Summary
As professors at rival colleges and practitioners of antithetical branches of magic, Rey Niima and Benjamin Organa loathe each other.
Or so all of Oxford believes. In reality, their new research partnership serves more than one purpose: rediscovering a form of spellcraft once thought lost, reforming opinions on the supposed immorality of blood magic, and paving the way to reveal their relationship without losing friendships, tenure, or grant funding.
But a series of murders on campus reveals a worrying trend: all the victims have a connection to Ben, and the killer is a mage up to no good. The biggest obstacle to going public might just be surviving long enough to do so.
———
Or, fake dating but make it fake hating. And a murder mystery. With bird shenanigans. Because Reylo.

Summary
After the death of her only relative, Rey moves to the city, intending to disappear and start her life again. On her first night there, a snowstorm grinds the city to a standstill, cancelling public transport and forcing everyone inside. Rey, obeying her long-held ritual of treating Friday nights like a personal car crash by going out clubbing, is too drunk to remember her new address, and finds herself stranded on the street as the weather closes in. Enter the club’s resident DJ, who takes her back to his to sleep it off for the night.
But then the snow keeps falling. Rey can’t get home and, raised by her uncle to count every penny, she knows the cost of a stranger’s kindness. A man who picks up a drunk, defenceless woman from the pavement could only want one thing…couldn’t he?
What if it’s about what she wants instead?

Summary
For the past year, Rey has been playing a dangerous game with Kylo Ren, deliberately putting herself in danger so she’ll be captured by the First Order and taken to an interrogation suite for the Supreme Leader’s attention. After all, the danger isn’t real; the Supreme Leader never hurts her unless she wants it, and she always gets away at the end.
Their game hasn’t gone unnoticed. Tava Ren, new leader of the Knights of Ren, has had enough of watching the First Order’s immense power—a power she wants—be wasted on a single prisoner who yields no useful intel.
Tava wants to teach Kylo a lesson: if he wants to take prisoners, he needs to keep them. And pain isn’t the only way to make them talk.

Summary
Six months after the murder of Senator Snoke, Ben Solo is making some positive changes in his life. With a new job, a new hallikset, and a new hand, he’s almost ready to kick some old habits and start making a difference, starting with the correspondence course in Galactic Conflict History from Hosnian New College he’s just signed up for. First things first, though: he’s still due to take Rey, fresh from her Jedi training at Luke Skywalker’s temple on Ossus, on their promised tour of the galaxy.
But it seems that the threat posed by Snoke refused to die with him. A new power rises on the edge of Wild Space, along with whispers of the return of a mysterious Grand Admiral of the old Empire, lost since the Battle of Jakku. Several systems threaten to leave the fragile New Republic, leaving it at risk of collapse. Poe Dameron, a leading figure in the nascent Resistance, calls on Ben and Rey for help.
Will they be able to stop old enemies from tearing down the galaxy? And will Ben get his assignments finished on time?

Summary
The holocron landed on Findo’s desk just after lunch. She saw the problem instantly - one of its facets had sheared away from the central mechanism, clearly because someone had been too hamfisted in opening it - but the fact of it was that she did not repair holocrons, and Master Jinn had not submitted a ticket.
A series of vignettes from the life of Findo Gask, Jedi Temple IT Support Technician.

Summary
Rey is a Jedi - or that’s what everyone says. The Resistance, decimated in the Battle of Crait, needs the morale boost of knowing they have a Jedi on side, and she’s the only one amongst them who can use the force. And she has a secret she can’t afford to reveal: her force powers give her a connection to their enemy, a connection she can’t seem to let go of.
Caught between her duty to the Resistance and her complicated relationship with Ben Solo, Rey finds herself weaving increasingly elaborate lies to stay afloat. And sometimes, it’s not always Ben she finds in the force. Sometimes it’s the other part of him.
