    Summary

    “What do you think?” Luke asks his nephew. “She has potential.”

    “She bit me, Master,” is Ben’s stiff response. “Any opinion I give would be biased.”

    Or: Everyone is connected, even if, sometimes, it's just by the skin of our teeth. Even in the midst of darkness, still, luminous beings are we.

    Summary

    "When she looks back, it is the dreams that are effortless to grasp. Year 0; the beginning of history. They are where something solid first takes shape in her mind, dizzy and opaque.

    Always there is a boy, dark eyed and dark haired, his face pinched, solemn. There are creatures with strange shapes and skin, speaking strange languages. There are swords made out of light, and rusting metal ships moving through space in an endless sea of stars."

    ☽ ☼ ☾

    Alternatively: Rey grows up in foster care in the deserts of California, and she dreams about a strange dark-haired boy with a lightsaber in a galaxy far, far away. This is a journey through space and time and memory. It is about the choices we make and the dreams we weave. But above all, it is about love. It is always about love.

    Summary

    "I can listen no longer in silence."

    The hologram projection of his strangely handsome face is cobalt blue, flickering, and full of static. "I must speak to you, Rey. You… you pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me that I am not too late.” He groans, runs his hands through his dark, silver-streaked hair, then refocuses his gaze on the holorecorder. “I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Do not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death."

    Here the recording of Ben takes a deep breath, and looks down at something outside the holorecorder’s field of view. Perhaps at his hands, Rey manages to think, through the veil of shock and timid, fluttering hope. She wishes she were there with him, so she could take them in her own, and offer him the confidence to carry on.

    But this is only a hologram, so she must wait. Eventually, when he looks up again, his features have settled. He looks… Fierce. Determined. Self-assured.

    "I have loved none but you," he says.
