Title: By the Skin of Her Teeth
Rating: G
Pairing/Characters: Rey & Kylo Ren
Critical Tags: Canon Universe, Canon Compliant
Summary: It's a simple job. Get in. Get out. Get gone before the Order knows she's been there.
Excerpt:

Minutes ticked by on Rey's chrono. It was taking too long. Transport to the comms station had been clocked at sixteen minutes. Rey was approaching eighteen. The nagging sensation of wrongness thrummed with every check of the chrono. Eighteen point three five.

Rey didn't wait for the speeder to decelerate all the way, jumping and rolling from the craft to absorb the shock along her back rather than her side. Her auto-pilot would finish the decel. She had two point six eight minutes to make up.

A few wires cut loose from a security panel on the maintenance entrance granted her access to the comms building. Her chrono buzzed softly to let her know it had just hit twenty minutes. Late, late, late.

Title: Split Up, Brought Together
Rating: T
Pairing/Characters: Azula & F!Zuko
Critical Tags: Rule 63, Character Study
Summary: After the events in the catacombs under the Earth Kingdom palace, Zuko struggles to rectify the situation with what Azula swears will happen once they return to the Fire Nation.
Excerpt:

“You said this would be worth it?” Zuko asked.

She wanted to believe it. She has been fighting to trust her decision down in the catacombs of the palace. Gazing at the ocean and knowing their bow will soon be pointed directly for the heart of the Fire Nation once more, Zuko gripped the railing ahead of her.

Azula’s face twisted in a way the two never shared before - a smile. “Of course it will be, sister,” she insisted. “Father will be honored by what you’ve done here.”
