    Summary

    “I would slap you if I didn’t think you’d enjoy it,” Daniel says.

    The words hang in the air and settle like dust around the ruins of the Dubai penthouse. It’s his first words as a vampire–as long as you don’t count the incoherent screaming, and muddled muttering of a mostly-drained journalist.

    “The worst of it is over now,” his maker assures.

    Summary

    “You’re wondering what part of the story we’re at,” Armand says, continuing to chart paths in the topography of Daniel’s legs. "Is this the part where I say it’s all a joke, and now that you’ve got me on my knees, I say it’s all just some prelude to sexual deviancy?…Is this the part where I kill you?”

    If the boy could feel his stomach, it’d be in knots.

    “No, Daniel. We’re not quite there yet."

    Summary

    He’s searching her eyes for clarity, for permission, for anything that will tell him what to do. But she’s still in a staring contest with her sauce and now they both feel a little lost.

    Summary

    Ellie doesn’t say a word. She doesn’t have to. The horrors of the day are written on her blood-speckled face, her body that’s been bruised black and blue, and the hair falling from its tie that she still hasn’t fixed. She is silent, unseeing, ambivalent. She is all the things that Ellie isn’t.

    Summary

    An alternate ending of The Rise of Skywalker, where Ben's final act does not cost him his life, but may cost him something else. My take on a happier and more hopeful ending to Rey's story, and his.
