Gift fic for Gamemakers over on Caeser's Palace. I decided to do the two things she loves best: death and Star Wars.
Jyn Erso dies
#
Jyn Erso takes his hand, gathers herself into him and says:
"I love you"
#
Jyn Erso sinks with him into the white grains crystallizing into glass and for once will say what her heart claims,
for the last three seconds
she has to claim it
#
Jyn Erso supports him like a crutch, like a friend (or a lover in another life), as they hobble to the shore
where land meets water, where life meets death
where she will not fear meeting either
for she is no longer alone
#
Jyn Erso ponders the horizon with eyes like a calming storm
and thinks how fortunate it is that she must no longer carry the stones of the past on her journey towards the sun;
for the sun
it seems
has come to her
