    The Brat and the Monster

    — or —

    Literary Darling Rey / Literary Critic Ben

     

    First-time novelist and recent literary darling, Rey Palpatine, drags her heels through yet another book reading event. When she steps outside for air, she is confronted by the only thing she dreads more than the bourgeois chatter of cocktail parties: the standoffish son of her editor — and literary critic of the decade — Ben Solo. And Rey could have been happy to see him. If only he wasn’t so much of a monster.

    Summary

    He points angrily to the badge embroidered on his chest. “I’m with the Fire Department!”

    “Okay, and? Is there a fucking fire?”

    “There’s an open hydrant,” Ben says, gesturing with the wrench again. Apparently the little fucks think that’s funny too.

    “There’s been an open hydrant all morning,” the girl says, around a dripping spoonful of bright-orange helado. “So why’s it an emergency now?”


    Ben's come to close an open hydrant. The kids playing in it don't want him to, and a pretty girl on the street is backing them up. [Originally written for twitter.]

    Summary

    They barely have time to disembark the ship on Ajan Kloss before cuffs are slapped on Ben’s wrists. Two burly looking men Rey doesn’t recognize hold him up as they secure the bindings; his leg is broken and he has hardly enough strength to keep his eyes open, let alone stand.

    “He needs to be put into bacta,” Rey barks at them, lifting Ben’s chin as his head lolls forward.

    “He’ll go wherever Commander D’Acy orders him to go,” the man on his left replies, staring at Ben’s near-lifeless form with simmering contempt. “Trial, then execution, I’d wager.”

    Summary

    it feels so scary getting old
    we can talk it so good
    we can make it so divine
    we can talk it good
    how you wish it would be all the time

    or

    Ben and Rey grew up together, and Rey may or may not be getting drunk when they go out because it hurts to watch him with his girlfriend. But he'd always take care of her, and he will tonight.
