Summary
It’s a few years since Exegol and Ben Solo has found himself tracking down ex-First Order officers for the New Republic. The last person he expected to run into was Armitage Hux, former rival, former General, former pain in his ass. Not least because Hux was dead. Okay, so he’d never seen the body, but he clearly remembers signing off on the report of said death.
Does he bring him in and let the New Republic have their justice, or does he get drunk and reminisce. One thing is clear, he’s not felt this happy in years.

post TROS reunion that's gorgeously written and achingly sweet. Ben's voice is a revelation.
[excerpt]:
The cantina smells a little like wet fur, but there’s a sweetness there too. Not cloying, but fresh. Fragrant pine and woodsmoke and spiced meats. It’s not the unpleasant odour he usually associates with these places. Several patrons sit hunched over their tables, filling the air with the low buzz of conversation, but it’s not busy. They stop and stare as he enters, so he projects disinterest and they soon turn back to their drinks. He’s not in the mood for trouble. Isn’t sure why he came in at all. Why didn’t he head back to get food with his team? What is it about this place?He’s staring at the menu without seeing it, subtly reaching out with the Force to see if he can find a reason for his disquiet, when a bartender approaches.
“I was wondering how long it’d take you to find me.”
