Summary: When Feemor warned the Council that a jedi had died, he couldn't have known what they would uncover. (Even if he kind of had.)

A/N: I'm trying very hard to avoid any ships in this series save for Kei/everyone, but that's mostly one-sided and just his personality, because the entire point was focussing on lineage feels and making everything better for everyone except Palpafucker, because fuck his wrinkly face anyway; how long do I have to wait before I have Feemor 'accidentally' defenestrate him?, but I admit that I also stumbled across a few Jango/Mace fics partway through last chapter and it was an honest struggle to resist the urge to just shove their faces together. (Look, friends, I am an unapologetic shipper to my core, and this fandom is just rife with dumb boys who could stand for a bit of buggering.)
So, you know, if you're seeing shippy moments, it's not intentional, but *fist bump because we're clearly in the same boat*

Uhm, I rushed writing this chapter, a bit, because I wanted the fic done in time to give it a reread before starting to post for Mace Appreciation Day. Hopefully I've caught any glaring errors, but if you see something that's made you go 'what the fuck's Bats trying to say here?' please do point it out and I'll fix it the next time I'm at my comp. So long as, you know, you're not a dick about it.

Mando'a, once again, has both hover text and translations in the end note.

A/N: Go on, ask me how long I debated how to go about bringing the clones into this AU.

So, it's not really clear how much most jedi know about the origins of the clones, because everything we know the jedi know, actually is learnt by members of the Council or Anakin. Given they fall pretty much immediately into the war, I went with the assumption that not every jedi knows everything. So, for Feemor's part, he knew they were created on Kamino, he probably knows who the template was, and he can do the maths to figure out this is about the time they were ordered. But who did the ordering and the chances that Dooku might have stuck his nose in? Yeah, not so much.

The timeline is a little wonky here, I think. Uhm, according to The Clone Wars, Sifo-Dyas was on a mission from Valorum when he was killed, but general consensus I'm seeing otherwise has Dooku not leaving the Order (and, therefore, starting his Fall) until after Qui-Gon's death on Naboo. *handwaves everything* Bear with me, I guess?

One last note, promise: Because Feemor is very much Coruscant-bound for the foreseeable future, it seemed silly to write from his PoV, so I'm picking on Mace this time. Which, related, posting the first chapter for Mace Windu Appreciation Day.

This fic is completed at three chapters and will update every other day. If you prefer to read a fic all at once, come back on the 27th.
