    Summary

    Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:

    “Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”

    Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”

    Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”

    She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.

    “I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”

    She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

    “I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”

    Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.

    Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”

    Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.

    Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.

    “…Oh thank god.”

    or.

    Summary

    Hallownest is a Trade Kingdom whose doors have been shut for years.
    It needs merchants to travel through its doors once more in order to recover from the stress that the infection put upon its food stores.

    Will this lost city make a comeback, or will the Eternal Kingdom of Hallownest fade from a more mundane tragedy?
    Can the denizens of Hallownest show the invited guests that it is worth the trip or will it slowly starve under its own weight?

    Summary

    The infection is a disease of the mind caused by an angry god who is dying from a lack of worship and belief.
    So what happens when they believe a simple item can keep her from their minds?
    After all, what is a god to a nonbeliever?

    A frightened human who doesn't know how she ended up in Hallownest tells a white lie to some children to help them with their irrational fears. It spirals out of control.

    Summary

    A series of connected fics that explore the Skywalkers, and particularly Anakin, through the lens of Tatooine slave culture and the history and reality of enslavement (and resistance).

    This series ties in with The Tatooine Cycle in that I make use of the same headcanons and world-building for Tatooine slave culture and religion.

    Summary

    A connected series of fics that place Tatooine at the bright center of the universe, and focus in particular on the lives, beliefs, struggles, world views, and stories of the slave characters. In part an effort to reintroduce the issue of slavery as something central to the narrative and to the characters' conceptions of themselves, as well as an effort to prioritize the stories of non-Jedi, non-Core world characters.
