Author has written 6 stories for Star Wars, and Game of Thrones.

Species: human. Alas.

Can be found on: YouTube threads, defending the brilliance of The Last Jedi from the unworthy peasants. (Really tried to comprehend all the hatred, and it definitely makes no sense to me apart from the fact that it's a global sport nowadays, to moan and complain about everything and anything.)

Specialization: PhD student by day, Star Wars enthusiast by night.

Religious affiliation: was a hard-line Reylo sceptic, and now is converted to its most zealous follower. Still unsure whether this made my life better or ruined any prospect of normal human-to-human interaction.

Other personal descriptors: Friendly nihilist who shouldn't be taken seriously under any circumstances. Also, an idiot who only much later discovered how to post chapters as actual chapters, and not as separate stories. I'm deeply embarrassed by that, so I'll go on and brood over my many failures wearing nothing but high waisted pants and a hair wrap.

To whoever dares to thread here:

I'm bleeding out all of my ideas about the Ep. IX right now and soon I'll be focusing solely on my story "And they have escaped the weight of darkness". It will be a melancholy filled piece with serious musings on the subject, but I'll keep it elegant, succinct and in-the-character.

My other story "Everything under the heaven" is more of an extravagant parody and tongue-in-cheek, although many themes are seriously dealt with and I don't take even my comedy lightly. I was long stuck with that manuscript and it was something of an acquired taste for me. But it emerged as it is after a lot of writes and re-writes. Hopefully, it will not fall flat.

"Game of Stars, Throne of Wars" is the shortest and the most light-hearted of all. I enjoyed thoroughly writing it, and I hope it shows. It is based on my personal impression that Jon Snow and Ben Solo have a lot in common and, have they somehow met, they'd probably end up dwelling on past and brooding over their many mistakes and losses. Ben would get drunk with Corellian wine and cry in Jon's shoulder for Rey to come back. :) This doesn't happen in my story, but still I can see this scenario coming to life. :D

"The Tree of Life" is a depiction of Reylo married life post-Episode IX. I really hope they get their happily ever after, or I'll need to start taking the antidepressants to see me through Ep. IX.

"The New Order" is my pioneering achievement, a kid I'm ultimately very proud off despite all of its many faults - length being the major one, and there are some style and language issues I'll deal with as I'm growing up to become a real boy. ;) It still contains a lot of ideas that I think are worth something and some poignant moments that even left me crying, because it was a journey writing this text and I wasn't always sure about the details and where the narrative would take me. And the devil is in the details, so there's lots to it, I think. I picked the title because by the end of Episode IX, the new order will be established in the galaxy far, far away: only not in the way Kylo Ren wants it to.

You Will Be Mine by melchan35 reviews
After Kylo Ren and Rey's battle in the forest, Kylo managed to knock Rey out and take her captive again after evacuating the First Order planet base. A few days pass by and Rey finds herself cuffed to a wall as Kylo Ren's prisoner. What kind of interrogation does Kylo plan on giving Rey this time? (KYLO REN X REY) (REYLO)!

Novelized Scenes from The Last Jedi (fanfic, unofficial) by grape-2010 reviews
I've "translated" some of the scenes from The Last Jedi into novel format, heavy on the Reylo angst. Originally I just planned to do the scene in the throne room, but I kept writing. I wanted to put them in one place, so I've moved them all here instead of publishing them as individual stories. I won't do the whole movie, but I'll do my favorite bits.

Kylo has been spending days now to persuade Rey - newly his prisoner - to give into him when General Hux attempts to take Rey first. By force. Kylo is able to stop him, but now he is faced with a completely shattered Rey... and then this story took over me and now we're headed into a political drama. Smut still planned!

On Empire Day, they disembark on Coruscant with a diversion plot on their minds. However, Rey is being connected through Force to Kylo Ren and is again faced with the same decision: leave him to the fate he chose, or try saving him once more?

Game of Stars, Throne of Wars
I wrote this in one single breath and had to grin. Promise to gods both old and new - didn't plagiarize it. After Bran's failed attempt to warg opens a wormhole, Jon ends with Rhaegal in a galaxy far away. Kylo helps Jon get back to Westeros on time to fight the Night King. In turn, this act of kindness redeems him just a little in Rey's eyes. Post-TLJ and post-7th season of GoT.

The Tree of Life
The follow-up of my previous story. Rey and Ben now live on Ahch-to. Rey is pregnant with their twins. She has a lingering fear she might somehow lose Ben or the children - or all of them. He casts away those fears beautifully. There is one F bomb and mildly mature content.
