SUMMARY: The girl was powerful in the Force; this was what Senator Ben Solo realized first. What he noticed second was her lilac lipstick, marking her as a courtesan. His third realization was the most important: he wanted her like he’d never wanted anything in his life.

Rey from Jakku quickly learned things about the Senator as well. He was on nearly every viewscreen in Hosnian Prime, he was foolish with money, and he wanted to buy her. It took her longer to figure out that he was a liar, as powerful as he was breakable, and the home she’d always wanted.

Read from the beginning.

The final chapter of Asking Price is here. We it’s worth the wait!

creator tag meme

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

Thank you for tagging me @politicalmamaduck! This was a fun way to acknowledge the creative work I did this year--and thus remind myself that 2020 wasn’t ENTIRELY a wash. I’m going to include WIPs that I’ve resurrected because those are projects I’m especially proud of.

The Valley of the End

Ships: SasuSaku & NaruHina | Rating: Explicit

My dystopian AU in which the Uchiha Clan rules Konoha. Expect to find angst, political maneuvering, smut, war, and betrayal. This fic has been my baby for years, and I *finally* worked up the inspiration to continue it this spring and summer. Unfortunately I got hit with writer’s block immediately afterward, but I’m shaking it!

Outside of Love

Ships: Neji/OC and unrequited NejiHina | Rating: Explicit

This oneshot from the At the End of All Things series follows the Hyuuga Clan’s dysfunction and machinations in the background of The Valley of the End, told through the eyes of Neji and my OC Hana. Oddly, I think it might be the best thing I wrote in 2020.

My lovely friend @birkastan2018 commissioned @nikirooo to make the most beautiful art of Hinata and Hana! I love it to pieces.

Not Quite White Knight

I just finished the second draft of my original novel with @reylotrashcompactor Not Quite White Knight. It’s a new adult contemporary romance that kicks off our Kipling University series with ladylike Noelle Cabot and Roland Lakes, the gruff football player with a surprisingly soft heart. Tropey as hell, with opposites attract and beauty and the beast vibes galore. 

We wrote the first draft of this book back in May 2019 and it had been sitting on google drive gathering dust until we tackled it for nanowrimo. So glad to have it done! (For those who are counting, that’s our third manuscript down.)

Read about it on our website here.

Asking Price

Ship: Reylo | Rating: Explicit

This is my and RTC’s most widely read Reylo fic, and we are so excited to be returning to it! It’s a Senator Ben / courtesan Rey AU, which one reader described as “Pretty Woman in space” and that’s a tagline I can get behind. We only have one chapter and an epilogue left!

Make It Through the Night

Ship: Reylo | Rating: Explicit

TROS broke my heart, but at least it inspired me to write fix-it fic. RTC and I knocked out 13k of semi-corporeal ghost Ben Solo haunting Rey on a winter planet in just a few weeks. It helped me heal from Ben’s death, and I hope to finish that fic once we complete Asking Price.

Asking Price: Chapter 14 Sneak Peek

Dawn came too soon. Sunlight filled Rey’s bedroom with golden warmth, drifting through the sheer white curtains. A beautiful way to start the day—except, Ben didn’t want to start it at all. He wanted their fragile night to last forever, because he didn’t know what morning would bring. There was a distinct possibility that Rey would kick him out of this bed and never welcome him back into it, and he wasn’t ready to face that.

Ben watched her sleep. She lay on her back, one arm flung over her head, the other across her bare chest. Sheets were tangled around her waist and legs, the duvet kicked to the foot of the bed, a testament to their vigorous night. Rey’s hair spilled across her pillow, and Ben couldn’t resist touching it, wrapping one fine lock around his finger. He’d like to touch more of her (all of her, even) but he didn’t want to wake her yet.

She frowned, her brows furrowed and mouth tight, and flinched. A bad dream, maybe. She had nightmares almost as often as he did, he’d learned, although both hers and his had faded to nearly nothing over their time sleeping together.

Ben brushed his fingers across her forehead, and her expression smoothed. She sighed as her whole body relaxed, a peaceful, pretty sound that spoke of contentment, of safety.

Then she opened her eyes. They looked almost as golden as the sunlight, more honey than brown at the moment, with only the slightest hint of green.

“Morning,” Ben whispered.

Rey’s lips twitched, not quite a smile. “Morning.”

She stretched, yawning, her body arching beautifully, small breasts thrust forward. He tried not to stare. Tried, and failed.

Rey’s smirk suggested that she didn’t mind. “It’s early,” she said. “Did you sleep?”

“No.”

He hadn’t dared. If this was his last night beside Rey, he’d refused to miss a moment of it for the sake of a little rest.
