The Shape of Leaving is live on AO3.
Forty-nine chapters. A Kiffar pawnshop owner who builds exits for people who have run out of other options. A Mirialan Inquisitor whose analytical model has found something it cannot classify. A composite droid who files new categories when the existing ones fail.
It is slow. It is precise. It takes the Force seriously as a cognitive mode rather than a power set. It is set in a corner of the Star Wars universe that belongs entirely to original characters.
It is Book One of a trilogy.
Chapters 1 - 8 are up now. One chapter per week from here.

If it sounds like your thing, I hope it is.
