Shattered Glass and Sandstorms
An AU with Rey as part of the First Order, based on this photoset by the immensely talented @greyjoyss. In case you were curious, this is why I ask for short prompts, because this is SUPER LONG and got WILDLY OUT OF HAND. Crossposted to my AO3 here.
She isn’t a Skywalker—or maybe she is. She can’t remember, so does it matter? She is herself.
Her mothers scream when she’s born. Her human mother screams in effort and pain. The other screams in ecstasy, and somewhere in the galaxy the last Jedi’s flesh-and-blood hand shakes as the Force writhes with the birth of a new sun. To the eyes of the minimally Force-sensitive nurse, the baby girl is wreathed in starlight, her wide and tearless eyes wandering over things unseen.
Friendly reminder that I wrote this and I’m exceptionally smug about it, y’all.
