,” Draco grumbled. He rubbed his eyes until he saw spots, trying to purge the sight of Potter from the backs of his eyelids. “Christ, Pans. How am I supposed to deal with this?”
“With your head held high,” Pansy scolded. “Like a Malfoy.”
Damn it all. She was right. He was a Malfoy, and he would not be intimidated by his early teenage nightmare come back to haunt him.
No. Potter was the one who should be afraid. Draco was a Slytherin after all, and he was going to make sure his campers raked every single Gryffindor across the coals.
Yes. That would show him.
A new fire sparked to life in his gut. It was about time Draco settled the score.

.Or, Draco returns to his childhood summer camp as a counselor. Unfortunately, so does Harry Potter.

Summary
Draco Malfoy has spent the last three years outrunning his past. An abusive ex. His mistakes. His regrets. With his son in his arms he makes his way to Hogwarts, the last remaining safe haven there is for them. Only to find out that Harry Potter appears to similarly be escaping something.
Or
Draco was at the end of himself by the time he reached the stone griffin that guarded the headmistresses office. Too tired to call for someone, anyone. Too tired to take another step. Which is how he was found, some hours later, propped against the wall with Scorpius curled up in arms, both now covered by the yellow quilt. A terrarium sat beside them.
It was a familiar voice that awoke Draco, startling him out of his shallow sleep. His eyes flicked upwards, catching on the halo of light that surrounded the tall figure's wild head of hair like an illuminated manuscript of some mangy saint.
“Malfoy?”
“...Potter?”

Summary
"You don’t get a second chance on promises of unity and peace. Not when they’ve been broken like this.” She looked down, eyes coming to rest on the hilt at his hip. A long-buried hope fluttered in her chest. “That weapon, it’s united Mandalore before. You could–” Stay. It rang out through the Force. She wanted to beg, wanted to plead. For now, for then. Please, Obi, Ben, just stay.
Instead, she said: “Tarre Vizsla was a Jedi before he was Mand'alor. Death Watch will follow that blade regardless of who wields it. All those who cling to the old way will.”
“Magic swords are no basis for a system of government. You said so yourself on Draboon, do you remember?”
With Obi-Wan and Satine both in his grip Maul decides on a different form of revenge and truths that have been hidden for 17 years suddenly surface. Exiled to Coruscant, Satine tries to rebuild a life for her and Korkie, but her skill as a peacebuilder has not gone unnoticed by the Chancellor. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan grapples with yet another failure, and the mystery Dooku set for the Jedi at the start of the war: who is Sidious and how great is their power?

Summary
Tim was born different.
Not special—like what some parents would claim; just different. He could see things that others couldn't and that set him apart, even if no one else was aware of it. That was okay, he was still Robin, then Red Robin when that's who he became.
It was okay, he was okay; until something entered Gotham and shoved his differences into the limelight.

Summary
One duel. One spoken spell. One magical bond.
In his sixth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy’s task seemed clear and simple: spy on Potter at Voldemort’s request. Learn his weaknesses, his secrets, and turn them against him. His tool is a spell meant to make his task easier...or does it? The clash between enemies doesn't go the way Draco planned. Instead of infiltrating Harry’s mind and getting closer to him than ever before, the magic ensnares him as well. The bond is formed, and it is terrifyingly strong. While their hatred for each other hasn't changed over the years, it becomes increasingly difficult to convince themselves that magic is the only thing keeping them close.
