    Summary

    Ben is an ex-marine, missing an arm and working in Lando's roadside bar. He doesn't smile, and he doesn't talk to people, but he watches Rey hustle men at pool four nights a week. In fact, he can't seem to stop watching her.

    Summary

    Old Spice Volcano with Charcoal deodorant and antiperspirant smells like citrus, amber, and the bravery it takes to approach a mountain of lava and think “I got this.”

    Summary

    Ben shrugs, nonchalant. “If you’re such an expert, show me. Teach me.”

    Rey’s eyes go wide. “I’m not going to teach you how to get girls to fuck—”

    “No, seriously. Let me demonstrate my best game, and you can tell me what I’m doing wrong."

     

    Or: Rey accuses Ben of having no game, and then gets proven terribly, horribly wrong.

    Summary

    There were daffodils blooming alongside the road the day her newest neighbor moved into Takodana Mobile Home Park. Rey had absentmindedly noted the flowers when she left for work in the early morning, had passed right by Finn and Rose’s former slot with barely a glance as she sipped at her second cup of coffee. There had been nothing there, then, save weeds and nodding flowers and dirt.

    On her return, a tidy- and tiny- Craftsman on wheels waited, a sleek black car parked neatly beside.
