Summary
What should have been a simple night at an auction house - pick up anything too dangerous to be left lying around, watch a bunch of humans argue over fake occult items and then return to the bookstore with Aziraphale for copious amounts of alcohol - goes terribly wrong when Crowley discovers the auction house owner, Mallory, is hiding something far more dangerous in his vault than he was letting on.
An Ethereal something to be exact.
Which leaves Crowley to wonder - how exactly did he not realise Aziraphale was missing?

Summary
"And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him..."
The Silmaril did not burn Maglor, as one had burned Maedhros. But that did not mean he was free of the burden it set upon him, nor the pain of so many past misdeeds.
A short introspective What-If piece.

Summary
There are two times when absolute stillness is required, his mother had told him as a small dwarfling. The first is when someone upsets a horde of angry Elves and hiding is the best option...The second is when you find yourself nose to nose with a very large dragon and you do not wish to find yourself eaten...
Gimli, son of Glóin, displeased with his first solo adventure to the Iron Hills, sets off on a different far more ambitious task: to bring back a supply of the much-prized obsidian, also known as Dragonglass from the Withered Heath. But the Grey Mountains are forbidden for a reason, and Gimli quickly finds himself trapped in the nest of a young dragon with whom he must forge a tentative alliance if he ever wishes to escape.

Summary
In Minas Tirith, a bored barkeep tends a quiet tavern, and gains an eventful afternoon when he is visited by some unexpected (and unusual) patrons. Unfortunately for him, Legolas has no idea how mortal currency works.
(From here on out, Gimli will pay for their ale, thank you)

Summary
It is far too easy, Crowley reflects, to mistake Aziraphale as a helpless, hand-wringing bookshop keeper. It is far too easy to think him prey. Three evil men make the mistake. The angel clenches his fists and there's a crackle in the air. Crowley can read the signs. And he knows how this is going to end.

Summary
“How dare you!” Aziraphale shouts.
“It’s not personal!” the demon shouts back, peeking around the edge of the bookshelf. Aziraphale flings a blessing at him, but he jerks back before it can land. “I was assigned to you.”
“I’ll smite you back to Hell, you—you—snake!”
“Funny you should say that,” the demon mutters, before lifting his voice again. “Or how about we carry on what we’re doing and not attract the attention from Downstairs, yeah? Or Upstairs, for that matter.”
Or: Aziraphale has been assigned to secure The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. He really shouldn’t have been surprised to learn that Hell had an agent of their own assigned to him.
Luckily for him, Crowley is a dreadful spy.

Summary
the chronological compilation of all the 'do or do not' snippets and ficlets
Summary:
When Obi-Wan dies by Anakin's hand, he expects that to be the end.
It is not.
When he opens his eyes again, all of thirteen but with forty extra years of experience, not even the dust, dread, and death on Melidaan can stand in his way. Obi-Wan had seen the worst that the galaxy had to offer twice over - he'll be damned if he lets everything happen the same way for the second time.
Enter one Jedi Master Yan Dooku, the lynchpin to so many of the galaxy's darkest turns in the future-that-was. Torn between a Master who doesn't seem to want him and a man wearing the face of the Sith who had once tortured him, Obi-Wan makes a choice.
Everything changes.
