He leaned in, cupped her jaw with a gentle grip and kissed her—slow, lingering, tasting of morning and arrogant certainty. When he pulled back, he whispered against her mouth, “Good morning.” He pulled her bottom lip with his teeth and when she gasped, he continued, “I take it that you slept well.”
Her mind reeled. The peace fractured completely. Questions screamed inside her head. The headache returned, leaving her incapacitated for a moment.
Her body tensed.
The baby unlatched, tiny brow furrowing and intense blue eyes—the same shade of the man staring at her—welling up with tears.
She froze. Unsure of what to do to calm down the upset infant.
Krennic scooped the baby with practiced ease, soothing him in under a minute as Kleya adjusted her nightgown.
She pressed two fingers to her temples again, massaging the spot. It did little to relieve the pain and discomfort.
When she next looked up at him, Krennic stared back with furrowed brows.
“Kleya, are you okay?”
The next words that tumbled out of her mouth were bewildered, “Why are you here? Who is this baby? Why are you kissing me?”
Bad Reality | A Krennic x Kleya story will be available on AO3 on May 1st for Domaystic 2026.
Excited to share here my newest Krennic x Kleya WIP because I will go down with this ship. I had the idea after seeing the prompts for Domaystic 2026. I actually shared here that I'd write snippets for Better Half, but then an idea for a Alternative Reality struck me. And I was like... why the heck not?
I had the idea yesterday and as of now I have 3 chapters done. The story will be told in prompts, so each day a different prompt and a new chapter. I don't think I'll update daily, but that's something entirely different. But I can assure you the story will have 31 chapters. For now, they're all around 1k-2k. I don't think they'll get much bigger than that.
Here goes the summary. And if anyone is interested in Domaystic 2026, here you can see the list of prompts. Because why the heck not transform domesticity into something absolutely suffocating?
Summary: The Death Star is operational. Luthen dies because of this piece of information. And Kleya wakes up in a new reality in which none of it matters, because neither of these things has happened. She’s married to the architect of destruction: Orson Krennic. Actually, it’s much worse: he and she have a son together and she’s never been part of the Rebellion. Tethered to a reality that makes absolutely no sense, Kleya has no option except to use what she knows and her abilities to bring down the man who now shares her bed. The question is: can she? Will she?

Can't wait for May!!! If everything goes right, I'll update Bad Reality, the new ABO story, Bitter Taste, take part in both Luthen Week and SWShowsweek!
She couldn’t shake off Luthen’s words—couldn’t shake how they messed with her.
The Rebellion was her entire life—she denied herself love, affection, intimacy for it.
She didn’t care. She didn’t need any of It.
She needed the Empire to fall. That was all that mattered.
And now Luthen took it away from her. Like he took her parents from her once.
He was, once more, sweeping everything she knew from under her feet.
And she was supposed to what? Thank him?
Because she had Krennic? Because she was a mother?
She’d never asked for that—for them.
And yet, as she turned off the hair dryer the sound of happy giggles and water being played with dragged her to the refresher in the nursery before she could control herself.
She expected to find Karim giving the nanny droid a hard time.
She didn’t expect to find Krennic soaked from head to toe as Karim hit the water with his chubby hands, making a mess of the refresher and his father.
When the child spotted her, he hit his tiny fists one final time in the water with all his might, before raising his arms and letting out the happiest of the squeals.
“Mama!”
Water flew across Krennic’s face and he coughed a little, spitting on the floor. He shook his head and looked at her over his shoulder.
The expression that stared back at her made her purse her lips into a thin line to avoid laughing.
Karim continued to move his arms excitedly, begging to be taken in her arms. Krennic shifted his attention back to him and took him out of the tub. He kicked his legs, wetting everyone further. Droplets of water hit her cheek.
Kleya got a towel nearby and wrapped it around him, drying his little face carefully as he continued to babble. The nanny droid beeped just outside the refresher, ready to get him into its many arms. He fussed a little, but settled when the nanny droid started humming, its voice eerily similar to hers.
She and Krennic reached for another towel at the same time. He let his fingers slide away as she grabbed the fabric. She didn’t think, she just acted—bringing it to dry his face.
His intense blue eyes bore into hers, and his hand came up to covers hers, before she could move away.
She didn’t.
Not this time.
Bad Reality | A Krennic x Kleya story is available on AO3.
It’s WIP Wednesday babe!!! And here am with yet another snippet for my lil alternate reality written for the domaystic challenge.
Because I’m having too much fun with it and Karim is a cutie obsessed with his Mama. And why not throw a scene with Krennic all wet while we’re at it? As long as Karim is having the time of his life I don’t think he minds… much.
For those wondering about BH, I’ve the chapter outlined, but I didn’t sit down to write it. Between work and getting sick yet again, I didn’t do much these days. I’m not even past episode 1 in my Andor rewatch.
If anyone is interested in @domaystic 2026, if you go to their profile you can see the list of prompts.
Chapter IV - Bad Signals will be updated this Friday. You can read the first three chapters here.
“Kleya.” His voice was tight. With that throaty quality she had come to associate with him.
It was a warning.
Or maybe an invitation.
For he placed her palm right over his heart. She could feel the quick thud beneath her fingers as they curled, nails biting lightly into skin.
His blue eyes dropped once again to her mouth. Hers followed his lead, stopping at his thin lips.
…Krennic is no husband of mine…
This time she was the one to step closer.
She let the towel fall to their feet. But no one cared about it—she couldn’t care less.
Krennic’s hand found their way to her waist, holding loosely. He looked back at her eyes and when she nodded, they tightened around her.
His head dropped to hers.
…Krennic is no husband of mine…
She drowned her own voice—or the memory of it.
Their noses brushed.
“Dada! Up! Up!”
The excited, shrilling voice made them break apart. Krennic’s exhaled, his hands dropping from her waist. Her fingers, however, kept him close, still over his heart.
“Time for dinner, little master,” the nanny droid announced, leaving with Karim in its many arms. He waved at them as they disappeared through the threshold.
Kleya exhaled as well.
“You’re a good father,” she commented quietly, eyes set on his. She doesn’t know what surprised her more, the fact that the words left her unbidden or that she actually meant them. “He loves you.”
She let her hand fall from his chest.
He took her hand inside his, bringing her knuckles up to bestow them with a kiss—the contact electric and intense.
She shivered.
When he next spoke, it took her breath away.
“You used to love me as well.”

Yet another excerpt for my lil Alternate Reality fic written for the Domaystic 2026 event. I just finished writing chapter 7 and as of now, the fic has 13k. Hope to have at least 10 written before I post the 1st chapter.
And if anyone is interested in @domaystic 2026, here you can see the list of prompts. I'm having the time of my life with their prompts.
Here goes the summary for Bad Reality. Many thanks to both Roberta and @cliotris for their invaluable comments and encouragement to keep writing this fic. Love you, girls!
Summary: The Death Star is operational. Luthen dies because of this piece of information. And Kleya wakes up in a new reality in which none of it matters, because neither of these things has happened. She’s married to the architect of destruction: Orson Krennic. Actually, it’s much worse: they have a son together and she’s never been part of the Rebellion. Tethered to a reality that makes absolutely no sense, Kleya has no option except to use what she knows and her abilities to bring down the man who now shares her bed. The question is: can she? Will she?
