**Chapter 19: This isn’t love

Notes:

Welcome to the chaos, friends. In this collection of vignettes and ficlets, I will be exploring the many AU versions of an original pairing of mine: Allana Djo Solo (daughter of Jacen and Tenel Ka) and Darth Festus (an original character who first appeared in Enter the Foreign and has since featured in most of my spin-off works in that 'verse). I make no guarantees that this collection will follow any orderly or logical narrative; there will be happier AUs and darker AUs, and I fully expect that my current crop of Enter!verse AUs will expand the further into this I go. I may even occasionally slip in some ficlets from the main 'verse, just to keep things interesting.

By the way, this collection isn't just for shipping! There will be plenty of alternate takes on the Super Evil Chaos Twins of Evil as well, and further exploration of their relationship in all its incarnations. Other characters will come and go, but you can expect Allana, Festus, and Ferrus to feature most prominently throughout.

I like to think you can jump into this 'verse anywhere you want; click here for more info and more stories about these characters.

A huge thank you to Mira_Jade for her incredible enthusiasm for this project, and her encouragement and spot-on insights as I set to work on it, and to Gabri_Jade for reading just about every scrap of writing I've done on these characters and for her endless faith that I actually know what the heck I'm doing. Love you, girls. <3
