Summary
"Are you coming, Rey?" Finn appears at her side, clutching a blanket over his bent shoulders. "It's getting cold."
The fire is still warm though. Rey feels its blaze on her face, her chest, her thighs. It's almost - almost - like a caress.
"In a minute," she says hollowly.
Finn nods, touches her elbow.
"Right, of course," she might be imagining it, but she thinks even Finn is blinking away tears as his eyes flit across the flames. "Do you want me to..."
"I think I'd like to be alone for a bit."
He nods again, shrugs off the blanket and slings it across her shoulders. There's a part of her that will never be warm again, but that part isn't flesh and blood but something deeper still, so she is grateful to her friend as she snuggles into the borrowed warmth.
"Thank you."
"Always," he touches her arm again, turns to leave. "Take as long as you need, Rey."
And with that, the woman who once was the Last Jedi turns back to the funeral pyre and remembers... flames.OR
A glimpse at Ben and Rey's life after Exegol. All of it - the beginning, the middle, and the sweet sweet end.
