The Way Out Is Through

by Viari

Ben Skywalker has lost so many people to war, and still he survives. (AU, 42-51 ABY. Drama, angst, action, some horror. Features Ben, Mara, Leia, Han, Tahiri, Jaina, Jag, Wedge, and several other ECs & OCs. Major character deaths ahead. Vignette/ficlet/drabble collection in my Enter!verse; prequel to "Enter the Foreign".)

8. Like My Father Before Me

Notes: This is my response for the Single Sentence Shot Put (a story told in a single sentence about your character). The title comes from RotJ, from one of my absolute favorite moments in all of SW – you guys all know the one.
