Thank you, @sallysavestheday, for the tag!
Hmm..I don't feel like going all the way back to my old LotR fic just at the moment, so here, in honor of a certain somebody developing a Star Wars obsession recently, let's pop back to when the Sequel Trilogy was first coming out, and we were all trying to figure out what the fuck Rian and JJ were sometimes thinking and how to fix it.
This is an excerpt from a one-shot called The Story of Kijimi (three guesses what this one was fixing lol).
“I did it for Leia,” Poe muttered.
He’d spoken so quietly that Finn wasn’t sure he’d heard him correctly at first. “Leia?” he asked.
“Keep your voice down,” Poe hissed. His eyes flicked anxiously from side to side and his muscles had gone taut and tight as durasteel; Finn could feel them throbbing against his arm. “Yes, for Leia.”
“You’re telling me it was a mission?” Finn felt dubious — but also hopeful. “Like something undercover?”
“Not...exactly.” Poe squirmed, reminding Finn suddenly of BB-8 when the little droid had been up to some hijinks that it didn’t want to admit to.
“So what was it, then?” Finn’s voice was flat. “Exactly.”
I shall tag @bifuriouswaterbender @storytellingdreamer @rosalui @roselightfairy @thescrapwitch feel like sharing an oldie but goodie? Or anyone else who is so moved?
