Bookmarker's Notes
Post-TLJ, the Force bond won’t close. Rey and Kylo Ren remain connected across the galaxy, and despite everything, they can’t stop talking to each other. About war. About right and wrong. About each other. The arguments should push them apart—they pull them closer instead.
Then she’s ambushed on Nar Shaddaa, and Rey learns exactly how far the Supreme Leader will go to get her back.
Some decisions dirty your hands. Some choices have no right answers. And some monsters will burn the galaxy down before they let you die.
A canon divergence story exploring moral complexity, the cost of war, and what happens when enemies fall in love across battle lines.
Following the events of The Highest Bidder, Rey and Kylo Ren are separated by a war, a galaxy, and a secret that could destroy them both.
He's remaking the galaxy. She's holding herself together on the other side of it. The distance between them is growing, and so is the risk of everything they've built unravelling.
Every day the war continues, the price of holding onto each other gets higher. The question is whether their love will destroy them both or remake the galaxy.
Book 2 of The Highest Bidder trilogy.

“I miss you.” She whispered.
His smile never faltered and he extended one of his bloody, broken hands, “I’m right here, nothing to miss. I’ll always be right here.”

Summary
In which Ben visits Jakku while on a smuggling run with Han and finds himself strangely connected to an obstinate scavenger girl. What happens next can only be the will of the Force.
The wrench dropped from Rey’s hand, clattering noisily on the grated floor. Neither of them seemed to notice, strangely beguiled. She settled on her knees between his legs, her hands running up the length of his thighs. Her touch was searing. They were both utterly and inexplicably entranced. Total strangers, and yet…

Summary
Brother Kylo Ren is called upon to investigate a string of mysterious deaths in a small northwestern town. It's supposed to be an easy job; the culprit is an obvious case of unchecked lycanthropy. But too quickly he stumbles back into his painful past, and in doing so he uncovers so much more.
*
Rey blinked a few times in quick succession, then spoke breathily into the narrow space between them, fingers gliding up and down his hand and arm, “ You’re my mate .”
Kylo didn’t have the time to process the meaning of her words before she lunged forward, fingers dragging up his bare chest and lips meeting his in a searing kiss.
Kylo Ren burned.

So good it must be bookmarked even if WIP that may never be finished.

Summary
Frank huffed, setting the mug down. “How many times are we going to have to go over this, Mel? I like listening to you talk. I’m not just being nice. We’re friends.”
“It’s important to ask,” she said, still watching him carefully. “Because sometimes people say they want to know something but they don’t actually mean that they do. They’re just being polite. And it’s hard for me to tell that, always.”
“I’ll tell you what,” he suggested. “Let’s make this easy. With me, you never have to ask. Consider it my… blanket approval, I guess.”
He pointed to himself. “I, Frank Langdon, am interested in what you have to say.”
