"Will I Discover a Soul-Saving Love...?"

And here, at long last, is my yuletide fic. >_>

Title: Thou art the star for which all evening waits
Fandom: The Bible
Characters/Pairings: Benjamin, Joseph, Reuben, Judah, Simeon, Levi, Naphtali, Jacob, Asenath
Rating: PG-13
Summary: AU. Benjamin stays with his captor in Egypt instead of returning to Canaan.
Notes: For innervoice_chan for yuletide!

This fic borrows heavily from various midrashim in addition to the Old Testament, and as a result there are probably some anachronisms (as well as the fact that, well, the midrashim don't necessarily match up with each other, so if you've read ones that are different from the ones I've read it's all just going to look ridiculous. I hope you don't mind!). Also, despite utilising my ninja powers as a religious studies major, I could not find a name for Benjamin's wife, and for that I apologise.

The title is from a poem by George Stirling.
