Trope FMK 'Leaders of the Rebellion' Mon Mothama, Bail Organa, Leia Organa
Slow Burn - Mon Mothma? She’s always struck me as principled, steady, still. I think that lends itself well to a slow burn. I don’t do well with stillness, with the sort of deliberate, slow way she lives her life, but maybe—with her guidance—I can learn.
Fake Date - Bail. There’s something about him that makes him just perfect for the sort of pining fake dating entails. He’s always gentlemanly, always restrained. There’s a brief touch to the small of my back once, a fleeting hand on mine twice, and that’s all I’ve gotten from him in years. And then we’re pretending to be engaged, and touching him is like drowning, only my lungs are filling with honey instead of water and I’m choking on the sweetness as I breathe in more. It’s torture, and it’s worse because I can’t fault him for it, I can’t hate him for it. Of course it’s pretend for him, because he’s brave and clever and kind and compassionate and I’m—me. But just for once, just for one night, I let myself pretend, and the honey is in my mouth and on my skin and I don’t care that I’m drowning.
