On a cliff by the sea

Summary:

"Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind' - Nathaniel Hawthorne
An introspective musing set at the film's end

Notes:

Saw the film today, interested to see where they go with it. Feels like forever since I wrote anything so here is something short in a new fandom...

Work Text:

As he stands on the cliff top Luke can feel her coming, like a lodestone pulling in his chest. Her descent is a star falling through the upper atmosphere, the Force singing her approach. He wonders if this is how Ben had felt, if Luke had shone like a fire in the desert, if it had been warming or burning through to the heart of him. If he had sensed, as Luke now did, the eager searching of a novice mind for its first teacher.

Luke stifled a twitch in his unfleshed hand and thought on fathers, and their failings.
