Day 9 - Life Day Damerey Celebration

Prompt: Remembrance

Summary: Rey and Poe attend a memorial for their mentor.

Warnings: Too many feelings? Talk of death.

AO3

Mirrin Prime wasn’t a particularly special world. Like thousands of habitable planets, it consisted of various ecosystems, including mountain ranges, oceans, deserts, and steppes. It’s oxygen rich atmosphere and moderate gravity made it perfect for those sentients that survived best in that environment, which included more than 90% of known intelligent species in the galaxy. It had in its past been home to both a Rebel Base and a New Republic base, and now was the official home of the newly restored Republic.

It had been the last base Poe Dameron had been assigned to before he left the New Republic and he hadn’t been back since then, but the event that had been held here earlier today was something he refused to miss.

He stood looking up at the impressive but modest memorial. Made of granite, it stood about three meters tall and was in the shape of the primary tower from the palace in Aldera. It was dedicated to Leia Organa. Her name was centered in large letters about half-way up the tower. Lower down, in slightly smaller print, were the names of her husband and son.

Poe stared at Ben Solo’s name for a long time, resentment competing with understanding. He knew why Ben’s name had been included on this memorial. Most of the galaxy had no clue Leia’s only child had become Kylo Ren. Most believed he had died with several other young Jedi when Luke Skywalker’s temple had been destroyed on Ossus years ago by Kylo Ren. Those that did know had either died during the war or had chosen to remain silent on the subject. It didn’t really matter now, did it?

He took a deep breath and looked back up at Leia’s name. She would have wanted it this way, he thought. As much as she knew Kylo Ren had to be defeated, she had still loved her son. And according to Rey, it was her love for her son that had helped in that defeat. Rey had seen the change in him at the moment Leia died, and he had later given his own life for Rey’s on Exegol.

It was the latter action that made Poe keep his silence about the true identity of Kylo Ren, and only that action. He would never forgive the man. And Rey would never ask him to.

He felt a person come up behind him and knew without looking that it was Rey. She had been taking to Chancellor Chaurasia when he had wandered back over to the memorial, but he knew she had seen him leave. The earlier ceremony had included speeches from them both. Larma D’Acy had also spoken. Chewbacca was also a guest of honor, but he had refused to speak, knowing he would be unable to control his emotions. Poe understood; he had barely been able to keep from crying while he spoke, and listening to Rey, who had followed him, had made him cry.

“Are you ready to go?” Rey’s asked softly from behind him.

He nodded and turned to her. “Yes, please.” He was so done with this. While he appreciated the honor the Republic was showing his late mentor, he understood the politics behind this act as well, and he wanted to get away before certain senators and senator-wannabes tried to corner them, schmoozing and begging for their support. While Poe had long ago hung up his Generalship, he and his Jedi wife were still heroes in the eyes of the Republic’s elite.

Taking Rey’s hand, they began walking toward the speeder that would take them back to their hotel. They would stay the night and head back to Yavin in the morning. Back home.

“What were you talking to Chaurasia about?” he asked.

“I was getting her approval for some additions to this memorial,” she said with a smile. “I want to bring two Uneti saplings here as soon as they are old enough. We can plant them on either side of the tower.”

Poe felt joy sweep up through him. “That is a wonderful idea!” Rey and Poe’s father Kes had been carefully cultivating saplings from the Dameron Uneti tree in hopes of planting them at various locations throughout the galaxy. Mirrin Prime would be a perfect place.

“I thought you’d like that,” Rey grinned at him. Then she became serious. “It does mean we’ll have to come back, though.” She knew he had no interest in becoming involved with the current government, preferring to stay on the outside, keeping watch to ensure nothing like the First Order ever rose again.

Poe glanced back at the memorial. “Of course, we’ll come back. Leia deserves our remembrance.”

Mandalore and Uneti trees headcanon.

In the Old Republic era, Uneti trees, such as the Great Tree in the Jedi temple on Coruscant and the tree on Ahch-To, naturally grew and thrived on Mandalore and its moon, Concordia.

poe grew up in the massassi ruins with a literal force sensitive tree in his backyard. finn never knew where he came from. when poe brought finn to his childhood home, knowing that he’d be able to connect to the force-charged environment, he never expected the tree to light up. or for finn to translate what it was saying: hey poe. long time no see.

Day 3 - Life Day Damerey Celebration

Prompt: Uneti Tree

Summary: Poe tries to take a nap under the Uneti Tree on Yavin IV

Warnings: Family fluff. My Rey and Poe love making babies. Deal with it.

AO3

Poe lay on his back in the shade of the Uneti Tree, staring up at the branches swaying above him in the gentle breeze. Suddenly, a spindly little human arm appeared in his line of sight. Snorting in amusement, Poe called up toward the top of the tree. “You better hope your mother doesn’t catch you up there!”

A little face surrounded by a mop of dark curly hair peered down at him from the same branch the little arm had come from. “Mama knows,” was the response.

Poe’s eyebrows went up. “She does, does she?”

There was a brief pause. “Well, wouldn’t the tree tell her?”

Poe frowned. “I don’t think it works like that, Tem. I think she could feel if something happened to this tree that hurt it or made it very happy, but I don’t think it can tattle on you.”

“He’s right,” said a voice off to his left. He turned to see Rey walking toward them, little Leia walking along beside her holding her hand. “The tree can’t tattle, but your sister can.”

As Leia let go of her mother’s hand and ran toward her father, Rey stopped and looked up at Tem. “Please come down from there. Slowly.”

Poe sat up and caught Leia as she dived at him, giggling. “Did you tell on your brother?” he asked as he started tickling her.

“Yes!” Leia squealed, her laughter getting louder as the tickling continued.

“That’s the last time I ever tell her what I’m doing,” Tem grumbled as he slowly clambered down through the branches. He finally got low enough he was able to jump to the ground, but even that distance was too much, and he fell to his knees. Blushing, he stood and dusted off his pants.

Leia had quieted in Poe’s arms and sat looking at her brother, her hazel eyes huge. “Sorry, Tem. But Mama asked, and Papa says to always tell the truth.”

“That’s right,” Poe nodded, giving his daughter a quick kiss on the cheek.

Rey kneeled next to her husband and daughter, motioning for Tem to join them. “You know why I don’t want you climbing this tree, don’t you?”

“Because it’s special?” Tem answered, his voice wary. He plopped down between his parents.

“Yes, it is special,” Rey confirmed. “It’s also very, very rare. There are only a handful of trees like this one left in the galaxy.” She paused. “Your grandfather and I tried our best to make sure the Uneti lives on by spreading out those saplings to as many safe planets as we could, but none of them are completely safe. Grandpapa Kes has taken care of this one since it was planted, and it is still the oldest Uneti tree that I know of. We need to respect and care for it, not use it as a toy. Okay?”

Tem nodded. “Okay.”

Rey leaned forward and planted a kiss on her son’s forehead. He winced as if he didn’t like the action, but the smile on his face betrayed how he really felt.

Poe grinned, then winked at Rey. “Now, can I get back to my nap?”

“I think a nap sounds like a grand idea,” Rey answered.

With more than a few giggles and grunts, the four of them settled down in the shade of the Uneti Tree, Rey’s head pillowed on Poe’s chest, sharing the space with Leia, Tem’s head resting on her shoulder.

As uncomfortable as he knew this pile would eventually become, Poe couldn’t help feeling more content than he had ever felt in his life. This was the best Life Day ever. Smiling up at the leaves above him, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Do I dare mention that I almost forgot to post? I've been a bit distracted. I'm sure a lot of you would have reminded me eventually. Especially knowing what this chapter entails...
