Fics like The Balance of the Galaxy

Cody's path to treason had been sewn in a thousand tiny insults, until the indignities small and large accumulated into a moral injury so vast he could no longer fight for the Republic. Had it started two years ago on Coruscant, when Senator Amidala had approached him about the clone citizenship bill, and Cody had become suddenly aware that none of his men had legal rights in the Republic they fought to defend? No: at that time, though dim, the fire of rebellion already burnt in his heart. Farther back, then: had it started in a star ship above that first battle of Geonosis, desperately coordinating troop movements as he realized none of the Jedi had any clue what they were doing? But this wasn’t quite right either: the realization of the Jedi's faults came more as a resigned weariness than shock. So, then, the only place left to look for the first tinder of rebellion were in the creche, listening to the Wookie nursemaids singing lullabies of their destroyed forest homes. The mournful growls must have sparked something fierce and defiant in Cody’s heart, even as far back as then. The clones were raised by displaced Wookies. It changes everything.
