The Last Jedi - The Ground Shifts

Hope is not a feeling. It is a choice. Luke Skywalker has been making it his whole life.
When Rey arrives on Ahch-To, she expects a legend. What she finds is more valuable - a teacher who has stared into the darkness and refused, stubbornly and at great personal cost, to blink. Alongside Han Solo, very much alive and characteristically impossible, Luke trains her in the ways of the Force, and begins to remember who he is.
Far across the galaxy, Kylo Ren serves the First Order. Obeys Snoke. Tries not to feel the pull of something he cannot name - a presence, warm and fierce and infuriatingly persistent, that reaches him even across the stars.
Then comes a moment that nobody planned, and nobody will forget.
In the chaos of Snoke's throne room, Rey and Kylo fight side by side - and for a few extraordinary, heartbreaking minutes, Ben Solo almost comes home.
Almost.
The Resistance survives. Luke steps back into the light. And Rey, racing across the galaxy on the Falcon with people she has come to love, begins to understand that what she feels for Ben Solo is something she cannot outrun.
She's not entirely sure she wants to.
The ground shifts. The second chapter of a retelling - written in collaboration with two roleplayers, whose distinctive voices gave life mainly to Ben/Kylo, and to Leia and Han. As for myself, I chiefly voiced Luke and Rey. All other characters have been performed in turn, according to the needs.
