    Summary

    Y/N makes a desperate pact with a demon for one simple, aching thing: for the Batfamily to love her back. Not romantically, not greedily, just the way family is supposed to love someone who has been standing in the doorway too long, waiting to be invited in.

    But demons adore loopholes, and this one turns Y/N’s wish inside out. Suddenly, everyone she meets is drawn to her with unsettling warmth, devotion, and fascination, while the only people she actually wanted remain untouched by the curse.

    Worse, the contract comes with a monthly murder clause, strange rules Y/N has to unravel through trial and error, and the slow, horrible realization that magic can force affection from strangers but still can’t make family choose her.

    Summary

    You’re a systems analyst from the Galactic Republic Oversight Commission assigned to a remote GAR construction project. ARC Trooper Fives takes one look at you and decides he knows exactly what your deal is. He is wrong.

    Unfortunately, it takes him several days, one morally problematic bet, and the collective mockery of his entire squad to figure that out.

    Summary

    You’re sitting in a cantina on your war-torn home planet of Antochí when a Republic broadcast cuts through the noise.

    A clone sergeant is asking for volunteers. No one cares. They don’t trust clones, and they don’t want the risk. But you have nothing left here. No family, no home, no reason to stay. So you go.

    What starts as a relief mission to the city Ólethros becomes something else entirely: a desperate evacuation, a canyon turned battlefield, and a group of troopers who begin to feel like something dangerously close to home.

    And somewhere in the middle of it all, a captain who was never meant to be yours.
