Summary
In honor of March Madness about to start and for all the basketball fans, a fluffy AU story about a small-town girl on a basketball scholarship to Gonzaga. Determined not to be a teen mom like her own mother, Rey's focus was on earning her degree and maintaining the basketball scholarship that eliminated the need for student loans. Then she met the tall, dark-haired player on the men's team. Is there room for romance between basketball and books? Can she trust a senior about to graduate and join the NBA not to break her heart?

Summary
Dystopian tale inspired by The Handmaid's Tale and Star Wars. With a fertility crisis around the globe and political leaders doing nothing to stop it, a political fringe group mounts a coup and seizes control of the US by force. Single, fertile women are rounded up to serve as either wives or surrogates.
Fear gripped Rey as she rushed to her window and looked out onto the downtown Seattle city streets already filled with people heading to the march. Suddenly, a crimson fire ball erupted along the parade route by the Seattle City Hall and Municipal Court buildings. Rey felt the blast slam into her window, rattling the glass, as she stepped back in shock. The fire ball mushroomed in size and morphed into a huge black cloud rising several stories high and more than a city block wide. Craning her neck, she observed glass from less protected windows littering near-by streets.
As she watched the black cloud engulf several streets as it rolled downhill to the Seattle waterfront, activity several docks away from the black cloud caught her eye. Multiple black military looking HUMVEE-like vehicles left the docks and headed up Madison, Marion, and Columbia into the downtown core.

Summary
Excerpt:
Seeing Rey’s dead serious look only deepen, Rose raised her right hand and in her most serious tone added, “I, Rose, hereby solemnly swear that I will ensure Rey and I arrive back to my home alone and unharmed after Poe’s party.”Rey gave her a hard stare for a few more seconds before her face cracked into a smile and she doubled over from raucous laughter.
“You!” Rose seethed, realizing she’d been fooled. “If you ever get bored with academics, Miss Straight A Valedictorian, you should major in drama! You’re better at acting than whomever it was that won the Best Actress Oscar this year!”
“Wait! Who did win the Best Actress Oscar this year?” Rey asked.
“I don’t remember,” Rose replied, shaking her head and making her bob swing so a few strands got stuck in her lipstick. “But she wasn’t very good, at all. Which is why I don’t remember her name! Hey, I wonder if she slept with someone to win that award…”
“Rose,” Rey laughed, “If you cared half as much about your grades as you do pop culture, you’d rival me for valedictorian!”

Summary
She had made a joke early in their relationship, hadn’t she? About still finding Jakku sand in her sheets even after five years in Chandrila, and he had laughed and caught her close and called her his little pearl.
“I guess he changed his mind,” she whispers into the gloom of her new home, and dumps her meal half-eaten into the trash.

Summary
"So eager. She is here for you, Kylo Ren." His heart started beating harder in his chest and his stomach flipped. "General," Snoke addressed the red haired man before him, "I believe you wanted to break the happy news?"
"Ren," Hux began. He had that smarmy look on his face that made Kylo want to choke him to unconsciousness. "Kira has been brought here as your betrothed."
There was a strange buzzing in his suddenly incredibly empty mind. No. They had to be fucking with him. They couldn't actually mean - "You want me to marry her?" he finally sputtered out.
