    Summary

    "Rey couldn’t begin to imagine trusting someone so much, but she burned to try."
    --
    Finn swore up and down that this would be the easiest money Rey ever made, that temping as a server for the ritzy event was a couple hours of work for more than enough pay, and studio apartments on Rey's side of town aren't cheap. What she finds is far more than she could've ever imagined, however. Drawn into the glitz and the glamor of the Skywalker mansion, Rey witnesses an event like nothing she's ever seen before. Now, simply watching isn't enough. Something inside of her has been awakened, and she's in need of someone to show her just how to belong in a world she's desperate to be a part of.

    Summary

    “What’s the worst that could happen?” Peter asks.

    “Do you actually want me to answer, because I can think of at least five things,” Ned asks.

    “It’s just sex,” Peter replies, “just a physical thing. No strings. It’ll be fine.”

    “Yeah, because you and MJ are completely normal people who have a totally chill history and haven’t spent two years avoiding each other. It’s not like you moped around for months after - ”

    “We’re just - it’s not a relationship, Ned. It’s - it’s convenient. And easy. That’s all.”

    “Famous last words.”

    Summary

    After returning from Exegol, Ben and Rey realize that he isn’t exactly welcomed by the Resistance in spite of his turn for the light and what he nearly sacrificed for her. Together, they decide it’s best to keep their relationship a secret, opting to sneak around the base behind everyone’s backs and steal every fleeting touch, every half-second kiss, that they possibly can.

    Summary

    It’s the song that does it. The stupid song about the wrong MJ.

    Overnight Michelle’s email is flooded with messages from fans demanding to know if she’s the MJ that the The Mary Janes wrote the song about. She’s not. She was four years behind Gwen Stacy at Midtown Tech and as far as she knows they never crossed paths. Besides, why would a senior have a secret unrequited crush on a freshman? Wouldn’t it be the other way around? It’s probably just a publicity stunt to get The Gays(TM) to listen to their dumb band. It’s fake and she doesn’t need a half hour time slot on her true conspiracy podcast to prove it.

    She just wishes she wasn’t caught in the crossfire. She wishes the yearning ache of that song hadn’t made her think, made her wonder what she was missing out on. She wishes it hadn’t made her realize that marrying her high school sweetheart and settling for a life of more of the same was a mistake.

    OR: The one where Michelle makes some hard choices that lead to her moving to a house in the country where she meets Gwen, her insufferable neighbor.

    Summary

    “It wouldn’t be a real marriage, obviously,” Ben clarifies, as though that’s an important point that might not have occurred to her. “Though we’d have to live together, obviously. And I’m sure there are a lot of other things we’ll have to do to convince people.”

    ---------------------

    (Or: Rey is nearing the end of her temporary work Visa. Her friend Ben offers to marry her so she can stay in the U.S. She says yes.)
