Summary
“It might be indelicate to breach the subject of marriage at this trying time...”
An adequate statement. The man had only been dead for three hours.
But one must always be practical.
“I am not so softened by sentiment in the matter as you would typically find a widow, Mr. Hux.”
Rey Niima finds herself in a perilous situation when her husband dies at the start of their journey West. From the few bachelors on the trail in her party; she attaches herself to the best of her options.
That option is the mysterious Banker Ben Solo.

Summary
"I can listen no longer in silence."
The hologram projection of his strangely handsome face is cobalt blue, flickering, and full of static. "I must speak to you, Rey. You… you pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me that I am not too late.” He groans, runs his hands through his dark, silver-streaked hair, then refocuses his gaze on the holorecorder. “I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Do not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death."
Here the recording of Ben takes a deep breath, and looks down at something outside the holorecorder’s field of view. Perhaps at his hands, Rey manages to think, through the veil of shock and timid, fluttering hope. She wishes she were there with him, so she could take them in her own, and offer him the confidence to carry on.
But this is only a hologram, so she must wait. Eventually, when he looks up again, his features have settled. He looks… Fierce. Determined. Self-assured.
"I have loved none but you," he says.

Summary
Hermione Potter has always lived in the quiet spaces of Harry’s shadow. Sorted into Ravenclaw, she finds solace in art and classical literature, preferring ink-stained fingers and empty hallways to the weight of a famous name. While her brother becomes a symbol, Hermione chooses knowledge and invisibility… until she forms an impossible bond with a Slytherin prince during her first year at Hogwarts.
Loving Draco Malfoy was never meant to be an option. What begins as stolen conversations and shared silences becomes something dangerous… something that could cost them everything.
Especially when the Dark Lord decides he wants Hermione for himself.
