I can't find a story from years back. Worse, I had it on notifications on fanfiction dot net and when I couldn't find it, I went through all my fav and followed authors and stories and it's not there. So it is possible that the Author removed it or all stories from fanfiction. There is a chance that the same story is still in other places but without remembering its title and/or Author it doesn't work.

What I remember is misty.

Rey goes back in time to before or around Naboo invasion not by using time machine but by the Force's intervention and in whole, that is her as a person and not as transplanted mind in another body. Jedi notice the disturbance and investigate. They accept her with extreme caution. Then somehow she says she is a grandkid of a corrupt senator Palpatine and journalists publish it everywhere. The not-to-be Emperor has no idea what's going on and insists he doesn't know her, so it is before he ordered his clone/her father. But his whole life explodes as journalists and Jedi investigate and his many crimes appear in news. Then Rey meets Maul who at this point isn't yet a die-hard Sith and first they go to bad parts of the planet to fight against bad guys and then start a romantic relationship. Jedi aren't happy because he is still dark but can't stop 2 adults. She has some interactions with Obi-Wan but not with Anakin? I don't remember if she becomes a full Jedi or a part-time Jedi associate.

Anything similar to my missing story?

I mostly need another perspective, I think.

A group of around 12 adults who know each other and meet once or twice every year. We exchange text messages but calls are very rare. We go way back before covid. Adult jobs, families, so no meetings every week, because busy schedules. Around September 2024 a person got slightly closer than before - to the whole group. You know the type. Tells jokes, takes part in every conversation, if there are options to go to a restaurant or a museum, he pushes others to do what suits him. The trouble is some of his jokes are only about adult relationships. And I never talk s3x, politics and religion with this group. Mostly because even in Europe such causes serious troubles. Familes quarrel, relationships get damaged, people insult each others. It's better here than in the USA but still it's not a good idea.

Around March 2025 he decided that my views mean I am prude. Someone said "no, she's not, she just doesn't talk this, because we all have relatives who don't know us after discussing politics" It should be enough but it wasn't. More jokes, more telling me and others that I should loosen up and joke once in a while, no quarrels on my part. I skipped a meeting because this becomes less and less like the group I was a part of and turns into a stage for his performance with him telling us what we think. This Monday we sat together and he had a paper bag, which he pushed at me as a gift. Inside was a [artificial organ that actors use in adult movies, new in a box] which from my POV was disgusting. I refused, the whole group called me prude, spoilsport and similar. Also there is no need to behave like a preschooler, because we are adults. Some faces weren't happy and they almost went with it in order to not become another victim, but all went with it. Not 1 person decided enough was enough.

Actually I didn't escalate. They (as a group) pushed the bag at me again, I took it to the nearest trash and left it there, then went home. No crying, no calling them names, just "ok, bye" and that's it. I got some calls and messages which I deleted. It could be them blaming me, or doing some type of apology. At this point I don't care.

I don't want to meet this person. But should I also avoid the whole group? I'm too old for this type of mean-kids-in-high-school games all bullying one person so the group doesn't attack another. There is no professional interaction, no work-relationships at all. I can just leave all of them and block phones and emails. None of them is a very, very, very distant relative who will spread gossip to my family.

Should I block all of them or should I meet them one more time and see what was their reasons to gang on me? I'm almost sure there is no point, but for 8-10 years of acquaintance, maybe one final conversation is fair?

Do you remember a short story online with a drunk Jane?

I've tried but "drunk" search gives way too many results with different drunk characters, not only her.

She visits Gardiners when Bingleys run off to London. Gardiners want to cheer her up, take her to some lady who loves parties and a very strong punch, so Jane drinks too much as she knows only the Meryton weak version. Then they all go to theatre and collide with Bingleys and maybe his next angel. Jane tells them what honest people think about such low born low lifes and some lord notices her, they marry around 1 month later. Jane swears off strong drinks as she can't deal with them.

I think this is [mostly] the whole story without twists I don't remember. Anything similar?
