    Summary

    “Who are you?” The man carrying the newspaper asked her, scrunching up his brow. He looked her up and down, completely befuddled. One by one, the other man, the doctor, and the stormy woman turned to look at her. They wore almost identical expressions of confusion. Rey blinked, speechlessly. The appropriate answer was "a waitress", or "a stranger," or even "a crazy, perpetually single woman who’s been hopelessly, inexplicably in love with your comatose son for weeks."

    Behind her, the nurse huffed, cocking her hip. As if it was obvious, she said, “She’s his fiancée.”

    Summary

    They run together, wedged into an escape pod no larger than a coffin. They stay together, shrinking the space they allow themselves until the borders of their bodies begin to blur. They keep running, hiding in the stolen hours of lightspeed. Until they're found by the Resistance and time catches up with them...

    Summary

    “We need to go, okay? You can do it. Let’s go.”

    “I can’t,” he responds numbly as she encourages his legs to take step after limping step. “I’m dying.”

    “No, Ben. You’re not.” It sounds more like she’s denying him some opportunity than reassuring him, like she won’t let him die, like her outright refusal can stop the inevitable. 

    To her credit, it seems to be working.

    Ben Solo survives Exegol and flees with Rey. Surviving hadn't been part of the plan - but, then again, there hadn't been much of a 'plan' to begin with. What awaits him, then, once the dust of battle has settled, on the other side of the war?

    The Force is determined to make the galaxy whole again, however unlikely the means. Forging a bond between the dark and the light is one thing, but finding a path to trust, balance and a shared future is a lot more difficult.

    Summary

    Ben Solo is best left alone. Or, at least that's what he's told himself for the last six years. Up until eight months ago he thought he'd convinced himself before Rey Niima suddenly needed a place to stay and he found himself with a roommate. It's not that there's anything wrong with Rey—he's known her for years—it's only that when she's in the room he can't seem to look away. But when Rey breaks up with her boyfriend and rushes home, only to find Ben filming content for his OnlyFans things get a little more complicated.

    This fic is a dual POV friends to lovers romance with two dumb dumbs healing together.
