    Summary

    'Every lover is a soldier. Love is a warfare.'

    I've changed this description a thousand times. None of them felt honest. I just wanted to read a story of broken people finding each other and dancing to good music in the middle of nowhere. I also wanted to figure out how to write about consuming love. The beginning isn't great, it slowly gets better. It's dramatic, extreme, a very unrealistic love story. But it is a love story. And there are a few lines that make me smile.

    (If you're back for a reread, might I interest you in a new story: If I Had a Boat - 2024)

    Summary

    In the end, she has to hand it to him— he'd always been an expert in taking her by surprise, and it would appear that he's chosen not to shake the habit even in death.

    "Rey Skywalker?" There's a vaguely sardonic twist to the corner of his mouth. "Does that make you my cousin now?"

    "It seemed like a fitting tribute," she says in wooden tones. Be it dream or vision, she might as well play along— draw this out until reality comes crashing back. Who knows when he'll come to her again as solid and as vibrant as this?

    "I see." Suddenly he's leaning into her, their faces so close together. "Tell me," he murmurs, his lips almost brushing against hers, "have you ever heard of the term kissing cousins?"

    She registers the smell of alcohol on his breath at the same time that his eyes flutter shut and he slumps face-down into her lap, snoring softly. You're alive, is all she can think at first, staring down at his head of lush black hair.

    Ben Solo is alive.

    Alive and very, very drunk.

After spending one night together just talking, neither can get the other out of their heads. But both of them have home lives that seem determined to keep them apart. Maybe the universe has a bigger plan ahead, especially when one of JJ's best friends ropes them all into a treasure hunt that may just be the girl's one-way ticket out of her current situation.
