so I’m not gonna write it rn because Thesis, but SOMEONE should probably write the story where Finn is secretly Luke Skywalker’s son, right?
we have SUCH A SHORT WINDOW OF AUS before we get canon confirmation about everyone’s parentage, and I WANT REY SKYWALKER AND REY KENOBI AND REY ANTILLES AND FINN SKYWALKER AND FINN KENOBI AND, YOU KNOW. EVERY ITERATION OF THE SECRET BABY AU IS CURRENTLY OURS FOR THE TAKING, WHY DON’T WE PLUNDER IT, etc.
IMAGINE:
Mara Jade swoops in, steals Luke Skywalker’s heart, and after they break up (due to Serious Important Reasons, as well as Force Philosophical differences, probably), Mara realizes that she’s pregnant, and can’t think of anything worse than having her baby be the Last Jedi’s son. There are multiple intergalactic churches devoted to Skywalker worship, and multiple churches who sincerely believe Luke Skywalker is a demon to be vanquished. There were two hundred attempts on Luke’s life in the last year, at least seventy of which were professional hits. (Mara should know: she was one of them.)
She doesn’t want her son raised like that, doesn’t want him to grow up with kidnappers and blackmailers and religious extremists lurking around every corner. She thinks Luke would agree, actually. She puts off telling him because–well, fuck, what good’s it gonna do? It’s going to hurt him, and it’s going to hurt her, and it won’t change what has to be done, which is taking the baby somewhere far away from Princess Organa and the Last Jedi and raising him somewhere safe.
AND THEN: the baby’s born, the baby’s perfect, the baby’s midichlorian count is higher than average, but still normal. he has just enough of the Force to be lucky, not enough to put a target on his back. he doesn’t look like Luke, and she’s thankful for that, too.
six months after the baby is born, she takes her first real job, the kind with a serious payout and risk to life and limb, the kind where she has to leave the sector. She leaves the baby with her sister, kisses his tiny hands, tells him she’ll be back–
but when she does come back, the house is smoking, the station’s on fire, and the baby is gone.

It was a First Order raid, although of course there’s no way to prove it. Half the village is destroyed, every kid under the age of five taken. Her sister’s in the hospital, brother-in-law’s dead.
There are too many traces after that–too many missing kids, too many soulless assholes trading in them. But she’s Mara Jade. She hunts down the ship that took her son.
When she finds it, it’s been reduced to ash. Something about a disagreement with the Hutts.
(Oh, but the baby was lucky. He wasn’t on the ship when it burned.)
Luke never knows he had a son. Mara isn’t sure if it’s kindness or selfishness that keeps her from telling him. And she thinks her son is gone, and Luke never knows, and FN-2187, like all troopers, was taken from a home he’ll never remember.
The first time Kylo Ren and FN-2187 are on the same planet as adults, Kylo Ren feels something. It’s familiar, but frustratingly out of place–he doesn’t trust it enough to say anything. It’s because he’s here looking for Luke Skywalker, he thinks. That’s all.
Leia knows, and doesn’t know. She feels the same thing Ben did, the little ripple of connection, but she chalks it up to nostalgia, at first. It’s sort of wrenchingly familiar, isn’t it–Han and Chewie riding in with a fresh-faced kid, all alone in the world, begging for their help rescuing a girl he hardly knows. She puts the thought aside. She’s sending the kid into a war zone, and she misses her family. That’s all.
Rey convinces Luke to take her on as a Padawan, and when he shows her how to loop a training bond between his mind and hers, he discovers two nascent bonds already forming in her thoughts. One is red and knotted and familiar, and leads to his nephew. Luke doesn’t touch it, but tells Rey how she can unravel it, if she wants to. The other is thin and blue and emanates warmth, and his Padawan says he can examine it if he wants but she’s pretty sure it’s only Finn.
Very gently, Luke touches the warm blue thread.
Worlds and worlds away, Finn wakes up, wide-eyed and gasping.
anyway, yeah, I can’t write this right now, BUT: IMAGINE LUKE FINDING OUT, AND THEN MARA JADE FINDING OUT, AND THEN MARA COMING FOR HER SON, AND A VERY BELATED LUKE/MARA REUNION? AND FINN GETS A MOTHER AND A FATHER AND AN AUNT AND CHEWIE AND
A COUSIN
OBVIOUSLY

(THE SAME COUSIN WHO ORDERED HIM TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE)
(THE COUSIN WHO NEARLY RIPPED HIM APART)
(THE COUSIN HE STILL HAS NIGHTMARES ABOUT)
(THE COUSIN WHO SEEMED LIKE ALL THE WORST STORIES ABOUT LUKE SKYWALKER COME TO LIFE, BECAUSE. LET’S FACE IT. THE FIRST ORDER TELLS TERRIBLE FAIRYTALES ABOUT THE LAST JEDI AND THE THINGS HE’S DONE.)
(FINN HAD NIGHTMARES ABOUT LUKE SKYWALKER FOR YEARS BEFORE DEFECTING.)
(JUST THINK ABOUT IT.)

Yeah, no, I am so here for Finn Skywalker theories. So here.
