    Summary

    The Princess of the First Order is nothing but a burden to her father Supreme Leader Snoke and everyone around her. She especially despises Commander Ren, who scorned her the most at her weakest. After extensive training in the secretive and elaborate Bene Gesserit Order, the Princess returns a new woman - a fearsome weapon necessary for the proliferation of the First Order’s supremacy.

    Upon meeting the Princess again, Commander Ren is bewitched by her alluring charisma and captivating beauty. How will the Princess, still resentful of Kylo Ren, ward off the enchanted Commander’s growing infatuation?

    Summary

    You are not a saint. You are not a hero. You’re barely even a living person, because living people have lives that extended beyond work and their apartment. But you’re not quite nobody, either. You’re too much, and not enough, and just in the shadows with a prayer to be saved that isn't genuine and secrets that mean nothing.

    They should’ve meant nothing.

    Yet here you are. In more danger than usual, being threatened by Hydra without knowing why, and being assigned a security detail you don’t want by Captain America.

    Bucky Barnes is good at his job. You’re not going to die.

    But you might end up strangling him before Hydra gets to either of you.

    Summary

    You can’t help but be taken aback by just how many emotions he holds in just his eyes. Where panic and anger just were, now he just looks scared. His damp hair clings to his neck, his flesh hand trembles on his stomach. For a moment, the light catches his eyes, you’re struck by a blue so vivid it’s almost impossible to describe. You’ve painted countless skies and seas, but never a color like this.

    Swallowing, you force your voice steady. “You were bleeding a lot. I… I found you in the alley. There were cops in the area, so I thought it’d be safer in here.” His eyes dart around your living room, trying to make sense of what he woke up to. “I can call an ambulance—” The panic in his gaze stops you. “Okay. No ambulance. Look, I don’t know what happened, and I’d rather not. But you’re in bad shape, and I don’t know any other way to help.”

    You realize he’s not going to speak, as you both sit on opposite sides of the room just looking at each other. He looks about two seconds from dropping again, his eyes alert but the rest of him giving his condition away. Honestly, as terrifying as it is having him awake, you take that over him dying or passing out again.

    Summary

    Mara's world begins and ends in The Menagerie, a brothel on Canto Bight where she's spent the last five years learning that survival means keeping your head down and your mouth shut.

    Then Kylo Ren walks in. And he doesn't look at her the way the others do.

    He's brutal. Possessive. He should scare her more than he does. But he's also the first person in years who seems to see her, even though she's not sure who that is anymore. She doesn't know why the Commander wants her, or why his presence makes something stir beneath her skin.

    She doesn't get a choice when he takes her. But for the first time in five years, she's not sure she cares.

    Summary

    Everybody in this line of work finds their way to cope. And as monumentally stupid as it was to fuck your boss, it was easier on the liver than liquor, much more legal than drugs (if not particularly ethical), and less damaging externally than some kind of self-harm.

    (Basically this is over 50% shameless porn with some slight angst thrown in to make it feel like it has a plot)
