Got around to another chapter update. Had recently gotten Laid off… AGAIN. (So fucking tired of ‘winning’ in T/rump’s economy). So I’ve been job hunting and doing some freelance stuff and had to put the writing on the back burner for now. But I’ve got this chapter, so not all bad!
Synopsis:
One of Hondo’s pirates, fed up with his leadership, looks for a way out of the gang when an opportunity working on the Millennium Falcon presents itself. Talos Ren finds his targets and a whole lot more than he bargained for when Kylo Ren and Rey take him to the hidden Jedi temple.
Excerpt:
“Oh you’ve got to be kidding.” He complained when his visor compensated for the blinding red and yellow pillars of flame and then he saw them. Kylo Ren and the Jedi girl.
“Master?” He asked with genuine confusion.
“Talos?” The former Supreme Leader replied.
“You know him?” The Jedi girl added, then a moment later, “He’s a Knight isn’t he?”
“Yes he is and that’s a problem. If he’s found us the others aren’t far behind.”
“Actually—,” Talos began to protest.
“Then we need to kill him,” the girl said.
His heart shot into his throat as he pointed an accusing finger at her. “Now hold on a kriffin’ minute!”
Kylo gave her a curious look, an almost disapproving look before suggesting, “No, we need to learn all he knows first—,” then he fixed him with a murderous stare, “— then we kill him.”
Talos was on the verge of panic but was composed enough to say, “Look boss, I know you have reason to want me dead right now, but a word of warning to you, there’s a giant eight-legged monster chasing me and if we don’t get out of here, we’re all bug soup.”
“Eight-legged creature?” The girl said with disdain. “Her name is Archie and she’s the guardian of this temple. You’re the intruder here, scum!”
Bewildered by what he was hearing, and slightly more bewildered by the fact that the two of them were only half dressed, Talos was unable to keep his confusion in check. “What? You have a… name for that thing? Are you kidden’ me right now?”
“No, she’s not,” Kylo replied. “Now get up; we’ve got a lot to talk about.”
This one’s on my to-read list!!!! It has a VERY similar feel to mine, so I’m glad to see there are others out there who think like I do! VERY excited to get started on this one!
Reincarnated characters from The Last Jedi cross paths on Earth. Rey is referred to a specialist in hypnosis and EMDR to deal with her recurring nightmares. There is something vaguely familiar to her about the charismatic hypnotist, Dr. Ben Solo…
Past and present lives collide. Ben must choose between love and revenge, while Hux stalks Rey for his own devious agenda. Echoes of the past reappear in the present, and Rey must struggle to find her identity in her present life before it’s too late.

I’m SO SORRY for the delay on Chapter Fourteen. I’m getting ready to undergo a MUCH NEEDED breast reduction in seven days, so I’m in a blind rush to do All Of the Things before the surgery. Mostly, this means my mother will be coming to stay with me. For twelve days.
MY MOTHER IS STAYING WITH ME FOR TWELVE DAYS.
MY.
MOTHER.
So, if you’re a sane and rational adult, say, over 30… maybe child-rearing, married… home-owning… you know what I mean. That means that if my home doesn’t pass a Navy regulation white-glove exam, I could very well be in an insane asylum and my house could be on fire before this month is over. I could be in jail for murder. Or, I could spend the ENTIRE twelve days completely conked out on muscle relaxers and narcotic pain medication.
Anything could happen.
I’m also planning a Bye Bye Boobie party to say farewell to my larger, not so pleasant assets, so tonight I’ll be baking dozens upon dozens of cupcakes that will be decorated to look like boobs. So… things have been a little wild to say the least.
Also, the chapter is a bit long, but it’s because I tied up the first part of the story with Chapter Twelve, and now I’m trying to put the next half into motion, it’s taking a little set up. It’s not Chapter Twelve long, but it’s of a decent size.
I’m on the LAST section of it, though, so I should have it out hopefully on Sunday. After this surgery, I hope to do some more little one-shots, too, for the weekly challenges. I have been so sad I’ve been too busy to participate. I REALLY wanted to do the Food challenge…. dangit. I may still write that story anyway =D
