Summary
Echoes in the Force linger longer than truth.
A collection of glimpses - half-remembered visions, battlefield residue, ghost-impressions in stone and starlight. These are the remnants of him, a fallen Jedi and vigilante whose name is spoken with respect, regret, or rage depending on who remembers him.
These are not roleplay hooks. These are warnings. Invitations. Wounds.
Read them. Breathe them in. Then decide if you still want to follow the trail.

Summary
The treasure was never theirs to take.
In the ash-choked wastes of Searing Gorge, a young Dark Iron Dwarf finds a Thorium Brotherhood outpost violated: its sacred ingots stolen, its memorials defiled. The looters are not goblins or troggs, but desperate humans who believe their cause is just. With only hours left before sunrise, the clock is ticking before cover is blown and the bandits escape.
Darbakh is not a diplomat; he is a force of the deep earth. With only a loyal gnoll and the terrain itself as his weapons, he races against time to teach them the true price of steel. The bill comes due - in cunning, in fire, and in blood.
A gritty piece of backstory for my Argent Dawn EU roleplay character, set before the First War.

Summary
In the cold dark between the stars, evolution is a weapon.
The Culling are a semi‑nomadic warhost of post‑human zealots who descend upon planetary systems like a surgical plague. Led by the gene‑forged warlord Harko Jendari, they believe that only conflict can refine a species - and only the worthy deserve to survive their trials.
They strike from orbit with precision fire, unleash vat‑grown bio‑daemons upon the ground, and harvest the strongest survivors into their ranks. Their leaders never truly die; their genetic legacy is preserved, reborn, and reforged in every new generation.
This collection follows this Havoc Brothers warband through raids, rituals, betrayals, and battles across the galaxy.
Expect orbital bombardments, biotech horrors, elite post‑human warriors, and the grim poetry of a group that survives by testing the universe (and themselves) through fire.
Evolution is not a right. It is a judgment.

Summary
They didn't listen to him about the Great Recession of 2008, or the Domino Crash of 2011. They didn't listen to him about World War III, World War IV, or the global depression either.
A fictional tribute to Peter Schiff, the guy who's consistently been proven right even when he wishes he'd been wrong.

The House We Made of Ash by Ihsan997

Summary
Vega escaped the Eternal Empire's chains on Korriban. She wants no part of another war - not the Alliance's, not anyone's. Just silence, a crumbling lean-to on Rishi, and room to breathe.
Then the Jedi arrives. Exiled, brutalized, as tired as she is. He doesn't demand her story. She doesn't demand his.
Two survivors. One shared roof. No redemption arcs, no grand destinies; just the slow, careful burn of trust between enemies who might become something more. A post-KotFE/KotET hurt/comfort slice of life about trauma, privacy, soft touches in hard times, and building a fragile home from ashes.
Enemies to friends to lovers. No one gets fixed. They just...survive. Together.

Summary
Drabble and short scenarios of a Sith juggernaut and his crew of original characters. So a rewrite of/alternate take on the Sith warrior story, I guess.

Bookmarker's Notes
Reading guide per the author's reply to my comments:
"Bound is the OG, the starting point. As I’ve mentioned before, it leans heavily into dark themes. It started with Drukhari/Eldar dark romance meets psychological horror. It starts there, but eventually ends up as human/Eldar yuri.
On the Path of War is the direct sequel. There’s some romance, but the focus shifts to Ellasar’s moral dilemmas and development as a warrior.
Bloom is an alternate ending to Bound. Definitely don’t start there.
Wither is another AU. Be warned—it’s deeply disturbing.
Rise and Fall are prequels. They can be read on their own, but they were written after Bound and provide context for the main characters. Whether you want to start with them or jump into the main fic is up to you.
Then there are the three comedies:
How to Raise Your Exodita Sororita (a total crack AU, very absurd)
Shine (AU, which is basically a parody of Bound, so reading Bound first will make this more fun)
Corsair Bebop (still a WIP, a canon side story that takes place after Bound)"
