    Summary

    He didn’t need this kind of treatment from people who didn't believe in him. Paige was trying to get him to give up, right?

    “…I want to help, y'know. I think you can really do it.”

    …right?

    “But relying on ACME is just… holding you back. It’s just getting you stuck, and I want to see what you can do with things that work.”

    Summary

    He dismounts from the step ladder, his index finger in a copy of Œdipus Rex.

    “As you know, I am a student of the theater,” he says. “And as Sophocles would tell you, you cannot change your fate.”

    Mirabel accepts the slim volume, looking unconvinced. This is the part where she asks him if he ever thinks about gouging his own eyes out. She squints at a lithograph of the doomed king on the title page, his empty sockets weeping blood.

    “What if Sophocles was wrong?”

    Bruno Madrigal explores his Gift.

    Summary

    The Force is hateful, which is why the Rebel ship is gone when Maul returns to the place of its former position. Ezra must sense Maul’s building rage because he yawns and tries to catch a fluttering moth that passes by his head with a total lack of success. Maul murmurs vitriol into his temple as he takes both of them in angry lines across the field until the heat overtaking the back of his head has more or less burned itself out.

    He’s calm. He’s calm, he’s fine, he’s calm. One cannot explode into sun-levels of radiant fury when one is carrying a body susceptible to sunburn.

    “Your crew is dead to me,” he tells Ezra, who responds with inarticulate babble in an agreeable tone.

    (Maul acquires a de-aged baby Ezra and looks after him for a little while until he can reunite him with his friends.)

    Delightful read! And I’m normally picky about the de-aged trope, but this works really well.
