Happy 1K, Kay! I'd love to request Poe Dameron (my space husband) + “it’s you. it’s always been you.” ❤️
Oooh, thank you, Rebecca!! Love me a space pilot.
Laughing with Rose, you gasped softly, “Can’t believe we made it.”
“We did,” she agreed, smiling. “Did you-” She cut herself off, glancing behind you. “Actually, I’ve got to go. I’ll find you later!”
As you opened your mouth to ask what was going on, she darted away, leaving you alone. Before you had a chance to look around, someone tapped gentle on your shoulder, making you spin to face them.
Poe smiled at you, a sparkle in his eyes. “Y/N.”
“General,” you teased, smiling back.
He chuckled, running his hands through his hair. “Was hoping you were okay…couldn’t find you.”
“I’m here, safe and sound,” you muttered. “Just like you.”
“Thank the Force for that,” he murmured quietly. “Was…was anything pushing you? To, you know…”
“Win?” you asked. “Or live? I guess…freedom.” Shrugging, your eyes darted over his face. “Freedom to be who we are and think what we think without control.”
“That’s a good answer.”
“What about you?” You asked. “What were you fighting for?”
Poe sighed softly, licking his lips. “...the person I love.”
Your stomach twisted at his words. “...oh? And who might that be?” you whispered.
“...You,” he stated, stepping close and cupping your cheek. “It’s you, Y/N. And it’s always been you.”
Summary: Poe's been gone on a mission for longer than he was supposed to.
Words: 1,387
Warnings: tooth-rotting fluff, mentions of reader not eating (not eating disorder), brief description of minor injuries, allusions to sexy time cause c'mon it's Poe you can't expect me to not slip that in.
A/n: just thought I'd try my hand at writing something short for once, this has got to be the shortest thing I've ever written, and it's still over 1k words. And it took all the strength I had in me not to turn this into a full-blown oneshot. Anyway, this is mostly unedited but my last Poe thing is doing well so I figured I would feed you more Poe content. What the public wants they shall receive. Also, I'm pretty sure I wrote this with gender neutral reader, but if y'all find something not gender-neutral, lmk so I can fix it :D But anyway let me know what y'all think of my first drabble, and I might write more in the future when I feel like I haven't published anything in a long time. And as usual, all likes, comments, reblogs, and follows are welcome and greatly appreciated Also I am still looking for beta readers so if you’re interested see the pinned post on my profile for more information. happy reading my lovelies!
I paced the floor of my room, trying to figure out something to do, I could do laundry, read a book, or make lunch. Preferably that option, I hadn't eaten a proper meal in what seemed like weeks. Just snacks when the stress got too much to handle and I didn't know what else to do. The fighter squadrons should've been back by now, they were only sent on a short recon mission, they must have run into some trouble, or worse what if they were dead? I stopped my pacing and headed to the kitchen, ready to make something to eat, I had to take my mind off the quiet in the room. I opened the conservator and looked for what we had that I could use to make something to eat. I rifled through the food I had getting more discouraged the more I looked. A sandwich would have to suffice for my meal today, and I'd also have to make a list of things I'd need to get from the market on base. I mean sure I could always go eat at the canteen but canteen food everynight gets sickening, and theres nothing like a homecooked meal. I began to hum a little tune to myself as I spread mayo on my bread. When I heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I called to the person on the other side.
"Lucy!" the voice announced, Lucy lives in the room next to me.
"Come in!" I told her, and the door slid open revealing her standing there, hair messed up and very out of breath. "Oh dear Lucy, what happened?" I asked her my eyes wide as I moved to get her a cup of water. "Here I'll get you some water" I told her.
"No time" She breathed heavily, hands on her knees to stabilize herself and catch her breath. I looked at her confused.
"wha-"
"(y/n) they're back!" She blurted out, and I froze my brain processing what she was saying.
"They're..." I mumbled my voice going quiet as she grabbed my hand and smiled nodding. A smile quickly made its way across my face and I laughed "They're back!" I shouted giggling, Lucy grabbed my hand.
"well let's go!" She said turning to pull me out the door, trailing me along behind her, we ran through the base to the landing bay. Only yelling 'they're back' at the people who gave us weird looks. We sprinted giggling all the way back and once we got to the landing bay, time seemed to stop. I stopped running and Lucy ran forward to greet her girlfriend, running into her open arms with shouts of joy. I didn't have to look very long for my love. I saw him immediately, climbing down the ladder from his x wing, when his feet touched the ground, a huge crowd immediately swarmed around him, and he smiled laughing as people patted him on the back congratulating him on another successful mission. He quickly turned his attention away from the people crowding around him, his eyes searching the crowd quickly. A look of subtle panic slowly crossing his face the more he searched. Until our eyes locked and I saw his instant relief. Watched all the stress drain from his shoulders, the exhaustion he didn't let show to the others wash away. I smiled a wide smile, giggling at the goofy grin spreading across his face. He pushed through the crowd around him, and they parted easily around him. Going back to congratulating each other the second he moved past as if he wasn't even there. He finally made it through all the people, and as soon as he did, time resumed and I ran towards his open arms. Once I got to him he picked me up spinning me around laughing. He put me back down, and once my feet hit the floor, he wrapped his arms around me tightly pulling me against him desperately. As if holding me as tight as he could, would prevent me from ever leaving his side again. And if I had the choice it would. I breathed him in, my fist clenching around the fabric of his flight suit tightly. The tears welled up in my eyes and I blinked letting them fall. I pulled away from him for a minute looking him up and down, to make sure he wasn't visibly hurt. Just to make sure he was really there, and he wasn't some illusion my mind had come up with. I pulled his helmet off his head dropping it to the floor and grabbing his cheeks turning his head looking for any sign of injuries. He had a couple of scrapes on his face, and smeared dried blood along his brow and forehead, but other than that he was fine. I touched his face, running my fingers gently along the cuts. Once I determined he was fine, I pulled him back in hugging him close, my body shaking with sobs as I came to the realization he was back and actually standing relatively unharmed in front of me.
"You're safe" I murmured into his chest, almost disbelievingly.
"Of course, couldn't leave my pretty girl all by herself" He smiled lifting my head with a hand under my chin making me look up at him. He wiped away my tears with one hand, and I smiled leaning into his touch. I opened my eyes and leaned in placing a soft kiss on his lips. Gently, delicately, hesitantly, pulling away and looking up at him through my lashes. He smiled and pulled me back in for another kiss, fueling this one with more desperation, gripping my waist tightly, and moving his hand from my face to the back of my neck. I wrapped my hands around his neck tangling my fingers in his hair. Smiling against his lips, he pulled away chuckling, and leaned his forehead against mine. "Maker, I love you" He mumbled, pressing his lips against me again, pulling away quickly, "I missed you" he kissed me again. "You're so beautiful, (y/n)" another kiss. "My (y/n)" another kiss, an explosion of affection. My heart fluttered, and I giggled turning away from him to hide my flushing face. "Don't hide from me gorgeous" He mumbled into my ear, only driving me further into hiding.
"I love you too Poe" I looked back at him, placing one last kiss on his lips before his friends ran up to us cheering and screaming. He rolled his eyes at their approach, and he stepped away from me unwillingly. Not letting me go too far as he stood next to my side pulling me close to him. Finn, Rey and BB-8, came up to us Finn pulling us all into a large group hug, blubbering about how they survived another day. I rolled my eyes pulling out of the group hug with a laugh as I felt something hitting my leg. I looked down and gave a shout of joy as BB spun in a circle joyfully having my attention. I knelt down to his level giving him a kiss as well. "I'm glad you're back BB" I smiled, and he wooped in reply. I laughed, standing back up when Poe tapped my shoulders. I looked at him with a smile and he gave me another quick kiss. Finn groaned,
"Alright, get a room you two" Rey laughed,
"but not before we get a drink from the canteen" Finn added pumping his fist, and we all cheered.
"you good to celebrate" Poe leaned close to my ear whispering the question so only I could hear him.
"Of course, you are a hero after all" I giggled, "but let's make it quick, I want to give you a proper welcome home" I smiled slyly and his eyes widened, realizing what I meant. He perked up quickly.
"Alright let's drink!" He cheered loudly and I laughed. He leaned down to pick up his helmet, placing it on my head and gripping my hand tightly. "Maker I'm glad to be home" He smiled.
"Me too" I replied as we followed the cheering crowd to the canteen, hand in hand, and the weeks of stress I felt washing away, and all was right in the world once more.

Love your spooky week idea! So fun! And I hope you have an amazing birthday when it comes. What about Poe doing some Halloween baking. Cupcakes or cookies?
thank you! (i literally am making Halloween cookies tomorrow so this came at the perfect time)
Poe loves to “help” in the kitchen when baking and by that, it's sneaking little bits of anything he can so when you mentioned making cookies he was ready to “help”. It’s Halloween so its the perfect time to make pumpkin and ghost-shaped cookies and decorate them as such after baking all the cookies and letting them cool it was time to frost and decorate them so you’ve got orange and white frosting and everything else needed to decorate and Poe just keeps eating frosting when he thinks you aren’t looking and sure it takes you a lot longer to finish everything but it was fun doing something together and Poe is very happy when you finally let him eat a cookie after everything is done
Happy soon to be birthday!! I’m siked for spooky week!!! Can I request something with Poe and pumpkin carving?? Chasing you around with pumpkin guts??? (Also I absolutely will be sending many more so be ready ;) ) thank so much ily!!!!
thank you anon! and this is such a cute idea I made it more a little drabble so it’s a little long sorry (not sorry it’s cute and I took the idea and ran with it a little)
Poe had been adamant you go and pick your own pumpkins from somewhere rather than go to the store and buying them. After spending the afternoon picking out pumpkins and getting hot chocolate (or whatever you want) from the stand near the pumpkin farm you headed home to carve your pumpkins and put up other Halloween decorations. The table was covered in plastic and newspapers to keep from getting pumpkin guts all over it as well as a bunch of different tools Poe swore you’d need. Both of you sat down with your pumpkins and set to work prepping and carving while you had a movie playing in the background. It wasn’t that you hated gutting pumpkins it just wasn’t your favorite thing and didn’t like the feeling of it so you left that job to Poe. You could hear him starting to hollow out his pumpkin while you were still drawing out your design, and you honestly should have excepted him to try something. “Hey babe,” he said, you looked up to see him holding the “guts” in his hand “Don’t you dare Poe,” you said moving away from him “What?” he questioned while smiling and moving a little closer to you. “ Poe you know I don’t like the guts,” you say trying to put more distance between you and him “what these,” he says moving his arm closer to you “Poe!” you shout as some drops onto the floor close to your foot causing you to jump back a little more. The smile Poe gave you told you to run before he did something else, “Come on babe it’s just a little slimy it all it’s not gonna hurt you” he said “True but it’s you I don’t trust with it” you said. That’s what started it and soon you were running through the house trying to get away from Poe before finally getting to the bathroom to hide. “You can’t stay in there forever,” Poe said from the other side of the door “No but at some point, you are gonna get tired of holding that slimy mess,” you tell him back. It was quiet after a while so you figure it was safe to leave the bathroom but you quickly realized how wrong you were when you felt something slimy touch the back of your neck causing you to jump “Oh you are dead now Dameron” you said turning around to try and get Poe back now.
77 & 92 with Poe for the prompts? If you can? Thank you Kami!! Love you!!
77: “ Are you jealous? ”
92: “ Are you drunk? ”
Poe watches as you let out a laugh as Rey beat Finn in a round of Flip Cup, downing another shot. He lifts his gaze from the bar, only to spot you talking with one of the guys from one of your shared classes, immediately stiffening in his place as he places his hand on your arm.
Poe motions for the bartender to give him another shot, his fifth one at that, and continues to keeps his eyes on the wandering hand of your classmate. When Poe sees him place his hand to the middle of your back, that’s when he snapped. He downs the shot as soon as the bartender slides it in front of him, quickly asking for another.
You look around, in search of Poe, only to find him slightly wavering in his seat at the bar. Excusing yourself from the company of your classmate, you make your way through the crowd of people to the bar.
“Poe?” You watch as he slightly jumps, almost falling out of his seat. “Are you drunk?”
Poe looks up at you, straightening up as he realizes you are actually standing in front of him, all smiles.
“Pfft, no. I’m… I’m fine.” He turns away from you, his eyelids slightly drooping down.
“Are you sure? You almost fell out of your seat.” You chuckle, sitting next to him.
“…Why are you here?” He looks down, spinning one of the empty shot glasses on the bar.
“What do you mean?” You furrow your brows. “I came to check on you.”
“What about your friend.” He scoffs. “Shouldn’t you be with him?”
“…Oh! You mean Troy? No. No, no, no.” You laugh. “Definitely not. He is not my type.”
Poe just hums, leaning against the bar. “Sure seemed like he was. Since he was touching you… and whatnot.”
You stare at Poe, brow arched, and cross your arms. “Poe, Are you jealous?”
“…No.”
“Because, I promise you, you have nothing to be worried about.” Poe’s gaze softens, and he looks up at you as you stand up, grabbing his arm. “Now, let’s get you home.”
“W-wait, wait, wait.” He stammers as you throw his arm over your shoulders, struggling to stand up. “You… you said you had a type?”
“Yeah, I tend to go for dark haired guys who like to ogle at me from the bar while I’m standing at the other end.” Smiling up at him, you tighten your grip on his arm as you begin to take a few steps forward.
“…Wait.” Poe stops, pointing to himself. “Me?”
“Come on.” You chuckle, pulling him along. “We need to get you to bed.”
“But, it’s me right?”
“Oh my god.” You lean up and press a kiss to his cheek. “Believe me now?”
“…I don’t know, I might need another one. Just because my mind is a little fuzzy.” He shrugs and you begin to laugh, shaking your head.
71 and 75 from the prompt list with Poe please! Thank you so much :))
71. “You are the single best thing that has ever happened to me.”
75. “You fainted, straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention, you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”
—-
“Wait, wait.” Finn laughed. “How did you two meet, again?”
“Well-”
“Oh, man.” Poe sighs, rubbing his temples. “You always love to tell this story, don’t you, Sweetheart?”
“Aww, c’mon Poe.” You press a kiss to his cheek. “It’s a cute story!”
“What happened?” Rey asked, pressing her elbows onto the table.
“Okay, anyways, I was just getting over a double shift in the medbay when we had gotten word that there were going to be a large number of injured pilots and soldiers coming in. So, I was heading towards the X-Wing hangar when I see Commander Dameron limping my way. So-”
“Mind you guys, I had just gotten a concussion from a hard landing.”
“You fainted, straight into my arms.” Finn and Rey begin to laugh while Poe huffs through his nose. “You know, if you wanted my attention, you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”
“Ha ha, laugh it up guys.” Poe rolls his eyes as he takes a sip of his drink.
“Don’t be embarrassed, Poe.” You say, rubbing your hand up and down his arm, giving him a sweet smile.
Poe fails at trying to keep from smiling, but can’t help himself as he pulls you close, pressing a kiss to the side of your head. “You know, you are the single best thing that has ever happened to me.”
“I’m just glad that I was there to keep you from falling on your pretty face.” Poe groans into your hair, while the rest of you share one more laugh.
I hope I get this right... but can I have no.20 “Their pick-up line wasn’t as good as any of mine, I’m just saying.” from that list you reblogged with Poe Dameron? Many thanks <3
Of course hun!
Poe Dameron + “Their pick-up line wasn’t as good as any of mine”
You casually tried to pass off your giggle, trying to make it sound as though you weren’t that amused. Truthfully you weren’t, but you didn’t want this new recruit to get any ideas. They smirked at you, shifting their weight to one hip as they leaned against the wall beside you both.
“So, what do you say?”
You gave them a shrug with a subtle sigh, “Eh, maybe sometime. With everything going on though, I don’t think we’ll have the time.”
They nodded, obviously shifting their body language to try and appear as though they weren’t deflated by that. Of course you had a point, but they had still held out hope.
“Ok. Yeah. We can wait it out.”
You gave a smile and a nod as they slowly started walking off towards the hangar, still facing you for a moment to speak.
“I’ll see you around!”
“See you!”
With that they turned around and went off into the small sea of people drifting towards the hangar. From behind you, you heard a little snort. Turning to look over your shoulder you were met with Poe’s amused expression. You rolled your eyes.
“What’s so funny Dameron?”
He looked up at you with a smirk, “Oh nothing, just the lines they used.”
“And what about their lines?”
“Come on (Y/N).”
Slowly Poe brought himself closer to you, leaning against the wall much like the recruit before had. With Poe however you felt your cheeks growing hot at the proximity, his eyes glimmering just a little more than usual.
“Their pick-up line wasn’t as good as any of mine.”
Your nostrils flared for a moment, trying to compose yourself enough to respond.
“Yeah? What would you have said?”
He leaned in even closer, his hot breath fanning across your face for a split second.
“If the force created anything more beautiful and spectacular than you, I hope it kept it for itself.”
Your heart nearly leapt into your throat. Poe was of course your friend, but at the same time, you couldn’t deny the attraction you felt towards him. He was not only an amazing pilot and leader, he was ridiculously handsome too. You gulped.
“Ok…that was pretty good.”
Poe smirked, “A lot better than ‘your lips look lonely’.”
“They might be.”
Poe paused for a moment, looking over your face with hesitation. You had so seamlessly turned the tables on him.
3 for poe and 8 for cassian with the ways of saying i love you thing? btw!! i!! love!! your!! writing!!
(3. A scream)
Poe was dozing in your arms when the sirens began to blare throughout the rebel base.
The pair of you jumped in fright, the previously peaceful and affectionate mood shattered by the call to arms ringing over the speakers. You exchanged a long-suffering look, before pulling your orange jumpsuits on over your pyjamas and sprinting hand-in-hand to the main hangar.
The hangar was manic, the noise of ship engines deafening as the rebels prepared to defend their home. You could already see your squadron waiting for your orders.
“See you soon?” Poe asked, pressing a quick kiss to your lips. You ran a hand through his tousled black hair affectionately, kissing him again.
“See you soon,” you confirmed, before jogging and weaving your way through the chaos towards your X-wing.
After delivering orders to your squadron, you climbed up onto your ship to await your chance to take off. As you were about to jump into the cockpit, a familiar voice caught your attention.
“(Y/N)!” Poe yelled, waving his arms to catch your attention as he stood on the wing of his ship on the other side of the hangar. You chuckled, waving back at your ridiculous husband. He shouted something else, but the words were lost to the roaring of ship engines and the yelling of orders.
“WHAT?” you shouted at the top of your lungs, cupping your mouth in a vain attempt to make your voice heard.
“I LOVE YOU!” Poe screamed across the hangar. You shook your head, grinning at his antics.
“LOVE YOU TOO!” you yelled back, watching for a few moments as he grinned, before climbing his ship and taking off with his squadron. You jumped into your own ship, smiling at the holo-flat of you and Poe which you kept in the cockpit, before taking off into the sky to defend your home.
