She can't escape his orbit, and he can't escape hers. (Or, Allana Djo Solo and Darth Festus spend ten years trying to kill each other and/or falling in love, maybe.) Allana/OC, AU, 43-61 ABY.

Notes: My next event is the 110 Word Hurdle (110 words in which the names of your couple aren't mentioned). This takes place shortly after WtWS and the previous ficlet, "We Ratify the Silence"; and the title comes from the song "Stupid Girl" by Cold.
