Title: Before You Can Fly
Summary:
Not every Human is 100% human. Some appear to be, then around 18-19 they start growing wings - an intensive, year-long process that's incapacitating. It's just Luke's luck that he starts to do so right after the Battle of Yavin. And Darth Vader is searching for the Death Star pilot…
Excerpt:
Ben Kenobi had looked at Luke so sadly. Maybe he had known. The old bastard.
Luke knew, growing up, that chances of him developing wings were high. The winged weren’t very common on Tatooine, as most couldn’t afford the resources to help them survive the year-long transformation, but his father had been one of them. Anakin Skywalker had had the good fortune to hit adulthood off-planet, somewhere where he could ride out the feverish, weak, painful year with plenty of water, food, and rest. Luke’s own begging to leave Tatooine had been about becoming a pilot, true, but in the dead of night, he could admit to himself that it was also fear of the transformation, fear of sending his family into poverty to care for him, fear of dying before it was complete. Owen and Beru had had a stash of food, water, and credits that they thought was hidden from him, just in case, but he knew that they couldn’t afford to save up enough, not with Jabba’s water taxes rising each season.
At nineteen, he was the perfect age for it.
