Summary
Times are lean for Cad Bane, living in the margins of a once-stunning reputation. A deal he made with a Jedi is amounting to nothing more than silence and solitude. But news smashes into the Outer Rim like a cannon shot: the Separatists have invaded the Duro sector in a catastrophic push. The Galactic Core is in a panic. The Duros people are crushed.
And the Jedi? Obi-Wan Kenobi? Well, they all have a hundred other concerns, don’t they?
Duro, of course, is no longer Bane’s home, so if opportunities should arise from this situation… that’s perfect. He can return and do business. A Duros of his skillset ought to be in high demand.
This isn’t personal. It’s fine.
He’s fine.
Update—Chapter 11: Homeworld Elegy (Fic Complete!)
There was no pain anymore: just an endless, rolling current...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi with countless regrets. However, forging a shameful secret with the notorious Cad Bane while undercover… it actually wasn’t one of them.
He wishes it was. What sort of man does that make him now?
After all, something inside has started to crack. Perhaps that’s why he isn’t even surprised when a certain bounty hunter surges back into his life, dead set on turning his calamitous fall into fortune… and on making the Jedi suffer that did him wrong.
Update—Chapter 19: The Traveler's Steps (Fic Complete!)
“Everythin’ can go sideways.” Bane didn’t blink. “Everythin’.”Series

Summary
Two unlikely souls wander the Commonwealth. One raises hell in the name of freedom, righteousness, and that next, delicious high. The other desperately tries to protect people in the only way the military taught him, even though his world is long dead, the return of his kidnapped son an agonizing pipe dream.
On the road, these two will forge the greatest bonds they’ve ever known. For family. For freedom. For love.
And for sweet, sweet Mentats.
Update: Chapter 34—Wound. In which there is a rock no one wants, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and conversations overdue.

Summary
The Jedi Persuasion was utter torture. Maybe he deserved it. After he escaped custody, Bane begins to dream of a life he could never have, and a woman that doesn't exist. At first he thinks the nice dreams are a blessing, but for a non-force sensitive like Bane, the reality is... dreams never come true.
Mostly bounty hunting stories with a dash of romance.
