    Summary

    The Mandalorian laughed, the sound wet. Din hoped that the fucker was bleeding somewhere.

    "What," the Mandalorian rasped, hand curled tight around Din's jacket even as Din tried to tear away, "kind of Jedi are you, huh?"

    Din bared his teeth and pressed the knife harder against the Mandalorian's side. "The still living kind," he said. "Now let us go." The kid – he had to get the kid out of here. Away from this. Din didn't even know where the Mandalorian would have found a baby Jedi, but –

    "Or what?" said the Mandalorian. "You'll kill me? I thought you were a bunch of peaceful monks. You'd really dishonor your people by killing an unarmed man?"

    "You killed off all the peaceful ones," Din said. "And what are you talking about, unarmed? You have a cannon," he said, narrowing his eyes, "strapped to your kneecap."

     

    (Or, the man once known as Din Djarin was an Initiate, when the Jedi Order fell. He's not sure what he is now, or why it's his responsibility to help a bad-tempered Mandalorian reunite a Force-sensative baby with the New Jedi Order rumored to exist somewhere in the Outer Rim, but it doesn't look like anyone else is going to do it.)

    Summary

    Pete twists his mouth to the side, rubs his nose, conscious of being observed. “No, I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about a lot of things. Just staying occupied.”

    “The old escape hatch.”

    “Yeah. Yeah, that’s right.”

    “Okay.” Ray studies him a moment longer. “Well? Where’re we escaping to?”

    -

    Pete and Ray jump off a bridge. And survive.

    Summary

    "A family passed through here," the Patriarch stated. His sword appeared in his hand and he sheathed it at his hip. "It should be three dozen Wens. Where are they?"

    Lan Wangji felt his lips flatten, offended by the very notion of answering. Considering what he had just seen the Patriarch do to the Wens around them, Lan Wangji could only assume the worst of his intentions.

    Something flickered across the Yiling Patriarch's face. Then, oddly enough, he smiled. It was grim and understated, like a calm hand resting on a knife.

    "You won't tell me?" he asked. Lan Wangji didn't answer. "You didn't tell those nice Jins."

    Above an apprehensive curiosity as to what had happened to the Jins, Lan Wangji said, "Nor will I you."

    Those eyes flickered again, this time with surprise.

    "Oh dear," the Patriarch laughed softly, as if to himself. "What's your name?"

    _

    In the midst of fighting a losing war, Lan Wangji catches the special attention of the reclusive Yiling Patriarch. It's hard to say who is more indebted to whom.

    Summary

    Soulmates exist in "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World". Kim Dokja never understood why. After 3149 chapters, it's pretty obvious that tls123 has no intention of writing Yoo Joonghyuk meeting his. But it is what it is: soulmates don't exist in reality, but they do in Yoo Joonghyuk's world.

    It changes quite a few things when the scenarios start.

    Summary

    “My name is Yue Qingyuan,” he says, as if Shen Jiu is someone to be introduced to. His gaze on Shen Jiu is - intent, almost frighteningly so. Unblinking. “Are you really a servant here? Or a slave?”

    “Ah - I believe I can find that out for you--” Lord Xu is saying, already waving over his head servant, and Shen Jiu is so irritated that the man just seems to assume that Shen Jiu can’t answer for himself like he’s a dog or some other beast that he speaks up.

    “A slave,” he answers, and Yue Qingyuan nods as if this isn’t surprising.

    Then he turns towards Lord Xu and he says, “I will buy him.”

    -

    A rich and powerful cultivator meets a slave with nothing to his name, and decides to buy him on the spot. Why?
