the sons and daughters of endlessness came to me {outline}

i solved all my plot problems by making this a sith!leia who wants to murder the force AU, which is great for me and also awful for the galaxy at large. i thought i was showing Great Restraint with the number of female characters in the supporting cast ('look!' i said delightedly to nina, 'hera and aphra are only in three sections of this outline!') but the mods are rightfully concerned that it's ... maybe not that shippy of a piece. which, i was kinda going for the understated cold comfort of scandinoir shit-we-have-to-work-together unconventional partnerships but it's a reylo anthology and that's ... fair. i think a lot of their relationship development is buried in the section titled 'the part i haven't figured out yet'

summary: leia tries to murder the force. ben tries to save his mother. rey is torn between the woman who promises her power and the boy who promises her salvation. no one is quite as alive as they should be. (a scandinoir au set largely in the unknown regions, featuring cosmic-entity!rey, sith!leia, sorta-jedi!ben, sith artifacts, a supporting cast of hera syndulla, chelli lona aphra, and amilyn holdo, and maybe the death of the force.)
