The Marriage Rites of the Jedi [closed to niteofren]
There is a level of awareness that Rey has regarding her lack of guilt for stealing the sacred Jedi Texts from their generations old home on the island. That being said, it's often dulled by the knowledge of Master Skywalker's insistence that there was no more need for the Jedi when she knew that there was, or at least was incredibly sure that there was.
She had made an attempt or two to read through the old texts, but they were not exactly what could be called page turners, and the heavy going dry information was made only worse by the fact that age had dulled the appearance of the text, making it hard to make out what was actually written. That was the main reason she was so sure she had gotten it wrong. After all, everyone knew that the Jedi never married, so why would there be mention of marriage rites in theirs texts?
But they were there and that sinking feeling in her stomach made it clear to her that no, she wasn't misreading. If this was right...
Did he know? He had read these, hadn't he? Or, at least the Histories? Could that be why he made that offer?
Rey had thought that reading the texts would help clear her confusion, but now she felt more confused than ever

He would have done more than save the fleet if he'd known. He would have left with Rey.
"Hux would take over. He'd build another Starkiller."
no subject
She hadn't mentioned him leaving, he brought it up on his own. Was that... Did it mean that he wanted to leave, wanted to come back to them?
"Ben, with your help, he wouldn't get close."
no subject
Hux had been trying to push to make another superweapon already. Kylo still didn't understand why since the Republic was gone and the Resistance was almost dead.
"You said my mother is recovering. She will be all right? Is there..."
Is there anything I can do? But what can he do with things how they are? He can't go to her without risking her life. Hux would likely find a way to organize an attack while Kylo was still there.
no subject
Maybe Ben has a point?
"We've been talking a lot," she said. Who the we was did not need to be stated, of course. "She's ... trying to rebuild a Rebellion, but I don't know if her heart's in it." Rey could feel Leia wanting to ask about Ben, but she never did.
"I haven't told her. About this. Any of it."
no subject
"Tell her to go ahead. Tell her I'll do my best to give her time."
no subject
"...Ben..."
no subject
"Please..."
no subject
She nods.
"Okay."
no subject
"Thank you."
no subject
They knew what Leia was like, after all. If she thought there was a chance for getting her son away from the First Order, she would take it.
no subject
He did know what his mother was like. It was a foolish risk but one he needed to take.
no subject
But she would try, of course she would. This was just a situation that none of them needed to be in. Her hand still rested on the book and she curled her fingers into the pages.
"It's like the galaxy is set against us."
She wasn't entirely sure who she meant by us, but the sentiment felt right.

He shuddered. It had been cruel. For the first time, he discovered Snoke was telling the truth. He'd started listening after that. It had been his only way to avoid another nasty surprise.
no subject
"There's no good reason to not tell you."
no subject
He sighed. "Apparently, they didn't see a reason not to lie about it even though it effected me as much as them."
