Summary
Dooku stands in the cockpit of the ship, watching the stars swirl in hyperspace. Remembering.
Qui-Gon had always been loyal to the Jedi, and would not have taken kindly to ‘abandoning’ the order. But if he knew the level of corruption in the Senate, if he knew that a Sith lord was the Supreme Chancellor…
It didn't matter. He was gone.
Kenobi was here, though, in his captivity on the way to Palpatine himself. Dooku wondered what Sidious’ plans for the boy were. Perhaps, if he argued his case fluently, Sidious might allow him to be trained as a Sith.
The real difficulty would lie in convincing Kenobi. But Dooku was confident. After all, who better than him to turn his own grandpadawan to the dark?
...
In which Palpatine decides to speed up his plans for Anakin by killing Obi-Wan early, but underestimates the danger of leaving Obi-Wan and Dooku alone in a room together for too long.
In other words: Dooku redemption arc!

Summary
Obi-Wan dies on Jabiim. Anakin blames himself, doesn't know how to go on and yet - he does. Maybe the Force rewards that kind of thing, or maybe he just gets lucky, but when a mission lands Anakin on a vaguely familiar planet, he gets a second chance to do what he knows he should have done in the first place: save his master.
(And maybe a chance to save the galaxy, too.)

Summary
The photo is of a boy--maybe fourteen or fifteen--with dark hair and dark glasses. He’s slouched in front of an institutional backdrop, and it takes a moment for Hank to connect the living face to the autopsy pictures.
There’s something else familiar about the kid’s face, the shape of the mouth, and Hank is racking his brain, trying to figure out where he knows it from--a former student, maybe?--when Alex speaks up again, voice flat. “It’s my brother.”
Summers Brothers, lost and found.
