shimmersing: Their kiss was meant to be shared. Celebrated. So they did, all the trappings of titles and formalities slipping away, a breathless promise of forever. However long that might be. Sometimes it seemed like it might be frighteningly short. That was who they were: heroes. Sacrifice was part and parcel of their story, in whatever form that would be. Both had accepted that when they had chosen their paths, chosen the people of the Republic and the way of compassion. Before meeting, neither would have ever considered this near-mythological turn of events, the trials of their courtship, three long years of both personal and public battles fought through every corner of the galaxy, first separately, now together. Overcoming impossible odds to finally be standing in each other’s arms – truly joined now – on a softly rolling Alderaanian hillside, flanked by a ridiculous retinue of security, military, Jedi, and several important heads of state. It was hardly a wedding anymore; it was a state sanctioned high security galactic celebration for the Heroes of the Republic. The real royalty in the galaxy paled next to the fairy tale of the beautiful Jedi and her heroic Republic Trooper. The kiss that could save worlds ended, and husband and wife simply looked at each other, nothing reflected in their gazes save each other. Aitahea’s throat tightened around a bubble of laughter – or was it a sob? There was delight and perhaps just a hint of panic in the sound as it escaped her lips, but Erithon’s arms tightened around her and all was sudden perfection. He smiled, looking proud and relieved and dashing in his dress uniform. “May the Force guide us.” So softly spoken that only Aitahea could hear, she shivered at the words her husband offered just to her, hushed beneath the applause of the attendees. “And be with us,” she whispered, reaching to wrap her arms around his shoulders, breathing her oath against his lips. “…always.” Thank you so much to artist Eva Soulu eva-soulu for the art, I’m utterly delighted.
