I love you… most ardently.
If I loved you less, then I might be able to talk about it more.
You’ve bewitched me body and soul, and I love… I love… I love you.
You’re not alone. […] I will always be with you.
Darth Darcy and Rey Bennet in STAR WARS: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) dir. Rian Johnson

#consider: two headstrong opinionated women who are not afraid to speak their minds #consider: two emotionally constipated lordlings with a penchant for wearing high waisted trousers and absolutely no social skills #consider: a rocky start; fighting as flirting; miscommunication galore#consider: two botched proposals #consider: ‘your inferior birth’ #and #‘you’re nothing’ #consider: #‘you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry’ #‘I’m not giving you anything’ #consider: all of these idiots realising their animosity was just pent up UST and repressed feelings #consider: the end of tros involving Rey finally taking Ben’s hand like she wanted to all along — and kissing it #consider: 🥺 ( @galacticidiots )

Rewatching Pride and Prejudice for the 100th time and the only thing I think is that that's how Ben should come back to Rey, slow walking through the morning mist, finally content that the woman he fell in love with loves him back...
Gaaaaahhh I talked about this in tags the other day, because the BTS footage of Ben walking through the desert, hair and cape blowing in the wind, looking like the single most byronic Darth Darcy in existence could have been a powerful as fuck cinematic parallel of the meadow scene in P&P.
Imagine Rey burying the sabers and looking up towards the horizon and there he is, her darkish lordling of 10,000 galactic credits a year, slowly walking towards her as the music swells (a reylo theme capable of putting Across The Stars to shame)
Imagine our collective hearts stopping as he finally reaches her and gives her that look he has just for her, the you’re every star in every constellation in the galaxy of my heart look and then she REMOVES HIS GLOVE and KISSES HIS HAND — THE ONE SHE WANTED TO TAKE ALL ALONG — and he says (the softest, gentlest, most tender) ‘Rey…’
….AND THEN THEY KITH.
“I know all about waiting…” “I’ll come back for you, sweetheart. I promise.”

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it a year ago… — Jane Austen, Persuasion.
If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I would have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love… I love… I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

👑 through a glass, darkly 🌙 OTPs + random AUs ♡ PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Kylo Ren as Fitzwilliam Darcy & Rey as Elizabeth Bennet
You must know, surely you must know, it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I would have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love… I love… I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
