STAND TOGETHER - DIE ALONE

Ben Solo & Brea Rhir

Ben met Brea while under Snoke on the planet of Marat V. She was not full blooded S’kytri as she does not have a light green skin, but she retains many human characteristics, except her horns and the wings that she is able ot use to fight. They met at a Cantina where Brea did not know who he was or that he was part of the First Order. She hit on him as a bet with her friends, to try to unnerve him, as he was one of the few fully humans there. They ended up really enjoying each other’s company instead and fell into bed together. 

Rey had stuck around the Resistance base for as long as she could. She’d pretended that she was fine, and in some ways she was. The First Order was finished, the Republic was coming back, her friends had survived, she knew her parents, knew that they saved her because they loved her. She’d become a Jedi and the Sith were no more. She was surrounded by the people that loved her, Finn at her side every day as they trained. By all accounts she should be the happiest she’s ever been in her life. 

But she was alone.

So alone it turned her insides to ice whenever she thought about it. 

She’d lost Ben, and everything after that, every victory every little bit of what should have been happiness meant nothing.

She needed to leave. So she said goodbye to Finn, Poe, Chewie and BB-8, and she packed up D-O and got on the Falcon.

‘W-where are we g-going?’ the Droid asked.

“I dunno,” she answered. She was following a feeling. The Force was pulling her to a planet she didn’t know until she reached it.

Tatooine. 

She set the craft down next to a farmhouse, one that had been abandoned for a very long time. She pulled up the information on her datapad. The place had belonged to a couple and their nephew, Luke Skywalker. She’d been brought here because it had been where he grew up. Where his legend started. 

Rey cleaned up the homestead and started working on the moisture containers and her lightsaber to pass the time. She’d managed to get everything online after a few curses and slams with a wrench she’d found.

‘S-staying?’ D-O asked after a few days passed. After she buried Luke and Leia’s sabers in the sand.

“For a little while,” she answered. At his question of ‘why’, she simply answered. “I feel like I’m supposed to wait for someone here..” 

More days passed, and Rey was walking back from where she’d parked her new speeder, carefully setting D-O down after she unhooked him from the housing she’d rigged up on the side of it. She froze when she saw someone standing near their home. “Oi! Get away from there!” she shouted as she stomped over to him, his frame becoming larger the closer she got. 

𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋 . This  truly  was  the  furthest  place  from  the  center  of  the  galaxy  ,  as  his  Uncle  had  described  it  .  In  all  of  his  travels  around  the  galaxy  ,  Tatooine  had  not  been  one  of  them  .  He  hadn’t  been  fond  of  Jakku  ,  but  this  was  uncomfortable  and  filled  with  the  beginnings  of  his  family’s  history  .  He  wondered  briefly  if  Shmi  Skywalker  was  buried  anywhere  he  may  have  access  to  .  He  hadn’t  asked  his  grandfather  about  coming  back  here  -  no  -  the  skywalker  ,  even  as  part  of  the  force  -  would  never  dare  return  .  Ben  did  not  blame  him  .  He  wasn’t  sure  he  would  ever  attempt  to  return  to  other  regions  as  well  ,  the  past  too  painful  to  manage  .

  He  was  being  yelled  at  ,  and  he  would  recognize  the  voice  anywhere  -  the  way  she  screamed  at  him  was  all  too  familiar  .  He  watched  her  stomp  across  the  sand  to  him  ,  and  he  wondered  if  she  would  continue  to  yell  at  him  ,  looking  as  disheveled  as  he  felt  .  The  force  was  strong  with  her  still  ,  and  he  felt  a  sense  of  peace  as  she  approached  .  

❝  Your  home  ?  You’ve  made  yourself  comfortable  -  it  seems  in  all  aspects  of  my  life  ,  ❞  he  joked  .  It  still  stung  a  little  -  she  was  living  and  he  was  living  ,  in  a  different  way  .  He  knew  there  would  be  no  real  contact  between  them  ,  just  the  pressure  of  what  a  force  ghost  could  leave  against  the  other’s  force  energy  .  Ben  leaned  against  the  entrance  to  the  small  home  ,  his  family  legacy  ,  as  she  watched  Rey  approach  closer  .  He  decided  that  he  was  right  in  what  he  did  ,  he  knew  it  would  lead  him  to  death  ,  but  she  was  alive  and  looked  healthy  .  Much  healthier  than  when  he  first  saw  her  on  Takodana.  

𝐇𝐄  𝐇𝐀𝐃  𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐍  𝐇𝐈𝐒  𝐎𝐖𝐍  𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇  ,  in  the  force  ,  in  the  eyes  of  the  woman  he  held  his  compassion  for  .  This  child  was  strong  with  the  force  ,  but  she  was  not  capable  of  killing  him  .  He  could  sense  that  her  emotions  were  strong  .  ❝  Your  Masters  teach  you  that  Fear  leads  to  HATE  and  that  leads  to  the  Dark side  ,  be  careful  where  those  emotions  lead  you  .    ❞  he  suggested  .  There  was  no  use  fighting  a  child  to  him  .  She  was  not  what  he  wanted  .  

Ben doesn’t understand what it truly means to be a Dyad in the force until after Exegol . He doesn’t feel good or bad about it , because while he doesn’t trust in the Jedi Order or even the Sith now , he does trust in the force . He believes in it and that it does whatever it deems necessary like in nature . Something about he and Rey needs to be one in order for the force to feel balanced . 

Kylo Ren dislikes the idea at first , because he sees it as a weakness , after Brea , anything with attachment means weakness , despite the Sith Code allowing for it . However , knowing more about it and that they are both equally as powerful and have great potential together , he sees it as a way to create a uniform and whole galaxy . That’s partially one of the reasons why he is so insistent on Rey joining him . He knows that his fate will always be intertwined and he comes to accept that , especially after the Oracle on Exegol . 

             damn it all! zorii should have known better than to help dameron. he always got her into NOTHING but trouble. and there she sat, cuffs behind her back and helmet on the table as she waited to meet this so-called “Kylo Ren.”. she’d heard all kinds of things about him, none of them good. she’d been in this kind of situation before though; so, she knew exactly what to do. when the door opens, zorii whips her head towards the figure coming in, blowing her hair out of her face so her dark eyes could focus on him. 

          “ nice get-up. you gonna let me go now? ” @soloturned·

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐔𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐋 , but  he  was  already  tired  of  her  smart  mouth  .  Kylo  didn’t  get  the  sick  and  twisted  pleasure  some  did  from  torture  or  probing  the  inner  mind  ,  but  he  needed  to  find  Rey  and  quick  .  They  had  picked  her  up  before  Hux  got  it  in  his  head  to  blow  up  their  disgusting  planet  filled  with  thieves  and  rebels  .  ❝  Must  we  have  pleasantries  -  this  would  be  a  lot  quicker  for  both  of  us  ,  if  you  just  give  me  what  I  need  .  ❞  he  moved  closer  to  the  prisoner  ,  feeling  for  her  force  energy  .  he  felt  for  the  weakness  in  her  mind  ,  not  causing  any  pain  just  yet  .  

“Of course, I will watch over Leia, as long as you promise to take care of yourself, don’t aspire to be your uncle or your grandfather, be yourself.” Opening her arms, she would miss her only grandson.”

“Now, give me a hug.”

𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐖 𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐒,  ben would miss her dearly . her kindness to him . and he promised himself that he would become a good Jedi , for himself , for her . He’d prove that the skywalker blood could stay good . He wouldn’t be so easily swayed . 

             get in, save the prisoners, and get the hell out. their escape ship was standing by, but they’d run into a bit of a snag. endor was still fresh enough that the remains of the empire was still fighting back. but the rebellion had almost won, and leia wasn’t willing to leave anyone behind, wasn’t willing to give the empire anyone else. last stretch, and most of the escapees were behind her, but she saw one wandering. she grabbed his arm, ‘ this way! ‘ as she dragged him toward the hanger. ‘ you fit to use a blaster? ‘

@soloturned·

𝐁𝐄𝐍  𝐖𝐀𝐒  𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒  ,  he  followed  without  thought  ,  as  he  was  dragged  by  someone  who  looked  awfully  like  his  mother  .  He  could  recognize  her  stern  face  anywhere  ,  young  or  aged  .  Yet  ,  she  was  young  ,  beautiful  and  filled  with  rage  .  It  took  him  a  moment  to  answer  ,  fear  welling  up  inside  him  as  he  realized  that  they  were  being  targeted  .❝  Yeah  ,  I’m  fit  to  use  a  blaster  ,  ❞  he  told  her  .  Hand  reaching  for  his  waist  where  his  Uncle  Lando’s  blaster  should  have  been  ,  but  it  was  no  where  to  be  found  .  He  had  nothing  on  him  ,  but  his  tunic  and  pants  .  His  lightsaber  had  been  thrown  to  the  bottom  of  the  sea  and  his  grandfather’s  lightsaber  was  in  his  rey’s  hand  .  Was  this  where  he  went  ,  falling  deep  into  the  fissure  of  exegol  .  

The sound of slapping wind still echoed in his ears, the engine beneath him a familiar roar. Poe had been a pilot all his life, from the skies of Yavin IV with his mother in the copilot seat, he’d been in the air. It had come as easy as breathing, the shifting of gears, and the pressing of controls, the way velocity elated his stomach and made his veins sing.  He’d been showing off, he always did, especially when accompanied by those he wanted to impress. As the landing gear made peace with the earth Poe climbed out of his X-Wing and joined the small crew of men. 

Adrenaline still pounded through him, leaving his steps light as he walked through the mud and earth. A rough slap on his back and a voice that became more and more familiar each day came from behind him. It was only a moment before he was staring at Ben Solo’s back as they walked. His words pulled a grin to Poe’s face and he let out a small chuckle. 

“What–You wanted me to crash?” He asks, feet picking up to bring him to the young man’s side. “Bet you woulda loved that.” 

𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐓 𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐔𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍,  but  he  didn’t  want  him  to  crash  -  just  for  his  mother  to  stop  breathing  in  Poe’s  direction  every  chance  she  got  to  praise  him  .  The  nerfhearder  ate  it  up  .  ❝  I  would  -  but  who  would  keep  up  with  me  then  ?  I  like  a  challenge  ,  ❞  he  shot  back  at  Dameron  .  They  seemed  to  always  be  sent  out  together  ,  if  Leia  wanted  Poe  to  rub  off  on  him  or  she  didn’t  trust  anyone  else  to  have  Poe’s  back  ,  Ben  didn’t  know  .  

Hey babes - so my rules have been updated. along with my verses, alternate universes, and canon. My canon TROS, because this Kylo/Ben is canon divergent. I’ve updated my mains as well as his relationships, the main important ones as of right now to me. This may change in the future.
