KYLO + QUINN BOOK 1 SPOILER ALERT!
This is a collection of one-shot styled happenings that exist between Book 1 & Book 2, where Harley takes Kylo's hand and they adjust to life on The Finalizer. (Obvi Harley gonna take that hand, yall.)
Synopsis:
Kylo takes on the role of Supreme Leader after Harley joins him with the goal of creating a better galaxy without the dichotomy of Sith & Jedi. They try to figure out the best course of action to keep Harley safe & excuse her presence on the ship without anyone suspecting their relationship as it unfolds. Behind closed doors, Harley is Kylo's Princess of Darkness and he, well, she's still trying to figure out how to define it.
These are for the most part day in a life pieces to explore some of the more insignificant days on the ship that may or may not ultimately shape their characters & relationship. Mostly for writing practice. Very different stylistically from Book 1. No 4th wall/writer breaks, just occasionally in scene 4th wall breaks by the characters. Lots of descriptive writing & trying my hand at writing smut for real. Smutty chapters will be noted in the title.
Some Basics:
Kylo & Harley are both switches. There are elements of BDSM, but I try to make it very clear that the environments they create are controlled. (Plz lmk if you feel I can improve on making this clear.) Many chapters have them address parts of their pasts & working towards a better future, thanks to Harley Quinn's background in psychiatry.
Kylo Characteristics: OCD, PTSD, BPD, abandonment issues, a bit controlling with his care, anxiety, attachment issues, maybe a bit of fawning when it comes to Harley, big yelly boy.

In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans.
Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember.
Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride.
Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny.
Love isn't part of the plan.
But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.
