Hello! This will be an ongoing collection of my short stories, ficlets and drabbles that focus on Atton Rand and Aquila Ornil (my LSF Exile.) Most will fall between 100 and 400 words and will not run in any particular order, rather they are just quick peeks into the tiny moments shared between the two of them. So, without further ado, let's get writing!
A Shore for Two
Short and strong. Scars like winding roads, dimpled skin their mountains, silvered stretch marks their rivers. Her accent was polished, but the words that spilled out we're befitting of the gruffest of space-port workers, not the impish smile that formed them.
Her words.
Her weapons.
A shield better than any Echani offering.
She was not Atton's typical fascination, the twi'lek dancer or lithe assassin; one night for the right exchange of credits, hollow words and empty touches. No, this was something more. She was his sanity, his best friend, the one to pull him back to the surface when he drowned in his demons. A saving smile and sparkling eyes that met his own and led him to shore.
A shore for two, or so he hoped.
