  2. Summary

    When Ben Organa Solo decides to leave the temple to follow his father instead of his uncle, the voices in his head recede. He doesn't know it, but for the time, he's safe. Then, a typical run for his father's acquisition business goes sour, and he takes a First Order general hostage. All his convictions are thrown into disarray, and when he's given the chance to explore his power, all of it, he takes it.

    General Arrik Hux knows power. Seeing it so tightly contained in Ben Solo creates an intense need to have the man, to tie him close with bonds of loyalty and regard. He imagines himself keeping his own personal Sith enforcer, the respect he would command with Ben Solo's name harnessed to his. It's not long before the two have twined their fates together, their stars connecting in an intricate constellation of trust, anger, ambition and desire.

    This is the story of how Ben Solo, 28, late attendant of the Senate, successful smuggler, failed Jedi padawan, is seduced by the Dark Side, dragged down by a man who's never given a chance to see the Light.

    Summary

    Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."

    Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."

    (Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)
