Our Weakness Is the Same

by Viari

She can't escape his orbit, and he can't escape hers. (Or, Allana Djo Solo and Darth Festus spend ten years trying to kill each other and/or falling in love, maybe.) Allana/OC, AU, 43-61 ABY. Dark romance, drama, angst. Slow burn. Like, excruciatingly slow. Vignette/ficlet/drabble collection in my Enter!verse.

7. Taris

Notes: For my next event, we have the 100 Word Sprint (a 100-word drabble about your couple using any theme).

This drabble revisits the events of What If This Storm Ends?, Section IV, this time from Allana's POV. Festus and his brother were living on Taris at the time, and one day while he was out roaming the city, he just so happened to run into Allana...

Allana's eyes sweep the crowded walkway, but Festus is already gone, vanished just as quickly as he appeared. "He was just here," she tells Ben, dazed, hardly more than a whisper. This is the fourth time in four years that he's found her, and that can't be a coincidence.

He didn't say a word. And he shrugged at her, like he was just a normal guy out in normal society. Almost casual or friendly – or weirdly intimate – as if he hasn't spent all this time wanting to kill her.

She can't allow herself to forget that.
