    Summary

    With just two days from being evicted and her roommate urging her to become an exotic dancer to pay the bills, desperation compels Rey to march into the First Order in hopes of a summer job doing mind-numbing clerical work or degrading assistant errands. Instead, she is nearly knocked down by one of the company's leading executives. A man desperate for help himself, but not from unpaid bills.

    Ben, having never successfully lied about anything, finds himself following the lead of a girl who seems to have an answer for everything. As a Risk Analyst, strategy and logistics being the few things that make sense to him, he knows the odds are slim that the ruse will last...until it stops feeling like one.

    ☀️☀️☀️

    A story of two people who grew up too fast, one by choice, the other by necessity. Be it by fate or dumb luck, it results in a summer of discovery, revelations, and something more neither of them has ever felt.

    Summary

    Ben Solo has nothing left to lose when he runs from his life in Coruscant. Aimless wandering leads him to Niima Motel, a bare-bones motel in the buttcrack of Modern America: Jakku.

    Rey Niima, the receptionist of the motel, refuses to let go of her past, afraid to even dream of a future beyond the remote town of Jakku, when he shows up at the motel, dishevelled and looking every bit a man on the run.

    It's not a surprise to either of them when they fall into each other's orbits.

    But nothing good ever lasts forever.

    Summary

    After a video of a girl playing drums and singing on the side of a trashy desert highway went viral, a small, but growing band managed to stake their claim in the world of “real” music. They signed with a record company led by a seasoned icon and were playing in real venues for the first time. Rey had never been this happy. But with that happiness, things were also spiraling out of control. She couldn’t handle the social media attention, people comparing her to other artists, accusing her of stealing other peoples’ songs, and even finding herself wrapped up in a rivalry with one of the most popular metal bands on the planet as their frontman had a grudge against her producer. Which means she now has a grudge against him and his disgustingly rich, oppressive record label, Empire Records. But at least she has "StarKiller", a mostly anonymous songwriter from an old YouTube channel she loved when she was a teenager. He’s the only person who seems to understand how lonely things are when trying to work through the creative process, but she hasn’t told him that she’s really the lead singer of a growingly popular band.
