    or, A Fraught Correspondence Between Two Young People (& Its Fortunate Conclusion)

    I have no desire to marry, let alone propose by letter to a young miss I have never met. I vastly prefer the company of horses and hounds to the unenviable fate of being saddled with a wife and hounded by the very same.

    The Duchess of Alderaan and the Earl of Stewjon hope to encourage a match between their only children. Though Mr. Benjamin Solo and Miss Rey Kenobi have no interest in the martial schemes of their beloved relatives, they do have a pressing need to correct one another—at great length.

    But as prideful scorn shifts into unexpected friendship, are Rey’s witty insults becoming less acerbic and more flirtatious? Was Mr. Solo’s decision to enclose a certain pamphlet really the act of a gentleman? And most importantly: would marriage to each other really be such an unenviable fate … or might it be a love match after all?

    Summary

    I found this datapad in a wreck on Jakku. It doesn't do anything except message you, so it's probably not worth many portions.
    I think that was rude. Sorry. What's your name?

    A pair of old datapads links a desert scavenger to a New Republic senator. Friendship—and maybe more—blooms across the light years between them.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t have to be like this!” she shouted, valiant until the bitter end. “You’re already physically on our side, Malfoy. Just think about how much we could accomplish if you defected and fought with us.”

    His face twisted with incredulous outrage as she tried once again to persuade him. “You stupid, relentless little mudblood—”

    Summary

    ca·ma·ra·de·rie
    /käm(ə)ˈradərē,ˌkam(ə)ˈrädərē/

    noun:
    mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

    Camaraderie comes from French camarade, which is also the source of English's comrade, meaning "friend or associate." Camarade means "roommate," "companion," or "a group sleeping in one room."

    Roommates Ben and Rey spend a lot of time arguing. Then they spend some more together in bed.
