Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 WATTY AWARDS* and also a *2022 AMBY AWARD WINNER*! This story is a new hope for Ben Solo, after the end of Kylo Ren... Unbalanced without the other half of the dyad, Rey hopes for a way to reach Ben Solo after his disappearance on Exegol. The discovery of a strange book takes her back to Tatooine and other familiar locations, and soon Ben returns to a world that is working hard to rebuild itself in the wake of the Final Order's destruction. But Ben Solo has returned with the aim of fulfilling one final destiny -- one that even Rey cannot sense in him -- and when most people see him only for who he was, not who he is, he thinks that destiny will be easy to fulfil. But defenders can come from the most unexpected places... Especially when Ben Solo could be crucial when it comes to Rey's intentions for the new Jedi Order. The Force demands balance, and he was, after all, the son of a princess and a scoundrel before he was anything else... **CONTAINS SCENES OF A SEXUAL NATURE - all such chapters are clearly marked** --- Characters, names, places, historical events are the property of Disney/LucasFilm and are used here in a fan-created story in honour of the inspiration Star Wars gives to us all.

Neo Ruhl didn't expect that he'd start out his 20s with a child to take care of. But really, Neo didn't hesitate to throw away such immature desires; more than anything, he wanted to carry out his brother's dying wish--to raise his son, Evaughn. That was in the beginning, though. When everything was perfect, and he'd joke about how they'd Ruhl the world one day. A sweet pun. But one that warped. Who knew that after years, Neo would want his nephew worse than dead?
