    Summary

    Raised in the pressure cooker of Kamino the clone troopers created to fight and to die built their own culture with loyalty as the central bedrock. When the first troopers leave Kamino the culture shock is immense. An education built upon durasteel facts leaves them ill-prepared for a galaxy that values the ephemeral and commanders who can do impossible things. And then Order 66 happens, and horrifically, unbelievably their leaders are traitors. And then, even worse, unbearably, almost a decade later, they are free and know, to the core of their souls, that they, rather than the Jedi, were traitors all.

    Or, alternatively:

    If you value loyalty above all, how do you cope with being forced to become traitors to yourselves and your leaders?

    If you were conditioned to have a cause, what happens when you destroy that cause?

    If you knew to your soul that only one other group cared about you, how do you react to a galaxy that betrayed them?

    If your brothers can countenance nothing else but that they are still with you, then why not support that faith?

    If the Force is the truth, then why not make it so that everyone follows it?

    Curious where this is going. Betrayal past and present.

    Summary

    To avoid ceding territory to the Court of Frost, the Tidefolk Dragons of the Court of Tides agree with the Frostdweller Dragons of the Arctic North to form a political alliance through a Mating between members of their Courts.

    Enter Neuvillette, a ward of the Court of Tides, thrust suddenly into a whirlwind betrothal he doesn't know what to feel about. Especially when it comes to his Intended Mate, the Frostdweller Wriothesley. Together they must navigate the strict courtship protocols of the Court of Tides that make it difficult for them to grow closer, even when they are already betrothed.

    As their courtship continues, it becomes increasingly apparent that there is more than the Tidefolk's strict courtship protocols working against their union...

    Summary

    “Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”

    When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.

    It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.

    Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

    Characterization and headcanons are fantastic.

    Summary

    The first fic in the series: The fire's out but still it burns is Order 66 from the perspective of its victims.

    The second fic in the series: See the sparks, feel the hope is a direct continuation of the immediate aftermath from mainly non-Jedi perspectives and more or less ends with the point of divergence from canon.
