    Summary

    Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.

    No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.

    (In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

    Summary

    Formerly named ‘Guardian Angel Out Of Time’
    ----

    Desmond just watched at first.

    It had taken days to realise where he was, or rather, when he was. Desmond was half convinced he was in a coma or a long-lasting Bleeding episode at first. But it was not the Bleeding Effect, nor did Desmond seem to be in another coma.

    He was not in the Animus, but in real world Renaissance Florence.

    By the time Desmond finally seemed to snap out of his daze, he stumbled upon the Piazza della Signoria where a large crowd was gathered.

    He recognised this scene, though the last time he saw it, he had arrived on the opposite side of the piazza. The last time he had been watching through the eyes of Ezio.

    Watching the crowd move, Desmond found himself stopping a nearby woman, “Scusi, signora, but would you happen to know today's date?”

    “December 29th.”

    Desmond’s eyes were wide in disbelief. “And the year?”

    “1476.”

    December 29th, 1476.

    The day the Auditore family was executed.
    —-

    Or Desmond proves to be increasingly impulsive and Isu Tech seems to hold a grudge against him.

    Summary

    Desmond had only been planning on visiting Rome.
    He only wanted a small glimpse of the city– of the man who had changed Desmond’s view on life and made him believe it was worth living. Then he would leave and try to deal with the concept of being in the past by himself. But Desmond had never been that lucky. Things never went that easy for him.
    Of course he would lose his journal somewhere in Rome, and of course that journal would end up in the hands of Ezio fucking Auditore.

    Because that was simply Desmond’s luck.

     

    Or, Desmond discovers his ability to draw due to the Bleeding Effect and keeps a journal. A journal which, through some unlikely coincidences, ends up in Ezio’s possession. Things unravel from there.

    Summary

    It was a widely known fact within the Temple, that the Temple Guards stationed at the Coruscant Temple were experiencing a ‘shortage’ at the moment. Seeing as Knights were sent out to complete missions and went on protective details, they were also the Corp that was responsible for the Temple Guards.
    -

    “I may have an issue.”

    “What is it?”

    The boy was alone. No one else was around despite it being the middle of the night. Just the boy who made a bee-line for Obi-Wan. He was way too young to be out at this time let alone out here all alone. It was the boy’s training armour that tipped Obi-wan off that this was more than just a lost child.

    “I have a youngling in front of me. There is no one else around and I am pretty sure he’s Mandalorian.”

    Quinlan paused, then asked, “...Come again?”

    Obi-Wan peered down at the child tugging at his arm. “Aran, ner echoy'la.”

    Kriff. “Correction, I have a Mandalorian boy in front of me telling me he’s lost.”
    -

    Or it’s Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi’s turn to be a Temporary Temple Guard and of course one of his past missions comes back to haunt him.

    Summary

    It's several months after season 2, and politics are shifting rapidly in the New Republic.

    “One of the delegation’s sticking points in the treaty has been a desire to share risk between the New Republic and Mandalore. They don’t want to sign without an assurance. Apparently it’s traditional to do this... somewhat literally. I don’t get the sense that it’s universally desired, but,” she shrugs a little, “we’re all floundering here. Rebuilding a republic out of a dictatorship isn’t easy.”
    “I’m not getting the problem here, Leia. So they want it all in writing?”
    She lays it out for him, and Luke can’t say he didn’t ask for it. “They want someone from the New Republic to become the new Mand’alor’s consort. Essentially, they want a hostage.”

    Luke wants the New Republic to back and fund his plans for the new Jedi Order, Bo-Katan wants Mandalore to rise to its previous glory, Leia wants a system of governance that is functional, and Din wants a nap.

    (Or, the arranged marriage fic I had no intention of writing.)
