"I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE SOLDIER, WHO NEVER BLOWS HIS COMPOSURE. EVEN THOUGH I HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE WHOLE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS."
The Resistance has fallen. With few numbers left, General Leia Organa sends out a distress call to all systems for any supporters still out there. A single transmission is sent back, containing the few words, "The Resistance is still out there. It's burning in Poyter." Poe Dameron and BB-8 are sent on this mission alone, to find the hidden hero and kindle the flame of the Rebellion. What they find on the treacherous, lethal planet of Poyter, however, they would have never expected in their wildest dreams.
Poe has never had to deal with someone like this before. Someone who is reckless as he, passionate as he, but challenges his every move and keeps him on his toes. Someone who reminds him he is human, not a pawn in the galactic war. She's not the type of girl that puts up with shit. She stands up for what she believes in till the end whole-heartedly.. And she believes in him, even when he thinks he is too broken to love. For so long Poe has stored his trauma down beneath the surface to let stew, churn, and boil, but maybe there's still hope. In love and war, that is all anyone can ever ask for.

I did everything I was supposed to do. I trained hard; I learned strategy; I kept my secrets buried deep. But there had been nothing in my training that could have prepared me for a dark lord taking interest in me. As I stood before the stone carved statue of a long dead queen of Naboo, the feel of Kylo Ren's lips still on mine, I couldn't help but wonder how I got there. How me, a person of little importance possessing no love for the institution we served, had ended up in bed with the embodiment of evil.

This story is written in first person and alternates between you (Maia) and Kylo. It is highly smutty, but tells a genuine story.
The inspiration behind this story is my desire to see Kylo written differently. I love the Ren fics I've read, but I wanted to hash out a less abusive Kylo. He is still a dark lord, and he still doesn't wish to be in the light. But when it comes to love, can Kylo be soft?
A lot of the story follows canon. The biggest difference is there is no Rey. No hate to the character, she just doesn't fit into this retelling!
