For 1sentence.
Fandom: Star Wars
Pairing: Jacen Solo/Tenel Ka
Theme set: Gamma
Rating: PG-13
#01: Ring
If he couldn’t give her a ring, then a necklace would just have to do.
#02: Hero
They known from day one that being a hero meant making sacrifices - they just hadn’t realised that their biggest sacrifice would be each other.
#03: Memory
He knew with certainty what his favourite memory of her was, but he’d been so utterly out of it with shock at the time that he actually couldn’t remember it at all.
#04: Box
She glared at the fuzebox on her ship, overloading one cyberfuze after another, and utterly refused to admit that even worse than being jealous, she was lonely.
#05: Run
The running cleared her head, because it was the one thing in which he could not follow her.
#06: Hurricane
He crashed through her, blew through her like some of wild force of nature that she was powerless to stop, and she was left helpless for the first time in her life and hating herself for it.
#07: Wings
Somehow, miraculously, safe and seated between the thranta’s wings, Jacen’s first coherent thought was a stab of relief that he hadn’t seen her for the last time after all.
#08: Cold
She had thought she’d experienced real cold while on Ryloth, but Jacen had been with her then, and it was nothing compared to the cold she felt when he was no longer there.
#09: Red
Her hair draped across his skin, reminding him of blood, and he marveled that they were even here at all.
#10: Drink
He had somehow become like water to her, and his presence was nothing if not essential.
#11: Midnight
He tried to laugh at himself, but he found it anything but amusing - she was sleeping just several standard metres from him, and yet she still wasn’t at his side.
#12: Temptation
She had never been more tempted to laugh at Jacen than when she saw the utterly befuddled expression that marked their first kiss.
#13: View
She kissed him in full view of the glowering, stunned, would-be courtiers; and she hoped he’d remember the day he was the shocked one, instead.
#14: Music
Despite how long he had anticipated it, despite how many times he had stood there with a goofy grin and waited for it…he had still never imagined how beautiful her laugh really was.
#15: Silk
Her sheets were the finest silk, and Jacen couldn’t help grinning as she wrinkled her nose at them and suggested the floor as a more preferable alternative.
#16: Cover
She was grateful for her thick, flowing, mass of hair, because when she couldn’t not smile at his jokes, it was the sole thing that she could hide her amusement behind.
#17: Promise
She was shaking when she threw herself into his arms, and somehow that frightened him more than even the fall, and he suddenly wanted nothing more than to whisper in her ear, promise her that he would never, ever, leave - but instead, he held her and laughed, and knew that she would be just as reassured.
#18: Dream
His brain kept insisting that the previous night had been a dream, but then he saw the long strands of red-gold hair still clinging to his clothes, and he hadn’t grinned so idiotically since he was sixteen.
#19: Candle
He had no idea how long he was left there, held in the Embrace of Pain - all he knew was that she remained the single light in his dark, and that no matter how much he was broken, together they were still something perfectly whole.
#20: Talent
Her pride did not appreciate the realisation that his talent for soothing animals extended to her as well.
#21: Silence
She hadn’t said a word afterward, but laid her head over his heart, her hair drifting up into his face, and she laughed and Jacen clutched at her and never wanted to let go.
#22: Journey
At first she had thought herself lucky to be sharing this journey with him, but she had soon realised that perhaps he was the journey, in and of himself.
#23: Fire
Jacen ached to see what the fire looked like reflected in her eyes, but he forced himself not to turn his head and look, and therefore missed the glances that she was sneaking at him in return.
#24: Strength
She thought it ironic that he respected her for her strength, but yet she had none of it when he was involved.
#25: Mask
She never laughed at his jokes because she was afraid that if she couldn’t hide the fact she was actually amused, she wouldn’t be able to hide anything from him at all.
#26: Ice
Maybe it was only the cold numbing his brain, but Jacen couldn’t think of anything more beautiful than the sight of ice crystals sparkling all through her hair.
#27: Fall
Sometimes, she detested herself for having the strength to stand when he did nothing but fall.
#28: Forgotten
That night, she hadn’t acted like she wanted words, but still he whispered them into her hair, whispered that he had never forgotten her and would always come back…because he knew that she needed them anyway.
#29: Dance
They sparred like they were dancing, and Jacen could lose himself in the grace of her and just how perfectly their movements matched.
#30: Body
She could escape him in nothing; the memories of him were imprinted even onto her flesh.
#31: Sacred
Her title, her crown, her position - it was all supposed to be sacred, but yet he was the only thing she felt inclined to honour.
#32: Farewells
There had been so many things she’d wanted to tell him when they said goodbye, but instead she just let herself laugh at his final joke, and she knew he’d understood.
#33: World
They had helped save so many worlds from falling, but yet they couldn’t save their own from falling apart.
#34: Formal
Other members of the strike team thought what she called him was ridiculously formal, but they both understood that “Jacen, my friend” was as close to sweet nothings as they could get.
#35: Fever
She sank to the ship’s floor and finally, finally, finally felt heat began to course through her - but a small part of her wasn’t sure whether it had more to do with the warmth of the deckplates themselves, or from the boy sitting on them beside her, and the hastily shoved-aside memory of being in his arms.
#36: Laugh
She laughed all through their first time, and far from being insulted, it was then that Jacen knew he was loved.
#37: Lies
She fixed Jacen with a stern, slightly puzzled stare, and said, “I do not understand why you always tell me such jokes when I do not find them funny.”
#38: Forever
She hadn’t needed the traditional methods of roping and kidnapping to lay a claim on him that he knew would last forever.
#39: Overwhelmed
Blaster bolts, yes, he’d been surprised.
#40: Whisper
The nobles whispered, stared, were appalled, and she snickered to herself and pressed even closer, sensing Jacen’s amusement as well.
#41: Wait
She had waited five years for him - or over a decade, depending on how you looked at it - and she would be damned if she had to wait any more.
#42: Talk
The first time they ever talked, Jacen had tried telling her a joke, and Tenel Ka looked at him like he was an idiot, and Jacen suddenly knew that besides becoming a Jedi, he had a new life goal.
#43: Search
She knew what she had seen, but still her mind searched for him - searched for any proof that she was somehow still whole.
#44: Hope
When Tenel Ka said, “I hope you will stay the night,” Jacen knew that she really meant, “I have actually been plotting this for months, only waiting for you to finally show up, and we both know that you cannot say no.”
#45: Eclipse
Her entire life had been planned out; her duties, her goals, her hopes - and suddenly this strange new smiling sun appeared and eclipsed it all.
#46: Gravity
Gravity had almost stolen him from her once, but it always brought them back together in the end - after all, he was nothing if not her world, and the sole thing she revolved around.
#47: Highway
It wasn’t that he liked being the navigator, but that he was afraid she’d think him useless if he didn’t do something.
#48: Unknown
She couldn’t help keeping secrets from him, if she didn’t even know how to be honest with herself.
#49: Lock
On some level, he knew that if he could make her laugh, he could break her open, break her heart open…and so he made a fool of himself trying.
#50: Breathe
It was a city in the clouds, but yet suddenly, all the air seemed gone.
