despite the potentially disastrous situation they’ve found themselves in, bb-8 still takes a moment to offer her own attempt at a joke in response.

finn is right, more than likely, but that doesn’t mean poe is going to take the, very good, advice he’s being given. he has too much energy, too much adrenaline even though he’s done nothing but sit in bed for a few days now. strict orders from the doc and poe’s about to lose it. “or, i can go fly? and then we’d both be so much happier.”

        most of the time, what she can do is completely useless; it’s just a lot of noise in her head, screaming at her at the top of its lungs, making it impossible for her to get anything useful from it. the odd thing, here and there, perhaps, and maybe it’d warn her about people being good or not, except that bea doesn’t trust anyone to begin with. she’s an island, on her own, an entire sea keeping her separate from the rest of the world.

        it’s okay. it’s safer that way. and safer means better.

        but then, very occasionally, she sees things, like the fact that in a few seconds, some guy in a total supervillain outfit is gonna come crashing out of that six storey window, and land on that other guy walking underneath. there’ll be broken bones, probably. blood. terror. 

       so she does the logical thing: she makes herself take the guy’s sleeve, and pulls him out of the way with a sharp tug---and not a moment too soon, apparently. the glass still shatters, loud enough to drown out her head, almost, and the bad guy is suspended in motion, for a moment, as he falls, but nobody gets squashed. nobody’s hurt. it’s all good. right? that---that was a good thing to do, right?

        ( a piece of glass caught her arm, but she’s too busy trying to calm the beat of her heart and her sudden discomfort at the gathering crowd to notice. )

“Not many people know about it. ---Even in the Resistance.” 

General Calrissian’s kept it pretty quiet; and with good reason, because Poe’s sure the First Order would be in Cloud City in no time if news got out. For his part, Poe’s done the same; kept his mouth shut, snuck off to Cloud City at any chance he got. He reaches for Finn’s hand --- didn’t know there were stories about it. Can’t begin to imagine------ freedom, existing only as shadow-shrouded rumour. 

“General Calrissian--- he’s a good man. You’d like him, I think.”

no words were uttered as she wrapped her arms around him, sighing into the embrace.  she just... REALLY needed this.  thank goodness finn was in her life.

[lastfulcrum-a]

   There’s a slightly startled noise in the back of his throat as a man turned a corner and nearly ran into him -- holding out a hand to stop him, level him, against the man’s bicep before lowering his grip; flickering his gaze over him in turn. “Can’t turn corners like that -- might get you more than a little embarrassed.” His words were only slightly chastising, more offered as advice than anything -- truly.       “You look like you must be FINN? Dameron told me about you -- was worried for you, it seemed. I’m General Cassian Andor. You seem to be settling in well.”

          ❝ do you understand anything they’re saying ?? ❞    there was a point in his life that he could speak and understand a wide variety of languages. lack of practice has made him rusty,  certainly, but this seems like something entirely different, and without threepio to translate, he finds himself at a  LOSS.  it’s all he can do now to hope that the younger man may be able to fill in the gaps -- if not, they’ll have to find a different approach.

he’d been waiting outside the infirmary room finn was in, his fingers nervously fiddling with the jacket in his hands until he sees finn emerge and a smile breaks out on his face. he’s been so tired, so afraid, and seeing finn there whole and out of the bacta suit? it was enough for just a moment. “hey.” he sounds breathless,foolish, but he’s feeling a little foolish here. “uh, i, fixed your jacket.”

12) things you said when you thought I was asleep / @faceofdefiance

     his goal had been to DISTRACT her so she’d forget about her nightmare. for awhile, it works. she starts off by telling him the silliest, most mundane story she has in her arsenal — something nonsensical from when she lived on jakku that inevitably morphs into a story she hasn’t told ANYONE before, something she doesn’t realize until she’s already halfway through it.

it’s easy for her to say it because she isn’t looking at him, and if he’s looking at her, she isn’t aware of it. she’s got her head on his shoulder and she’s leaning mostly against him while she talks, her voice low to match the late hour of the evening. they should both be ASLEEP by now. they have a long day ahead of them tomorrow.

two stories morph into ten and then she finally realizes that she’s been TALKING for so long when the silence surrounding them seems too still. gently moving away from him the slightest bit, she turns her head and sees that finn is fast asleep. 

her cheeks warm and she is relieved, at first. it’s nice to know that he’d probably slept through any number of EMBARRASSING things she said. more than that, this had worked — the anxiety from her nightmare had almost entirely dissipated, so that now she almost felt at peace enough to go to sleep, too.

“thank you,” she murmured, leaning in to gently press her lips to his cheek. she lingered for a moment in his personal space, and then stood, ready to return to her own quarters to (hopefully) finally sleep through the night.

    he’s watching intently as finn is off in the background talking with fellow resistance members. even though he saved the commander’s life, some people were hesitant to just accept a former first order storm trooper into the enemy’s territory. but as he watched, he saw nothing but smiles. that made him happy to know he was finding his groove amidst this war he didn’t sign up for. even after the jakku crash, he didn’t have to do anything--but he did. that made poe respect him deeply. 

    gaining a moment of opportunity, he saunters behind finn to give him a pat on the back opposite of the patch on the pilot’s former jacket. ❛ hey, buddy. ❜ he began, offering a warm smile. ❛ how’s rose? ❜ he hadn’t had the chance to make personal visits, or even much time for himself. rey was focused on kylo ren, and poe was focused on ensuring the resistance could survive the next day, the next week, the next month and so on.

“I just---” 

A shrug. He doesn’t know how to put it, isn’t even sure if this is something worth admitting --- it’s no good for morale, that’s for sure, and it’s not like Finn doesn’t know what the First Order can do. He knows better than Poe. 

( It’s not like Finn hasn’t seen him at his worst, half-conscious and sure he was walking to his death. Poe’s looked worse than this, felt worse than this. But jumping at shadows still isn’t a good look. )
