What if your worst enemy could appear before you without warning? See your location? Read your mind? The bond between Rey and the new Supreme Leader is growing and it's dangerous. They both have much to conceal from each other... and yet the Force seems to make a point of bringing them together at their most vulnerable moments. Why do this? Why expose mortal enemies to each other's weaknesses and fears? Read and find out! This is a post TLJ Star Wars romance to help tide you over until Episode IX. The story tries to stay true to the film characters with a delicious slow burn. Rey is a woman of action and Kylo/Ben is a man in love but not mushy. Also an adventure story with some action scenes and a healthy dose of speculative Resistance and First Order plot. Chapters alternate between Rey and Kylo Ren's perspective. All rated T except for one chapter. Story cover by jealouis. Complete.

Kylo Ren does not die on Exegol. Instead, he returns to the Rebel base with Rey as Ben Solo. Will everyone see his newfound light as Rey does? Or is forgivness impossible? Each part is for a change in perspective.
