    Summary

    After Crait, Rey retreats to Jakku to grapple with her past... and her unwelcome attraction to Kylo Ren.

    --

    Kylo Ren was a monster. A murderer. So why couldn’t she stop thinking about him?

    Rey was already a bad Jedi, so in the dark of the AT-AT that had sheltered her during her vulnerable years, she gave in to the allure of the fantasy. Kylo Ren’s tall frame and big hands, his dark hair and hungry eyes. His desperation as he’d said “Please.” The sheer size of him, combined with the peek at his vulnerabilities she’d gotten from this strange, antagonistic Force bond.

    As if she’d summoned him, his consciousness brushed against her own, dark and tempting.

    You hate me, he said in her mind.

    There wasn’t a word to encompass how she felt about him. Yes, she agreed, ignoring the twinge of guilt.

    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

    There is no personal tag on the bag. Apparently, like Ben, its owner was foolish enough to travel without one. But the LaGuardia sticker is still wrapped around the handle, and Ben curses himself for his stupidity. He should have checked the name before he left the airport.

    Rey Kenobi.

    There’s no address and no phone number. Just the very unhelpful barcode slashed across the sticker along with the flight information. Rey was flying from Seattle to New York. The same flight he was on. The same terminal, the same luggage conveyor. The same goddamn suitcase.

    Summary

    After Crait, Kylo Ren is a broken man: lonely, depressed, furious. Any dream of human connection died when Rey left him.

    He's used to being alone, though. No one has ever wanted him. No one has ever chosen him. Some monsters are destined for darkness.

    But one day, the Force bond flickers back to life, and Kylo is confronted with the most terrifying emotion of all:

    Hope.
