Summary
He picked it up and dusted it off. The front cover had a weird symbol on it, a golden pine tree with a silver star in the center of it. Sixer would have guessed it was a Christmas tree, except for where the star was placed.
He cracked open the book, and found his breath taken away. It was filled with sketches and writing, almost like what Grunkle Mason displayed at the Gallery, but not quite. At the Gallery, the paintings created intrigue by having magical creatures hidden in the background in some way. These sketches were more like portraits, with the weird and wonderful highlighted front and center, surrounded by notes that almost read as scientific.
AKA my take on the Relativity AU, in which Grunkle Mason runs the Gallery of Mystery, Sixer just wants to investigate Gravity Falls, and Stanley wants the epic summer romance of a lifetime!

Summary
There was a quick noise of a door opening and then shutting again.
“Well, hello, Sixer! Didn’t expect to see you here!” Bill said delightedly. He was muffled, but honestly not much.
“Uh, do you think they know we can hear them?” Grunkle Stan asked.
“Seeing as nobody warned either one, I doubt it,” their dad answered.
“Bill,” Ford greeted Bill tersely. The want to eavesdrop was insurmountable. Stan and everyone else in the living room fell silent.
A continuation of the Explain Yourselves au feat. Ford and Bill having the messiest conversation.

“We weren’t exactly planning on telling you any of this,” Dipper started, and then immediately realized that was a horrible start. Just immediately admit to not trusting your parents and keeping wild secrets, Dipper! That definitely won’t cause any problems!
"Yeah," Mabel agreed, because she was the best. “But that was before Bill Cipher showed up at the front door.”
“Who is he?” their dad asked.
“He’s this triangle demon we killed this summer,” Mabel explained.
“I’m sorry, a what that you did what to?” their mom snapped.
“Like Mabel said, he’s a triangle demon. Uh, he’s normally a triangle? He’s a dream demon, he tried to kill us so we helped our Grunkles kill him,” Dipper elaborated.
“I don’t know why he’s human now,” Mabel wondered.
As one, the whole family leaned or turned so that they could see the chair with Bill (unconscious again) in it through the doorway.
AKA the au where the kids are forced to tell their parents about what happened that summer.

Summary
When Batman tells a little girl about the tragedy that lead to him donning the cowl, a corrupt cop leaks the information to Joker. He decides to repeat the experiment, capturing the Thomas family and forcing Batman to watch as his own history is repeated. While Batman is quick and clever enough to save the Thomas couple from gunshot wounds, he isn't able to stop them from being poisoned by Joker Toxin. After such an intensely personal attack, twenty-two-year-old Bruce Wayne can't help but feel responsible for the kid left behind: eight-year-old Duke Thomas.
“You know I look at the police reports about Batman,” Duke starts, hesitantly meeting Bruce’s eyes.
“Yes?” Bruce prompts.
“People are scared,” Duke says.
Bruce gets a wrinkle between his eyebrows. “That’s the point, Duke. I want criminals to be scared of me. It’s why I chose to be a Bat, because that’s what scares me.”
“I think if I’m gonna work with you, I have to be the one to make it obvious that people can trust you. It’ll help that I’m a kid, I think. People just need a signal that help is on the way.”

Summary
Another step and he saw red skin and black tattoos. A Zabrak, and he had a feeling he knew this particular Zabrak. General Kenobi had talked about him before.
“Darth Maul.”
“Just Maul nowadays.” The voice was raspy from disuse. “And what are you supposed to be? A plaything or a meal?”
Cody preferred neither of those options. “How about a fellow prisoner?” He tried.
When Cody gets stuck in a prison cell with Maul of all people, he tries to make the best of it. Even when the Sith figures out that Cody has feelings for his Jedi General and can't leave that fact alone.

Summary
Jar Jar Binks/ Darth Maul (not a crackfic)
The young off-worlder sat down gracefully beside Jar-Jar—he did everything gracefully—from the way he swept aside his long cloak to the lean, sinewy line of his arm as he stoked the fire, the hilt of his strange double-sided laser-sword flashed from his belt. Jar-Jar was struck by a sudden, stinging dislike. A warrior like Maul would never trip over his own feet or fumble with his weapon. He would be perfect in every way, revered and honoured by his tribe…
The off-worlder turned abruptly and regarded him cooly with lamp-yellow eyes. Jar-Jar hurriedly looked away, heart beating very fast. He had been staring.

Summary
Rex thought he'd misheard when he was first told the young pilot's name. Years of warfare had taken a toll on his hearing and the accelerated aging didn't help with that one bit. More importantly, there was no way he’d just heard what he thought he had.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that. What did you say his name was?"
"Skywalker.”
For one solitary, delusional instant he lived in a galaxy where General Anakin Skywalker was not only alive but had been responsible for taking out the Death Star. It sounded like just the sort of thing he would do. But no. Anakin was long dead.
-------------
Rex finds out that Luke exists and has a difficult time processing everything. Three years later, he has the chance to meet him on Hoth.

Summary
One minute Fives is in a warehouse on Coruscant, waiting to tell his commanding officers of a conspiracy at the heart of the Republic. The next, he’s on the run with his former Commander Ahsoka Tano. There’s chips in the head of every clone trooper to make them kill their Jedi, and the Chancellor is in on it.
‘Do or die’ takes on a lot more meaning when you’re the only two people in the galaxy that can save the clones and Jedi from death, or worse.
