Happy May the Fourth, friends and enemies!! In honor of it, I'm updating this story for the first time in a while! (and Force knows when I'll post it again. At some point, probably) I miiiiiiiiiiiight post something else today, we'll see how the day goes! First lines under the cut!

Taglist: @accidental-spice @seleneisrising @cassie-fanfics @jedi-nurse @selfish-giant @tarisilmarwen (DM me or comment if you want to be added or removed from the list!)

It wasn’t the first time she’d snuck out of the compound— Sabine had always been a free spirit. But the other times had been different. The other times, it had been for fun. This time it was because she was finally realizing just how stuck she and her family were. The Empire controlled their every move. One slip up, and they’d come down on Krownest like a hammer. So all she could do was play their game, and stay under the radar.

She hated it. Sabine hated being told what to do on the best of times, and this… this was so much worse.

So she’d found some old clothing to hide her armor under, and she’d snuck out of the compound. Alkhu wasn’t as far as she wanted to run— ideally, she’d find a ship and get off of Krownest no matter what it took— but it was a decent start.

Strolling through the marketplace, Sabine had taken in the sights with wide eyes— for a little while. Eventually, she started to see more than just the booths of bright fabric and gleaming wares. She saw the uneasy glances the merchants sent towards the Imperial commandos passing by, and the kids in dirty, torn clothing that clearly had no real home. Most of them were younger than her.

As she watched, one of them edged closer to a stall full of jogans, and the merchant sent the girl a glare. “Watch it,” he growled. “Touch any of my wares, and you’ll lose the hand. Don’t you know the Imperial punishment for stealing?”

The girl yanked back her hand, eyes wide, and Sabine felt a flare of anger in her chest. She was so sick and tired of the Empire dictating their every move.

So she marched forward and grabbed a few of the jogans. “You hungry?” she asked the girl, who hesitated before nodding. “Take these.”

Accepting the jogans, the girl gave Sabine a tiny smile before bolting down the street, and Sabine felt the anger in her chest ease into satisfaction. She’d helped someone. In spite of the Empire.

“Hey! Thief!”

A rough hand grabbed her arm, and Sabine whirled around, trying to yank free. But the merchant didn’t let go as he said, “You just stole from me!”

“I helped that kid, is what I did,” Sabine snapped. “Which is more than you can say, apparently.”

“Well, then you’ll be the one to bear the consequences,” the merchant growled. “Won’t be able to steal much with one hand, will you?”

Fury building up inside, Sabine glared at him. “Do you have any idea—”

“Hey, take it easy, Karl.”

A boy’s voice cut through Sabine’s response, and both she and the merchant looked to see a boy wearing all orange. His hair was black-blue, his eyes blue, and his grin was easy as he said, “She’s a friend.”

For the end of the year book ask 👀✨️

1,4,25

Hello, Fae! Thanks for indulging me :3

Ask Game

1. How many books did you read this year?

62 so far! I have 7 more I'm loosely aiming to read before the end of the year, so I can claim my ornament for completing a reading challenge but uuuuhhhh... it's not going great XD

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Mostly read already familiar authors or authors that I'm kinda neutral on. BUT I would absolutely read another Alix E Harrow book because Starling House was phenomenal, and the second book of Kara Jorgensen's The Reanimator Mysteries series is on my TBR as well

25. What reading goals do you have for next year?

My book goal for next year'll probably be around 75 books, which is about 10% more than this year. And I'm attempting to restrain myself from adding a bunch of timed Storygraph reading challenges on top of that (I have 4 so far...)

close encounters of the third kind is an objectively good movie, but it feels sorta tragic. and i doubt thet was the intention lol. love the cinematography, love the music score, love the visual effects. that's all fun and good. but where everyone else seems to see a movie full of "wonder", it just makes me feel sad. the movie ends the way it does and it leaves me feeling bummed the fuck out.

I was soooooo good and did all the cleaning I set out to do today And a little more. And I have pasta.

I'm exhausted. And miserable. But I'll be happier after I eat. And I will be Very happy to have all this done.

That was my driving force... thinking about how happy I'd be having it done... it got me through...

Warrior Cats meet up was a success we simply devoured that trivia (we need not steal from children there were plenty of goodies to go around).

Felt real good about myself um-actually’ing the trivia questions because Barnes & Noble corporate does not know their stuff.

I finally finished Pokemon Scarlet and I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that’s left me with such polarized opinions, lol. I found most of the game to be an ugly slog through the same repetitive pngs of grass and rocks. I absolutely loved Koraidon, and every minute with him was a delight. I think the story was stretched out too thin over a whole bunch of nothingness for most of the game. I think the Arven & Professors storyline was the best Pokémon’s ever done. For every negative opinion about one part I have an equally strong positive one about something else. Why didn’t they give this game the time it needed to be a true masterpiece
