Summary
In the future, when Ben looks back on this day, he'll recognize it for what it is. A nexus point. A clear moment in time delineating his life into a Before and an After. A moment so profound his life is irrevocably altered.
But that's in the future, yet to happen and understood for its significance.

Summary
When Rey shuts their bond after the Battle of Crait, Kylo Ren shuts it right back. When she reaches out to him one quiet night, it’s too little too late. He keeps the bond closed.
Despondent and isolated as the Supreme Leader of the First Order, he finally decides to take his own advice and let the past die. He’ll escape. Disguise his identity and take a shuttle to the remote reaches of the galaxy, where he can live free of the responsibilities he never wanted in the first place.
But while he thinks he’s taken care of each and every detail, he’s forgotten one thing.
The Force has a mysterious sense of humor--and Ben Solo doesn't stand a chance.

Summary
Ben has a few surprises in store for Rey on their first anniversary. The concept is mostly foreign to her; marriages hadn't really been a thing on Jakku, much less anniversaries, but it seems important to him, so she'll play along. For his sake. Because she loves him. Plus, if breakfast in bed is one of the surprises, she's not going to complain - even if it means they have to put aside their duties as Galactic Emperor and Empress for the day.
