Author's commentary
"Here's a quick one inspired by the Star Wars Rebels TV show&mdash;specifically, a short called which ends on a flirty note between Kanan and Hera. I wanted to give their relationship a little nudge into erotica. This is my second story set in Disney's 'new canon', following 'Rey's Awakening'&mdash;although to my mind, this new canon isn't a replacement for the Expanded Universe, just an alternate branch. I've still got a few OT and EU fics in progress. Feedback is appreciated!"
