    Summary

    When a star collapses, there are three stages: black hole, neutron star, white dwarf.

    No one – well, almost no one – in the whole galaxy burns as brightly as Supreme Leader Ren. But all men, like stars, must die.

    In other words: this is Star Wars, by way of Sliding Doors. Or perhaps Star Wars, by way of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Variations on the inevitable, is what I’m saying.

    Because there are a lot of different ways a person can ‘die’... y'know?

    Summary

    She lingers on his doorway, her eyebrows raised, her lips curved in a sarcastic smile. "It always warms my heart to notice how happy you are to see me".

    "Your presence is a balm to my very soul," he replies, just as flatly as before.

    Rey scrunches her nose again, as if even the remote possibility of Ben being happy to see her was that much of an awful image, and Ben – well, he's not exactly offended by that because he doesn't care about Rey (he doesn't) but it doesn't really do wonders for his self-esteem either.

    Which is why he ends up asking her, quite rudely, "What the hell are you doing here anyway?"

    -- or: five times Rey initiated physical contact and one time Ben did, and how they went from enemies to lovers.

    Summary

    “I can see your artistic voice starting to emerge.” He’s quiet for a while, considering. “But you’re still holding back, like with your landscape. I can feel your creativity, your enjoyment of the medium, but it’s missing something deeper.”

    Osha’s heart rate picks up speed. The problem is that her most overwhelming emotions are all dangerous. “Maybe I just can’t go deeper.”

    “Can’t? Or don’t want to?” Qimir turns from her painting, looking down at her. His dark eyes pierce into hers, full of understanding, perceiving her to a degree that leaves her aching. “What are you so afraid of?”

    ---

    College Sophomore Osha is perfectly content with her choice to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree. But when she needs an elective to round out her coursework for the semester, Mae convinces her to join Intro to Studio Painting. There she encounters Professor Qimir Stranger, who turns her whole world upside down.
