Summary:
They make the trip under the idea that they're in control. Coruscant. Finally, the great, triumphant return. It's a lie of course. They're being dragged back, pulled by an unseen force. History. Memory.
Time. Always leading back to here.

Kleya, Vel and the yawning reach of their past.

We can't believe that it's over already! Messed up that all good things must come to an end. </3
Thank you to every single person who took the time to contribute. It doesn't matter whether it was once, twice, or throughout the entire week; we're so grateful that our small community came together and celebrated Vel, Cinta, and their love for one another.

She watched a boy die and Luthen used it to teach her about loss.
About how you lose, how you have to, over and over. Until you win, or until you stop.

POLLY WRIGHT & BEN JACKSON
↳ Doctor Who: The War Machines (1966)
GREEN: Do you know what has happened to [Ben]? Answer!
POLLY: He escaped.
GREEN: How do you know?
POLLY: I saw him.
GREEN: You saw him and you did not give the alarm?
POLLY: No.
GREEN: Why not?
POLLY: I…don’t know.
GREEN: You are working for the machines, you are an instrument only. You have no friends, no will of your own!
POLLY: Friends… He was my friend…
“Other people don’t matter. All these guards, all these guns, it’s just a big game to you, isn’t it? Gives you a sense of power. You’re not complete unless you’ve got a gun in your hand.”
