    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.)

    Summary

    "How can you be so sure of what I'm meant for?"

    Padmé turned, river-swift, her mouth fixed in a firm line. "Because, Ben, there's always a choice. Always."

    * * *


    Something is blocking the ghost of Anakin Skywalker from reaching out to his grandson, but he refuses to stop trying. Kylo Ren thought himself beyond saving, but he's visited by two people who think differently: the man he'd murdered just hours ago—Ben had called him "Father", but Ben was dead—and a woman with flowers in her hair and sorrow in her eyes.

    Rey remembers nothing of her life before Jakku, but she's been dreaming of a place that feels like home. As she gets to know Luke, her strange, grief-laden new master who stays up all night to talk to ghosts, she realises that she already knows him—and that she's met the monster he calls "Ben" before.

    A post-TFA story of redemption, healing, coming home, and of two lonely people finding a place to belong.

    Summary

    Rey backs into him, her backside colliding with his chest, and she whirls around in shock to face him. Her mouth instantly opens to explain her presence in his quarters, but words are quickly escaping her. 

    She can't see his eyes behind the mask, but she can feel them narrow at her. "I guess it's time to get new security," he says passively, his faux tone of boredom evident even through the electronic cloak. "Since they clearly can't do their job." 

    TL;DR: the inappropriately-timed smut that no one asked for.

    Summary

    “Thanks, Ben. I needed this.”

    He’s not sure whether she’s talking about the tree, or the hug.

    But maybe he’s needed this, too.

    When Rey spends winter break at her friend's apartment, it only takes five days for everything to change.
