    Summary

    Rey lands a job caring for the daughter of millionaire Ben Solo, but it is weird in unexpected ways. Like how his manager, Hux, goes away on the full moon, the housekeeper, Rose, smells like blood, and the seals on the shore go mad when Ben gets near. But the most unexpected thing is that she and Ben strike up an unlikely but real friendship.

    A paranormal Jane Eyre AU. Enjoy!

    ::Ben looked inquisitively at Hux. “Speaking of which, what was with Rey and washing up? Does she know about you?”
    “No, I think she’s genuinely helpful.” Hux sounded pained. “She's also annoying.”
    “Ah. With her insistence, I started to wonder. Are we sure she’s not—in the circle?”
    “I know, you can almost smell it on her,” Hux agreed, “but she isn’t. Is that a problem? We did want a normal for Adele’s sake.”
    “I still do. That’s good. And she’s not the usual kind of problematic, I assume? Not trying to sell tabloid stories or anything?”
    “No. Rose put her in the adjacent room so she can hear everything. She isn't talking to anybody."
    At one time Ben might’ve felt bad about this casual invasion of privacy, but it was how he had to live now. He trusted Rose and Hux implicitly, but new people had to be watched.

    Summary

    Seventeen-year-old Rey Niima moves to the small mountain town of Red Hollow, West Virginia, after losing both her parents and being forced to live with her hostile stepfather, Unker. Trying to survive her junior year unnoticed, Rey becomes fast friends with Rose Tico—one of the only bright spots in her new life.

    But everything changes the day she bumps into Mr. Solo, the school’s strict, intimidating, and undeniably magnetic history teacher. He is cold, unreadable, and surrounded by rumors—and yet Rey senses something else beneath the surface.

    As a string of murders spreads fear through the town—each victim a teenage girl who looks eerily similar to Rey—strange things begin happening in the forests that border Red Hollow. Mr. Solo seems to know far more than he should. He watches Rey, protects her, avoids her… and is haunted by something he refuses to name.

    Drawn into a world of danger, secrecy, and forbidden connection, Rey begins to wonder:
    Is Mr. Solo the only one who can save her—
    or the one she should be running from?

    Summary

    “There’s no shame in it, by the way,” Ben murmurs over his shoulder, the barest hit of teasing creeping back in along the edges of his low voice. An unmistakable downward dip of his eyes that she does not understand nor wish to analyse.

    “What?” Rey mutters quietly, feeling as though all the fight has left her mind and body.

    “Not knowing certain things… and needing a teacher.”

     

    (In which Rey tries to navigate her new life on the Resistance’s base while the newly-defected Ben Solo makes himself the bane of her existence)

    Summary

    In 1951, Hogwarts makes a startling change - for the first time ever, girls are permitted to shadow professors as part of their fifth-year curriculum. Sixteen-year-old Rey Niima, diligent and eager to please, finds herself placed under the tutelage of the school’s newest instructor: the grim and glowering veteran, Professor Ben Solo.

    What begins between the two as contemptuous, becomes something far more perilous when they become inexplicably linked. Soon, Rey finds herself in over her head with a desire she cannot begin to understand. Devotion and danger often wear the same face, and in this case - that face holds a scar and a gaze that Rey can’t hold for long.

    New chapters every Monday (& sometimes more).
