"Weary" + Leia Organa

Spoilers for The Last Jedi.
He died peacefully, on his own terms.
She felt it as surely as her own heartbeat.
It didn't make it easier.
Didn't lessen the blow.
Only one member of her family still remained.
Ben.
Ben who was bringing all her worst nightmares to life.
Ben who she loved more dearly than anything.
She did not know how to keep living through this.
How to keep letting go.
How to stop her son.
That death would destroy her.
As ruined as Alderaan.
Blown up before her eyes.
Selfishly she hoped to die herself,
before she had to order her son's death.

I haven't really settled into my headcanon for Leia's headspace just post TLJ, but I think in part a lot of this is me trying to get myself ok with the fact she obviously won't be in IX.

Spoilers for The Last Jedi.
She shut her eyes.
PaePae, I'm sorry.
But no.
No.
Rose could not let Paige down.

Whenever she felt her strength sapping, she'd focus on the thief who betrayed them.
Sold out their last hope.
For what?
For credits?
They were all worth far more.
No metal could be so valuable.
Soldiers shoved her onto the gleaming floor.
She caught Finn's eye.
She smiled.
One last act of defiance.
Comfort offered at the end.
Then
As if bursting directly out of her hopes
Everything around them exploded.
