    Summary

    For a moment, they were silent, regarding each other as enemies, as strangers. Vel remembered all the other times they’d watched each other through this mutual force field, measuring, judging. Back then, Kleya looked down on her with eyes like pitless wells of disdain, her dark-stained mouth set hard on a flat, unyielding mask, not a hair out of place, not a wrinkle on her Empire-chic business attire.

    "This is what revolution looks like, Vel."

    But sometimes it looked like this: a black eye, a head wound, tears streaking through a nose bleed.

    Summary

    "When I woke up, Bix was – she left on the first transport from Yavin this morning. And then I had to deal with the report to Draven, and there were the technicians: I just had them set up a deprogrammed KX security droid in our home. Anyway, it’s a long story.”

    “Sounds like it,” Melshi replied. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, searching for some version of “so, speaking of stories, Bix told me she was going away” that wouldn’t land like a slap to the face, after all that. He didn’t find it in time.

    .....

    Or, Bix finds Melshi before she leaves Yavin, and nothing gets simpler.

    Summary

    "Jyn stood there for several minutes, unsure what exactly she was waiting for. Maybe for her skin to finally slough off her body and leave her in peace. Maybe for Cassian to reappear again, the way he’d collided into her life over and over since their first meeting a mere few months ago. Maybe for her idiot brain to finally come to its senses, and stop making her act like the heroine in one of the ridiculous Coruscanti novels she used to download behind her mother’s back."

    The price of resurrection.

    All Kleya Marki wanted was a quiet holiday week at the lake.

    All Ruescott Melshi wanted was to survive - and maybe even enjoy - the Fourth of July with his friends.

    They're both about to get more than they bargained for.

    For Kleyshi Week, Day 7

    Summary

    Even in stillness, her mind was always working. Always in motion. She was everywhere at once, reaching across the far ends of the galaxy.

    Yavin breathes around her and demands her to be still.

    She isn’t needed here. There is no use for the sharpened edges she’d built into herself.

    She just has to exist.

    She doesn’t know how to do that.

    --

    Kleya tries to adjust to her new life. Lost and unmoored, she develops an unexpected bond with the last person she expected.
