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.

Summary
“I couldn’t love him back. Not the way he wanted. Not the way I love you.”
Her heart is as powerful and frantic as Drogon’s wings when he takes flight. She thinks the fear might consume her whole.
“Is that all right?” she asks softly. She nearly trembles.
And for a moment, the world is warm, small, safe. Jon has her in his arms, his body pouring into hers, his lips on her lips, his love a vast fire— and Dany, the Unburnt. She lets him burn her alive, delighting in the heat of his palms, the burn of his beard against her skin.
When it stops— when he pulls back— it’s sharper than ice.

Summary
If Vice-Admiral Holdo had rammed the Raddus into Snoke’s flagship five minutes sooner, before Rey had a chance to reject Kylo Ren's offer...
The Force is determined to make the galaxy whole again, however unlikely the means. Forging a bond between the dark and the light is one thing, but finding a path to trust, balance and a shared future is a lot more difficult.
~~~ OR ~~~
The way TRoS should have gone.

Summary
After the wars are over and Spring has returned, Westeros is at peace but much has been lost. When Shireen asks Arya to petition the crown and become the new Lady Paramount of Storm's End, it means giving up Winterfell. But the North holds painful memories, and nothing seems the same. The Stormlands may just hold the key for lasting peace in the realm... and in Arya's heart.
