Thanks to OechsnerC for the feedback!
This is a very different chapter. A while back, I was asked about a timeline of events for this story. So I figured I would do a short chapter and recap everything that has happened. Because I'm not sure where the ens is for this story. With every Star Wars game or Clone Wars Episode, I find there is something new I can add to this.
Think of this chapter as a supplemental. It's not necessary to enjoy the story, you can skip it if you'd like, it's just here for fun.
So, without further comment, here's the timeline:
Chapter One: In My Heart: O BBY
Chapter Two: Shadow of a Spectre: O BBY (Concurrent with Rogue One)
Chapter Three: Always in Motion: 0 BBY (Concurrent with Rogue One)
Chapter Four: Where Joy and Sorrow Meet: 0 BBY (First half of ANH)

Chapter Thirty-Three: Redemption Story: Part III: 4 ABY: (Two Years and Five Months after Battle of Hoth: Four Years, Seven Months after ANH)
. . . . . . . . . .
I thought it might be interesting to give ages for everyone:
Ezra Bridger: Twenty-Two years old
Sabine Wren: Twenty-Three years old
Hera Syndulla: Thirty-Four years old
CT-7567 (Rex): Thirty years old (Clone body Anakin gave him. If you count the accelerated growth in his original, Rex is around Ninety-Eight (Twenty by the time of the Clone War, Twenty-Three by the time of Clone Order 66, Fifteen years in the desert, making him Thirty-Eight, another Five for ANH, Forty-Three, and than add five years for this fic. All that gives you Forty-Nine, which you then multiply by two. Ninety-Eight))
Anakin Skywalker: Thirty-Three years old (The clone body he made. Technically, Skywalker is closer to Fifty-Three)
Cal Kestis: Thirty-Seven years old
. . . . . . . . . .
Ezra's story: After losing his Master, Ezra is lost, unable to find purpose until Chapter Seven, where Kanan speaks to Ezra about letting go of the past. Ezra's resolve lasts until Chapter Thirteen, where Vader blinds him. Taking time to heal, Ezra momentarily rebounds during Chapter Seventeen, which then shatters upon being betrayed by Lando. Ezra and Sabine take time off in Chapter Nineteen for six months, which sees them get married. Chapters Twenty to Twenty-Three hammer at Ezra's state of mind until the end of Chapter Twenty-Three, where Sabine is shot. Thinking she died, Ezra goes on a rampage for six months, finally being reunited with Sabine in Chapter Twenty-Five. From there, Ezra goes to Dathomir and meets Cal Kestis, while Sabine meets ARC Trooper Echo and learns that Vader captured Rex. Reuniting to rescue him, Ezra and Cal break into Vader's Castle on Mustafar, only for Ezra to get captured, which inadvertently frees Anakin Skywalker. Chapters Thirty-One to Thirty-Three deal with the Redemption Story of Anakin.
Sabine's story: After convincing Ezra to stay in Chapter One, Sabine finds that, after Kanan's death, she is the only one who is truly able to help Ezra deal with his grief. Grieving herself, Sabine and Ezra grow closer, and Sabine finds she has feelings for Ezra, but is unable to express them. Following the Battle of Hoth and Ezra's blindness, Sabine finally admits her feelings to Ezra, scared they will end up like Kanan and Hera, running out of time. Developing a relationship, Sabine becomes extremely nervous to let Ezra out of her sight, demonstrated in Chapter Seventeen. After getting married, Sabine starts to show signs of pregnancy, which happens to coincide with the deaths of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, as well as the fracture of the Alliance. All of this puts a mental tax on Ezra, which culminates when Sabine is shot by a sniper. Saved by her beskar armour, Sabine tries in vain to locate Ezra for six months, giving birth to Caleb Wren in the meantime. Finally reunited, the duo move to Krownest with Caleb, but split up on separate missions a year later, leading to the discovery of Cal Kestis, and the redemption of Anakin Skywalker.

In my head, there are (at least) three arcs, each with their own main villain. Kei Larson was the villain of Arc I, which concluded in Chapter Thirty. The main villain for Arc II is one I'm still ironing out all the bugs, but suffice to say it should be very interesting. Then the final villain (Be it Arc III or later (probably later)) would be Emperor Palpatine.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this supplemental; I certainly enjoyed creating a timeline of events. Next chapter will see us getting back on track with the story!
Thanks for reading!
