This drabble contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Rey comes to him on Ahch-To, lightsaber in hand and desperation in her eyes. The Millennium Falcon is short one Han Solo and the galaxy one Republic.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
There is something about the Skywalker genes–greatness or madness–strong in the Force but at what cost. After Ben’s–Kylo Ren’s–descent, Luke thought he knew what he was doing.
Send Rey to Jakku, send her away so she won’t be a target. So his mistakes won’t catch up to her, so she wouldn’t have to pay for his sins.
None of this was supposed to happen.
If ever she got curious, if ever she asked about him, she was to go to Lor San Tekka. And he would give her the map. But only if she asked, and only if she wanted.
Luke thought Jakku would be safe for her.
From her.
The desert is harsh, but Skywalkers have always been better there. Kinder, more controlled, the sand wearing away at all their sharp edges. Luke thinks maybe being raised as a Jedi is what led to Ben’s fall, honed and shaped until that’s all he became–a weapon.
Things were supposed to go better, be better.
He didn’t know Rey had ended up completely alone on Jakku, unaware of Lor San Tekka’s existence much less the information he had for her.
Hadn’t thought the Resistance would try to find him–he who had created their enemy through his failure.
Couldn’t believe that Han would come back and help, only to wind up dead. (But Luke should have–Han always came back when it mattered).
And now Rey is here, staring at him like he has the answers. As if his attempts at solutions weren’t just problems in the making.
He doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do now.

A/N: Tiny thing because still feels but mostly I’m confused on some points and trying to work everything out in my head.
So, basically, I hella headcanon that Rey is a Skywalker. Specifically, Luke’s daughter, and that she was left on Jakku for a reason. Or Lor San Tekka was left on Jakku for a reason… Basically, he was meant to be the Obi Wan Kenobi to her Luke except whatever adult supervision they had in place for her either bailed or died and so she never even knew to go find Lor San Tekka to go find her father.
