Blood and Gold

Blood and Gold is a 2018 work of canon New Republic erotic fiction written by Kooriv. It features an encounter between an unidentified Supreme Hand and the Supreme Leader of the First Order prior to the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. It was released on November 7, 2018.

Development and release
According to the story's author, Kooriv, the concept was conceived during the lead-up to the release of Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, and was intended to serve as part of a project alongside his other stories "The Roots of Ahch-To" and "Flygirls". However, the draft was left half-finished until after the film's release, at which point he added extra details from the film and its related material, and endeavored to tie the events into a planned larger story.

He notes that both main characters are left unnamed in the finished story, though suggests the Supreme Leader is "plainly Snoke". He refers to the allusions to Mara Jade Skywalker in the character of the unidentified Supreme Hand, which he wanted to gradually build up throughout the story. However, he leaves the question open as to whether the character is actually a canonical version of Jade, pointing to the likes of Arica already having been introduced into erotica canon, and suggests these mysteries will remain unanswered for now.

The story also references other material: the vornskrs are from, and assaulted Mara in Legends erotica; the Sylphe and their culture are drawn from a roleplaying scenario in the French magazine , and Kooriv notes that he was able to include a reference to them from at the last minute. Allusions are also made to Snoke's "ambiguous appearance" in "The Tragedy of Darth Vader the Strong".

The story was released to the Star Wars Erotica Forum and Kooriv's Fiction Archive on November 7, 2018.
