Summary
The woman in the mirror has blood on her clothes, cash in her bag, and a letter telling her it's better to forget. Well, it happened. She forgot everything-- including her name. And she wasn't the only one afflicted.
It'll take the combined efforts of gumshoes, a flatfoot, a washed-up Hollywood starlet, and more to get to the bottom of this bad business. In the end, these things always come back to the beginning.
[Or: Film noir, Reylo style]

Summary
She didn’t want to die. She didn’t. But did she really have much of a life anyway? Who was she apart from the Anchor? The Inquisition? Everyone else had moved on, but she couldn’t. Because of her hand. She could never be just Ellana again. She was the Herald, Chosen of Andraste, the Inquisitor, forevermore. Her legacy wasn’t up to her, though. That was for storytellers like Varric. All she could do was stop the Qunari and their agent of Fen’Harel in the Crossroads before time caught up with her.

Summary
Since usurping the throne of Alderaan a decade ago, Emperor Snoke has banned the use of magical powers within the kingdom. Only Snoke himself and his elite Imperial Guard are allowed to wield magic for their own cruel, destructive ends.
Rey is an orphan of Snoke's war of conquest and survives as a scavenger in the wastes of Jakku. The threat of death for using illicit magic is no concern of hers - until it is.
Kylo Ren, the most fearsome of all of Snoke's masked warriors, sees something in Rey she'd rather he didn't. To protect her from Snoke, he hides her away in his abandoned ancestral home, teaching her how to wield the powers she barely understands. Rey's lonely - until she starts being visited at night by the mysterious Ben, whose face she can never look upon, but whose soul shines to her despite the darkness...
Or: A quasi-medieval retelling of Eros and Psyche, with lashings of Beauty and the Beast.

Summary
René Boucher of the White Spire once posited that the Veil which separates our world from the world of dreams was not a natural phenomenon, but the creation of a single powerful mage some many thousands of years ago. The Black City, he claimed, was that long dead mage’s final message. A beacon of doom. “Come no closer,” it warns. “Great danger lurks within.” Boucher devoted the whole of his life to proving this hypothesis—or at least he tried to, until the Divine personally demanded he undergo the Rite of Tranquility in 7:63 Storm.
It was quite the scandal.

Beautiful prose. Not a narrative so much as the embodiment of a feeling. Utterly unique.

Summary
"I suppose I'd somehow struggle through / But I'd hate to picture myself without you." — Cole Porter
It's impossible not to have a soulmark. It's not a big deal, not in the lax and gin-soaked speakeasies of 1920s Manhattan, but it's still a heavy weight to bear, as Ben Solo and Rey find out side by side.

Summary
“Boys, please stop arguing.” Rose rubbed her temples.
“Poe, we get it, you’re childhood best buddies, you’ve got a better grasp on his character than some rando of a rando you met at a party. Finn, for fuck’s sake, we’ve been working with Ben for months. I’m pretty sure if he’s a serial killer or whatever, it would have come out by now.”
Finn sat back in his seat, grumbling. “Not how serial killers work.”
Rey was going to have a headache if this continued any longer, so she lied through her teeth at the reality of a new player joining their D&D party. "He seems nice." She didn’t trust a single inch of skin on that man. "I'm sure it'll be fine."
