Summary
"Your name is Dirk, and you are on a mission.
Licking your lips, you lift your weapon and place the sharp tip to his Adam’s apple, which is presently bobbing up and down in a gulping apprehension. Your eyes glance dismally down at him, darting along his body one last time. His bare chest, strangely, does not heave any longer, nor does it pant; he’s started holding his breath. His fingers squirm and writhe beneath your foot, desperate to pull the trigger of the gun in his hand. Your eyes catch his own as he stares up at you, eyes wide and frantic and frightened.
He knows perfectly well that his life will probably end here.
Gods, you have never seen such beauty."

Summary
The sad, funny war memoir of Wolffe, clone commander for Jedi General Plo Koon. The story tracks the life of a clone soldier from extraction to self-awareness to adulthood as a lethal fighting force. Wolffe recounts in hilarious deep detail his observations and experiences among the different beings of the Clone War Era, from the battlefield, to time aboard ship, and what people get up to on their own time. He has heard more stories than even your most jaded cantina owner. His early days were filled with hope, as the Jedi impress him with their compassion for his kind. Eventually, he sees the toll the war is taking on him and his brothers and wonders what is the point of it all. He tracks his descent into addictions as he gives in to despair, without losing his dark sense of humor.
An attempt to give Wolffe some more complexity. After this, he took on a bit of a life of his own.

Customs are a funny thing. The smallest gestures in one may be the greatest of insults in another. Unintended consequences can lead to hurt feelings. While the modern mammal may not have all of the raging instincts of the past, the effects still linger.

Summary
Halfling is a highly offensive term in Hobbit culture. This meant the dwarves were being obscenely rude by constantly referring to him as one.
The nerve.
Bilbo Baggins was no halfling, and he would ensure they knew it.

When daemons hatch plans to seize power for themselves and transform the lives of creatures across the country, vampires and witches are left to unite against them. The only problem? They're mortal - well, immortal enemies.
Doctor Merlin Emrys, a powerful witch, only learns of the daemons' threat after a chance meeting with Arthur Pendragon, a vampire who was turned after the infamous Battle of Camlann.
To achieve peace among all creatures, they'll first need to get along themselves; so when Arthur threatens to drink Merlin dry, and Merlin conjures magic that could kill Arthur, things don't look so good for the two of them.

Summary
Kryptonians are not human. It’s easy to forget, even for Clark. That being an alien means more than his powers. There are traits rooted into the DNA, coming out in the subconscious, until not even Clark notices. Kryptonians, among other things, build Bowers for their mates, beautiful homes to settle into. It’s more than a tradition, it’s a way of life.
When Clark begins to redecorate, he doesn't know why it matters so much to him. And why it matters even more when Bruce doesn’t even care. -
