▵ and ♫ for Huttslayer?
▵ pick a fic and I’ll tell you my favorite line — huttslayer
i usually choose some of my favorite lines for the summary of the fic if its a oneshot! which is below: He looked up at her earnestly, an expression she’d only seen in rare moments. After a mission gone wrong, or one of their nastier fights on Hoth. She’d become more acquainted with that expression during their time stuck on this ship, finding it equally heartbreaking and endearing. A knife had wrenched her heart open, seeing him like that now. She’d dreamed of that face every night for months, remembering the strangling feeling of waking up, cold and alone in that face’s bed. His hand squeezed hers. “Huttslayer.” The title was whispered into the night, wrapping around her like another chain, finding its place amongst princess, rebel, orphan. She let out a breath, adjusting to its weight, like yet another invisible crown had been placed on top of the teetering pile on her head. dont love the last line so much anymore but the rest im still happy with!
♫ send a fic and i’ll make a 3-5 song playlist for you — huttslayer

Ooh, what would be a fun snippet for you that wouldn’t give too much away? Ah, yes, how about this: a little bit of a scene of Han and Leia from a WIP that is tentatively titled, Your Worship:
“We’re just talkin’,” he repeated. He put his hands up and moved back from her slightly, although he was still practically sitting on her desk.
To be honest, she rather wished that they weren’t just talking right now. And it wasn’t as if she hadn’t thought about it. She’d just assumed that they’d completed the circle after his initial…response to her request, and her recent reciprocation.
And there weren’t many people in the command center at this time of night, but it’s not as if Han Solo’s comings and goings hadn’t already been noted. No matter what they did right now, it’s not like she could prevent what people would say.
“All right,” she said. “Talk.”
“How are you?”
That was an odd question for this point in the conversation. Was he trying to pick her up at a cantina? Had he developed a sudden desire to just shoot the shit in her office? Or did he actually have something to talk with her about?
“Fine,” she answered, deciding it was best to just ignore whatever the hell this was and move on.
“Not workin’ too hard?” he pressed.
This man was impossible. Leia could actually feel her lips thinning in frustration as she tried again to get him back on track. “Han, what did you want?”
He laughed softly. “I think you need a break.”

13 and 20!
Thanks for asking!
13. Are you secretly Tara Gilesbie aka XXXbloodyrists666XXX aka author of infamous Harry Potter fanfiction serial My Immortal? (you can trust me; I won’t tell anyone, pinky promise)
I wish (jk). Haha... I actually didn't even know about My Immortal until years after it gained infamy (I was about to say I didn't read the Harry Potter books until several years after that fic was posted, but I'm not sure that Tara read them either, tbh). And while my early fanfiction writing wasn't good, it wasn't quite...that, either. Haha...
20. Is there anything about any one of your fics that you have been dying to discuss but haven’t had the chance to?
I was wracking my brain for something and then remembered a thing I did in Purpose of Heritage without drawing a ton of attention to it (I don't think?), and I don't even know that it improved the story in any way, but I know it's in there. Throughout the entire saga, Leia hears Han if he enters a room because he scuffs his boots on the ground/floor/deckplates and, like she essentially has Force-enhanced hearing in this version of things, so I imagine it could be brushed off as that. But what I had in mind while writing it was that Han was well aware that she would be jumpy after everything she went through on the Death Star, so even though he's perfectly capable of walking around without making a ton of noise, he purposefully makes a little if he's approaching her when her back is turned to keep her from feeling like he snuck up on her.

Star Wars Legends Highlight of the Week: Honor Among Thieves by James S. A. Corey
This is a new feature where a fan will share one thing they love from Star Wars Legends – a book, a comic, an author, a character, an event, or anything else they want to highlight – and tell us more about it.
If you, too, love Legends, follow @from-a-legends-pov and check out our upcoming Star Wars Legends fanfiction event, From a Legends Point of View, HERE. Signups open April 28 - please encourage your favorite Star Wars writers to participate!
Today’s highlight is Honor Among Thieves by James S. A. Corey (actually the pen name of writing team Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, whom you may recognize as the writers of The Expanse), a 2014 Legends novel, and we’re talking with Dessi (@otterandterrier).
Tell us about your Legends highlight. What is it? What’s it about?
Honor Among Thieves is the second novel in the Empire and Rebellion duology (the first one being Razor’s Edge, a previous Legends highlight), and one of the last books published in the Legends universe by Del Rey. This book is Han’s story, and is told entirely from his POV.
The story is set about a year after Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and our heroes start off scattering through the galaxy in their respective missions. Han and Chewie are sent to the Core to retrieve Scarlet Hark, a high-level spy who is after a thief in possession of secret, deadly information stolen from under the Empire’s (and her) nose – and that the Empire is willing to do anything to get back. Han doesn’t want to get involved, as this is way above his paycheck. But then he realizes that Leia is at a gathering on Kiamurr, the very same planet their thief is headed to, which means the Empire will be hot on his heels. That makes up his mind about helping Scarlet get there first!
The plot is quite the wild goose chase, and you have to suspend your sense of disbelief many times and forget specialized bits of lore in order to buy it. Even so, it’s really fun and gripping, and I appreciate the way that the main conflict is used to give us excellent insight into our favourite smuggler’s mind.
What makes this a Legends highlight for you? What do you love about it?
This is one of my favourite Legends books, because I love Han Solo. I love the intensely caring, occasionally dorky, bad at flirting, barely concealing a soft interior Han Solo that somehow we were fortunate enough to get in the Original Trilogy and, somehow, so many people missed. And that’s the Han Solo we get here! I love getting to see the narrative peeling off his self-admitted layers, contemplating his involvement with the rebellion, his new relationships, and the man he could have been had circumstances not put him on the path of an old Jedi and an idealistic farmboy, by setting up a contrast with an old acquaintance that shows up. We also get to see how competent and clever he really is, something that is often neglected.
Favorite moment or scene?
There’s this scene where the group is walking through a jungle, and a character is about to shoot at a large mud creature that scared her—but Han stops her. He explains that the creature is harmless, then he pats its snout and tells it to look out for humans. Leia calls him an animal lover, to which Han replies: “If everyone got to kill anything that looked big and scary, Chewie would never be able to leave the ship.” I love this little moment because it shows that soft, caring, yet practical side of Han that not many people get to see, and it’s also a nice moment of connection between Han and Leia. Han’s concern over creatures that are “just trying to make it through another day” also gets called back towards the end, rounding off Han’s overall spot-on characterization—although that’s all I can say without spoiling the book.
Anything else you’d like to share about it?
A few other reasons I love this book:
It develops Han and Leia’s early relationship: as a shipper, the UST and the moments of deeper understanding between them here make me squeal. We see Leia through Han’s eyes and beyond his façade, and how he goes from “I can’t stand her” to “I will kill anyone who tries to hurt her.”
Scarlet Hark FTW: This OC is a bit of a perfect male fantasy, but I like her a lot. Intelligent, badass, take-no-shit female character? Yes please! I particularly love that she and Leia get along so well and it’s never a competition between them. She’s a really interesting character to explore, and I’d love to see the OT gang teaming up with her again.
Han and Luke’s relationship isn’t forgotten: I really appreciate that the authors gave this friendship the importance it deserves, with Han thinking several times that he’s sticking with the Rebellion mainly to look after Luke (which is a better motivation than him staying because he wants to sleep with Leia).
To learn more…
If you’d like to read more about Honor Among Thieves, you can check out its page on Wookieepedia or find the novel at your favorite library or used bookstore (like Razor’s Edge, it seems to be out of print for new copies, sadly).

2, 3 and 7 for the Star Wars asks?
2. What character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?
I hate saying it, but Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. I loved him through the movies! I loved Adam Driver and I loved how he was brought back to the light side. But since then, thanks to certain (not all!) Reylos and their obsession with him and his being 'misunderstood,' (no, he was really, really bad) I just can't anymore. After having considered myself Reylo through the movies, I now have the tag blocked.
3. What’s the worst part of canon?
Inconsistency. It's everywhere, but being a Poe Dameron fan, I really hate how they changed everything with him. In Before the Awakening, the first Star Wars book I read after they de-canonized the AU (Legends), it was written that Poe joined the Resistance directly from the Republic, after watching his friend die and realizing the First Order was essentially being ignored by his superiors. Then in the 3rd movie... wait! He was a drug smuggler? Then how the hell did he become a pilot in the Republic? Just... why?
7. What is the weakest piece of canon writing?
Oh, dang. I think I just mentioned it. LOL Uhm.. I guess I could also complain a bit about the Ahsoka series, which overall I absolutely loved, but... why Sabine? Why are we making her a Jedi? I mean, I love her, but she's enough as she is. Why are we changing canon? *sigh* So, yes I love Star Wars, ALL of it, but I do still have my 'eye rolling' moments.
Send me some asks!
