Summary
“Which one is she bound to?"
The Norns laughed, regarding one another with a mirth that appeared almost cruel. One by one, they took their eyes off of Odin and fixed them on you, quieting their laughter as they conveyed their final messages in hushed tones.
“Poor, poor girl.”
“The Goddess of Protection and the Watcher of Asgard.”
“Heimdall.”
------
Reader is the Goddess of Protection and finds herself bound to Heimdall by fate and by Odin.

Cato gets Laid (finally) by vyzz_undercover

Summary
Cato 'insufferable prick' Sicarius is terribly down bad for the XIIIth Legion's Ambassador. He hard copes—until he can't stand it anymore—and, finally, grows a backbone that's built for something other than warcrimes, warp related panic attacks, and being an conceited asshole his every waking moment.
Yes, he's getting the girl.
But he's also sure as shit still going to complain the whole time.
TL;DR: initial piss-poor cliche of "oh noooo ur freezing we need to spoon 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 style" got out of hand and I went overboard.
(all is written from the big blue bastard himself's perspective)

Summary
Trying my hand at a non-clone-centred story, picking up Fenn Shysa as he joins the Clone Wars and beyond.
Fenn's timelines are a bit confusing across the Republic Commando books and other Legends content, so I've just made up my own.
The story title comes from an Air Supply song (Lost in Love) as I revisit my 70s childhood - I unashamedly love their music!

Summary
Languishing in a dull and lonely existence on the forest moon of Endor after travelling there to help salvage Death Star wreckage, a nearly fatal encounter with a mysterious bounty hunter out in the forest heralds an opportunity to utilise long-forgotten skills and develop something more profound than you ever thought possible.
Second person POV, present tense. Set after season 2, diverges from Canon events before TBoBF and season 3. This is a novel-length, exceptionally slow burn with an original plot, worldbuilding, and fully developed characterisation. SWU concepts and lore are accurately researched.

Summary
Vulpes' lips brushed against her forehead. "Who would dare touch what is mine?” In a way he was right, who would willingly bring his wrath upon them, if this was work he carried out with detached serenity?
or
Guinevere told no one who she met on the road and agreed to investigate the smoke over Nipton, only to stumble into a nightmare. Torn between heart and moral demands, perhaps the best thing is to run. Or is it to inspire change?
Vulpes had not intended for her to witness his lesson to the depraved town, but was all too happy to redirect her misplaced compassion. She was, after all, already his.
Things spiral from there.
Good Karma Courier/Vulpes Inculta.

As she plots her escape, she finds herself entangled in a mess at the Fort. Caesar is dying, the slaves are restless, and Legate Lanius is eager to carry out her execution.

Summary
Vixie woke on the beach.
Sand, scalding hot, scraped her palms, wedging between the fabric of her gloves and under her nails. The sun baked her, hot through her worn leathers. The tang of salt and blood was on her lips and in her throat. The light had her squinting, pupils seared.
She stood on shaky legs, having to hold onto the burning wreckage beside her, her mind whirling and body aching, nausea bubbling up from her belly. She caught sight of her patchwork boots, the heel hanging together with a prayer—.
She lurched to a stop, staring downward, blinking twice as her ragtag leather armor remained in place—blurry, yes, but there. Though familiar, its appearance startled her. No, this wasn’t right. She had been wearing Dammon’s leathers, not this ill-fitting set she had stolen off some dead vagabond. She hadn’t worn this since—.
In her head, something writhed.
A scream tore from her throat, loosed into the air, echoing on that ravaged beach, where it had all started.

Or Tav wakes up back at the beginning.
Or a retelling of the game with my two Tavs, up until Act 3. Orin and the final arc will be a summary chapter at the end.

Summary
Courier Six of the Mojave Express is declared "The Last, Best Hope of Humanity"... although some might beg to disagree.
Vulpes thinks she's trouble. And he needs the work done without unnecessary obstacles in his way.
The Courier thinks Vulpes is weird... but she needs a friend closer to her age than the overprotective grumpies she hangs out with.
Vulpes is definitely NOT volunteering... but that doesn't seem to deter her. In fact, she's so geeky that she's contagious... and Vulpes has always been a curious soul.
However, as the line between duty and genuine interest starts blurring, the Frumentarius' ideals and loyalties will be put to the test when the Courier's group embraces him as the ninth companion.
Meanwhile, Caesar awaits... as well as the rest of the Mojave.(Consensual relationship, even if there are Non-Con elements pertaining to other characters in the fic)
