Summary
Camelot. It makes Rachel think of nice things, of lords and ladies and spring weather and her horse cantering beneath her. It doesn’t make her think of this place. This place looks like something from a nightmare.
(Or, my take on the never released WotW Camelot sequence.)

Summary
A series born out of my frustrations on canon and how it sometimes glosses over life within the Empire. In order for cohesion, all these stories a.) are set at some point when the Empire has power, b.) have Wedge Antilles appear or referenced in some way, and c.) are meant explore to things that either are implied to have happened in the Empire or are likely to have happened. Thus, by its very nature this series deals with sometimes heavy topics and reader discretion is advised. Stories are sorted by their timeline within Star Wars and not when I've actually published them. Every story can be read as a standalone, unless specified otherwise by me in the opening author's notes.
(Update March 2026: Since I'm unsure when/if I'll come back to this series I'd thought I'd share with you guys my playlist for it to tide you over. I listened to this a lot while writing nearly every fic in this series, and it evokes a lot of Star Wars and Wedge emotions in me. Please enjoy!)

Summary
Nothing to see here, just two little Undertale fics written and posted exactly nine years apart for some reason.
These run concurrently with each other, but can be read in either order.

My mind is a safe (if I keep it then we all get rich) by Shadowstorm66

Summary
Sometimes the hardest thing isn't surviving an alien invasion. It's surviving the aftermath of an alien invasion...with your ex-wife. And her husband. And her parents.
At least Ray doesn't have to worry about the aliens anymore, right?

Summary
Marisa’s earliest memory is of sea, sand, sky and sun; building sandcastles, playing tag with the waterline, learning to swim in the shallows, the smell of sunscreen and the taste of the large strawberry ice cream cone she wheedled Papa into buying for her every time they went to the beach.
(The story of Marisa’s childhood)

I should have bookmarked this a long time ago. "But that’s the beauty of these tactics: you can know exactly how they’ll affect you and be helpless all the same." THAT LINE GUTS ME EVERY TIME.
