Summary:

Ten years after she vanished during an Imperial raid on a Twi'lek colony, Cham Syndulla sees his daughter Hera for the first time in a hologram -- now wearing the uniform of an Imperial agent and apparently working closely with a human Inquisitor. All Cham wants to do is to bring his long-missing child home to what remains of her family, but he soon finds that Hera Syndulla is only interested in two things: her duty to the Empire and her loyalty to her crew, a mismatched collection of outcasts brought together by Hera and her pet Inquisitor.

With Cham and the Rebel agent known as Fulcrum in pursuit, a new mission takes Hera and the crew of the Ghost to the planet Lothal, where a chance meeting with a Force-sensitive teenager awakens something long buried in the Inquisitor once known as Kanan Jarrus...and has dire consequences for Hera, their crew, the Empire, and the fledgling Rebel Alliance.

Hera waited to unstrap her cap until they were inside the Ghost, Kanan reaching out to wave a hand in the direction of the control panel and close the ramp up behind them. There were dents in her skin around her jaw where the strap had dug in; she wasn’t used to wearing it this long. Hera pulled her goggles down around her neck and paused to pull her cap off all the way, fumbling the ends of her lekku out from the openings.

She let out a sigh of relief as the pressure on her skull eased, letting her cap dangle from one hand as she rubbed the other over her head, back to the base of her lekku. “I need,” she said, “a shower, a hot meal, and to sleep for a –”

“Hey, you’re back!”

Hera let out her breath, closing her eyes, “And to forget you kidnapped a child.”

“Kidnapped is such a strong word,” Kanan said.

“Yes, if you’d kidnapped him, we could give him back with one of those form letters the Academies use,” Hera said. She looked up at the landing outside the gunner’s bubble, where Sabine and Ezra were both hanging over the railing looking down at them.

Please excuse this off-topic comment, but could I ask if dreamwidth notifies you when you receive comments on older postings?

No worries! I don't want to be a pest (especially regarding older fic), but I do feel your Dust series is both wonderful and intriguing. Will you be finishing it still?
