hello! i'm a huge fan of the cwu verse; your writing is amazing and i wish i could write as beautifully as you do ✨ i was wondering if wedge and luke were previously a couple in the cwu verse or not? or does it just depend on how different people interpret it?
Hi! Thank you so much– I’m so glad you’re into this! And yes, they were previously a couple.
Luke skirted around committing for a while, in part because he had so much grief he was still processing following the death of Anakin and everything that had happened, but Wedge was always there for Luke when he needed him/when Luke came crawling back from some exhausting quest he’d set for himself, and when Wedge ended up needing to take care of Rey, potentially as a single father who had not planned for children, Luke stepped up and helped Wedge both with caring for her and also in terms of the emotional support that Wedge really needed following the death of his brother and sister-in-law and the shock of being trusted to care for their grieving child.
At that point Luke became a consistent figure in Wedge’s and Rey’s life and lived with them for the next two years, until Rey’s disappearance. So that was their most solid couple time– I’ll probably do a whole side story about the Luke/Wedge history when CWU is done. :3 Thanks for asking!
