--- FLASHBACK 10 YEARS AGO ---
Rey met Finn the first day at Takodana Uni, when they were assigned to the same studio by mistake. They bonded over their mutual love of shanty rock and cottagecore, and spent the rest of the term jamming together.

Maz’s was the hottest student bar in town. It had sticky floors and threadbare sofas, and bottomless ciders. It also held a weekly karaoke night which was legendary. Finn had signed them up, but mysteriously disappeared just as their time had come.

But being up on the stage wasn’t the horrible thing she thought it was going to be. After switching her song choice to Fleetwood Mac, she had closed her eyes to the lights and eyes and let the music take her over.

7. #stylefic
It was just like sitting in her bedroom with her guitar, humming tunes to the poems scribbled in her margins. She let the music flow through her, and when she finished, she let the swell carry her to the feet of a very large, very beautiful, dark haired man.

A little before and after

11. #stylefic
Rey couldn’t believe what she was seeing. This made absolutely no sense. Her inbox was overflowing, and not just on instagram. Scrolling back she found the live stream from Ben, her heart beating a macarena against her ribs.

12. #stylefic
Her fingers were shaking as she opened her messages, ignoring all the photos and requests until she found Ben’s name.

💜💜 That's all for today 💜💜

ALSO just a little note to say these flashbacks are not linear. It's meant to be a bit all over the place 😊💜
