Summary
BD whistled on Cal's shoulder, pulling his attention abruptly. At the same time, something twisted in his chest, a sensation that something wasn’t quite right.
“Merrin--can you take the supplies back to the ship? I want to check something out quickly,” he said. Merrin cast a strange look at him, eyes narrowed.
“I do not think we should separate,” she said.
“Yeah, but we need the supplies. You can get back faster than I could. We won’t be long, I just have a feeling…”
___
It's meant to be just a routine supply run on an out of the way planet. Unfortunately, routine supply runs never go according to plan. When the Haxion Brood arrives, Cal is thrown into a series of increasingly unpleasant events. At least he might get out of this with a new ally or two; that is, if he makes it home alive. -

Summary

But in dark times, you take what you can get. So Trilla embarks on her mission with a strange combination of friends and enemies, with one goal in mind: defeat the Sith who helped turn her into an Inquisitor. What happens along the way might just change her life
Or, what Trilla, Vos, and Ventress get up to after the events of the first chapter of Family Bonding and Chaos (With A Side Of Feels)

Summary
Inspired almost entirely by that escape pod scene in Survivor – there’s absolutely no way Cal escaped injury crashing on Bracca, right? He’s small enough that he probably didn’t fit the safety restraints properly, and that’s even if he remembered to try and strap in after the trauma of his friends trying to kill him and his master dying in front of him.
So.
In this universe, Cal wakes up on Bracca with a broken wrist, a head injury, and a big blank where his memory should be. The only thing he remembers? “Trust only in the Force.”

Summary
Five years after the Purge, fugitive padawan Cal Kestis has been keeping his head down as a scrapper on Bracca, eking out a lonely existence undercover. By a trick of the fates, (or the meddling of the Force) he becomes acquainted with Jagannath, a mysterious Zabrak on the run from the Empire, who may or may not be Darth Maul under another name.
When a workplace accident blows his cover, Cal escapes Bracca with the help of this reluctant ally, discovering the ex-Sith’s true identity in the process. Rescued by a pair of freedom fighters, Cal is quickly roped into an elaborate plan to restore the Jedi Order, dragging an unwilling Maul along for the ride. What follows is a quest of epic proportions, taking the motley, squabbling crew clear across the galaxy as they work to acquire a Jedi holocron containing crucial information, running up against Inquisitors, crime syndicates, reanimated corpses, ornery wildlife, and some very questionable meatloaf along the way.
As the Force sits back with a bowl of popcorn to watch the ensuing madness, it is painfully clear that the course of galactic history will never be the same again.

Summary
When Master Jaro Tapal finds an orphaned and blind force-sensitive child named Cal Kestis, his first instinct is to take him as his Padawan. Unfortunately for him, the Jedi Council ultimately chooses to refuse his request, forcing him to give the boy away to a monastery on Jedha to be raised by monks.
Meanwhile, on a distant planet, a handful of dark-force wielding witches manage to escape the genocide of their clan. With everything lost and without guidance, the remaining Nightsisters appoint the oldest survivor of their coven as their leader, in hope that they can rebuild their clan.
The demise of the Jedi at the hands of a cruel Emperor shifts the scales of power, and a new alliance stands to be formed when Cal Kestis gets captured and delivered to the new Mother of the Nightsister clan.

Summary
The Stinger Mantis was a small ship. Cal was by no means claustrophobic--an adolescence of crawling into the smallest parts of a scrapper job had cured him of any risk of that long ago--but even he felt the close quarters of the ship when they were in hyperspace. It took approximately forty steps to pace from his workbench in the engine room to the cockpit. Cal knew, he’d counted one sleepless night.

Summary
Cal wasn’t usually the kind to take breaks, but it was nice to spend time with the crew when they weren’t running for their lives. Not that being chased didn’t have its moments. It could be fun sometimes, in a reckless barely-get-out-alive kind of way. But this time had been a bit too close to the ‘barely’ and even Cal had to admit that.
While the recovery from Nur continues, Cal struggles with the past. Cal and Merrin find a quiet moment on a beautiful planet and take in the galaxy.

Summary
I wasn't a fan with Jedi Battle scars and a lot of the direction they took, but I did enjoy the overall story. I decided to rewrite it. The story has the same basic premise but with less Merrin and Fret stuff and a lot more under tones with Cal and Merrin. Hope you enjoy my version. Also I have the crew make a few references to past works I've done as I try to tie them all together.

Summary
“See you.” She offered him a smile and waved daintily.
As he turned to leave, he hoped she couldn’t see the smile that came upon him that he knew was useless to resist.
Omega. Indeed, he would be hoping to see her around wherever he went on Pabu.
― ―
One year from Omega’s freedom from the Empire, life couldn’t be better. She gets to be with family and friends without interruption, and Pabu is home. But one day, a new person comes to her island. A boy. A boy who she feels particularly drawn to, one that shows her friendliness and that welcomes the same from her. A boy who also happens to know about things that Omega would rather forget about completely, like evading the Empire and using the Force.
Cal Kestis meant for his trip to Pabu only to be a reset after time spent warring against the Empire. It was only meant to be a vacation on a picturesque island. He didn’t mean to meet a girl who he would instantly form a crush on. He didn’t mean to dig up old memories that were better left untouched. Above all, he definitely didn’t mean to discover the existence of a girl clone, much less get swept up into a romance with her.
Or: Cal and Omega heal together while growing ever closer.
