it's been too long since i've sent something debilitatingly horny to you, so here:

edit: im sorry its so long and plot-y 😭 i've never written for poe and got too excited.

imagine being a first order commander in charge of coaxing information from poe dameron. the first batch of interrogators (a couple stormtroopers) couldn't get a thing out of him so you were called in as back up.

GIF by antagonistenthusiast

you've had a few interactions with poe (as you're both renowned pilots), but you've never actually seen his face. you've only communicated through radios -- well, communicated is a strong word, you've taunted and growled at each other from a distance...

needless to say, you were intrigued to finally meet this 'poe dameron' that you've been chasing around since you became a flight officer.

you're shocked when you see him, not because he's battered and barely conscious, but because he's prettier than you expected.

GIF by one-blog-to-whump-them-all

of course, he's fucking pretty. he's the resistance's flyboy, the general's favorite, complete with a cut jawline, pouty lips and perfect curls.

it enrages you.

long dark lashes frame half-lidded eyes as you approach him. his body is strapped tight to a chair, but he doesn't seem bothered by it. he's so unbothered, in fact, that he immediately greets you with one of his annoying quips:

"you the good cop?" you're sure it would've sounded better if his voice wasn't so hoarse and broken -- not that you didn't enjoy that sound. there's something about a ruined man that immediately sparks a flame inside of you.

"no, they were the good cops." you refer to the storm troopers that left him this way. "i'm the bad cop, and i like to do things a bit differently..."

you can see it on his face: he recognizes you, or your voice, but he doesn't know from where.

"can't fly away anymore, can you, dameron?"

it finally dawns on him, "you." he almost looks...happy about the revelation.

"yeah, me." his stare is intense and interested, and he's not trying to hide it at all.

cocky bastard.

"y'now i didn't expect such a bea--"

you roll your eyes, "ok, let's stop with all this chatter."

there's a piece of paper sticking out of the breast pocket of his leather jacket, folded several times to fit securely in the space.

"you got something for me?" you coo, voice sickly sweet all of the sudden.

you reach out, gliding your hand from his shoulder to his chest, feeling the smooth leather rise and lower under your fingers as he starts to breathe harder. he pushes against your touch like he's touch deprived, like he's been waiting for this moment all his life.

oh, he's easy.

you snicker as you pluck the paper out, taking a second to wag it tauntingly in front of his face.

"what're you...HEY! THAT'S MINE."

bingo

you open it up, satisfied by how fluidly this interrogation is going. once you deliver this to ren, you're sure to get a promotion.

when you see what's inside, you glower: it's just a worn photo of some BB-droid.

"really?" you give him an unimpressed look. "what, is this your pet or something?"

"he's my driod! my little buddy!"

"ok...so we'll do this the hard way."

---

it starts with pain, but it never seems to be enough. he's -- laughing! he's taunting you, groaning out "is that all you got" or whispering a hoarse "i could do this all day".

you realize you're methods will have to be a bit...unconventional to get your point across. you saw how he reacted to your touch, how he looks at you, even when you're punching him in the face.

you know what you need to do, you're just not sure that you could take it.

GIF by joker1315

you take the step -- blurring the line between pain and pleasure.

it's for the first order, you tell yourself, but you're enjoying it.

you're breathing almost as hard as he is -- you need it just as much as he does.

you've been edging him about an hour now. he whines when you slow your hand again, leaving him right at the brink of release. metal clangs and groans as he pulls against his restraints.

"please, please, please..."

"you know what i need." you squeeze him, not tightly, but just enough to drive him wild. "just one word -- the planet -- and i'll give it to you. i'll let you cum all over yourself."

"c-can't."

"can't? or won't?" you swipe your thumb over his leaking tip. he's literally pulsing in your hold.

"fuck!" he yells out a name, one you immediately memorize, desperate voice and all.

;dlfsl;dfgk oh oh oh ohhhhhhh my goddddddddddddd

no but like, the fact that poe was also kind of into the whole thing though?? him arching into your touch, shooting you heated glances even when you're torturing him, like he likes being at your mercy?????? please send help 🫠🫠🫠

(**WARNING: here there be smut and it could potentially be considered dub-con so read at your own risk**)

if you thought he was pretty before, it's nothing compared to how he looks when he comes--his jaw slack, head thrown back, baring his glorious neck (a neck you just wanna bite), his sweaty curls deliciously mussed, eyes closed in ecstasy as he makes a mess of himself and your hand.

heavenly, you think. the sight is heavenly.

unable to resist, you kiss him softly, so contradictory to the rough way you'd been handling him. he sighs, sagging against his restraints as he kisses you back, his breath fanning across your cheek. you tell him he's a good boy when you pull away and he whines, trying to follow your lips, his mouth gaping, pupils blown wide with lust. he's so drunk on you, on the pleasure you've given him, he'd probably give you whatever you wanted right now; the knowledge fills you with glee. you smile, running a hand down his chest before tucking him back in his trousers.

he comes back to himself when you move to leave, his eyes growing a little harder, jaw clenching as you tell him that you look forward to working with him again.

unfortunately, ren isn't around for you to give him the intel poe gave you, so you hold onto it, intent on telling him when he returns. that night though, you can't sleep, can't stop thinking about poe's breathy whines and whimpers and how pretty he looked begging you to let him come. it's all you can think about, the urge to go to him so strong. so you go, shooing the guards from his cell and going inside. he's asleep, still tied up but removed from the rack he'd been on earlier, bloodied and bruised and beautiful. you allow yourself a moment to study him, eyes tracing the curve of his jaw, of his brow, his nose.

then you take him in your hand, squeezing and stroking, his pretty little noises going straight to your core. you want him, you realize, want to claim him, want to make him yours. the urge is so strong it makes you a little angry--that he could have so much power over you in this state is...well, it's unacceptable.

maybe you just need to fuck him, you reason, to get it out of your system. so you do, straddling him and sheathing his hardness inside your warm, wet cunt. he sounds (and looks) even prettier like this, beneath you, his moans breathy, breathing ragged as you ride him. he feels so good inside you, the stretch of his cock scratching an itch you didn't even realize you had. he watches at you with wide, attentive eyes, hips pushing up to meet yours as you impale yourself on him again and again.

you see stars when you come, cunt clenching around his cock as you throw your head back with a strangled moan. he's still hard and inside you when you come down, his ragged breaths reaching your ears. the look in his eyes is almost reverent when you meet them, and when he begs you to let him come inside you, a little piece of your heart crumbles.

you leave his cell, swearing to yourself that you'll never do it again, that you'll tell ren what you've learned and that dameron will be executed and it'll all be done.

but you don't. can't.

you keep the information you learned to yourself so your trysts with him can continue. every day you go to his cell, send away the guards, and fuck him. you start to look forward to it, to seeing him, to being with him. he starts begging you to let him touch you, and one day you cave and allow it. you groan when he cups your breast, arching into his touch as you bounce slowly on his cock. then his hand falls to your hip, his fingers dig into your skin, and a part of you hopes he'll leave behind bruises. when his thumb finds your clit, he circles the bud, groaning as you gasp, cunt fluttering around him. he whispers something as you fall apart, and it isn't until later that you realize...he'd called you beautiful.

(lmaooooooooooo many, many apologies for going overboard with this, i love me a subby man, especially when that man is poe dameron, hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng)

#poe dameron x reader #poe dameron x you #poe dameron smut #em tag #i have a poe dameron problem #in case that wasn't obvious #thanks for sending this my brain went wild over it as you can see #please feel free to add some more if you want 🤭🤭🤭#also sorry for adding feels at the end i have a tendency to do that lmao #ALSO please consider writing for poe! the world needs more poe!

Your first kiss

Characters: RW Omori Gang (Sunny, Basil, Aubrey, Mari, Kel, Hero.)

TW: Actions occur after the death of Mari, Suggestive, Fluff, Romantic Relationship, GN! Reader, alcohol.

The most interesting thing that began writing this on March 1, and finished on April 12. In fact, the reason for the absence was that we are the last trimester, control and independent, so I try to learn how much it is more likely to study that there is no triple in the year. You should think, already next year I will go to 9 grade and I'll need to ren PSE ... (public state exam(in Russian is OGE)) and I have issued from school, oh ... And I also repaired on Kazuha (Genshin) and was engaged in characters. Mona was falling, but hope is dying the last.

Sunny

• Okay, let's immediately understand that the first step is to explicitly you-

• Well, it's too humulated for this.

• But of course he will not show it.

• But even thinking about this, it can be easily seen as its pale cheeks acquire a more pinky or red tint.

• But be sure, in the world of dreams, he is the mild bird.

• In the world of dreams you will be like that innocent and unsure anime with a schoolboy, and he's like a real man, having dragged you to myself for the waist, embrace, pressing itself, and you will find your sweet lips on your own, slightly suysid your lower lip, and sharing a more good kiss with you.

• But this is only in the world of his dreams and dreams, in reality he did not even immediately start you hugging, even if you consisted in a relationship for the month of so 5-

• Yes, he can be hung on touch and tactical after the one of the 4th of the year was held, and where his listeners were only 4 of his walls, and the pillow with the blanket, but act first he is afraid, not used to.

• It's better to start with the help of he kisses you on my own cheek so that he himself decides to do so, and not you asked him.

• This will be great progress.

• But I do not think that you can wait for this long time.

• Therefore, if you want to finally normal kisses, everything is in your hands.

• One day you sat along the bednuny bed, about what's bolt, honestly, you do not really feel and remember what you've already said there.

• At one point, you just looked directly into the eyes of the Sunny, not blinking and not taking a look, looking straight into your eyes.

• From this guy slightly foamed, porrhea, and his eyes began to run around the parties, not wanting to keep injured so long.

• You approached him stronger, why your faces were pretty close, so that you have been fully facing his nose with their nose, pressed against each other.

• Now the Sunny was to bring his view, besides how to watch directly in your eyes.

• You severely sighed if it was preparing for something grandiose, which was clearly grandiose.

• A little tilt the head in the side, having released more space, you have even slightly approached face to his face, covering his lips with her.

• He had pretty cold lips and rough, but it did not interfere with you.

• The face of the guy was changed in surprise, and the cheeks were blown as never before blogged.

• He faded the breath, did not move and just as if the goldenbel, turning into a clean stone.

• He held the breath for so long that you were even afraid that he will now fall into the overestimate of oxygen starvation.

• You slightly cover the torso guy with hands, pressing yourself, and trying to deepen the kiss.

• If you are trying to do this, then nothing will come.

• Suddenly you felt like the Sunny slightly walked, and his wet from the saliva tongue slightly began to penetrate you into the mouth, exploring the new territory for him, like a cat that he studied a new apartment.

• This swung you into the shock, but the shock quickly replaced at satisfaction and enjoyment, and you split your languages together, like a chain.

• The language was treated on each other, like sometimes your bodies, because from euphoria, your hormones jumped throughout the body, forcing your back of the body slightly grind.

• In the kiss you then and it's slightly and rarely, but they made from the same pleasure.

• You pressed each other as you can be stronger, as if trying to just merge into one whole, absorbing each other.

• Soon you fall on the bed, Sunny lying on my back, and you lying on it.

• Finally, wherever the minutes of the free, you will freeze your mouth, and from the languages the bridges brings out, which is later destroyed because of the great distance between languages.

• You both are red and red slightly breath.

• Sunny slightly acquires you behind the back in mind, stroking.

• Well, for you two, it was clearly amazing and unforgettable experience, is not it?

Basil

• Listen, for him the recognition-the highest degree of courage and dominance, seriously.

• He and so not very self-confident and calm boy.

• Yes, it seems to me, Basil 24/7 is a wide variety of, but basically disturbing thoughts.

• And they eat it 24/7.

• Of course, when you spend time with you, for it time for them, and they are muffled, but not completely.

• The felt of the most disturbing thoughts continue to overtake it and punish, asmeniously organic parasites, eating by the affording and reflecting it completely, for example as ascarids.

• Because of this, as I think, for Basil recognition in love would be the highest degree of courage, at least for him.

• So, again, the whole destiny of your relationship with Basil is only in your beautiful handling.

• In fact, I advise you to start with gentle and brief kisses in the cheeks or foreheads, such gentle and children's, that you did not dream.

• It is a kind of preparation or something on the like.

• After making the kiss this first time, you will already understand that I mean under the preparation.

• Only from a kiss in the forehead will be quite embarrassed and even blinks.

• First, as I think, it is because the Basil is quite difficult to adapt to changes in life, again because of the alarming thoughts.

• He was afraid that you rejected it, he was afraid of losing you, as one day lost Sunny, that he promised to be together, sharing their hard wear, and in the end he himself and locked in his home for 4 years.

• After all, as they say: "Sunflower can not survive without the sun, but the sun can safely live without a sunflower."

• And you became his personal sun, which is finally with him.

• I also think that Basil has little received compliments, and in general attention from the parents and yes.

• Being a quiet and hard shining, it was difficult for him to attract anyone's attention, and he only quietly sat in his company's friends, enjoying their conversations, and not deciding to intervene in them.

• So kissing, even such tiny and children for him were something new and clearly pleasant that forced his heart to take strikes, forcing blood to faster the vessels, and throwing adrenaline to the blood.

• Therefore, I advise, let's say, it is prepared.

• It will get used to it soon, but do not need to wait for full addiction, it is enough to achieve a less rough reaction of his body to a children's kiss, and you can already get to more interesting and magical.

• But I think your first kiss went not in the most pleasant events or not in the most pleasant scenario.

• You often went home to Basil, at least because you liked their flowers, their petals and how they blossom.

• But of course, mostly you were there in order to have a pleasant time with your boyfriend, Basil.

• Memories, stories, reading, his stories about various plants and photos, you liked everything so much.

• When you come to the house, you were met by Polly, as usual.

• She was a cute and good woman, and also glad that you support Basil, making it clearly happier.

• Approaching the door, going to knock, warning about his arrival, you could hear some kind of bomping and a little shippers.

• Oh.

• Sometimes, although not even sometimes, and often the Basil had some break low.

• The anxiety covered his body, and the brain forced him to absorb all the alarming thoughts and memories, allowing anxiety only to be rooted in his psyche, he was wearing strongly than before.

• You decided not to knock, and they entered quietly, closing the door behind you, not wanting to frighten the Basil.

• He did not tell you that he was worried or anxious, apparently, completely unaniming to you, so you could not just run it around him and allow him to get all their problems and alarm again to himself.

• It was hurt to see you as he trembled, cold sweat drained on his forehead, tears drained through the cheeks, and his breath is stolen and breathes it through the mouth.

• He's a non-hit, something forgivent for me, vigied himself and repeated only one thing: "Do not go away from me. Do not leave me."

• You quietly came to it, slightly worshiping to try to see his face.

• What did he go out of you.

• More specifically, what you found it in this state.

• He believed that if you attach it in such a state, then consider it a pathetic, because the majority believed it is not?

• It was hysteria, nervous breakdown.

• His voice broke down, broke and sometimes moved to high tones.

• He grabbed you for the shoulders, repeating only that you do not leave it, did not leave it and what he is sorry for him.

• He did not want to stay alone again.

• He did not want to stay again withdrew with these horrific thoughts and fault, which day from the day he devourced him.

• You tried to calm it, but he did not even listen, so you have moved to radical measures.

• Yes, you invaded completely in his personal space, without demand, but another way out, most likely, you would not come up with.

• Your soft lips cover it slightly swollen lips, forcing it finally shut up.

• The taste of saltity from the tear was felt in your mouth, but it was not so salty to make you offset from such soft and warm lips.

• You seem to be merged into one whole, enjoying the proximity and attachment of each other.

• First you did not feel any movements from Basil.

• And only a few minutes that he seemed to be embarrassed, giving up your dominance.

• He opened his mouth, which allowed you to move further and make this kiss more sweet.

• Your language, your muscle went through the Basil mouth, a little exploring the new area and flew out in a beautiful and sweet dance with another mouse, with the language of the Basil.

• I assure you, you clearly could hear like that slightly Whining while a kiss.

• Well, it became clear the brightest event for both of you.

Aubrey

• Consider that there are at least a little, but you can rest.

• As for me, adult Aubrey is a roundline and more closed than her junior version.

• Although, it is understandable.

• In her childhood, she had friends, she was happy, spending time with friends, even with a chalet.

• But these her friends were betrayed, threw, left one then when he needed their support and love most.

• She remained one, starting to rot and bend, like a sweet fruit without the departure of the garden.

• Also, the problems in the family, especially with the mother, she was affected.

• That love that she had from the mother before, changed on the cold, drunk pigs, and maybe beat.

• Her betrayed all, at least, she believed so.

• Have they seen it like her badly? Did not they understand how she needs their help!?

• Apparently, no.

• Therefore, Aubrey is pretty closed and not trusting.

• She is like a watermelon, a hard outside, but soft, sweet and fragile inside.

• Therefore, you will be difficult with her, as I think.

• They look with Basil by the fact that both do not want to remain again alone, but unlike Basil Aubrey hides his real feelings, because of pride or fear.

• Although, after recognition, it will begin to show the paint it.

• This can be an unprecedented holding hand or for the waist, closing to himself, as if they wish to be with you next to always.

• Well, the first who knows about your relationships, it will be Berly, because Berly is closest to it from the rest of the friends.

• If you did not consist in the bullee group, then you will be treated with a small contempt first, but quite soon you will become part of their family.

• You can think that because of Aubrey is pretty closed, this does not mean that it is shy to show you attachment in society or, God forbid, shy you.

• Oh, there is no, on the contrary, it is proud and even sampling you.

• You, mostly, always together, if you do not count those moments when you sit in your homes or in different places, but even despite this, you often refresh with it, talking about what only can you.

• You loved to sit together, next to it, and you can only chat about what.

• Especially from the abandoned lake with a berth and an old statue.

• Sitting on the shore, on the soft grass, you enjoyed a calm water of the water, which created different lace patterns because of a small wind.

• The wind was widely disposed of the water moisturizing and the pleasant smell of the lake.

• You liked to watch nature, and you were often distracted.

• Sitting on a soft grass, you looked attentively at the calm gesture of water, watching her movement.

• Aubrey noticed that you did not listen to it and just looked at the water, and began to call you.

• However, you did not even tear.

• After a minute, you felt how someone's fingers gently touched your chin, gently turning your head.

• In the same moment, your lips were covered by foreign hips, slightly blank, but all the same sweet.

• Your eyebrows have expanded to a second of a second, and you realized that you have so stolen the first kiss, but after, just slightly covering your eyes, you just succeeded with the pleasure, catching the moment.

• Heart faster the knob, pumping more blood, until the blood of the adrenaline is on the vessels.

• You dade, like cold ice cream on the filling sun.

• And this sun was Aubrey.

• You are ready to fall into its embraces, casing to it as strong as possible, if you want to merge into one whole, in one soul and body.

• You even stopped breathing for a moment, wishing that this moment remains eternal.

• But nothing lasts forever, it's still something that ends or changes.

• And however it was not sorry for it, but you had to stump from the Sweet lips of Aubrey, all the timely enviable data of the event.

• This Aubrey is just a bit smootherse, but very cute and giggled.

• Now, each time seeing this place, you two satisfy the same moment, and sometimes I repeat.

Mari

• Here you again double, and the group of friends again went to find ... who? Ah, it's already not important.

• Have you ever traveled with a group of friends, but why? Honestly, it's not clear whether you were weak or just did not want to be solved.

• But you had to stay alone with Mari, chat with her, something to discuss with her, and just spend time.

• But most of all you liked her touch and attachment.

• Her gentle feminine striking your head, deferring your strands from time to time, enjoying their texture.

• Your head is resting on the lap of Mari while the one sitting on the plate for a picnic with a plate of fruit, enjoyed your society and hair.

• You just like the only cat's pleasure, a pleasant smile enjoyed the Larad Mari.

• Suddenly, Mari came an idea to his head, and she immediately wanted to hear it.

• "Hey, Y / N, you want to play in one game game? Immediately tell you, this game is on trust! You must close your eyes and open my mouth, I'll put you something in your mouth, and you must say and guess what it is!"

• You agreed on this, even if you slightly nervous, hoping that Mari does not drain you in the mouth of the dusty rabbit, wholesaler milk or that either.

• No, you knew that Mari's good and not so evil to wip your mouth outlook products, but even the closest and kind person can fall into your back knife.

• You covered your eyes and opened your mouth, waiting.

• The first was the Mari's cookies, you immediately guessed this!

• It was sweet and slightly foam.

• Then there was bitter chocolate, because of which you wanted to drink to get rid of the bitterness.

• On the third round you felt a soft and gentle on your lips.

• It was clearly not food, but something else, something more sweet than sweets and more tender than pastel shades of different colors.

• You were curious that this is, or more precisely who is this?

• However, sweetness and enjoyment of this only striked your curiosity, forcing you to slightly pull up, and opening my mouth, stretch out the language.

• Your language met with another language, flewing together, as if a node, and not wanting to branched, wanting to remain forever forever.

• Boiling blood was pushed to your cheeks, giving out your feelings about this situation.

• Your eyelids have slightly trembling from pleasure, it's so cute and innocently looked from the side.

• This all lasts five minutes.

• It seemed another minute and you just faint from the heart or the attempt temperature in the body.

• You felt your lips again became free and slowly revealed your eyes.

• All as if changed light, it became more warm colors, but the beautiful purple sky was covered even more beautifully.

• You have seen the colorful, but the deep and satisfied face of Mari, and you immediately guessed that this, or more precisely, who was it.

• But you were only glad that this happened, having preserving this memory, and when repeating this situation, covering the marces from satisfying the situation.

Kel

• Oh, honestly, you were generally difficult to build up and develop your relationship.

• First, Kel for a long time had to get used to the fact that you are not just his best friend, but already a partner for love, with whom, perhaps, he had to spend the rest of the life.

• Well, in addition, no matter how Kel does not seem simple and easily susceptible, he is a few days, if not weeks, he behaved like this most obsessed fanware with a meeting with his cumir.

• Yes, what to say here, your diet is spruce grown less interesting to romantic meetings, not meetings of friends, and kissing in the cheek almost became acceptable.

• Although you really liked it to thus or not to relieve a retest in a basketball in a chest.

• You often went to the Kel's competition, loudly and brightly supporting its command.

• The breaks were silent to it, slightly bolting and maintaining it.

• And here, the last round, and Kel swears the basketball in the ring, adding the last and decisive point of his team, winning.

• Descending from the rostrum, you ran to Kel, joyfully congratulating it.

• It was seen that he was glad and excited.

• Kel has always been an active and emotional boy, expressing his true emotions without shame and conscience.

• He was very happy, so much that I even slightly bounce on the socks, slightly putting his hands.

• His smile was stretched almost up to the ears, showing his teeth in all his pain.

• Noticing how you came, he, not thinking, grabbed you for the shoulders, having dragged on his chest and tightened you in a deep kiss.

• His rubber lips covered your tightening and pleasure.

• It would seem like such simple movements, and in your heart has already storm with hurricanes, which make your butterflies in the stomach like to live, and score with their wings, in an attempt to take off, thereby tickle your belly.

• Honestly, you did not even stop it, you did not even want to stop trying to stop it.

• Roy of pleasant feelings so tightened you to this beam of pleasure, which you already had everything, did he sweat everything, or did you look at our two of his team.

• You have already been.

• All you wanted is so that this moment is preserved forever.

• For you, two world was suspended, you were like something on the whole world.

•After a while, you deepened this kiss, already surprising Kel, and thrusting your tongue, which, like a snake, crawled into Kel’s mouth, intertwining with someone else’s tongue.

•The pressure of pleasure and pleasure overwhelmed both of you, forcing you to press closer to each other.

•Kel's arms slid down, wrapping around your waist, pressing down on you.

•It was as if you were eating each other.

•But nothing lasts forever, ever, and this is sometimes a great pity.

•You pulled away from each other, blood pulsating in your vessels, forcing you to catch your breath slightly so that your thermoregulation would work.

•Suddenly, you remembered that in fact you were not alone and turned to Kel’s team.

•Everyone had eyes like balls, and some even had their mouths open.

•It turns out that Kel has not yet had time to tell them that you are now not just friends, but already lovers, and this is the reaction.

•Well, now Kel is expected to be teased by his team, but this is not so important, because the most important thing is the feelings that you both felt then.

Hero

•Oh, winter, winter, such a magical and pleasant time of year.

•There are many holidays in winter: New Year, Valentine's Day, and in Russia Maslenitsa.

•But now it’s December 31st, and you and Hero are already sitting at a not-so-large table full of various delicious foods.

•These include salads, sweets, and even fruits.

•You spent almost the whole day preparing food and cleaning his apartment.

•Yes, you celebrated the New Year in Hero’s rented apartment.

•Why not? What's the point of celebrating New Year alone when you can celebrate it with your loved one?

•Having fun cooking and cleaning, you both, already a little tired, sat at the table, discussing something.

•Surprisingly, you two managed to eat while cooking, and now you two were absolutely full.

•Honestly, this is your first New Year's Eve together in this relationship, and you were clearly glad that you could spend it together, growing closer to each other.

•The clock struck twelve, your glasses were filled with champagne, and with the joyful cry of people on the street and the majestic striking of the clock, you each made your own wish to yourself as you drank your glass of champagne.

•The most interesting thing is that this is the first time in 19 years that Hero drinks, or even tries alcohol, so he gets drunk pretty quickly.

•And already drunker, he began to cling to you, like a koala clinging to trees.

•His face is slightly red from the alcohol, he hugs you tightly, resting his head on you, and in a slightly unintelligible voice he says how much he loves you.

•Lifting his head and pulling away from you, he gently caressed your cheeks, pulling your face towards his and kissing your lips passionately.

•The smell and taste of alcohol appeared in your mouth, making you wince slightly.

•But despite this, you were only on the contrary drawn to him, and moving closer to him, you only deepened the kiss, intertwining your tongues, as if tying the knot like at a marriage ceremony.

•His hands roamed over your face, straightening your hair and stroking your cheeks, while your hands roamed over his body, stroking his chest.

•But the kiss, unfortunately, did not last long; later Hero became ill due to alcohol, and he pulled away from you, leaning his back on the back of the furniture.

•Even if it was a short kiss, it was clearly very bright and sweet, making your brain remember every moment of this event.

Thinking about what a sweet, kind, silly and gentle hearted person Poe is until you piss him off and once that switch is flipped, he's a force to be reckoned with

Oh, did you mean? my most favorite? facet? of his character? that makes me lose my marbles? and also happens to be maybe my favorite character trope of all time? that? Okay I hope you were expecting an infodump because what-ho! that's what's happening, I have come prepared and with receipts, let's fucking go on how Poe Dameron is a goddamned force of nature and how the galaxy should be really fucking thankful his loyalty is first and foremost to the Resistance and to the Light, because if it wasn't...well, I'd dread to think, but it wouldn't be good for anyone else.

The fun thing for me, is that it has always been a part of Poe's character, right from The Force Awakens -- it's subtle, but it's there, hidden between the sassy quips in the face in danger and the professionality of Commander Dameron; little fleeting moments that tell you that Poe Dameron is not someone to be trifled with at all, including one of his very first scenes:

I'm 90% certain that Poe's gaze actually lands first on Tekka's body here, before lifting it up to glare at Ren - and that's more than just a defiant glare, that's a look of loathing. Which fits, considering that I do believe the Force Awakens novelization confirms that Poe rushes in without thinking, and acts on sheer anger/rage when he goes to shoot Ren after Ren kills Tekka.

(More lengthy thoughts under the cut, I was not kidding, I saved a dozen images for this).

And that look is far from the only moment in TFA that clearly goes "oh. yeah, Poe can be scary when he wants to be", there's this frankly delightful moment during the trench run when Poe sees a fellow pilot perish while covering him:

and then moments later, when Poe flies into the heart of Starkiller to destroy the oscillator, we get this shot:

that's far more than just determination/focus, he's angry. and he has every goddamned right to be - he was just held captive and tortured for (??) days, and this monstrosity just destroyed an entire fucking planetary system, and the very Republic that Poe has spent his entire adult life believing the inherent values of, that he thought could genuinely improve. Never mind the detail that Poe probably likely spent time on the Hosnian System, if he didn't live there temporarily during his time in the Defense Fleet.

But these shots makes it clear where the comic gets the idea from that the First Order might, y'know, actually be. A little bit terrified of Poe Dameron:

He's a serious threat, and ruthless when it comes to the First Order. People joke a lot about Poe being reckless, but I don't see a lot of recognition for the fact that he can be ruthless - he sees point b and dives straight at it, and he's absolutely relentless in his determination to take the First Order down.

The quickest possible way to enrage Poe is inaction or injustice. We see this clearly in the Last Jedi, when he believes Holdo is essentially leading them to their deaths and has thrown the Resistance away:

but we also see it as far back as Before the Awakening by Greg Rucka:

This conversation carries on for a page or so more, I think, with Poe arguing against the New Republic's decision to not act or investigate further (it's also what prompts him into going rogue to investigate on his own, which leads Leia into recruiting him for the Resistance).

And we've even seen it in material as recent as Free Fall, which means this is a character trait Poe has had his entire life:

(these do not paint my girl in a great light but like she's fucked up okay!! and being groomed into taking her mother's place it's fine, it's fine, she's my fucked up little blorbo)

anyway. so this is Poe when he's, probably about 16? 16 going on 17 here, and this is probably the angriest he's ever been considering how shocked he is about the chill in his own voice (which if you were ever curious why I say Poe's anger runs cold, it's because of this scene right here). He's so enraged by the injustice being carried out by Sotin, that he's genuinely - for the first time in the book - considering actually killing someone. And he gets into a screaming match about what the right decision is with Zorii.

(he also gets to punch Sotin later, by the way, if you even care. It's glorious. I love my favorite character who decides murder is okay if said murder is in question a guy who deals in the slave trade)

But also.

My favorite instance of this, ever, which rewrote my fucking goddamned brainchemistry in 2017 when I read it and made me have to step away from my computer and honest to god pace the length of my house to walk it off, is his confrontation with Terex in issue #13 of the Poe comics.

Because you know what?

This entire fucking exchange is personal, and almost/pretty much outright vindictive? Like at this point, Poe has solidly won this round - Terex has finally been defeated, and all Poe has to do is hand him over to the First Order. He knows, in doing so, Terex will likely be killed, and after who knows how long of Terex's bullshit meaning Poe couldn't trust his squadron, and the fact that L'ulo just died - well, Poe's not real broken up about it, which is fun in itself.

But then he asks Malarus if he can have a moment with Terex before he hands him over and Poe....uses that moment to gloat.

And y'all know me i don't use words like that for Poe but like. he kind of does? he asks a moment alone with terex specifically so that he can taunt Terex that he won, that Terex didn't beat him, and that in trying to take Poe down, Terex cost himself everything (a fact Poe happily rubs in his face), and even adds that "and when I give you to the First Order, I bet they'll take the rest."

So like. Yeah.

Poe knew full well they'd likely kill him, and spends the next few issues full heartedly believing that Terex was dead. And he taunts Terex with it here in this moment. It is TRULY glorious and honestly had 17 year old me's little head spinning because it was such a subversion of what I thought Poe would do -- but he did! He didn't try to figure out a way to spare Terex's life, and he used his final moments with Terex to make sure Terex knew that Poe was fully aware of what the choice he was making meant.

It's fucking DELICIOUS.

And I also love this panel from earlier into the issue:

Because again, it's a great illustration of how Poe can come off cold because of the art choices Phil Noto made here: look at the jacket. It's zipped up all the way to Poe's neck (a rarity for Poe), and just generally gives him this very closed off, cold appearance because he's at his wit's end in this issue, and he is angry about the circumstances Terex has forced him into.

So...yeah. Poe Dameron is a sweet, compassionate, silly guy who makes the worst fucking puns you've ever heard this side of the galaxy. He loves his droid, wears his mother's wedding ring with the intent to give it to the right partner someday, and loves all of his friends full heartedly and is generally the most tactile, affectionate person you will ever meet. He's pretty much everyone's best friend, because he has that kind of charisma and ability to make anyone feel like they're the most important person in the galaxy.

But Poe Dameron is also the man that the First Order seems genuinely intimidated/afraid of. He's the man that destroyed Starkiller base, and toppled the most powerful crime syndicate in the galaxy when he was just 17 years old. He is not someone you ever, ever want to piss off, because for all his warmth and love, Poe has an anger that runs cold, and when he hates something - it's just like when he loves something, he doesn't go half-way.

General Organa isn't the only Resistance general that can be absolutely terrifying in her own right as much as she can be gentle and loving. It's just that Leia's the only one anyone ever notices, because...well, Poe's silly and funny and usually kind of easy going.

And the fact that people underestimate him is what makes him that much more dangerous.

#userorb #ask box #my meta #poe dameron #listen. listen. he's SWEET and he's charming but also ongod the first order is /afraid/ of him and can you REALLY blame them #the best fucking trope in the world is the silly goofy soft characters that also can make that switch #to like. stealing from doctor who now. to going full oncoming storm #it's WONDERFUl #i love it so much we need more instances with this trope #flashing gif #death mention cw

Hi! How are you?

May I request a Kylo Ren x reader where the reader is Kylo’s soulmate who has silver eyes and has wings like Maleficent but Kylo doesn’t know until he sees the readers wings for the first time and he is shocked to see them but the reader asks Kylo if he would like to touch them and he gently touches them and the reader wraps her wings around Kylo pulling him closer to her as Kylo wraps his arms around her waist and they kiss (you add the rest)

thank u :)

soulmate au? Yes please!!

Wings

Kylo had always tried to ignore the red thread on his wrist, he had always tried to ignore the fact that he had a soulmate.

That was until he actually had seen you one day. The red string pulling him along, it felt tighter than before. He furrowed his eyebrows, looking up.

The red string was connected to you, you hadn’t seemed to care as you just walked along, ignoring it until he went up to you.

———————————————————————

That’s how you both had met, you both now had been dating for a few months.

“Kylo.” You mumbled quietly, playing with the end of your shirt.

“Yes?” He looked up from his papers he was working on.

“Can we talk?”

He was confused now.

“Can it wait..? I gotta get to work.”

“Uh.. yeah. Sure.”

So he spent the rest of the day at work stressed and confused. He kept thinking what could happen or what you could say.

“I’m home!” He said, you both started living together early in the relationship because he suggested it, saying you would be safer.

You quickly went outside to greet him, and he asked what you wanted to tell him earlier. You stayed silent for a second and stared.

“Uh.. it’s pretty important, and I was too scared to tell you… but..” you took a second before going through the painful transformation.

He stared with wide eyes and mouth agape, your back suddenly growing bigger.. no it’s not your back. It wasn’t until your shirt started to rip and the grey feathers on your back showed clearly.

He looked in confusion and shock, the wings unfolded and almost towered over you, they were huge, and knocked over some things in the living room.

You stared at him, your eyes had changed too. They were now a dark grey.

“Please say something.” You mumbled.

He smiled then, and made their way to the wings slowly dragging his fingers across the feathers.

He looked at you again, and you were looking back at him. He slowly went over to you again, and kissed you.

“They’re.. interesting. But I’m glad you told me. Thank you.”

You smiled and nodded. You wrapped your arms around him, and you didn’t even notice the wings also wrapping around him. His eyes widened and he laughed quietly, hugging you back, and wrapped in the warmth of your wings.

——————————-

I don’t like this too much ): but I hope it’s okay

First fanfic! Be nice please.

Ren x Reader

It was a normal day at Strade’s house. He had left you alone with Ren for a few weeks. Ren was over washing dishes and clearing up a few more chores while you were doing Strade’s laundry. When ya’ll finally got done with it, ya’ll sat and rested, Ren finally speaks up and says in a quiet yet bold tone, “Strade is out. I guess…we’re alone…” you returned back in an almost identical manner, “Yeah..what now Ren?” He looked over at you shyly, as red as a tomato, he scoots closer to you, placing his hand on your thigh gently and softly, Your eyes widen as he fours this gesture, though you’ve never seen him like this before. “I’ve been craving for something…I’ve wanted to tell you this since you first came..I..like you MC…I really do…” Your in utter shock, you’ve never expected for REN out of all people to like you, you grinned, softly. “Really…?” You said, your voice cracking as you said that. “Yes” You immediately hug him gently, you could feel his body soften as you squeezed him hard, His body heat transferring to yours as you look up at him, his body was so small, though yours was smaller, but yet you both fit like a puzzle piece, perfect. He wraps his arms around your waist. He places a hand on your cheek and looks deeply into your big, doe eyes, probably in the middle of small, and big, he asks you, “M-may I…?”

“Yes Ren..you can..yea..you can kiss me..” He didn’t waste no time and kissed you softly on the lips, really tasting your lips, he bit your lip a bit, teasingly.

You moaned out as he pulls you in a bit tighter, you tug on his tank top as you pull him even closer, his body on yours, you pull away to take off your shorts and your tank top your only in your underwear right about now. He stands there, flushed and horny, he couldn’t help himself, latching onto your shoulder and licking your flesh, which made you shudder with delight, thought deep inside him, he wanted to rip that bra and panties right off of you, though that would have been too, Strade-like, and disrespectful. He touches your right boob and unlatches the bra strap, revealing your tits, nice and petite, due to your previous piercing that Strade had given you still had left it stinging. “Please be gentle..it still stings..” you say, your voice cute and petite, He nods softly and runs his tongue over the sensitive little nub, also known as your nipple, you shivered as his wet tongue hit your skin. He put himself against you, and breathed a bit heavier, he pulls down his shorts, his erection now very visible, he skids down the boxers as he strokes his cock, panting, you take off your panties, biting your lip slightly. Your cunt dripping from how excited and horny you were, he spits on his hand, rubbing it on his cock head, wetting it, he pushed inside of you gently, you moan in satisfaction as he thrusts in a bit faster. He pants, feeling the tight squeeze of your insides, tightening around his dick, he goes a bit harder, getting lost in the moment as you moan louder, drool coming from your mouth, though you couldn’t give two fucks about right now, you were far too lost in the moment, you were so close to cumming, and when you did, it was heavenly, you both came at the same time, sighing happily as you did. You clang to him as he lays down, wasted, but satisfied, he cuddles up against you, rubbing his arm on your chest, kissing you before falling asleep, you fall asleep with him, and there you are, two little cuties cuddling up with each other, Aw!.

Sorry this is so short!

If you write for ten can you pls write one where the reader learns piano just to play with ren and ren is happy bcs of it 😭?

hi anon, thank you for the request! ren's actually one of the few that i used to watch, and i definitely loved this idea esp after the piano handcam stream SHASHAHSSDH. also losing my mind rn bcs ren's coming to nijigen but i'm too anxious to go to cons. anyways, hope you liked this <3 !

learning the piano for ren zotto!

summary: you decided to learn the piano for ren after seeing him play one day, and it comes of as a shock to the man, especially when it's something he's very passionate about.

notes: gender neutral reader, mentions of being in a relationship, just some fluff as per usual! slight mentions of misunderstandings but plenty of fluff afterwards.

it's not a surprise to you anymore everytime you come home and hear music coming from his room, or his studio. you know ren's passionate about music, and you've always been his #1 supporter. you've been there when he was working on songs in his studio and he's always letting you be the first to listen. he loves music, you know so. but lately, you've been so busy that you haven't had the time to indulge in his interests that you could sense ren being hesitant around you. when you asked him if anything was wrong, he shrugged it off and said that he was just worried he was bothering you with the noises, eventhough you've reassured him that you don't mind. the lack of communication probably got the best of you because you both ended up having trouble talking after some time, especially with how hard it is to see each other (since you're too busy). you know ren loves music and you know it's something that means a lot to him, and you want to cheer him up! also, as a sort of apology for not being able to be around after you've been so busy. so one morning, you wake up feeling the warmth of his body engulfing you in a hug as the bright shades of outside shine on you face. you groan before turning around to face him. ren was still sleeping, with his face squished against the pillow, mouth slightly opened. you giggled, and nestled closer into his chest, before feeling him squirm and hug you closer. "mmm.. don't go yet, love..stay with me some more..", he says as he basically locks you in his arms. "okay", was simply what you responded and nuzzled closer to him.

silence. that is until ren grabs you with a smile on his face. "wait, really? you're not busy anymore?", he asks you as he cups your cheeks and plants kisses all over your face. hearing him laugh made you laugh too as you shook your head explaining to him how you're done with whatever was keeping you occupied. truth be told, ren never wanted to pry into your business, so he never really asked what was causing you to be so busy. but, one thing for sure is that he's hella glad he has the whole day to spend with his beloved s/o. "well, actually. i was gonna show you something", you said as you dragged ren into his studio where his piano was in. ren, puzzled as he is, follows you behind until he sees you sitting in front of his piano with the brightest smile he'd ever seen. you signal ren for him to stand near you as you clumsily open the piano, and attempt to play his song, 'blue sugar'. you were so focused on getting the notes right, that you didn't even notice how serious you looked, only relaxing after hearing ren laugh. you were embarrassed, but it helped you relax. you could sense ren coming closer before he scooted next to you and played alongside you while he sang. it was amazing, how you felt so happy, and how endearing the whole entire thing was, especially seeing how relieved ren looked after you were done. here you were, two grown ups, just woken up and being all giddy in front of the piano. "what's this? when did you learn to play, y/n?", ren faces you as he plants a soft kiss on your cheek before pulling you closer. "hmmm..i don't know, maybe i was so busy learning the past few weeks, maybeeee", you exclaimed as you see the gears turning in his head. so that's why you've been so busy, he thought. he couldn't hide the soft, warm feeling engulfing his chest. he loved you like crazy, the things you'd do for him, and how just a gesture like this was enough to prove to him how much he's addicted to you. you both spent the rest of the day cuddled up in his studio as he teaches you more about piano, more so as compensation for not learning with him beforehand. (he was pouty you learnt it from someone else). needless to say, ren zotto loves music. but, he definitely loves you more. so imagine the look on his face when his favourite person learnt how to play his favourite instrument all for him.

a/n: sorry this ended up being a little self-indulged sksksks i wrote this without any drafts so it might be a bit loopy. <3 beanz

#ren playing instruments is a blessing to my ear #ren zotto x reader #nijisanji x reader #nijisanji en x reader #ren zotto #iluna #iluna x reader #njsj x reader #njsj en x reader

2023 Dramatical Murder Stage Flashback Report

Long time no see Tumblr!

I am finally back in Japan, and I am coming back with maybe a controversial post.

Back in 2019 I think I was the primary one on Tumblr talking about the stage play and I saw it twice live.

This time I managed to see it 5 times live and I have so many thoughts.

I have not seen the livestreams yet so these are all my thoughts based on seeing it live and on the Ren, Clear, Noiz, and Vitri routes which I saw. I will also not be putting in screenshots as I don't have any from the livestream.

Recast

Before I get into the report I just felt like I should deal with the recast I understand was hard for some people.

I just wanna put out a few thoughts i had on this.

No.1: Your feelings of being sad to not see Seiichan back are completely valid

No.2: Seiichan himself decided to step back and the fact that Nao was announced so soon shows that he was the understudy, and Seiichan knew about this. Therefore, Nao being there as an understudy allowed Seiichan to prioritize his health and not worry about the show his friends were so excited to return to was canceled and feel pressure to perform for them or fans.

No.3: Tsuchiya Naotake had less than a month to prepare everything for the character and yet developed such a deep and close bond with the cast, the character of Aoba, and the stage. He improved so much as the show continued and poured his heart and soul into this role. He respected the character that Seiichan set up for him and took care of the role very well.

I want to emphasize that Seiichan was not in this show and still made money from all the merchandise that had been prepared, however Nao had barely any merch, which is often the bulk of their pay for stages in Japan, and yet never once complained about the amount of work he was putting in. In the final show he even said that he has never once had negative thoughts about the show or thought it was to hard, he just loves it so much.

P.S. I am not saying Seiichan doesn't deserve to get money from merch, I am just pointing out that it is slightly unfair on Nao.

Tsuchiya Naotake

Since I've been talking about him, I will start my thoughts on the play by talking about the man playing the lead.

I will say that I liked Nao before this role in something else and was very excited to see him, however I feel like he still won me over as the show went on and I discovered trepidations about his performance I didn't know I had. I just want to highlight my thoughts by specifically talking about 3 shows that I saw.

Additionally, this is a bad situation that was not Nao's fault and this is probably the worst situation to get cast in your first main role but Nao never showed any negativity towards Aoba or the fans for this.

5/2 - Ren's Route

The first show I saw him in was Ren's route on the 2nd. I immediately knew he was very good for the role, but overall was not wowed by his performance. I think a big part of this was his chemistry with Shogo which I will get back to later.

5/5 - Clear’s Route

I could not have been more shocked by the difference only a couple of days made to Nao's performance. While on the 2nd he still seemed extremely nervous and to be holding himself back, on the 5th he was throwing himself as hard as he could into the role. My friend and I had spoken before the show about how we believed Seiichan had been better at screaming in Mink's SA scene in the first half and that night Nao performed that scene and put every ounce of himself into it. His chemistry with Yuuki was off the charts and when Yuuki (Clear) was giving him 100% of that Clear love he was giving it back 100%. Clear's route is also had bc it has 4 adlib sections for Aoba and Shogo (Ren) was being a bad senpai and not helping at all. His adlibs were so funny and really got Aoba. My favourite being 'I wonder what Clear’s face is gonna be like. Well, he has to be good looking as no one with an ass that good has a bad face.' Overall in this show he felt more relaxed and at ease with the show.

5/6 - Vitri Route

Nothing in heaven or earth could have prepared me for this route. I did ask my friend not to spoil me and I'm glad I went in blind but wow it went so much harder than I expected and Nao performed so incredibly. This route would be nothing without Nao's acting and the fact that it was so good is predominantly down to him. He was willing to go quite far to deliver a performance as game accurate as possible. His subtle changes from blank, to fear, to sadness, to anger, to pleasure were incredible to see and I was genuinely moved by his acting.

He gave himself freely to his costars and trusted in them to look after him and simply immersed himself in the performance which is difficult to do, especially for a show such as that.

I am so glad he got a route all of his own where he cannot be compared to anyone else as I feel this took the pressure off him and relaxed into it.

P.S. Also if you see any post show pics around curtain call of Nao looking blank they are most likely from Vitri route as in all the other curtain calls he was smiling so widely and was so happy, and the contrast with Vitri's was amazing.

He put his whole heart into this show, did so much research and loves this show and every character truly so much

He could have acted the exact same without the same love for the show and he still would have been excellent

But the amount of positive things he said about the other actors, characters, rehearsals, all the routes, and the play in general really showed a deep love and appreciation for the original and the fans. He even was constantly positive about the Vitri route, shocking even their actors, as he poured out his love for every single one in an effort to make the audience love it even a little bit more

He had to, rather quickly, learn a really difficult script and choreography (created for another actor with acrobatic talents that he did not possess prior to this show) And by the final shows there was no way you could have known any of that from just watching the show

Aoba is truly one of the hardest roles in not just 2.5D, not just Japanese theatre, but theatre in general bc you basically have to learn 6 separate scripts, hard dance and fight choreography, be on stage for like 2 hours straight and in every scene, do all of the sex scenes too

But this never once dampened his love or spirit.

In the first show for Noiz route, he forgot two of his lines and had a couple of seconds of silence before he remembered them and he was crying at curtain call.

He put so much pressure onto himself and delivered to us I think some of the best acting in 2.5D, especially from a relatively new actor

As a result of this role, it would not be an exaggeration to say he is among my favourite actors.

I also appreciate how, despite this being his first ever experience of anything BL (yaoi is a term used exclusively in the west), he approached it with 0 judgement to the genre or fans. He said he once believed it was a genre where men fell in love with men, but through dmmd has discovered it is rather about a love that gender is not dependent on, or someone you fall in love with that happens to be a man.

Also, he is an absolute Koujaku simp and it was so sweet to see his eyes glitter every time Koujaku did anything. (This made me want to see Koujaku's route so much as my friend said it was their best one and Nao even added an extra kiss in the final performance)

Whatever you think about Nao and the recast, he has now played Aoba for the same amount of time as Seiichan and has made the role as much his own as Seiichan did. Aoba belongs to Seiichan and he now belongs to Nao too.

Routes

I now want to finally give my thoughts on some of the routes and the show in general. The only order I have put them in is how much I have to say about them.

5/2-5/5-5/6-5/7-5/7 First Half, 'Mizuki's route'

Unofficially dubbed Mizuki's route by some of the cast, which is incorrect pls give us actual Mizuki route, the first half of the play is a simple improvement on the original. The group has different dynamics, acting choices are different, and there are parts I prefer with Nao and parts I prefer with Seiichan but overall as a show, it is an improvement on the original and the blocking and staging sees little change. Naoya (Mizuki) screams his heart after scrap and he is truly the mvp of the first half.

5/7 - Noiz's route

I will start with the show I have the least to say about. It was good! Nao and Rikiya (Noiz) have good chemistry and the show felt very true to the original. Personally Noiz and his route isn't for me and I think some of the jumps they make in the story can be a bit jarring but overall is very good. The hospital sex scene is still really weird in its choreography and I don't necessarily vibe with it. If you liked it before l, good bc it is exactly the same XD

5/2-5/7 - Ren's Route

I'm not gonna say too much about this route bc I don't want to be negative but I do think this is the worst route on stage, including Koujaku's and Mink's too from what I have heard about them. Nao and Shogo have fantastic chemistry...as brothers. They never give off the vibe of lovers and first day I saw the sex scene they barely looked at each other. Nao is a very reciprocal actor and it was clear that there were not really any romantic sparks flying from either side for the route. This is the only route I will say, and ever say, that I wish we'd had Seiichan instead of Nao for. Shogo felt like he was holding himself back with Nao and, with how well he knows Seiichan, I can't see him doing that with him. Whenever not with Ren, Nao was excellent but I was left wanting a bit more from their dynamic.

5/5 - Clear’s Route

This was beautiful and heartbreaking in all the right ways. On the final night of Clear’s Route, Yuuki poured every single ounce of love he has for Clear into the role and Nao answered this in kind. During their final sex scene there was not a dry eye around me.

Yuuki delivered the cutest Clear but also showed how mature Clear could be when speaking to his brothers or Toue. Despite not having much to work with as Toue not having an official actor to play off, Yuuki screamed, shouted, and showed us the human heart that Clear has. His kindness, his love, and his maturity.

Like I said above Nao's adlibs during Clear’s various dressing scenes were also very amusing, and it contrasted well with the heartbreaking moments in Clear’s Route.

5/6 - Vitri's route

So, where to begin. I do want to say, in my very personal opinion, this route would have been very different either Seiichan and I don't know that he would have been comfortable with going as far as Nao did for parts. This is purely speculation and is not meant to demean Seiichan as an actor. It is a hard thing to do and we are not owed him feeling comfortable with it.

Sections that are covered in this route are:

- Beginning of Ren's route

- Aoba abduction

- Introduction of Aoba in Vitri's house

- Shower scene

- How Vitri became fans of Aoba

- Picking a hand

- Virus' room

- The box

- Trip's room

- Being taken from the box and back to Virus' room

- Vitri past

- Vitri and Aoba scene

- Ending with Aoba's situation after half a year with them

We did also get to see them talking to Mizuki about Dry Juice and Morphine but I cannot remember where this slotted in.

Whereas other routes had 2-3 min sex scenes, Vitri route had 3 seperate scenes, not including force feeding, all about 2-3 mins.

It was weirdly moving(?) to watch? Nao's acting was just phenomenal and was incredible to see three completely different sides to Aoba. Modern Aoba, past Aoba, and Vitri route Aoba, within a short span of time and acted so differently.

Also, Nao's dancing without a shirt on to Masculine Devil is something that has to be witnessed.

I love how before the curtain call for every show Nao was smiling ear to ear in every route as he looked at the character Aoba had fallen for, but in Vitri, he removed all expression from his face and just looked empty.

There was a lot of hilarity about the fact that when the dancing starts Aoba is just lying on the ground as everyone claps their hands and waves their ringlights.

Overall

If you are thinking of which one to buy, this is my ranking of the ones I've seen:

- Vitri (mainly for Nao's acting) 9/10

- Clear 8.5/10

- Noiz 7/10

- Ren 6.5/10

This show was a fantastic Rerun that showcased many actors improvements from the years they've been away and an amazing performance from a new Aoba.

I can only hope that we get another stage soon and get to see more of these actors and characters.

Let me know if you have any questions or what me to expand on anything!

okay so, having now seen furiosa: a mad max saga opening night yesterday and having Ruminated on my thoughts, I am going to give my two-pence on the movie even though nobody asked or wanted it - you're getting it anyway!

but before going into the full thing, I actually re-watched fury road today, bc I just wanted to contrast it now that we know furiosa's full story that lead her to her trek in fury road, and I just had mad max on the brain (and also I love that movie).

spoilers under the cut below!!

first, I already knew before seeing the prequel, that that scene in fury road where furiosa breaks down after learning about what happened to 'the green place,' was going to now hit 2x as hard once we learn what really happened the moment she was ripped away, and...yeah, it's super painful to watch. it was already a very emotional scene, but now having known how much pain and struggle it costed her, how many times furiosa desperately made her bet to get back home and fell short - you can really feel her grief

funnily enough though, I was shocked to find myself tearing up not during that scene, but when furiosa was reunited with the last of the many mothers. having just watched her ripped away so unfairly as a defenseless child, her whole world destroyed and clinging onto this dream of one day, getting to embrace her family - you can't help it!! I started tearing up when the other woman rushed to furiosa, embracing her with the gentle touch of their foreheads, 'this is our furiosa' 😭 like..she did it!! she made it home!!! - also, I learned in the credits - that woman was actually the same little girl, valkyrie, in furiosa who was her friend!!! that girl saw her friend get snatched and pulled away from their home, and then finally, both grown, they reuinite! I just thought that was sweet

what max says to her about hope in the scene after they find the mothers, 'if you can't fix what's broken..you'll go insane.' - my mind immediately jumped to dementus. we get this glimpse that he once had a wife and child(ren) he loved, that were either taken from him or killed, and he tells furiosa in their stand-off more or less how that destroyed him mentally, further plunging him into this hateful madman who acts so cruelly to others. he couldn't 'fix' it by getting them back ('I want them back!!' 'I can't!!'), the one thing he loved that kept him sane, and so he lost his humanity.

I saw a post of someone saying how ricktus's death (immortan joe's son) is 10x more satisfying after having seen what he (nearly) did to child furiosa...abso-fucking-lutely (though, I think with that in mind, furiosa should've gotten a part in it..)

also, max & and furiosa's dynamic after knowing about her & jack...the parallels! the parallels!! their gradual bond of trust, how fluidly they work together to kill/fight the enemies of the citadel akin to her and jack vs. dementus and gang, etc.

this saga, of course, is about hope and redemption, alluded to in both fury road and the prequel. in fury road, max says (I think in his opening monologue) how he was once strived to be a 'righteous warrior', who could do good and help others. later, when one of the wives finds the warboy nux, he's distraught bc he thinks his chances for greatness are gone, but then she tells him that maybe, he's destined for something greater - and that would be, of course, later sacrificing himself to save her and the rest by crashing the rig into the war party. in furiosa, jack says how his parents were valiant warriors, and how he hopes one day, he could be the same - also, later, fulfilling that by sacrificing himself so that furiosa might escape dementus and the destroyed gastown. it's just such an amazing string of parallels - all three men, looking to do something great, and then, through furiosa, they're given that chance and achieve something good even amongst the destruction!! but it's only bc of furiosa, this harbinger of hope, that they do so - she's the tie between them all, the embodiment of that goodness!!! it's! just! so! good!!!

honestly there's probably way more parallels out there I'm sure ppl will bring up, but those were the things that struck me. now, onto my actual thoughts on the prequel.

--I'll start by saying I was unbelievably excited to see this movie. I'm annoyed though, bc despite knowing about it and wanting to see it once it was released, I literally only learned it was coming out a week before the release date. straight up, the press for it was so poor, not once did I hear about it before the trailer randomly crossed my feed one day - and considering how popular fury road is, I find that bizarre (but, I'll bet you a good couple bucks, that the press/hype was deliberately poor bc of the movie company execs, due to this being a female lead film 😠) - but it did mean I didn't have to wait too long, and that I did watch the trailer about 13 times on my own accord until then..

--having read the reviews, I do agree, it is a bit slower then fury road - but, that's really only bc it's a character story instead. fury road takes places in the current time of the film and the actions that follow, whereas the prequel is specifically about furiosa, so it's honed less to the action and more about a certain character, in my opinion. but it's just as good for a character story! it does an excellent job of unfolding furiosa's journey, and really, if you're gunna compare everything in the franchise to fury road, it's never gunna live up. that said, there's still excellent action and real nail-biting moments.

--I will say though, that I found it almost...darker, then fury road? fury road is definitely intense and there's of course violence, but it never openly tips into anything past pg-13; the darkness that is there, is more or less touched upon by the narrative (like, we can get a sense of what must've happened to the wives (ie assault) and why they escaped once we see how immortan joe regards them as property, the suffering furiosa must've went through by the pure vitriol look she gives him when their cars are side-by-side and later, 'remember me?' before killing him (my favourite scene)). but it's never explicit - furiosa is. from the torture of her mother, to that scene right after the max cameo when he drops furiosa off at the citedel's underground where I literally had to cover my eyes and ask my friend to say when it was done..there's an overtone of darkness that gives to the tragedy of furiosa, this child molded from pain (not to mention, again, that scene of ricktus and her as a child which to me, was the most nerve-wracking moment). fury road gives you a glimpse, but furiosa doesn't hold back.

--chris hemsworth, meanwhile, made an excellent villain. not just as an actor, but dementus as a character was fantastic. he's got lots of great lines and brings in a lot of humor - he's both deranged and erratic, while also clever and simultaneously childish, and mostly, cruel. he's wonderfully dynamic. bringing in a backstory of losing his wife/child was a great added piece to his story (I love a good backstory), and the way he takes the loss of his kid and tried to mold it around furiosa, tries to fill that empty piece inside, was a great choice in terms of their dynamic. it made him more then just a mad-man who stole a child for yuks - he had a deeper desire to tote furiosa around, almost as a security blanket in the same way the teddy bear also acts as one. his final monologue was great - the ramblings of a hateful man, but it was, in the end, what got furiosa to see past vengeance, and become better - to choose hope, and not destruction.

--anya taylor-joy did a great job I thought - while I wish furiosa had more lines, she made up for it in just the facial expressions and how full they were, really giving us a glimpse of what furiosa was feeling. even still, it would've been nice to have known what was going on in her head, or even hear her talk about her past - the green place, and then dementus, are the pure driving force of her character, yet she doesn't ever mention or grapple with her grief around these things, simply stays silent (except for the final confrontation with dementus). I would've loved maybe, if she had confided in jack, or maybe even one of the wives, to give more depth to her feelings.

--I also wish furiosa could've bonded with someone else besides jack, or at least before him. it would've been nice for to have had at least one ally, or, I dunno, a friend? like that war boy who had dwarfism - she seemed almost sad, when realizing after the battle that he was dead. instead, she's alone, but a fellow misfit friend could've been nice.

--speaking of jack, loved him! thought he was great! it's unfortunate his part was so short, would've loved delve into his background (also, I'm as gay as they come, but he's like..an objectively Good Looking Man, so well done all around).

--I was really nervous, for how they were gunna do the romance. I was against it initially, bc the great thing about fury road, was that romance was not at all forced into the narrative - you can read that between max & furiosa if you want, but for one of the very, very few times when a woman and man team up, romance wasn't forcefully wedged in, and instead they could be respected allies. so I was skeptical - and then I totally fell for them. they were so sweet! the two actors had great chemistry - their bond was just so soft. the way, after they crash and are caught by dementus, furiosa, who can barely stand, gently leans herself into jack's shoulder, sweetly muttering to each other as he leans his forehead back against hers, like 😩😩 it was so lovely, and so tragic. you could really feel the respect and care they had for each other; it was so organic, bc jack genuinely wanted to help furiosa. he respected her and asked nothing of her - he was a purely good man, and through that, furiosa was able to open up to him and trust him. it's the great curse of the mad max universe though - no romance can escape it's claws, same with how nux and one of the wives were torn apart. in my heart of hearts though, there lives a little AU fic where dementus doesn't catch them, and they make their way back to the green place and live happily ever after with a kid perhaps, and maybe, furiosa and him go back to later rescue the wives (they say, like they're not thinking of already writing that very fic...).

--one more thing about furiosa I wanted to mention, if I can call back to earlier saying how she becomes a beacon of hope for the various men that enter her life (and the women too, when you think of the wives..) - that, despite all this horror handed to her, at the very end of the rope, she gives into her hero's heart. time over, we see, even as the destruction of the wasteland chips away at her, furiosa can never quite betray her heart. she runs back to her mother even after being pushed to leave, she goes back for jack despite having the perfect escape to finally make it back home, and in the end, takes all her hurt and anger wrapped up in dementus, and turns it and him into something that can bring good into the world. it's about choosing good, above all!! a hero's heart, even in the darkest of worlds!!!

--the trailer really emphases the green place, but we only see it for like...a couple minutes? I was looking forward to more lore about it, maybe seeing some of it's inhabitants like the mothers. but furiosa is taken immediately and then her mother starts her hunt after her, and that's it. kinda a bummer.

--there's a couple inconsistencies here and there - like, when furiosa is first brought to where the wives are kept, there's gotta be about 20 women in there, roughly. but then, as she becomes a young adult, we see at the very end her approach the 5 wives from fury road (I was expecting a call-back, so loved that) and it looks like there's only them there - what happened to the rest of the women??? did they all die in childbirth?? also, when furiosa runs away and hides herself as a warboy/mechanic, how did no one know she was gone?? it seems odd, since immortan joe specifically picked her out and probably has a mental line-up of all his 'treasures', you'd think he'd notice. or how, later on, the new 'imperior' with jack looks oddly similar to that young girl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

--also, I wanna know how furiosa got away with being the only female imperior - you'd think immortan joe might snag her away instead to be a wife bc she's young and viable, or that she'd be either dismissed or preyed upon by his sons/the other men. maybe because she was partnered with jack it was easier, but that was kinda confusing.

--final thing, bc this post is already too long - my last gripe is mainly about furiosa's dynamic with immortan joe. in furiosa, her revenge is purely motivated towards dementus, but then, switching to fury road, she now holds contempt and anger towards the warlord. part of what I wanted to see in the film, was her past with immortan joe; we didn't know initially how furiosa got to the citadel, but my interpretation, was always that possibly (because she was branded with the logo on her neck) she was brought on as a wife, inevitably abused by him, and then something happened where she was no longer useful as a wife (maybe an accident that cost her her arm) but was still useful as a tool. but, immortan joe isn't really looked at in the prequel; he's here and there, but doesn't show any particular cruelty or act towards furiosa that I was expecting. that vitriol she shows in fury road, and of course, 'remember me?', makes you think there was something there to fuel furiosa's revenge. instead, nothing really occurs between them - of course, furiosa is brought on to breed him children and then is expected to do his every bidding in getting supplies, so, I think we're supposte to assume that she has seen how cruel he is up close, and so acts against him. still, I was expecting something deeper there.

all in all, I loved it and had a great time. fury road will always be one of my favourites, but this is a great addition. fury road is great on all fronts; a fascinating world, great characters, amazing action, a well-made and clearly cared for story, but the thing I love most - is that it's about hope. it's about choosing, every day, despite the horrors around you, to get up and hope for something better. to do something better, even at your own cost. it's about hope and what we mean to each other when we extend it. and I just love that so much

go see furiosa! support it! it's a great time!

60-something confessions, weve paid our tribute, what are YOUR confessions

Okay, here goes 10 confessions from me:

I wish we had seen Pyrrahs friendships, I think she and Ren would've been good friends since both of them are so level headed.

I headcanon that they would take care of the school garden together, Pyrrah would struggle a bit with delicate plants but same time be happy to be able to learn from his peers new things for once.

One day she learns that Nora and Ren are orphans. Her respect for them grows, seeing them as so much stronger for not having the same support she had growing up, yet here they are thriving. She makes sure to invite them over during holidays and for other things they possibly missed out on as kids.

She doesn't care for cooking but often goes to shop for ingredients with Nora.

I think Freezerburn is incredibly soft.

Weiss is able to cool down hot-headed Yang and Yang is able to melt away the Ice Queens tsundere tendencies. :'-) <3

I miss seeing the street fashion influence when it comes to designs, ofcourse I understand why it isn't there as much anymore but I can still moan about it.

Yangs' tsuyome-esque looks was my fave, it was fire and I wanted to cosplay it so badly.

Ruby's look reminds me of something I wore when I was 12yo actually

Only on my second watch I realised that Ironwood looks really hot with this look and it's a shame that it got SO little screen time. And same with Winters first look.

Also on my second watch I realised that the straps on Oscars' gloves are green not black ???

Remember bootleg Neptune from volume 4? Yeah he sure exists. But what if he did more?

Weiss is trapped in Atlas, she's lonelier than ever, she can only go to places and events dad approves of. And this guy keeps coming around, maybe they meet at the Schnee Manors garden, why not go for a bad boy?

They have fling going on, for Weiss it's mostly out of boredom and finding him good looking. If she's trapped might as well have fun. Maybe they'll get in trouble or have some other sort of side plot going on together but eventually when Weiss gets a window to escape out of Atlas, she's faced with a decision.

Stay with the guy who obviously finds it insane to trade living high life in Atlas to go chase some pals she met at school in other kingdom. Weiss snaps out of the rose coloured glasses after hearing this, ultimately choosing her friends.

Idk I just wish they let them do the usual young people fuck ups and learning experiences if there's going to be whole volume of them sitting around

Yang's probably closest thing Oscar got for mother figure...

The bird thing. Make Raven tell Weiss and Yang how the experience was as she remembers, give them reason to be shocked. So here's my suggestion:

Maybe the process was violent since current humans aren't used to magic in any shape, they're stripped from their autonomy in that moment and it's humiliating.

Like Amber was in the chamber beneath Beacon, Oz did it to Branwens there in similar way? Underground to not attract grimm, no one to hear their screams, its cold and dark, they're stripped like Amber to act as guinea pigs for this man.

Qrow has (more or less) made peace with all that trauma and what happened since he thinks its suffering for the greater good. After all, the man doesn't really have home to go back to. He doesn't want to bring misfortune to people he loves and the tribe doesn't really want him back.

However Raven learns that Salem can't be beaten, meaning she and Qrow suffered for only to be ideal candidates for a suicide mission...

I want Qrowin angst, please crwby, I want to suffer lmao

Give Qrow absolutely losing it, calling Winter after Atlas falls asking her if she knows where the kids are? Where did she last saw them?

And when Winter tries to answer Qrows questions she can't bring herself to say it; they're gone. She was there and she couldn't save them, not even her own sister. The words just won't come out... and after the silence she tells him to meet her in Vacuo, after all he deserves to know.

Whatever differences they had in the past feel so miniscule now.

(Aaand I headcanon that both of them craved for a "normal" family, making this little story even more horrible!)

10.

Yang "shooting" kids' leg on live TV should've had more consequences me thinks. Give me atleast someone commenting or being vary of her.

Her arm is brand new Atlas tech according to Tai, maybe someone would see it as an issue after finding out that she got it for free from Ironwood himself.

Maybe anti Yang propaganda being showed around town could've pushed her to work with Robyn (lol)

"Quite frankly miss I'm about to piss myself right about now, so this one is on the house"

#long one #now we will just wait and see what happens lmao #oh yeah lowkey about the third one #theres rwby tuber who calls the accessories the characters have as “butt capes”#and it makes me irrationally annoyed ?#because girlypop just google Visual Kei or rokku gyaru and you see that its not too uncommon to accessorise (especially pants) like that 🤨#like how can you simultaneously complain that the guys usually get to wear “just pants” but then say the accessories “dont do anything”?????#Aaarrggghh #obviously you can disagree with me but please #p l e a s e #when Ruby herself has this gothic lolita inspired look why wouldnt there be influences from other styles too?!?!?!?!?#znndkwdkwkMndnwosfgk im going to eat dry wall #and i took that personally

DEFECTIVE GOOD PART 13:

A few weeks later, JR-6025 had succeeded in integrating the Rebellion and earning the trust of Poe Dameron. He seemed to have grown fond of her—enough to talk freely to her about some of the Resistance’s recent missions. He seemed to trust her and multiple time, JR-6025 hesitated telling him the truth or stopping all contact with the First Order, but then general Hux’s face would return to her. And she realised she couldn’t betray him and even though she wished to get away, she knew that betrayal Hux would result in his death. It would be another failure he wouldn’t be able to stand…

Hence, JR-6025 kept spying for him and relaying information. She would of course be sure to not reveal too much as to give the Resistance a fighting chance…but she was trapped.

As she was resting in her tent, Poe entered her tent with a smile on his face.

"Hey, buttercup. Missed me ?"

He had gone on a mission on the planet Vaghar and even though she knew better than to get attached, she had to admit having missed the pilot. She smiled at him.

"You bet…What happened ? I thought you were supposed to only be gone for a couple of days ?"

He chuckled awkwardly.

"Yeah. About that…we fell on some stormtroopers and getting off the planet turned out to be more tricky than I thought it would be…but I brought you back a gift !" He grinned at her and JR-6025 tilted her head quizzically at him before he pulled out an object from his pocket.

"Finn told me stormtroopers rarely knew how they looked like and I thought that…you would like to know." He smiled softly before giving the object—which turned out to be a small mirror—to her.

"Here. Now, you’ll be able to see what I see."

JR-6025 blinked twice in astonishment before looking down at the mirror—her heart hammering it her chest. It was…a gift—her first gift. Poe chuckled:

"Hey. What’s with the long face ? Did I pick the wrong gift or something…?"

JR-6025 stayed silent for a while before her eyes started filling with tears and Poe’s face immediately dropped.

"Hey hey. No. Sorry. I…I’ll take it back. I am sorry. I didn’t mean to…"

JR-6025 suddenly hugged Poe tightly.

"…Thank you."

Poe remained shocked for a moment before he chuckled and returned her hug.

"You’re welcome, beautiful."

JR-6025 smiled and tightened her hold on him. General Hux had seen her face. Kylo Ren had seen her face. Everyone had seen it but her. And Poe was the very first one who had thought about it…about giving her a chance to discover it for herself. The first one to think about her…It made her smile.

Poe held her for a few seconds more before slowly pulling away to look her in the eyes and gently wipe her tears with his thumbs.

"No more tears, okay ? You look so much better with a smile, JR." He smiled tenderly at her and JR-6025 smiled at him. He made her feel at home and she opened her mouth to say something—but no sound came out. Poe’s eyes creased as he cupped her face and smiled softly.

"Do you want me to stay when you’ll look or…?"

JR-6025 hesitated before smiling and nodding.

"Stay. Please."

Poe smiled and nodded before JR-6025 took a deep breath and slowly lifted the mirror to take a look at her face. She observed her features and somehow, she couldn’t recognise herself. She had lived so long with the helmet on her face that the reflection seemed strange to her…Was that really her face ? The face that she had been so afraid to see ? It was the face…of a woman. She thought she would only find a monster hidden underneath but…

She smiled and her eyes filled with tears again—but tears of joy this time. Poe smiled and asked:

"Feels good, huh ?"

JR-6025 nodded slowly and didn’t have the words…She felt free. And even thought her reflection was a stranger to her, she knew that she would learn to get used to it.

She looked at Poe with a big smile.

"Thank you again, Poe…"

Poe’s eyes widened in shock.

He realised it was the first time JR had called him by his first and his smiled matched hers as he playfully ruffled her hair.

"It didn’t seem fair to me that you wouldn’t see it. Finn had the exact same reaction the first time he saw his reflection. He seemed so curious and happy about it. I hoped you would have the same reaction and…I wasn’t disappointed."

JR-6025 smiled softly at his words before kissing Poe’s cheek.

"…You are a kind person, Poe."

Poe was slightly stunned at the gesture before he smiled and hugged her again.

"You too, JR. Never stop believing that."

JR-6025 felt relieved and grateful as she returned his hug and for the first time in forever, she felt safe. Poe squeezed her one more time before pulling away.

"Well…I am exhausted. It’s been a long flight. I think am gonna hit the sack."

JR-6025 smiled and nodded.

"Alright. Goodnight, Poe."

He smiled and nodded before leaving her tent. Her eyes followed him and she smiled until she heard a bipping sound and looked down to see her bracelet lighting up. She sighed. She knew what it meant and that Hux wanted to talk to her.

She took a deep breath before accepting the call.

"WHERE WERE YOU ?"

She winced as she recognised General Hux’s loud voice and she forced herself to remain upright as she replied.

"I was earning the Resistance’s trust, sir. But, it takes time and…"

"I DO NOT CARE FOR EXCUSES !" General Hux interrupted her. "YOU HAVEN’T BEEN ANSWERING FOR DAYS ! IT HAS BEEN DAYS AND NOTHING ! I THOUGHT YOU WERE…" General Hux stopped himself before sighing and lowering his voice. "Have you learned anything useful yet ?"

JR-6025 hesitated before shaking her head negatively.

"No, sir. Not yet. The Resistance is not trusting with outsiders. And it has only been a few weeks. I need more time."

General Hux sighed and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"Time is running out, JR-6025. Give me useful information soon, or I will have no choice but to take you off the mission."

JR-6025’s eyes widened at the threat and she gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain calm before nodding.

"Yes, sir."

General Hux ended communication and she took a deep breath before closing her eyes. She then quickly left her tent. She needed some fresh air…

Once she was far enough, she sat down and looked up at the stars—silently wishing for guidance. She the felt someone sit beside her and was surprised to find General Organa there.

"General Organa ?" she asked, surprised at her presence.

"Please. Call me Leia." The older woman smiled at her. "And tell me…What is your name, soldier ?"

"I uh..." She paused for a moment, thinking about the answer. She had never told her name to anyone who wasn't a First Order soldier before...it felt weird to actually answer that question.

"JR-6025." she replied, hesitating at first before answering with confidence.

Leia chuckled.

"No no, dear. That is not a name. That is a number."

JR-6025 looked away.

"That is...the only thing I've ever been referred to as. That...and 'stormtrooper'," she replied, her tone becoming more bitter as she mentioned the other term.

Leia nodded understandingly. "…Tell me. How would YOU like to be called ?"

JR-6025 was surprised at the question before she looked back at Leia.

"...I don't know." she replied simply, and she felt the faintest bit of embarrassment for not knowing an answer to that.

"I've only been known as 'JR-6025' and 'stormtrooper' for so long, I honestly don't know." She looked away, suddenly feeling...ashamed. Leia offered her a compassionate smile before squeezing her wrist. "You will find it. I am certain of it…"

"I..." She looked into Leia's eyes, feeling embarrassed again.

"I suppose so..." she replied, glancing away again, as she tried to regain her composure. The old woman smiled before looking back up at the stars.

"Tell me, soldier. What made you decide to finally join us ?"

JR-6025 took a deep breath before she started thinking about a suitable answer to give her. She felt a sudden desire to actually share her own reasons for turning to the Resistance, when all she had ever done was lie about her motive to her superiors in the First Order. That feeling was one she welcomed, since she hadn't been honest with anyone in so long.

"Well..." she said, hesitating at first, as she picked her words. "I just...wanted to be free."

"Free ?" Leia smiled sadly. "I am afraid we all wish for it. This war…has been depriving us all of what it means to be truly free."

She nodded, looking down slowly.

"It really has..." she agreed, her voice becoming a bit somber. General Leia's words made JR-6025 feel some sort of comfort—she had never had a genuine conversation like this with anyone on the "good" side of the war.

"For so long, I've had to lie...I've had to pretend to be someone I'm not. I've had to do things in the name of the First Order...all in the name of war...of destroying the enemy..."

Leia smiled sadly.

"I understand, dear. We all had to say things…do things…that we didn’t want to do. We had to make…sacrifices."

She nodded again.

"I know..."

She sighed.

"And now that I'm...that I'm here, on the 'good' side of the war, I...I don't know how to cope with everything."

She paused for a moment, trying to pick the right words.

"To tell you the truth...To tell you the truth, everything feels so...weird. I feel...uncertain. Unsure of everything..."

Leia nodded and chuckled.

"It is understandable. The First Order shapes minds. It makes you think you do not have a choice. But…You do. You do have a choice." Leia squeezed her hand again. "And you made the right one."

...The right one...

JR-6025 could do nothing but smile slightly, as she felt the words sink in.

"That's true," she replied softly, her tone becoming brighter. "I just...I still feel nervous. I'm not used to this side of the war. I'm not used to the idea of being...of being a rebel."

Leia laughed.

"Aren’t we all…I never expected to become the general of the Rebellion. Yet. Here I am…" Leia’s laugh died down as she then added bitterly. "…This war cost me my home, my husband and my…son. But, I still believe that there might be a happy ending to our story."

JR-6025 looked at her, her heart skipping a beat when she realized how much General Leia had lost. And yet, she still pushed on and kept fighting.

"I'm...I'm sorry to hear that, General..."

She paused, thinking of the right words to say.

"But...you're right. There might be a happy ending for us. I...Hope there is, at the very least..."

General Organa smiled and nodded.

"Sometimes, I see my son in my dreams. He is happy. He is smiling and looking at me with hope in his eyes…His name used to be Ben Solo. And I still keep the hope of seeing him again one day."

"Ben..." JR-6025 paused, realizing that this was likely the first time she had heard the name of Kylo Ren before he became a sith.

"...Do you still have hope that he can be redeemed ? Even after everything that's happened ?" JR-6025 asked and General Organa smiled sorrowfully.

"A mother’s love is unconditional."

JR-6025's heart grew a bit sad as she heard those words. She had never had a mother who loved her unconditionally...she didn't even know what that was like. She was suddenly very aware of her own loneliness—of how everyone who had raised her had done it without love or compassion, under orders and under rules.

"I wish someone could believe in me the same way you believe in him," she said softly, almost as if speaking to herself. Leia looked at her and smiled.

"You already do. Poe believes in you. And the Force knows that boy is a menace. But, he is not one to trust easily, and he trusts you. And so do I."

JR-6025 was surprised by Leia’s words before she asked.

"Why ? Why are you so sure that I am trustworthy ?" She asked and Leia smiled knowingly.

"…Because I know the love you carry in your heart, child. For my son. And for all those you wish to redeem."

JR-6025 was taken aback by her answer.

"H-How do you know about that ?" It was as if Leia just understood her motives and the way she felt, even though they had just met. It was a bit unsettling, and yet her words were oddly comforting...

Leia laughed.

"Luke is not the only one who was gifted with the Force. And the Force is strong in you, child. Besides, the instincts of a mother are never wrong. And I can see goodness in you. I can feel it."

JR-6025 sighed and looked back up at the night sky.

"...That's not what the First Order said." She didn't mean for the words to come out as bitter as they did, but she felt the anger still lingering within her, from the years she had spent with the First Order.

"They said that I was nothing but a stormtrooper. A soldier, meant to serve." She paused. "...I...have never had anyone show me any kind of...kindness...in my entire life..."

Leia smiled.

"That is because the First Order is incapable of seeing a good soul. It only recognises rage and hatred as worthy emotions. They couldn’t see how valuable a loving heart can be. And you…" Leia smiled and gently patted JR’s shoulder. "…You possess a loving heart—capable of understanding the need for peace and love."

She smiled, feeling her heart melt at the words she was hearing. The First Order had made her think that her kindness and love were...weakness. They had told her that she needed to let go of every attachment she had, or else suffer the price. But...Leia's words and her kindness was making her feel as though those attachments weren't so bad, after all.

"…Is it bad if I still care about the fate of those who fight for the First Order ?" JR asked and Leia shook her head.

"No. It shows that you have a heart, that you can see who they were meant to be, instead of who they have become. It shows you are human and empathetic."

JR-6025 sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"…General Hux. Kylo Ren. The other stormtroopers…I sometimes dream about what we would have been if not for the First Order…"

Leia smiled sadly.

"I do as well, occasionally. I often wonder about who Ben would have been, had he not fallen to the Dark Side...had I been a better mother...had..." She paused, her smile slightly fading away as the sadness returned to her eyes. "Had the war not happened at all..."

They stayed next to each other in—pondering.

"It is all a matter of choice, isn’t it ?" JR asked.

Leia sighed sorrowfully and nodded.

"Yes. I believe my son chose the wrong path. But I still hold on to the hope he will one day find his way back. He was...he was truly good, as a boy...and then as a young man. I know he is there...somewhere, inside of him..." she paused, closing her eyes for a moment.

"He has to be..."

JR remained silent. Leia took a deep breath and went silent after, as the two stood next to each other, their gazes on the star-filled sky above. They stood there for quite some time, before General Leia finally broke the silence.

"...Thank you, JR. For listening to my ramblings..."

JR-6025 smiled.

"It was my pleasure, Leia."

Leia smiled sadly, but JR could tell there was some kind of warmth to the smile she gave her. She took a deep breath, as the two of them kept a silent moment of companionship.

After a while, JR could feel Leia squeezing her wrist slightly...Leia was lost in thought and JR hesitated before asking:

"…Could you…Could you tell me about Kylo R—I mean…Ben Solo ?"

"....Ben Solo..." Leia's voice had become wistful and sorrowful as she said his name, her grip on JR's wrist tightening slightly...

"Of course. What do you want to know ?"

"…The boy he was. The man he could have been." She replied.

"...The boy he was ?" Leia smiled gently in nostalgia. "Ben...as a child was sweet. Kind. He was loving and compassionate...he enjoyed books...he was interested in the history and legends of the galaxy, and was always curious. He was always kind to everyone around him..." she smiled as she recalled some of her happier memories of her son. "...When he was a boy, he was nothing but...a bright, vibrant, and curious young man...With all the kindness and innocence of a child.." her smile faded away, her thoughts then turning to...The man he could have been...Oh...He could have been anything he wanted to be...He could have been a scholar, in the Jedi Order...He could have been a leader, of his own family legacy...So much potential..."

"…I bet he could have been great. He could still be…" JR said—trying to lift Leia’s spirits—and Leia chuckled sadly, shaking her head.

"You're kind to believe so...I haven't had that same faith in him since...since the day he turned to the Dark Side...But...perhaps...you're right..." She squeezed JR's wrist again "...Perhaps, somehow, he can still redeem himself. Perhaps...there's still a chance."

After a few minutes, Leia stood up and walked away after telling JR goodnight. JR smiled but then, felt a presence behind her. She didn’t turn around or turn her head away from the stars when she felt the presence sit down next to her. She glanced next to her and felt Kylo Ren’s presence—but she knew he wasn’t physically there. It was an apparition. He remained silent next to her until he spoke in her mind.

"You shouldn’t have lied to her…"

JR felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the presence of Kylo Ren's spirit next to her, even if he wasn't actually there. At the same time, she didn't feel like he was a threat to her. He felt familiar to her, she knew who he truly was.

She gave a small chuckle at his words.

"Is it wrong for me to help General Organa holding onto some hope ?" she asked, sounding slightly teasing at that point. Kylo Ren remained silent for a moment before replying.

"My mother believes Ben Solo is still alive. Do not encourage her."

She stayed silent for a moment, thinking over what he had just said. She was tempted to lie, to humor him. It would save her a confrontation with him...

Instead, she finally spoke.

"She's his mother..." she replied. "She's allowed to believe that her son can be redeemed. She is allowed to hold onto that hope..."

"…She will get hurt holding onto false hope." He countered and sighed. "She’s an old woman, holding onto the ghost of a past long gone."

JR frowned, but she kept her voice calm as he spoke.

"She isn't holding onto the ghost of a past long gone. She is holding onto...The legacy of who her son could have been, who he was supposed to be." She sighed sadly. "Can you really blame her for that ?"

"…I do not blame her. I am simply trying to avoid her heart be broken again when she comes to the realisation that her son is dead. He died a long time ago." Kylo Ren looked at her. "I…killed him."

JR shivered at the way he said that.

"...I...I think...she knows that." she finally said quietly. "She just chooses not to believe it. She doesn't want to see it, not really. She doesn't want to lose hope, even in the face of everything...Because she believes you still can be better...Because she still sees potential in you..."

Kylo Ren looked at her.

"But you and I both know the truth…"

She stayed silent for a moment, looking down at the ground.

"I know..." she finally said. "But...I still choose to help support Leia in her wish to hold on to hope."

"…Leia." Kylo Ren chuckled knowingly and tilted his head towards her. "You got attached to her, didn’t you ?"

JR nodded, smiling wistfully.

"...She's kind and compassionate, and she helped me feel something I haven't felt in years...Comfort. Care..." she replied, her voice sounding slightly sad and warm at the same time. Her eyes shifted to Kylo Ren.

"...You do realize how much you hurt her...right ? When you betrayed her..." She frowned.

"…I know." He looked down and smiled bitterly. "But, do not be fooled. I was betrayed first."

"...By Leia ?" she asked, sensing a bit of...sorrow within his words. He didn’t answer—he simply looked back up at the stars. She looked back up as well for a moment, before her eyes then shifted back to him.

"Do you regret what you did ?" she asked softly, almost in a whisper.

"What I did ?" He remained silent for a moment before answering her. "No. No, I do not."

Her eyes widened slightly. He hadn't denied it.

"So...you do not regret turning to the Dark Side...?" she asked curiously. She expected a different answer to be honest.

"…No. The Dark Side opened my eyes. It killed the weakness in me." He replied without hesitation and she went silent for a moment, thinking over his words.

"And what you are now ?" she asked him, "Would you say you're happier this way ?"

"…Happier ?" He let out a humourless laugh. "Perhaps not. But, I am stronger. More powerful than Ben Solo would have ever been."

She frowned slightly. He wasn't wrong...

"And you feel as though your strength and power is all that matters...? At the sake of everything you threw away..." she paused, her voice growing slightly more bitter. "Do you really see that as a victory ?"

"…Do you really think Leia would accept you if she knew you were spying for the First Order ? For General Hux ? Do you really think the Resistance would forgive you ? Or your so-called friends ?" Kylo Ren shot back and looked at her. She stayed silent for a moment, feeling her chest tighten slightly...

"Maybe not..." she replied quietly. "...But I would have liked to have the chance to come clean..."

She looked away, feeling as though he had a point...

"…You mean you would have liked to have the chance to have a family ? Is that what you think, soldier ? Are you jealous of the life I left behind ?" He asked—amused.

"...Maybe..." she said, with a slight smile, before the smile vanished. "...I know that sounds selfish of me. I know it...But yes, I am jealous..."

"…Does it make you angry ? Resentful ? Hateful ?" He insisted with a slight smirk forming on his lips. She frowned, staying silent for a moment, before nodding her head.

"...Yes, it does. You left behind everything I wanted. The love, the compassion. You had a good childhood, a decent home—yet you threw it away, just to become...This. You don’t even know how good you had it."

Kylo Ren had a rather unexpected reaction. He started laughing—his laugh filling her head before he replied.

"How good I had it ? You have no idea…not the slightest clue…about what you are talking about. You and Rey. You both see what you want to see…"

JR immediately regretted her words and hesitated before looking at him and laid her hand on his.

"Then, explain. I am willing to listen."

Kylo Ren's eyes widened at her hand being placed on his.

"What are you doing...?" he mumbled, staring at her, but not resisting her touch. However, he seemed...solemn somehow, and despite the hatred in his gaze, there was a strange sense of...sorrow ? The anger was still present but...There was something else there as well.

He slowly looked away, not taking his hand back from hers.

"Trying to understand. If you’d let me…" She uttered in a whisper and tilted her head to look at him.

"...Fine..." he eventually sighed, staring up at the stars as he kept his hand in hers. He was silent for several moments, before finally speaking.

"When I was young, there was love in my home...But there was also so much of my mother and father's expectations of a life I was supposed to live. They pressured me..." He stayed silent for a few moments, staring right up at the sky. "That pressure...It broke something inside me..."

"You felt neglected ? Unheard ?" She asked—trying to understand—and her own heart felt for him.

"...They constantly pushed and pushed...They made me feel as though if I didn't become what they wanted me to be, I was a failure..." He sighed heavily. "I know...I know it's not as terrible as what other people have to endure...The neglect was subtle, but it had a weight to it...I could never tell them how I truly felt..."

"…You needed someone to listen." JR smiled weakly.

"Yes, but...who could have listened to a young man with a temper like mine...? Who could have understood what I felt, when I couldn't even really understand it myself...?" He stayed silent for a moment, before he finally spoke again and JR could feel the pain behind his words. "And so...I buried my feelings. My anger, my pain, my fears. I suppressed them all...I repressed so I wouldn't have to face them..."

"…Until it was just too much." She concluded. "…And Kylo Ren was born."

He stayed silent for a second before finally nodding his head.

"Kylo Ren was born...And my path was sealed. One of anger, resentment, and fury. I became the heir of Darth Vader. I had to be stronger than everyone, I couldn't afford any weakness." He stayed silent for a moment, staring right up at the sky as he continued with bitterness in his voice. "Then, I met Snoke..."

"Snoke who listened. Snoke who allowed you to feel. Snoke who…knew how to take advantage of a young man angry at the world." She sighed and started to understand.

"Yes..." he confessed. "Snoke was...The one who gave me an outlet. The one who guided me in how to truly unleash my potential."

He stayed silent for a long time, before quietly continuing.

"I thought...If I had someone who understood me...It wouldn't hurt like it used to..."

He paused and his lips tightened into a thin line.

"...Until I realized that...No matter what...I would always be used. He used me also...Like everybody else..." He lowered his head and JR could feel the anger radiating from him. JR hummed understandingly and squeezed his hand.

"I do not pretend to know anything about the Force…But, from what I understand, it has always been about choices. And I think that it is impossible for someone to be truly good or evil. It is all about balance." She looked at him and smiled. "Why choose either side ? When you can be your own person ? When you can simply choose yourself ?"

She looked away.

"You said I was jealous of you ? Perhaps. But not because you were born in the good side. I do not believe in the good side. Or the bad side. The First Order takes your choices. You do not have a choice. And that is where I feel most jealous of you. Because…I think you had the choice, when I didn’t."

Kylo remained silent for a while.

"...In the beginning, I...I really thought I could find the balance I craved in the Dark Side." he breathed out. "But...The Dark Side was never about balance...Nor about choices...It was about strength, of power...It was about suppression, and oppression..."

His grip on JR's hand only grew stronger, as he continued.

"I did not know that until it was too late..."

She sighed and closed her eyes.

"…I guess we are just two prisoners then." She huffed a laugh. "…Forced to pretend being people we aren’t."

"...We are..." he paused, letting go of her hand. "...We are..."

He turned towards her so his gaze was directed at her again.

"...But...Maybe we don't have to be..."

She tilted her head curiously at him.

"What do you mean ?"

He hesitated before whispering.

"...We do not have to stay as these prisoners..." He took a deep breath, before continuing. "...I've been a prisoner to my own rage, and my own fears...You've been a prisoner to duty and to your obligations...But we don't have to stay as such...We can break free..."

She nodded, but still had some reluctance about this plan of his.

"We could. But, where would we go ?"

He stayed silent for a while as he thought.

"...Anywhere we want," he finally said and smiled "There are so many worlds...So many people...So many possibilities."

He paused, glancing up at the stars.

"...We could be anyone we want..."

She smiled.

"That would be…a possibility. But then, we would just…leave the world to self-destruct ?"

"...What have we achieved, by staying ?" he replied and his eyes met hers. He shrugged slightly, before continuing. "The First Order, the Resistance...So many lives lost...All for nothing."

He laughed bitterly.

"We could leave it all to tear itself apart..."

She frowned a little before asking:

"…What about Rey ? Finn ? Poe ? General Hux ? General Organa ? Are we just meant to pretend their lives do not matter ?"

"...They do matter..." he breathed out quietly. "But what we've been doing so far hasn't made a single difference..."

He paused for a few moments, before finally concluding.

"We may not be the hero...But we do not have to be the villain either..."

JR-6025 smiled wistfully and thought about it. She hadn’t been born to be a hero, she knew that…And yet.

"…And what if I want to be a hero ?" She asked and he chuckled, not really expecting that kind of response from her.

"A hero ? You ?" he said playfully—not believing the stormtrooper would actually want to be a hero.

"And why not ?" She challenged him. "I bet I would make a great hero. The type that makes everything right."

"Oh, you do ?" he said with a teasing voice. "You mean to tell me that you would risk your own life...For complete strangers ?"

She chuckled.

"What ? I already pledged my life to the First Order. Why not pledge it to make…something good ? Do something good ?"

He smirked and mocked.

"And what is it you would do ?...Be a hero ? Kill all the bad people ? Make the galaxy perfect ?"

She frowned and shook her head negatively.

"Not kill all the bad people. Just…give them a choice—make them realise that it is never too late to make the right one." She smiled. "The First Order. General Hux. You…"

"Oh, so you think you can change everyone...Can 'turn' them good ?" he said, scoffing slightly, pretending to be dismissive of her words.

"Hey. I AM a pretty optimistic person." She grinned. "Besides, I know I am still technically currently a bad guy but…I guess I’d like to be a hero. One day."

He chuckled in disbelief, though his voice remained as teasing as before.

"And so, in your version of a galaxy, everyone ends up just being good, huh ?"

Instead of being upset of disappointed at his mocking tone, she decided to play along and grinned.

"Oh yeah. And there’s dancing. And music. And laughter…" She bit back a laugh. "It must sound…very stupid to you, huh ?"

He chuckled.

"It sounds very naive...Very foolish...To assume that people will be just be good like that just because you want them to..." He paused for a moment, and then smirked. "But it is a pleasant thought."

"…Did I mention I imagine General Hux as a candy store owner in that hypothetical scenario of mine ? He would make sure all the candies are in their rightful place. And he’d have this silly little hat. And of course he would be happy too…" She held back a laugh. He laughed along, finding her description to be quite amusing.

"And I assume General Organa would be running her own restaurant, right ?" he said playfully. JR gasped dramatically and whispered with a smile.

"How did you know ?"

"I just had a feeling..." he said playfully with a smirk. He paused for a moment, looking away as a smile spread across his lips, imagining the different scenarios she'd just described. "And so...What of my role in this 'hypothetical scenario?'"

JR started thinking about it before asking with a wide grin.

"What would YOU like to be ?"

His eyes widened at her question and he started thinking about it. In all his years, nobody had ever asked him that…

"...You mean to tell me that in this scenario, I would have a choice ?" he replied, surprised by her words.

"Of course you do !" She replied and Kylo Ren started thinking about it…

"And so, I could become whatever I want ? Do whatever I like ?" he asked, now genuinely starting to think about these things..

"Yup. The sky is the limit." She replied with a smile. "I know it may not be the reality of things, but if you could be…anyone…anything…What would you be ?"

He stayed silent for a while, actually taking the time to think about this. In the past, he’d never really thought about what he wanted...He had just always done what he’d been told, nothing more, nothing less. He thought of his mother, of Leia, of Snoke, of Rey...He thought about Kylo Ren and Ben Solo. And he then realized that he wanted to be none of them.

He wanted to be someone else entirely.

Someone new.

"...I am not sure what I’d be to be honest…" he confessed and sighed softly. "Or who I’d be…"

She smiled and nodded understandingly.

"That’s good too."

He glanced at her.

"...What about you ? What would you be—besides a hero ?" he asked with a teasing grin, staring back at her with curiosity.

"Oh. Hum…" She started thinking about it. "…I…I am not sure either actually. I just know that I’d like to be…happy."

He stayed silent for a moment...Before a small, amused smile slowly formed on his lips.

"Happy..." he said with a chuckle. "That’s all, huh ?"

She chuckled.

"What ? What did you expect ?"

"I don't know..." He replied somewhat softly. "...I just...I was expecting a grand ambition..."

JR sniggered and shook her head negatively.

"No. I would rather leave the great ambitions to you and General Hux."

He laughed at that, a genuine, soft laugh.

"I can hardly say I have great ambitions anymore..." he said softly. "...And I think I would like to be happy too..."

"…Yeah. That would be…a nice dream." She smiled—her eyes staring at the stars. He stayed quiet for a moment beside her, before finally nodding slightly.

"...Yes." he agreed softly. "It would be..."

She smiled sadly before looking at him.

"So…Where are you ? I mean…physically speaking ? Did you get your hands on the second part of the map to Skywalker ?"

He stayed silent for a few moments, before finally speaking.

"Yes, I have..." he murmured.

She nodded.

"…I see. So I guess Rey must be coming back to the Resistance camp now ?"

He stayed silent for a few moments, before finally answering.

"I suppose she will be...But...What exactly happens next will be up to her..."

JR sighed.

"…It’s scary. To think that the fate of the war resides in the choices of one young scavenger girl ?"

"...It is..." he agreed quietly, glancing away from her for a moment. "...She could choose to side with the Order...She could side with the Resistance...Or she could...She could choose something else..."

"…Yes. I guess she could." She looked at him. "…If she chooses you, what would happen ?"

He was taken aback by the question.

"If Rey sides with me ? Then..." he thought about this for a moment. "...Then maybe we could change this path...We could...Change the galaxy...Create something new..."

"…Create something new." She smiled. "I like the sound of that."

"...Yes..." he replied softly. "...There's so much that could be done...We could..."

He paused for a moment, before finally speaking again.

"...We could make this galaxy a better place."

"…Do you love her ?" JR’s question hit him like an X-fighter hitting him a full speed. For a long time, he stared at her, his brain searching for an answer. But the truth was...He didn’t really know what love was. Could he recognize romantic love when he felt it ? Did he even feel it ?

"I don’t know..." he finally replied with an exhausted sigh.

"…Well, whatever happens…I do hope that you’ll be happy at the end." JR smiled at him. "Whatever happens, we will see the end of this war."

"...We will..." he replied quietly, staring back at her gently. "...That is something I look forward to, at least..."

"…Yes. Me too." She then hesitated before asking. "May I ask a favour though ?"

He stayed silent for a few moments, thinking about it.

"...What is your favour ?" he asked, curious as to what the stormtrooper could possibly ask of him.

She looked nervous as she asked.

"…I know you and General Hux never saw eye to eye. But…I would like to ask you to…look over him. Please."

He stayed quiet for a moment, considering the question.

"...For what reason ?" he finally asked.

She sighed. She wouldn’t admit that she was planning on leaving…or that she was afraid that General Hux would die without protection.

"…He is more fragile than he lets on." She finally explained. "And I guess…I sometimes worry about him."

That got a chuckle from him.

"Fragile ?" he said, a smirk spreading across his face as he thought about the idea of Hux being 'fragile'. "...You...You want me to look out for him ?"

She nodded in agreement.

"Yes. He has…no one to protect him now."

He remained silent for a few moments, thinking it over.

"...I doubt Hux would appreciate me looking out for him," he finally said with a soft chuckle.

"I know." She smiled. "And that is the very reason why I am asking you. Because even though you cannot stand each other, you have more in common that you’d think."

"Do we, now ?" he asked, chuckling in amusement at the odd remark of the stormtrooper. "And what exactly do we have in common ?"

She hesitated before telling him.

"You were both children when you were forced to become weapons for Snoke. You both are brilliant minds, but who were forced to take the wrong choices. And I guess…You both used to be children…wishing for someone to listen."

His expression softened as he heard these words...His hands fidgeted slightly...

"...Are you asking me...To feel sympathy for him ?" he finally asked, his tone a bit softer now.

"No." She smiled reassuringly at him. "I am asking you to make sure you both survive."

He stayed silent for a few moments, considering her words.

"...I suppose you do have a point..." he finally said. "...And if we survive...?"

"Live."

"Live..." he repeated softly. "Just...Live...?"

"Yup. It’s that simple. Just…live."

He smiled at that, feeling an odd sense of relief wash over him.

"…Then I guess I will agree to help...But..." he paused for a moment before continuing. "...I have one condition for you."

"Which is ?" She looked at him and Kylo Ren suddenly seemed very serious.

"If the Resistance and the First Order find peace..." he started. "...And...We survive..."

He paused for a moment.

"...You help look out for Rey..."

JR was momentarily stunned, but she smiled.

"Deal. But, I do not think she needs much protecting."

He scoffed at that mildly.

"She doesn't need protecting ?" he chuckled. "That girl can be very reckless, from what I have seen..."

JR chuckled.

"She makes me think of someone…"

"Oh, really ?" he said, smirking again. "Someone like me, perhaps?"

JR bit back a laugh.

"Mr. I had to save from a snowstorm."

He chuckled as well, though there was an amused tone to his laugh.

"Oh, come on..." he said playfully. "Can't you let me just forget about that one time...?"

She laughed.

"Nope. I shall remind you till the day I die. Do you realise how I had to DRAG you all the way to the Finalizer ?"

"I do...Yes..." he muttered, lowering his head. He stayed silent for a couple of moments, and then chuckled softly. "Can we…Please…Can we just forget about it...?"

She smiled.

"Alright."

She then looked back at her tent.

"I guess I should go and get some rest before sunrise."

She looked at him.

"And…I guess you should too."

"You're right..." he mumbled. "...I will get some rest..."

He stayed silent for a couple of moments, then looked over at her, his tone a bit softer now.

"Thank you..."

She chuckled.

"For what ?"

"For...Listening to me..." he said softly, a gentle smile forming on his lips.

She smiled back.

"Good night, Lord Ren."

And with that, they both returned to their own realities. Ren returned to his body on the Finalizer and JR went back to her tent in the Resistance camp. And the both of them went to sleep...thinking about the world that could have been but would never be.
