Most people living in the upper levels of Coruscant didn't give much thought to what happened to their trash. But when trillions of people are living on top of one another it builds up fast. The privileged probably assumed it was burnt or buried or shipped off to some other planet. The truth was, when trash has nowhere left to go, it doesn't disappear. It simply stops being trash and becomes something else. Part of the landscape, a feature, a landmark. Eventually, even the ground underfoot.

The detritus of a thousand generations, discarded and crushed and compressed until eventually it was indistinguishable from the intentional structures around it. Coruscanti schist, the bedrock of the planet. The present and the future built on the bones and middens of the past.

So when Fox said Coruscant was a city built on its own filth, he meant it literally.

 When a handful of clones unexpectedly attack their Jedi, Commander Fox is tasked with clearing their names before "justice" is served. He and his reluctant partner, the peculiar Jedi Quinlan Vos, pursue their investigation deep into Coruscant’s underworld.

It’s finally finished! The final chapter is now up! I hope you’ll check this story out if you haven’t yet, it was a lot of fun to write. And a lot of work, mysteries are no joke! 

Many thanks again to my wonderful @clonebang teammates, @sankt-jesper and @flowerparrish, for their awesome art and podfic for this fic! Please be sure to check out their contributions here and here on Ao3 and give them some love! And thanks to the awesome mods for putting the event together!

Is there more Fox/Quinlan to come from me? Eventually! But I’ve got a fic queue as long as my arm and while I’ve got more ideas for these two, it will probably be a while before I get back to them. Right now I’m working on a bunch of fics for Waxer*Boil Month in March 2024, so stay tuned!
