Summary
And so, the body. An exercise in compartmentalisation, in camouflaging reality.
And yet a moment later, the moonlight would shift and pool liquid over the contours, fabric rustling in breeze-kissed transience, settling into an almost-breathing mouth, and it could be nothing but a body.
It disconcerted her. How easily a life could slip from something to nothing, and back again.

Or: Mon Mothma, and the final loss of innocence.

Summary
He swirled his vice and watched nectarine flickers flash sinuous through it, the way one would tilt a weapon and imagine the lick of the blade. Took a swig, relished the honeyed sting as it grazed down his esophagus like fingertips on skin.

With a final gulp, he drained it.
“Tay,” he said. “Are you fucking my wife?”or

Summary
And he was right, Phoenix realised.
Is it possible to have always known something without ever really stopping to think about it? To have the rules of a relationship governed by a quiet, unspoken understanding? One forged in years of waiting, of airport departures and airport reunions, of blood-spattered conversations and hard-won forgiveness. With every outstretched hand, it had tripped and fallen, almost in spite of itself, towards this conclusion.
Nice epiphany, he thought. I should do this more often…

Or: Phoenix and Miles find honesty in the glow of a sunset, and realise there’s not much they need to discuss after all.

“What’s it like, working?” Caroline asked the first time they met, and Gerri waited an excruciating moment for some additional clause—with my husband, at Waystar—before she realized that Caroline had already posed the question in its entirety.

Summary
There’s a little smear of blood on her hands. Literal blood on her literal hands. He’d make something of that if he saw, she thinks, running the water until it gets hot then lathering her hands. Lady Macbeth, getting your little fucking screwdriver in. He thinks she’s a ruthless person, a bitch, which she is. She looks at herself in the mirror as the water scalds her hands. Underneath the layers of foundation and lipstick, she looks old. Her face wan, her hair escaping its bun.
After watching Logan slap Roman, Gerri struggles with conflicting loyalties.

Summary
Shocking, Lana thinks, how easy it is to slide back into old habits. Like slipping on a worn pair of shoes so comfortable you overlook the scuffed soles and worn tread. A sweater so cozy you don’t mind that it has a hole.

Summary
When the Rebellion extracts Mon from Coruscant in 2 BBY, they leave her family behind. As the ISB interrogations grow more pointed, Perrin realizes that if anyone is going to get his daughter out of Coruscant, it's going to have to be him.
The only cards he has to play are his anger, his fear, and a lifelong reputation for mediocrity. He's gambled on worse hands, but never with such high stakes.
