    Summary

    Most infants cried upon entering the world, as though even then they understood the cruelty that awaited them. The twins had not. From the moment the healers placed them in their parents’ arms, they knew something was wrong, and in desperation Chief Arnook carried his daughters to the Spirit Oasis to beg the Great Spirits for mercy. There, in the hush of sacred water and moonlit mist, he prayed to Tui and La to save his heirs. The spirits answered. Tui, the moon spirit, chose the younger twin, stripping Yue’s hair of every trace of pigment until it shone white as moonlit snow. Meanwhile, La, the ocean spirit, chose Xing Hua, darkening the upper half of her hair to the color of the deepest depths of the sea before letting the lower half fade into silver, like moonlight spread across dark water.

    Summary

    Tamtey asks So’lek about a very… delicate topic. Courting, Mating, Bonding. All things that he should have no issue answering. That doesn’t stop him from feeling nauseous at the thought of them touching someone, being with someone, wanting someone. As much as he admires Itu, the thought of his hands on them makes his throat squeeze and his hand reach for a knife.

    Summary

    Gwynne, an assassin and apprentice trained by Darth Maul, infiltrates the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to assassinate Obi-Wan Kenobi as her final test of loyalty.

    When the mission fails, Gwynne is held hostage by the Jedi Council. She is forced into an uneasy arrangement: assist in investigating the bombing that disrupted her mission while remaining under Jedi supervision, or be faced with a military trial. Though initially framed as temporary, the Jedi quietly extend her confinement, prioritizing their reputation over transparency.

    Who else is more qualified to watch over her than esteemed Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi?

    What begins as captivity evolves into partnership, philosophical conflict, and sparks of something more as Gwynne and Obi-Wan are forced to confront not only their pasts, but the systems that shaped them.

    Summary

    The day before Midsummer's Eve was when it all started. A magical, fateful night, if the fables of Gondor were to be believed. They had met in a brothel in the docks of Dol Amroth, of all places - a merchant’s daughter, and a scout from Prince Théodred’s éored. It would have been the perfect whirlwind summer romance, except…

    She wasn’t really a merchant’s daughter, and he wasn’t really a scout. Little did they know fate was, in fact, at work that night, and it had brought together the future King and Queen of Rohan.

    If their grandchildren ever asked how they met… Well, they’d need to come up with a better story, no doubt.

    The MCD warning concerns Théodred as per the canon, not Éomer or Lothíriel.

    Summary

    “Creativity takes courage”

    This was Miss Emma Watts' mantra ever since her family placed a brush in her hand at the age of seven. Clever, funny, gentle, and wise, but also sharp, nervous, headstrong, and messy, Miss Emma Watts had all the qualities to become one of the most successful artists of her time.

    However, she was a woman in a man's world and, as such, was not allowed to express her creativity as she wished.

    In the early dawn of 1815, with the support of her family, Emma secured a position as a model to gain access to night lessons at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts in London. There, Emma would not only find new ways to improve her art, but she would also cross paths with the wickedly annoying yet captivating Benedict Bridgerton.

    And so, the story begins—with naked forms, easels, clumsy movements, and two lost souls.
