Forty Days to Bespin, by Leela Starsky
“You want to know what I’m afraid of, Han?” Her dark eyes met his finally, full of challenge. “Really afraid of?” If this didn’t scare him off, nothing would. “I’m afraid of falling in love with you!” There! She’d said it! Her rage callously abandoned her and her shoulders slumped. She looked away, terrified of what she might see in his eyes. “Afraid that I already have.”
“That makes two of us.”
One of the original great Han/Leia fics, and one of the great trip-to-Bespin fics in particular. I still enjoy rereading this one, and it has no doubt inspired many a writer to pen their own ideas for this trip.
