    Summary

    Now, in that study at the river estate, Cassian looked down at the female who would be staying with him for the near future. At the eyes that had drained of fire at the sound of her sisters words and were now nothing but hollow, unseeing.

    “You’re coming with me to the Illyrian Mountains,” he told her.

    Those steel blue eyes bore into his, unblinking. He waited for the retort, for the snide remark that would send him reeling but it didn’t come.

    Somehow, that was worse. It meant that the situation was far graver than any of them had realised.

    ___

    A Nesta & Cassian fic - a tale of how Nesta slowly starts to heal and how she & Cassian grow back together.

    Summary

    She looks up at him. His face is too soft, too open. Ready for her to reject him, call him one of the ugly names people reserve for alphas, to remind them of their place as primitive remnants of an old system that most people have evolved past, outcasts who have to be controlled. He’s already wounded without her having to wield the blade.

    “Please,” he says and reaches out a hand. She gasps and flinches away, though he was nowhere near touching her. “Please. I’m not—I wouldn’t. Don’t run. I promise—I would never hurt anyone.”


    A lonely young woman arrives at the cottage she inherited from her grandfather on a remote lake in northern Ontario, to find her neighbour is a rare Alpha, a relic of the old days when humans were ruled by their designation. Across a long hot summer, they connect over their shared history, and she finds that the past may not be as far away as she assumed.

    Summary

    Eager to start a new life, Rey bribes her way onto a ship bound for Canada and disguises herself as a young man to become the irascible Captain Solo's cabin boy.

    This goes exactly as you think this will go, with lots of angst, smut and drama along the way.

     

    Rey was going to have to undress him. All of him this time, and there was no escape.

    There was such a mixture of emotions running through her head that she barely knew how to separate them. The most immediate was nerves, the fear that this was another chance for him to discover her secret. But almost as intense was the burning curiosity to find out what lay under his breeches.

    And then finally, hardest to name but growing in intensity, was the understanding that she found this man attractive, very attractive, to an almost distracting degree, where just being near the heat of his body created a corresponding heat in her own.

    Summary

    It's hard out there for a female Alpha, especially one with Rey's past, but she's worked hard to find her place. Now at 22, she's the owner of the trendiest bar in Vancouver, The Antilles, which is staffed with her best friends and (unfortunately) full of pretentious hipster customers.

    When a mysterious bottle of gin shows up at the bar, Rey sets out to find the person responsible for distilling it, and discover exactly how and why they chose to make it. Because the gin isn't just unusual; it also smells exactly like her.

    Every night, at 8:30 pm, Rey and Ben get on stage and pretend to be in love with each other. At 9:15, they walk off stage and the actual fireworks begin.

    Or: "60s country singers who hate each other (but not really) and find themselves in an only-one-bed, huddling-for-warmth type of situation."

    Summary

    In the end, she has to hand it to him— he'd always been an expert in taking her by surprise, and it would appear that he's chosen not to shake the habit even in death.

    "Rey Skywalker?" There's a vaguely sardonic twist to the corner of his mouth. "Does that make you my cousin now?"

    "It seemed like a fitting tribute," she says in wooden tones. Be it dream or vision, she might as well play along— draw this out until reality comes crashing back. Who knows when he'll come to her again as solid and as vibrant as this?

    "I see." Suddenly he's leaning into her, their faces so close together. "Tell me," he murmurs, his lips almost brushing against hers, "have you ever heard of the term kissing cousins?"

    She registers the smell of alcohol on his breath at the same time that his eyes flutter shut and he slumps face-down into her lap, snoring softly. You're alive, is all she can think at first, staring down at his head of lush black hair.

    Ben Solo is alive.

    Alive and very, very drunk.

    Summary

    "Come here."

    She is not proud, but she leaps out of her seat to cross over to him, rounding the coffee table only to stand in front of him with a drumming heart and shaky puffs of breath, not knowing what to do.

    She is not this person. Is she?

    Getting wet at being commanded around… obliging the one-word barks of a man she doesn't know.

    "Kneel."

    She sinks.

     

    I totally am.
