Title: Things My Heart Used to Know (Things It Yearns to Remember)
Fandom: Star Wars: Sequel Trilogy
Characters: Ben Solo | Kylo Ren, Watto, Maz Kanata
Pairing: --
Rating: Teen and Up
AO3 Tags: Alternate Universe, Baby Switch, Baby Swap, Alternate Character Arc, Child Neglect, Pre-Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Alternative Timeline, Mentioned Han Solo, Mentioned Padme Amidala, Mentioned Luke Skywalker
Summary: Two boys are taken from their homes. Only one returns to a certain senator and a smuggler - but whether or not it is the right son remains to be seen. The other is abandoned to the underworld, surely to die within the week.
But the Force is strong with this one. A bloodline he’ll never be aware of runs through his veins. And as such, a legacy born to one child is granted to another, and Darth Vader’s grandson falls into oblivion.
Notes: Based on the offhand remark my friend Matt @matt-goes-nyoom made at work one day: "I can't wait for Kylo Ren to find out he's adopted." Which then led my brain to wondering what would have happened to the real Ben Solo and, well... here we are. Complete alternate timeline that meets up eventually with The Force Awakens, with plenty of liberties taken in between.
Chances are this is not the Ben Solo you're expecting, and he's definitely not Kylo Ren, but I hope you enjoy.
