Who Is Fucking In Star Wars? A Non-Comprehensive List

So in honor(?) of the DDoS attack on Ao3 preventing us all from mainlining slash fic, I've decided to go horny on main and list off my opinion about 3 traits of all Star Wars characters. Our beloved Galaxy Far Far Away is a usually (tragically) chaste place, which may lead us to ponder about our faves:

Do they even know what sex is?

Have they ever actually HAD sex?

Are they any good at it?

We will not be including characters who are minors in this list. Obviously. Judgements are based somewhat on the lore, but really more on vibes. Perhaps it goes without saying, this will be lightly NSFW.

This is probably gonna take a while and stop feeling like a good idea halfway through. Which of your exes does that describe? Let's Go!!!

Starting with the big three:

Han Solo

Always begin with an easy one.

Does he even know what sex is? Yes, unlike a surprising number of people in this galaxy, Han knows how to do the do.

Has he ever had sex before? Sure (but not as often as he wants you to think). Do you, uh . . . maybe wanna get out of here and come back to his ship? She's called the Millenium Falcon.

Is he good at sex? Look. It's not going to be good the first time. He's gonna keep insisting that he "knows what he's doing," but you wish he would just let you explain what you like. He needs to be girlbossed around a little bit. And it is mostly girls for him, though the occasional guy and non-binary being has mounted that loading ramp too. His bedroom does smell kind of funny.

Luke Skywalker

This one may be controversial for some people.

Does he know what sex is? Nope. Farm boy didn't go to schmool. Skool? Am I saying that right? There were no copies of Our Bodies, Our Selves lying around the rebellion base, and you better believe the Sacred Jedi Texts did not include some kind of version of the Space Kama Sutra. Han wasn't gonna draw him a diagram either; that would be too embarrassing. This man is not learned in the pleasures of the flesh.

Has he ever had sex? Also no. He got into some light over-the-clothes action with Biggs Darklighter when they were teens, but nothing ever went any farther than that.

Is he good at sex? I'm sure a real earnest effort would be made, but we'll never know, will we. Because he DOES NOT KNOW what sex is.

Princess/General Leia Organa

Does she even know what sex is? Oh, absolutely. This woman was treated to an actual formal education. She probably even got a nice, progressive version of SexEd that talked about pleasure and consent and not just all the weird diseases you could get--assuming the Empire didn't nix that sort of thing on Alderaan, which, honestly, they might have.

Has she ever had sex? Of course. And despite being a princess, she's not that precious about courtship either. Casual flings are totally fine and normal.

Is she good at sex? Leia is mature but, like her hairstyles, can be a little tightly wound. Once you get over any initial awkwardness, though, it's sure to be a fun flirty time.

And this is Star Wars, so sooner or later we have to address--

Chewbacca

--the aliens of it all. Welcome, monster fuckers! It's not even weird in this universe!

Does he know what sex is? Chewy is canonically 234 years old as of TLJ, so I'm going to give this a definite yes. Also, he hangs out with Han Solo and all the doors in this universe appear to be panel-controlled. There are no door knobs to stick a sock on; he's SEEN some things.

Has he ever had sex? Again, 234 years old, and Chewy has never seemed like a wallflower. This is also a yes.

Is he good at it? Maz Kanata seems to think so? I don't pretend I have the predilections/imagination to get the appeal (though I honor those that do), but I'm gonna take a swing and say, yes, Chewbacca is a good lover. Solid stamina, surprisingly tender after-care.

Lando Calrissian

Does he know what sex is? Yes, and not just on a mechanical level. If anyone in this universe HAS read the Space Kama Sutra, it's Lando.

Has he ever had sex? He has. And he doesn't keep a list of all his past sexual partners because that would be crass. But he COULD tell you about each of them, names, dates, locations. But he won't. But he could.

Is he good at it? Surprisingly, yes! He may come across as a guy who is all talk, but Lando is an artist at heart and the democratically elected President of Consent. He has mood lighting set up and a tastefully curated playlist. The atmosphere is fun, the oral is enthusiastic. When you're done--wow!--there's a mini bar right near the bed. And would you like to borrow a silk robe?

Your magical evening will not prevent him from cheating you at cards later, though.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Does he know what sex is? No. He learned once, but has since memory-holed the information. Otherwise he might accidentally experience some pleasure from the stick up his bum.

Has he ever had sex? Many beings have made valiant efforts to claim this beautiful man as a conquest. All have failed, but there was much exquisite yearning along the way.

Is he good at it? Hypothetically? Alas, my heart wants to say yes, but my head says no.

Padmé Amidala

Does she know what sex is? Look at this dress. This dress is a CHOICE, a ruthless tactical decision made by someone who definitely knows what sex is.

Has she ever had sex? Yes, but her taste in men--oh, honey.

Is she good at it? A pillow princess if there ever was one. You will be doing all the work.

Anakin Skywalker

Does he know what sex is? No.

Has he ever had sex? Yes.

Is he good at it? . . . and I know those answers seem contradictory, but it's true. This is a man who has had normal, consensual adult sex. However, baby boy's brain is full of more holes than a colander. He is dummy thick actually in the head region. He is incapable of retaining complex thoughts such as the nuances of sexuality.

That said, he is a creature of pure instinct and, like, yeah, the lovemaking is pretty hot.

Mace Windu

Does he know what sex is? Yes.

Has he ever had sex? No.

Is he good at it? If it ever happened, which it won't? No, and Mace is possibly the only Sammy J character for whom this holds true. It would be strictly procreative missionary. No fun allowed.

Yoda

Does he know what sex is? Yes, he is aware. Knowledge is this little frog man's burden; Yoda is too in touch with the Force, the life energy of the universe, not to know. He WOULD not know if he could, but he has had to settle for just ignoring the information.

Has he ever had sex? You know I am genuinely stumped on this one. On one hand, he is the perfect ascetic Jedi sage. On the other hand, a nine hundred year lifespan is a long time . . . anything could have happened to this lilliputian enigma.

Is he good at it? Size matters not.

The Mandalorian

Yeah I know his name is "Din Djarin." Shush.

Does he know what sex is? I'm pretty sure this guy thinks that babies are found, not made. He does not know what sex is.

Has he ever had sex? I don't care what season one implied about Mando and that toothsome twi'lek, it's never happened. The helmet doesn't come off and the trousers don't drop.

Is he good at it? And here's the tragedy of it all, right? Because we know that underneath that impenetrable layer of beskar lies such a man. I don't even care if he's an ace, as seems plausible. Just the chance to look him in the eye would mean worlds.

Finn

Does he know what sex is? Negative, Ghost Rider. It's not something the First Order teaches their child soldiers, and the Resistance, like the rebellion of old, has bigger fish to fry. Poe wants to explain it to him, but feels like he has a dog in that race and it wouldn't be right.

Has he ever had sex? Men, women, and other beings are lining up around the corner for a shot at this man, but he only has eyes for one woman, and she in turn may be legitimately the only person in the galaxy who does not pine for him. Hang in there, Finn! Maybe one day she'll become emotionally available.

Is he good at it? While we have seen Finn makes some selfish moves along his journey--mainly because of, y'know, all the trauma--he has done a lot of growing and is an essentially generous spirit. This gets a yes.

Rey Skywalker

Does she know what sex is? Not in either The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi, but before Rise of Skywalker Leia explained it to her. She's the future of the Jedi after all, and this is basic stuff, goddammit Luke!

Has she ever had sex? Hmm, what's that? Sorry, she's super busy right now with, like, destiny and stuff.

Is she good at it? Rey seems to pick most things up fairly quickly, so you have to imagine that would hold true for l'amour as well, except that she'll also be a bit of a try-hard. Do less, sweety. Really, it's fine.

Lightning Round

Asajj Ventress

Yes, yes, and it depends on the answer to one question: do you enjoy pain?

L3-37

It Works.

Cinta Kaz

Yes, yes, and not just good but so good it will politically radicalize you.

Karis Nemik

No, which is a shame because you know that he would have made sex-positive feminism and queer theory a huge part of his manifesto.

Count Dooku

Gay, and pulled legendary numbers of exquisite vintage ass across the galaxy. It's the real reason Sidious traded him in for simple, pussy-whipped Anakin. He just couldn't take it anymore.

Luthen Rael

Hope you like role-play.

Armitage Hux

Yes, it's true; this man has no dick.

Qi'ra

Yes, yes, and good but maybe in a dangerous way? Like drugs, it's possible that you--maybe even most people--could have a healthy, well-adjusted relationship to it. But there's a chance also that it will alter your brain chemistry, fundamentally shift your priorities, and ruin your life. The only way for sure to be safe is not to try it, not even once!

The Bendu

The One in the Middle. So in this case, would that be, like, the taint?

Reva Sevander

I mean, do you like it freaky? How freaky do you like it? There are levels to this sort of thing, and you, through no fault of your own, may not be ready for this ride.

Cassian Andor

Cassian Andor fucks.

The Armorer

I tried to get a read on this one, and all I picked up was radio static. We'll never know. We'll just never know.

Rose Tico

Rose appears naive at first, but she's actually quite worldly and will rock yours.

Bo-Katan Kryze

I daresay more than 2% of us want her to sit on our face. Ms. Sackoff was really lowballing it. Bo does not know what sex is, however, and is rarely in listening-mode, so that's a hurdle we'll have to overcome.

But it's more than 2%.

Poe Dameron

Yes, yes, and does it even matter? It would be an honor just to be considered, sir.

Hera Syndulla

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets. Apparently what Lola wants is an inexperienced, sexually repressed Jedi hotty. In this way, she is the true queen of Star Wars fandom. Captain our ship, Hera!

And Finally:

Kylo Ren

I do not understand the hold this man has on some of you--which is fine; you don't need me to understand it. He does not know what sex is, he is so horny and angry all the time. And sure, maybe you CAN fix him by completing his education. Blessings, angels. Live your fantasy.

Just promise me you'll use protection? And I don't mean a condom, I mean body armor.

Grogu Story links in AO3

A few people have asked and at least one very recently, if I had something that could show the timeline of all the stories I write with my OC Ta'lan Bet and of course with Grogu and Din Djarin. So here it is. Sort Of.

The first list shows the Ta'lan Bet stories. I have written more content for her, I just haven't posted it. If you want to see them, let me know. Not all of her content is for general consumption.

Then a Mandalorian story of how the Darksaber was brought back to the Jedi Temple. It was a request from another reader. I have more like it if you want to read them. Let me know and I will post them.

Then I have the stories that involve Grogu, Din Djarin and Ta'lan Bet. They are shown in order. These are set after the events of the TV series (so far) and cover a lot of territory.

Finally, finally, if you have a story suggestion, or think an existing story could use another chapter, or you need an explainer, let me know. There is a file that provides some background for Ta'lan Bet, the Brethren, Seb, etc.

I will post a list of links to the other content when I have more time. I still have to write somethings today.

A ship I have with said character: SHUMIKA. i dont necessarily consider myself a monoshipper but in my mind i can barely picture him with anyone else. like they just have a Thing going on and it feels just slightly off to me to ship him with other people?? big fan of narushumika though

A BROTP I have with said character: ALL OF THE ECCENTRICS theyre so beloved and dear to me,,,,,,,,,,,those r his best friends,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i especially really like his friendship with kanata i think theyre sweet

also also nazuna because i want them to properly be friends again. that one 8th anniv interaction between them was such good crumbs i need more

A NOTP I have with said character: its not necessarily a notp but im not very fond of romantic shunazu because i think its funnier when shu is just Like That to him even though he was not in love with him

So a Japanese YouTuber, hayato3046, decided to go through the whole of the second season of the anime for a "Skinship Ranking". Like, we have the impression that Yu gets touchy-feely with the other girls — but does she touch them more than they touch her? Well, here's the top ten touchers:

(Shioriko, Lanzhu, and Mia are included in the rankings but didn't make the top 10; Lanzhu was 11th at 15 points, and Shioriko and Mia tied for 12th at 11 points.)

The breakdown of who touched whom (plus further details from my own examination of the data) follows:

First, a machine translation of four rules that were considered when counting touches:

And here's the X touches Y data.

(These are organized with the touch-er down the side and the touch-er along the top; the fact that everyone's points are in their own color helps with the presentation.)

What this mostly makes clear is the degree of clustering involved. Ayumu gets her ranking mostly by touching Yu and, to a lesser extent, Setsuna — episode 5 really juiced her scores on both counts — while our winner Kasumi is pretty touchy with everybody, with bumps for her fellow first-years and her beloved senpai.

To be clear, hayato3046 considers these as largely asymmetric; if you consider, say, the sequence in episode 4 where Rina hugs Ai from behind, Ai doesn't also get a point until she pats Rina's head afterwards.

Which is why, for shipping data purposes, I combined these numbers to get us a top 15, summing touches each way among the XX pairings.

1) Ayumu x Yu: 47

2) Ayumu x Setsuna: 28

3) Karin x Emma: 26

4) Kanata x Emma: 25

5) Kasumi x Shizuku: 23

5) Kasumi x Kanata: 23

7) Kasumi x Rina: 22

8) Ai x Rina: 20

9) Karin x Ai: 18

10) Emma x Rina: 16

11) Kasumi x Yu: 15

12) Karin x Kanata: 13

13) Ai x Kanata: 11

14) Kasumi x Emma: 10

14) Shizuku x Kanata: 10

14) Shizuku x Rina: 10

And of course, here's the original video:

So there you go. We do see most of the firmly established pairings from the original Nijigasaki lineup here; the exceptions are the ones featuring R3BIRTH and the pre-SIFAS pairings of SetsuKasu, KariKasu, and KariSetsu from the Dengeki 4komas. (I suspect the R3BIRTH girls are so low in the rankings because the anime spent so many episodes on the other subunits.)

The whole list of 78 possible couplings — the combinatoric of (13 2), or 12+11+10+9+...3+2+1 — is too long to give in this post, but here's a Google Sheets spreadsheet of the data.

Okay so awhile back I was looking at card art on School Idol Tomodachi which I like to check regularly cuz it’s fun to look at cards as they release.

Nijigasaki High had a paint themed card set and the dork that I am of course I love picking out little details that can be ship hints but definitely subtext and speculation and just me turning something that it’s probably not.

Anyway, I was looking at the Emma and Kanata cards and...

Emma has a bucket of green paint, right? Probably cuz her image color is green and then I looked at Kanata’s card:

And how she has a blotch of green paint on the butt pocket of her overalls. Pfft. I’m sure it’s a probably a different shade of green (a bit lighter) but I just cracked up at this detail cuz to me, I head canon that Emma splashed some green paint on Kanata as a playful way of “marking her territory” for lack of better word.

All and all, just me being a dork about the ships I’m into. This is all just my own interpretation after all.

*Todo doesn’t question Bane when he abruptly drops them out of hyperspace, enters new coordinates, and reactivates the hyperdrive.

Bane’s muscles are rigid, his face fixed into a grimace as he stares at the navicomputer readout, planning the shortest course to Takodana. It would require traveling an Imperial-controlled hyperspace lane, but Bane didn’t think twice.

They weren’t far from the Western Reaches, but the wait was still too long. When he wasn’t seated in his pilot chair hunched forward, then he was pacing, or cleaning his LL-30s. Not that he could use them where he was going.

The navicomputer chiming has him practically leaping to his feet, and he takes the pilot chair, fingers drumming impatiently against the helm.

Hyperspace refocuses into a sea of stars, the green-blue lush planet below, and Bane ushers the ship down into the atmosphere. He skims the swathes of forests, coming in hot to the nearby shipyard where ships of every size and class were landed.

Bane locks the Justifier up tight, leaving Todo onboard to alert him to anyone snooping around his ship, and he heads inside the castle--or more accurately, he stalks inside, his lips pressed together as he scans the open parlor.

The room is full tonight--a few games of rowdy sabacc, and plenty of people simply drinking, watching, or making deals. The entire room falls silent when Bane steps inside.

He scans the crowd, only caring about spotting one particular blue head, but there are no Duros out in the parlor tonight. He receives a stare from Maz’s enforcer droid, and he gives her a polite nod before heading straight for the one place in this den of sinners he can find some honest answers.

He weaves through the still crowd, the only sound breaking the silence is the scrape of chairs of those in his way, hurrying to move out of it.

The small woman is manning the bar as she usually is, a place where she can watch all the brief denizens of her castle, and her googled eyes are already fixed on Bane by the time he spots her.

Bane gives her a tip of his brim, minding his manners even as his sense of urgency and impatience is nearly suffocating.*

“Aren’t you a sight for old eyes. Been some time, Cad.”

Maz.

*She looks him over with those perceptive eyes of hers, and Bane feels like a bug under a piece of glass. He always does with this woman*

“Looking for someone?”

*Her smile is knowing, but there’s a bit of stubbornness to it as he swipes at his hand with her washing cloth*

“You better not be scoping bounties again, Cad.”

I’m not.

*She stares at him, the smile gone now, and he sighs. Kanata always did like her deals. Apparently, information for information was the deal of choice tonight*

He’s a... friend.

“A friend? He must be very special to you.”

*There’s no use lying to Kanata, Bane had learned that quickly*

...He is.

*Her eyes brighten, as if he’d confirmed something*

“Well, what does this fellow look like?”

Blue. Big head. Runs his mouth when he shouldn’t.

"Are you sure it's not yourself you speak of?"

My head ain’t that big.

“Arguable. He’s upstairs, room 22.”

*Bane goes still*

Ye gave him a room?

“I didn’t. But someone did.”

*Bane moves from the bar before she can finish her sentence, and the old woman tsks behind him at the dismissal, calling after him with a warning, “You know my rules, Cad! No fighting!”

That was fine with Bane. He would put the fear of the Maker into whoever had led Suurgav away without laying a finger on them*

Right so I have a lot of Obi-Wan-centric ideas that will not leave me alone, but here's one that I wanted to write down the start of (and also Maz Kanata deserved more screen time):

Where Obi-Wan gets taught by Maz Kanata to deal with his overwhelming visions, questionably nice-ish Sith and frankly vicious Jedi holocrons, and somehow unexpectedly (or maybe predictably?) falls in love with Jango Fett, the future Mand'alor. Along the way, he royally fucks up the thousand-year-plan-to-rule-the-galaxy made by Darth Bane's idiots, saves the Haat Mando'ade and Mandalore as a whole, and gives the Jedi Order a collective kick in the ass to get their shit together.

----

Obi-Wan Falls while on Melida/Daan, and he's just...furious. Wants to rail at the injustice that he's suffered, at the injustice that the Young had faced, that he had faced on Bandomeer, on Phindar, at the Coruscant Temple itself, at his own Master who didn't even want him in the first place. But at his core, he's still the same even having Fallen, he knows this - he still wants to do good, still wants to help people. It's just...where does he go from here?

----

Obi-Wan Kenobi, cast out from the Order after the latest clusterfuck that was Melida/Daan, somehow ends up at Dex's Diner, alone, with no braid, no 'sabre, and honestly, no idea what to do next. He didn't even realize that he was in the diner that his Master - former Master - had taken him to in their brief time together.

Dex, though, sits across from this pint-sized former-Padawan, remembers that at one time the baby Jedi looked at him and decided that he'd save Dex because it was "the right thing to do " (the baby Jedi's words, not his). And Dex could not let this kid go out on his own, so he goes to his collection of interesting things - which was usually information - that included items which were supplied by a former pirate, who so happened to be quite knowledgeable in weird Force things.

Which is entirely the reason I'm entrusting Ol' Kanata with this kid, Dex thinks, a bit bemused, Though who's to say it's not Maz trusting me to lead Obi-Wan back to her? Considering she probably saw this coming in the first place.

So, he discreetly hands Obi-Wan the things he'd received from Maz for safe-keeping (who had given Dex a knowing look and said she'd be seeing these items again) - which, obviously, include a few holocrons (of slightly questionable nature), many spare credit chips, and (maybe not-so-suprisingly) two khyber and one adegan crystals that sing in the Force loudly enough to startle Obi-Wan from the daze he'd been in since he sat down.

"What's this?" Obi-Wan quietly asks, slightly wary, but intrigued at the hum of the crystals now in his hands.

Dex laughs. "Don't you worry, kid. I got all of this from a reputable source! In fact, that source could be your next stop, as from what I understand you ain't got no one to go back to?" Dex says, not unkindly.

A sharp sting of sorrow cuts Obi-Wan to the core, but he nods, somewhat confused.

"Well then, I can get you on a ship headed out to Takodana to stay with Ol' Kanata - she can get you settled real quick-like," he pauses, shrugs a little, "she'll also be able to help with any funny Force things that your kind get up to, Dark or Light."

The thing is, even only knowing Dex for a short while, Obi-Wan is one hundred percent sure that Dex knows an entirely illegal amount about what happened even if the larger populace remains unaware.

With this knowledge at the forefront of his mind, Obi-Wan is a bit wary. If he were a bit less numb, he'd probably be in tears at the suggestion that there might be someone actually able to help him deal with his recent trip into the well of the Dark. He knew that if someone were truly aware of how far he'd Fallen - because not even the Council knew the extent - then he would be in major karking shit.

But he counted Dex as a friend, and with a little questioning nudge to the Force, knew with certainty that Dex only wanted to help him, even if that meant skirting Republic law.

(He knew he Fell, he knew that he had killed people, though the memories of broken bodies and blood were so blurry that he couldn't remember their faces.

Their screams, on the other hand? Oh, he remembered those.

He couldn't stop remembering those.

A small part of him - the part that had raged at the Republic's refusal to get involved, at Master Jinn's own karking attachment to Master Tahl, at the Elders murdering each other, at the Elders killing their own damned children for the sake of war and death and blood - that part bared sharp teeth in savage triumph at the justice he had handed out and purred at the memory of those screams.)

Shaking himself from the direction his thoughts had taken, he looked at Dex and with a tremor in his voice, asked, "You think she could help me-help me get rid of my Darkness?"

The Besalisk sighed. "Kid, no one can ever truly get rid of their own Darkness. Hells, I know I'm not fully clean anymore and won't ever be," Obi-Wan slumped, and hastily wiped away the frustrated tears that had started to form; Dex leaned down to put one of his hands on Obi-Wan's shoulders, "But that doesn't mean she can't help you. Ol' Kanata knows a thing or two about Light and Dark, and she'll give you a space where you can sort things out for yourself, safely, and away from prying eyes. She knows quite a bit about staying off the Republic's radar, and she can give you a place where you can do all things you need to do. I know you, kid - I know that you won't want to stop helping people."

Dex paused, and said with warning, "It won't be easy, kid. There's all sorts hanging around her den - bounty hunters, smugglers, even Mandos - but she'll do right by you. And I have a sense that you need her. So. Whaddya say?"

The mention of those types of people, of Mandalorians, caused Obi-Wan to pale. But he frowned, opened himself up to the currents of the Force and tried to think this through, because really what choice did he have?

On some level he wanted to say no, to go crawling back to the Jedi Order and beg to be accepted again, to be a Jedi, he knew he was supposed to have been a Jedi Knight, he knew that war was on the horizon and that Darkness clouded the Force and that he needed to do something -

He stopped that thought in it's tracks. Because. Because...what was stopping him from doing something about what was coming? Truly? What was stopping him from being a Jedi? Yes, he wouldn't be a part of the Order, and maybe he wouldn't have a Master, but isn't the Code just a philosophy? Couldn't he strive to do good, to help others, to do as the Force willed on his own?

It was almost heretical. To be a Jedi that didn't bow to the Order. To be a Fallen Jedi that, that...that could work in the Dark to serve the Light.

He could do it, he mused. He could go to this 'Kanata', take the offer of shelter and learn from the artifacts given to him by Dex, learn from those who walked a different path. It would be dangerous, especially if there were Mandalorians involved. Though...if he did this, he wouldn't be a Jedi anymore, would he?

What else did he have to lose? He's already lost his chance at being part of the Order, at being a Padawan, at proving himself to the Masters that thought him too arrogant and brash and un-Jedi-like.

Well, Obi-Wan thought with a bit of self-reproach and no small amount of growing excitement, if I was already un-Jedi-like while actually being in the Jedi Order, then I suppose I really don't have anything to lose, do I?

With a nod of determination, a tight grip on the newly aquired items, and something of a new hope unfurling in is heart, he accepted Dex's offer of a haven with Maz Kanata and her possibly-not-so-legal den of wandering spacers.

Obi-Wan had no idea that in doing so, he changed the course of the galaxy.

(Somewhere, a bit later on, Palpatine feels a shiver of not-quite-unease crawl down his spine. But, he dismisses the absolute absurd idea that something had changed, that something had caused the galaxy to shift to the Light.

If he had looked into it, he would have found that one Maz Kanata, along with a former young Jedi by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi, had a curious little run-in with the bounty hunter and Mand'alor Jaster Mereel.

Arrogance, as per usual, would be the downfall of the Sith of Bane's Line.)

My Astra Lost in Space ships, in order of preference:

(Spoilers for both the manga and the anime ahead!)

1. Zack x Quitterie

I LOVE everything about this ship. The childhood friends to lovers. The loud, emotional one and the quiet, composed one. The genius duo. The absolute idiots to lovers. Not to mention how obsessed I am with the dynamic of "A isn't sure how B feels about them, while B is just like, 'we're getting married, aren't we?'" Absolutely everything about this is perfect and on point and I love it.

2. Kanata x Aries

Ummm, hi, these two are adorable. They're both such sweethearts, and they work really well together. Not a lot to say here, except that I love them and want them to be really happy together.

3. Ulgar x Funicia

So this is one that I feel like won't make much sense to the anime-only crowd, but Funi and Ulgar have this really sweet friendship going on in the background of all the drama going in this series (a lot of their scenes together ended up being cut from the anime, presumably as it was a very quiet, relatively-unimportant-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things sort of thing), which I feel like could develop into an adorable relationship once Funicia's grown up. I mean, look at those smiles! How happy and comfortable they are around each other! The way he's just casually wearing her flower! Anyhoo, I love this ship and refuse to hear a word against it.

4. Ulgar x Polina

Hello, multishipper over here! I think there's potential for a really interesting story here, beyond "oh, are they actually going on a date at the end?" First off, the interplay between the reporter and the historian is a vastly underappreciated dynamic-- someone who deals in the here-and-now with someone who deals in the way-back-when, and how both of them can work together in that area is super interesting. Second, Ulgar has never trusted adults. His brother told him that the adults were lying, and he was right. Polina is the first adult he's ever met (aside from his brother, obviously) who he could really trust-- the first one who he could be sure wasn't lying to him. That's powerful. Falling in love with her after that wouldn't be at all surprising. (Ulgar's feelings about other people are complicated. He's never had a problem with kids-- see above on his friendship with Funicia-- and while he started off awkward with people his own age, he was able to work past that over the course of the story. The last hurdle he has to clear is finding a way to get along with people older than him-- and Polina's going to be a key part of any narrative along those lines.) Also, maybe they are going on a date at the end! Who knows?

5. Ulgar x Luca

I did mention that I was a multishipper, right? Luca and Ulgar's arc is really compelling, and while I do prefer them as friends, I can see a lot of possibility for an eventual romance here. The brooding one and the sunshine one can be really a interesting dynamic, and they play really well off of each other. It's just a fun ship all around.

6. Charce x Yun-hua

I'm not super invested in this ship (honestly, I feel like these two would do well with expanding the dating pool here-- there are other fish in the sea, and these characters don't all have to date within the friend group), but they do have some cute scenes together, and I feel like their personalities and backstories make would make them a pretty well-suited couple if they did decide to go down that route. (Also, Yun-ha deserves a man who will worship at her feet and tell her how beautiful and wonderful she is all day every day, and that is totally Charce.)

7. Ulgar x Yun-hua

This ship mostly just appeals to me because of the aesthetic-- they'd make an attractive couple, and they appear next to each other a lot. Plus, they'd do well with an introvert-introvert dynamic. You know, like, "spending time with you is almost as nice as spending it by myself?"

There are several other ships I find vaguely appealing-- with ten characters the shipping possiblities are endless-- but these seven are the ones I'm most interested in.

Don’t Be Afraid: Poe Dameron x Solo!Reader - Chapter Twenty One

Chapter Twenty One: Old Friends

Series Masterlist

Plot: Y/n and Poe pay a visit to Maz Kanata, but don’t find what they expect to.

Warnings: maybe one curse word

Word Count: 6.1k

A/N: This day has been...a day...and I almost didn’t get this one out because of how long it took me to edit. There’s so much dialogue in these chapters that can’t be cut (especially about planets created for Resistance Reborn lol) so sometimes I feel like it’s a bit messy. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

————

“Y/n. Sweetheart, wake up.”

I groggily moaned as I forced my eyes open, blinking a couple times till my vision was clear. I hadn’t intended to fall asleep but as soon as Poe had said it was going to be a while till we arrived at our destination, I was out like a light. We were flying a one man ship so I’d inevitably ended up sitting on Poe’s lap, the sound of his heartbeat had soothed me to sleep.

“We’re coming into the atmosphere,” he announced.

“Good,” I yawned, “Anything from the Falcon?”

Poe shook his head, “Nothing yet.”  “Wow,” I breathed as I took a look at the planet we were approaching, “That’s Ephemera, huh?”  It’s beautiful, Bee commented.

“It is beautiful,” Poe replied, bringing one hand off the controls to squeeze my thigh affectionately.

What kind of planet is it?  “It was once a mining planet, like Bespin. But here they mined the tibanna gas to extinction.” Poe explained to the droid, “After it was all gone, the Empire abandoned its colonies and most of the settlers ran with them. Good riddance, from what I hear. It left the planet back in the hands of its original inhabitants and a few holdouts who weren’t there just to cash in but had grown to love the place. And then, surprise, they discovered tuusah.”

“What’s tuusah?” I asked, still admiring the colors of the planet.  “Residue from the mine runoff. Turns out tuusah has medicinal properties, so a new industry was born. Maybe it wasn’t as lucrative as the Empire’s strip mining, but it was a heck of a lot kinder to the planet’s flora and fauna.”

When were they ever kind?  “You’re right,” he said. “The Empire has never been kind. But the planet is a resort destination now, and the capital is called Wish. What a name, right? It used to be Outpost 665 or something boring like that. But now? Wish. It’s one of the largest spas in the galaxy. All kinds of mineral baths and healing treatments and some kind of legendary oxide therapy that’s supposed to make you look younger.”

Poe and I had both seen our share of the galaxy and anytime we’d go on missions together, we’d get into a debate of who knew more about the planet’s history. Once we knew where we’d be going, we’d both usually try to cram as many facts into our heads in an attempt to outsmart the other.

“What?” he chuckled as he caught me staring at him.

“Nothing,” I grinned, “Just enjoying the lecture, Professor Dameron. When’d you find time to study?”

Poe’s lips tugged upwards into a small smirk, “Doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ve got nothing.”  They don’t have any treatments for droids, right?  “I think you’re safe. Bee,” I laughed, “We’re not here for facials, we’re here for Maz.”  Poe flew us through the pastel clouds of the planet, it was absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn’t have minded coming back at some point. But the thought of visiting planets purely for recreation seemed like a distant dream. Maybe one day Poe and I could vacation somewhere but for now, our trips were centered on war.

A transmission came in from the landing strip.

“Welcome to Ephemera airspace,” came from a breathy, zen-like voice, “Please identify yourself so that we can grant you landing clearance.”  “This is…” Poe hesitated in giving his name, we hadn’t thought whether or not we should’ve been using aliases. Was it likely that the First Order was hiding out on a planet known for their spa facilities? No. But being cautious never hurt anyone, especially people in our situation.

“Poe Dameron, is that you?” a familiar voice came through, “Oh, give me that mike, dear, I can take it from here.” There were more muffled protests on the other side, leaving us confused.  “Maz?” Poe called.

“What? Of course it’s me, you fool. Who else would have asked you to this backwater?”  “Maz, is everything all right?” I asked.  “Baby Solo! Your boyfriend didn’t tell me you were coming too!” she cried happily, putting heavy emphasis on the word ’boyfriend’.

“Yeah, it sounded like something was going on.” I replied.

“Bah. Just some people getting a little possessive with the equipment. Nothing to concern yourself with. I’ve handled it. Now hurry up. I haven’t got all day.”

Poe furrowed his brows as we looked for a place to park, “Uh, I’d be happy to land, but I don’t see anything that looks like it’ll hold the ship up. Am I in the right place?”

“Oh, you’re right. Isn’t that funny? Some kind of security measure, the locals assure me, but really I think they’re just partial to the undulation.”

“Undulation?” I repeated.

“You’ll see. Everything here sways a bit. Now...let me...”

It took a moment of hearing various sounds on Maz’s end before one of the platforms solidified before our eyes.

“What in the...?” Poe mumbled to himself.

“It’s perfectly safe, Dameron.” Maz assured, “Now are you going to land or not? I thought you were on urgent Resistance business.”

I shook my head in disbelief, only Maz could have picked a place like this. “Copy,” I said. “We’ll see you in a few minutes.”

“Good, good. See you soon. Oh, are you hungry? Have you two eaten? I should have food brought up, shouldn’t I? I’ll have to ask them to prepare something special unless...you don’t have time for a psychedelic experience do you?”

Poe chortled at the question, “Not today, Maz. Like you said, urgent business.”

We landed on the, surprisingly stable, platform Maz had formed for us and headed into the grand looking facility. For all my years of knowing Maz, I still sometimes didn’t understand her. Her connections spanned across the galaxy and back, she knew everybody from beggars on the streets to political diplomats. She had eyes everywhere even if she didn’t move around all that much. Out of all the people the Resistance was seeking aide from, I had no doubt that Maz could probably help us the most.

————

“I’m not helping you with anything,” Maz said, adjusting her goggles to see us clearer. Our faces were nothing sort of shocked. “If you recall, last time I stuck my neck out for the Resistance, the First Order destroyed my castle. Do you know how much I loved that castle?”

“I know, it was spectacular.” I replied, memories of that day flooding back.

“The best. Do you know how long I had had it?”

“A thousand years?” Poe offered.

“A thou...” Max paused, and shot daggers at Poe, who offered her a playful smile in return, “Longer than you’ve been around, flyboy, that’s for sure. So don’t sniff at me like I’m being unreasonable.”

Maz put her hands in a bowl of colorful thick goop and pulled out a handful. It reeked something awful but she didn’t seem to mind as she offered us some, “You want?”

“No, we’re fine.” Poe answered for both of us, my face was scrunched up in disgust at the odor.

Here we were, sitting on lounge chairs inside one of Wish’s day spas putting everything out on the line. And here Maz was refusing to help us. She was perfectly content to sit with her feet soaking in mud and having attendants bring her various teas. She hummed as she rubbed the gelatinous stuff into her face without a care in the world when Poe and I bore the fate of the galaxy on our shoulders.

“What is that stuff? It smells horrid.” I commented, taking another whiff of the air and immediately regretting it.

“Feline poop.” Maz answered casually, “From some species that’s lived here so long that it’s practically native to the planet. Imagine. A planet with no solid ground but plenty of cats. The story is that the founder of Ephemera was a Rothkahar philosopher. He domesticated this species because he thought them of advanced intelligence...or maybe they domesticated him. I forget. Anyway, later on, he found that their excrement had healing properties. High concentrations of tibanna gas, naturally processed into tuusah. Does wonders for the skin.”

Rubbing animal feces into your body to achieve better looking skin. Sure. Totally normal.

“That’s great, Maz,” Poe said, changing the topic quickly, “But can we get back to the topic at hand? The Resistance needs your help.”

“Yes, you told me.”

“We need a place to hide and regroup. It needs to be outside of prying First Order eyes but able to handle our needs for housing, supplies, communications...” Poe explained.

“Didn’t you say there were only a handful of you left on a single ship? What needs could you have?” she replied.

Poe and I glanced over to each other, surprised at how insensitive she sounded. This wasn’t the Maz I knew.

“There’s going to be more,” I pointed out, “The Resistance is scattered across the galaxy and we’re going to continue to grow. We need shelter but we also need people like you. Leia was the only member of our leadership that survived, we need your help in leading the Resistance.”  “Lead the Resistance?” Maz’s eyes moved suspiciously between Poe and I, “I thought that was your job.”

“We…” Poe began, biting his tongue almost immediately. Very few knew about our demotions but we wore shame as if the whole galaxy mocked us.

“Expecting me to do your job for you?” Maz grumbled with a humorless laugh, “You two are the commanders in the room. Or has that changed?”

“Nothing’s changed,” Poe replied quickly, causing me to turn to him in confusion. Were we supposed to lie and cover up the fact that we’d lost our titles? Either way, Maz didn’t seem to care as she lay back in her lounger and closed her eyes. We waited for something, anything, to come out of her mouth. She always had some sort of unique and cryptic wisdom to offer. It was when light snores escaped her lips that it seemed like it was a hopeless cause.

Poe rose from his seat and offered me his hand, “This was a waste of time. We should go.”

“No!” Maz shouted suddenly, grabbing hold of his wrist. All of her trademark personality had left the one eye she had opened and she was dead serious. “Listen closely to me, Poe Dameron. You see me like this, and you think me a fool. Good for me, because when an enemy perceives you as foolish or weak, that is when they are most vulnerable in their arrogance. That is when you strike.”  Upon her last word, she yanked down on Poe’s hand and his feet went out from under him. He landed harshly on his back and had the wind knocked out of him on impact. I rose to help him up but Maz forcefully pushed me back onto my lounge chair with her other hand. She climbed off her seat and stepped onto Poe’s chest, bending over so that her face was almost touching his.

“I see arrogance in you. And that is what gets you in trouble, causes pain.” Maz observed before blindly pointing to me, “And fear in you. It’s controlled you all your life.”

I hated when Maz did this, or at least when it was directed at me. While my ego played a part in the mutiny, fear had been my main motive. Fear played a bigger part in my life than Maz even knew. It stopped me from picking up my lightsaber, it stopped me from telling people that I was Force sensitive, it delayed me from deciding to train as a Jedi…

“We learned our lesson,” Poe gritted out, still pinned down and I didn’t dare to help him.

“Have we?” Maz asked, looking between the two of us.

I struggled for words, I didn’t want to have to recount the events again. Especially to someone who could see right through me. The few times I’d slept since Crait had been filled with nightmares containing the transports exploding and the screams of my fallen comrades. Asleep or awake, I was being forced to relive my mistake constantly.

“You asked if we were still leaders,” Poe started, he could tell I was too wrapped in my thoughts to speak, “The truth is that I don’t know. W-We made some mistakes...”

“Mistakes?” Maz repeated.

“We led a mutiny,” I blurted out, the truth flowing from my lips quicker than I could manage. “We were being kept in the dark and didn’t trust the person in charge. I had just lost Dad and Mom was in a coma and I panicked, alright? I-I felt like I had to do something! I didn’t want anyone else to die and we ended up killing so many.”

“And did you?” Maz jutted her chin up as she looked at me, “Have to do something?”

 I blinked away the tears that filled my eyes, guilt rose in my chest as I thought of Holdo. Standing in the hanger as she watched our transports flee the Raddus, she had everything under control while I’d been scheming behind her back.

“No,” I trembled and ducked my head as if that would shield me from her vision.

“Dameron?” 

“No,” he said, “I’m a soldier and she was my commanding officer. All I had to do was trust.”

I peered up to see Maz plop down on Poe’s chest, a sight that should’ve amused me, but didn’t. The moment had drained me of every emotion that wasn’t sorrow or guilt.

“And now what?” she asked.

“What?” Poe said, his eyes rested on me to make sure I was relatively alright.

“Let’s say you’re right. That your actions, your arrogance, got many people killed. Led the Resistance to where they are now: broken, on the run, destitute, and begging for help.”

As I stayed silent, Poe spoke up, “We fix it.”

“How will you do that?” she asked. “You can’t bring the dead back. You can’t single-handedly rebuild the Resistance, although,” Maz snorted and looked between the two of us, “If anyone was going to try it would be you two.”  “I can bring down the First Order.” Poe answered.

“Alone?” Maz raised her eyebrows in amusement

“If I have to.”

She shook her head, “Arrogance. Still.” Maz adjusted her position so she was kneeling over him, “You know who else is arrogant? The First Order.”

“The First Order is evil, Maz, that’s not a fair comparison.” I stuck up for my boyfriend, sniffling after, “No one knows that better than me.”

Maz adjusted her goggles again, seemingly staring straight into my soul. While I’d never explicitly told her about my family history, she’d always known. If you knew the Solo family, it wasn’t hard to connect the dots as to why we suddenly became a permanent party of three one day. I hoped she wouldn’t push it, that was one wound I didn’t need reopened.

“I’ve seen evil in many forms, children. The First Order is no worse than the Sith, or the Empire, or countless others who would use the dark side. As always, they must be countered with the light. But...” Maz finally climbed off of Poe and came back to sit on her lounge chair, removing her spectacles as she did, “I have my own way of fighting. Not everything is about armadas and starfighters, you know.”

Poe sat up finally, rubbing at his sore back and stared at Maz. I was just as surprised, I never thought that she would be the one to disappoint me. She seemed so…

“You think I’m callous,” she finished my thought, “But I’m not. You will be fine without me.”

I scoffed at her dismissal and stood up, “You’re the last person I would’ve expected to say no to helping, Maz. Especially after what happened to Dad…”  “I sure hope you’re right, lady,” Poe said bitterly, “Because if you’re not, me and mine are going to die. And you can sit with that for a thousand more years for all I care.”

With that, we silently made our way out of the spa feeling like even bigger failures than we had when we entered.

————

I dried the last of my tears as Poe asked for clearance to leave for the second time, only to be denied. One of his arms was tightly wound around my torso, Maz’s questioning had opened a floodgate I’d been trying to keep shut. The mutiny, Holdo, Dad…I wished more than anything that my father was here, he would know exactly what to do. How to rebuild, how to lead, how to atone for my sins…

I growled and smacked the side window of our ship, “Why won’t they just let us off this damned planet?”  Poe tried again to be met with the same breathy voice with a different message, “Negative, pilot. You have company.” 

We looked around through the pastel fog that surrounded us and found nothing. A sudden knock on the window had us both jumping and reaching for our blasters till we saw who it was. Maz.

“Open up,” she said with another tap on the glass.

Poe opened the cockpit and Maz leaned into the small space.

“There’s something I meant to tell you before you ran off like that. But first, where did you get this ship? It’s a relic.”

“It’s a loaner.” Poe answered exasperatedly, “I told you we’re down to scrap metal, everything else destroyed. Now what do you want?”

“It’s a relic, but it’s also a collectible. When you’re done with it, come see me. I might buy it.”

I sighed frustratedly, “Maz, what do you want? We’ve got places to be.” That was a lie, we had absolutely nowhere to go.

Maz waved us off as if we had all the time in the world. “We’ve long suspected that the First Order has been taking children and disappearing people on the margins of the galaxy. But things are escalating now: arresting people on phony trumped-up charges. Small crimes that they’ve blown up into capital offenses, or charges simply fabricated out of nothing. People going missing in the dead of night, their families having no idea what happened to them. Nighttime raids or picked up off the streets and vanished. And the people most likely to disappear? People with ties to the old rebellion. And interestingly enough, we’re seeing it with some old Imperials, as well. Those who have been outspoken about their distaste for the First Order, but also those who have remained neutral. Anyone who might pose a threat, now or down the line.”

“Do you think that’s what happened to our allies?” I thought out loud, “They could’ve been arrested?”  “Maybe. Possibly.” Maz answered with a shrug, “But the First Order used to do it in secret. Now they don’t bother. They snatch people off the streets and don’t even pretend to have whatever planet they’ve infiltrated hold a sham trial. Just death or labor camps.”

“Labor camps?” Poe breathed, it was a heavy revelation.

“Someone has to build all those fancy new ships, eh?”

Poe and I shared a look, trying processing the information. “Thanks, Maz,” he said thoughtfully, “Leia will want to know about this.”

“Yes, I thought she might. Rumor has it that there’s a list somewhere of all the people they’ve taken. A big list. No one’s seen it, but I’ve got people chasing it down. I hear something definitive, I’ll call you.”

“Please do,” I responded with a single nod.

“You sure you don’t want to sell this ship?” Maz gestured to our ship once more.

“Not ours to sell.” Poe replied.

“A shame.”

Poe began to close the cockpit just as Maz called our names, “Poe! Y/n!”

We turned our heads to see a knowing smile on her face, “Be the light.”

————

We’d just gotten off Ephemera when we began to discuss the visit.

Bee initiated the conversation, What’s wrong?

“I guess I expected more.” Poe answered, earning a hum of agreement from me.

Well, what did you expect?

“Anything. I’ve known Maz a long time and never once has she disappointed me.” I shook my head, “Guess I can’t say that anymore.”

I’m sorry.

“Maybe our expectations were too high.” Poe let out a heavy sigh.

I leaned my head back against his shoulder and let out a similar sound. My mind was swirling with chaos, most of which I’d created for myself. I felt like there was going to be a dark cloud of shame that followed me around for the rest of my life. Poe’s reply to Maz back in the spa still had me thinking though, we had to fix our mistake. We couldn’t bring back the people we’d lost, but we could try to make amends. The question of how we would do that, I still didn’t have an answer for but I was determined enough to figure it out.

Communication coming in, it’s from the Millennium Falcon.

I sucked in a breath, it was the first contact I’d had since I’d left the ship. What was waiting on the other end? I felt my anxiety building once again at the extreme scenarios that filled my head. As if he could read my mind, Poe grabbed my hand and squeezed hard. His nerves were just as high as mine.

“Put it through, buddy.” Poe requested, his thumb rubbing over my hand lightly, “This is Poe Dameron, everything all right?”  “Poe!” Rose’s voice greeted, “Good to hear your voice. Wait, isn’t Y/n with you?”  “I’m here, Rose. Is everything okay?” I held my breath as we awaited her answer.

“Falcon’s on land,” she answered, “We’re hoping you and Maz will join us.”

“Maz isn’t coming,” Poe said regretfully, “I’m afraid she’s decided to sit this fight out.”

“What? Why?”

I didn’t want to lie to Rose but didn’t feel right telling her just how disinterested in our sufferings Maz appeared to be. “It’s a long story. Where are you guys?”

“That’s a long story too but the short version? Leia secured us temporary shelter on Ryloth.”

“That’s great news, Rose,” I sighed, turning to Poe who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts and giving him a nudge. He shook himself out of his daze, “We’ve got a place to land. Ryloth system.”  “The Ryloth system?” Poe repeated with a small chuckle, “How did Leia pull that one off? I thought Ryloth didn’t pick sides.”  “She’s Leia,” Rose replied.

“She is, indeed,” Poe reenforced as I grinned, I was beginning to think there truly was nothing my mother couldn’t do.

“I’m sending BB-8 the coordinates now.”

I watched as the coordinates appeared on the display screen, Poe examined them, “This says head for the outermost moon. Is that correct?”

“Ambassador Yendor has asked our starfighters to meet there. Once everyone’s collected, he’ll bring you in under cover.”

“Ah,” he said, “So we’re not officially on Ryloth.”  “It’s a bit of a stealth mission. The government knows we’re here but they can’t acknowledge us. We’re working directly with the Ryloth Defense Authority.”

“The Ryloth Defense Authority? I don’t know what that is, but it sounds promising.” Poe said, I heard just an ounce of hope in his voice for the first time in a while.

“Leia can explain once you guys are here. Any word from the rest of your Black Squadron?”  “Negative,” he answered, “But we’re just clearing planet orbital space. We’ll follow up with Black Teams One and Two shortly and give them the coordinates.”

“Affirmative. Leia also wants you to follow up with Inferno Squadron and give them the coordinates, too.”

“We will.” I replied.

“Great. See you soon.”

“Out,” Poe said before ending the transmission, “If I haven’t ever said it, your mother is incredible.”  “I’m pretty sure you sing her praises in your sleep,” I jested, earning a pinch to my side.

 “BB-8, open a secure channel to Black Team One.” Poe directed.

After a few seconds waiting, Snap’s voice came through, “Is that you, Poe? Y/n? Everything okay?”

“All good, here, Snap.” Poe stated, “Checking in on the status of your mission and to give you coordinates to a meeting place.”

There were muffled curses through the speaker of the ship followed by a voice shouting “Yes!”. Snap followed, “Copy that, Poe. And your timing is excellent. Karé and I have left Akiva with Norra and Wedge in hand.”

“Everything okay?” I asked.

“Nothing we couldn’t handle. Some local opposition and some less than effective surface to air cannons. We took care of it.”

“Good to hear,” Poe replied, “And everything’s good with Wedge and…and your mom?”  “Oh, she’s crazy as ever,” Snap laughed, “But aren’t we all these days? It’s her life, right? I’m going to let her live it.”

“I’m glad to hear that, Snap” I smiled, “I’m going to send you the coordinates right now.”  “Received.” he answered after a moment, “I’ll get them to the team. Listen, we’re going to make a couple of detours to see if we can find any of Phantom Squadron still kicking around.”

“Phantom Squadron?” Poe asked, “They haven’t flown together since my mom was still an active pilot.”  “We need people, right?”

I shrugged, “It’s worth a shot, they’d have experience.”  “See, your girlfriend approves. It won’t take long. We’ll see you on Ryloth before you know it.”  Poe chucked under his breath, “Alright, watch your back out there, Snap.”  “Always do.” Snap answered just before Poe ended the communication.

“So are you calling the shots now for my squadron?” Poe asked with a smile.

I snickered, “All I did was endorse the idea. One pilot is enough for me to manage, I don’t need five of you.”

Without even having to ask, Bee started connecting us to Sura and Jess.

“Poe! Y/n!” Sura yelled, causing us to jolt back in our seat, “I can only talk for a sec. Real busy here!”

“What’s going on?” Poe’s voice drained of all humor, “Are you and Jess under fire?”

“Uhh...you could say that.” Suralinda screamed just as the comm ended suddenly.

“Bee,” I hurried, “What happened?”

I don’t know!  “Well, can you reconnect?” Poe cried, nerves had over taken him.

I’m going to try.

“Keep trying,” he replied, “Something’s happening to them, why did I make the call to send them there? I should have-“  “Stop,” I said, attempting to keep my anxiety at bay for Poe’s sake, “We don’t know anything yet. Do not start beating yourself up before we even know what happened.”  He attempted to take some deep breaths as I kept a hand on him, but I didn’t sense his panic decreasing at all. We waited for several minutes, consumed by fear that our friends were dying, until the connection finally went through.

“Poe?” Jess’s voice rang through, “Is that you? Y/n?”  “Jess,” Poe breathed, his body relaxing back into the seat, “Is that you?”  “Oh yeah. I just tagged Suralinda into the ring, so she had to go,” she answered as she panted for breath. There was an unmistakeable roar of a crowd in the background.

“Ring?” I asked, “Jess, where the hell are you?”  “Barterus. Gladiatorial ring. The ex-Imperial Suralinda was looking for? Teza Nasz? She wouldn’t see us unless we bested her greatest warriors in hand-to-hand combat, so Suralinda thought-”

“Fuck,” Poe cursed and threw his head back, “Suralinda thought she’d throw two very much needed Resistance pilots into the death pits of Rattatak for the sake of simply talking to an ex-Imperial who may or may not be of help to us?”

“Well,” Jess responded meekly after a few seconds, “When you put it that way.”

“Get out of there, Jess,” Poe ordered, “It’s not worth losing either one of you. We need you flying for Black Squadron more than we need this Teza Nasz.”

“Yeah, I’m afraid it’s a little too late for that, Poe. The Rattataki don’t take kindly to quitters. It’s sort of a win-or-die situation. But don’t worry. We got this in hand. Oh!”

There was a crash in the background and the sound of a vibro-ax being charged up. It was going to be harder now to reassure Poe that everything was going to be fine…

“I’m up! Gotta go, don’t worry!”

“BB-8 is going to send coordinates for our rendezvous point,” I said, “Get there in one piece as soon as you can.”   “Don’t mess around.” Poe said, ”And don’t die! That’s an order.

“Order received!” Jess announced before disconnecting the communication properly.

“Insanity…” Poe grumbled, though I couldn’t help myself from laughing, “Something funny?”  “I’m sorry,” I said in between my giggles, “I really hope you appreciate that the rest of your squadron are just as hotheaded as you are.”  He sighed irritatedly at me before I felt his chest begin to rumble with laughter. For just a few brief seconds, everything felt okay. Sitting in Poe’s lap, flying together and laughing.

“We need to make one last call,” I said, asking Bee to put it through.

“Shriv here.”  “Shriv,” Poe greeted, “It’s Poe and Y/n, how’s your mission going?

“Oh, you know,” he answered, ”Lots of flying around and getting doors slammed in our faces. But we did find a couple of old friends of the Rebellion. I think Leia will be pleased.”

“I’m sure she will. We’re headed for Ryloth,” I spoke up, “Does Inferno Squad feel like joining?”

 “Absolutely.” 

“Great. We’re sending the coordinates now.” Poe replied as he pressed the button. 

Shriv answered soon after, “Received. We’re on our way.”

“See you there,” I said and ended the transmission, “Well, that’s a little bit of good news.”

“Yeah,” Poe adjusted a control before asking Bee to jump to lightspeed, "We’re going to need a lot more of it though.”

————

We were one of the thirteen ships that landed on Ryloth in the middle of the night. I was happy to see as many ships as that in the hanger when Poe and I dismounted, it was a good start. He was the first one to spot Mom,

“Leia!” he called out and we jogged across the hanger to get to her. Even though I’d known she was safe on Ryloth, I couldn’t relax until I’d actually seen her with my own eyes.

“Commander,” she said with a nod to Poe. He was so embarrassed by his casualness that he hadn’t even realized that she’d called him ‘Commander’ again.

“General,” he greeted again as he blushed, “Sorry for the informality. Just glad to see you again.”

“I’m glad to see you, too, Poe. You too, Commander Solo,” she said, with a wink directed towards me, “Walk with me and tell me what we have.” I’d have to ask her later what we’d done to earn our titles back.

We made our way through the hanger and explained as many people as we could.

“The two pilots there you know from Black Squadron, Jessica Pava and Suralinda Javos.” Poe pointed towards the duo, plus a recently added third person, “The woman with them is ex-Imperial-officer Teza Nasz. They found her on Rattatak after fighting in the death pits.”

Sura and Jess looked…well, they could’ve looked worse. Jess’s dark hair was matted with blood, Sura had a few bruises and her lip was split. Teza Nasz was easily the most intimidating person I’d ever seen in my life. She wore a one-shouldered jumpsuit made up of various animal skins and mismatched pieces of armor. There were lines that were cut into her arm, no doubt by a knife and she had dark red dreadlocks down her back.

“That warlord is ex-Imperial?” Mom asked, I could hear her stifling a laugh.

Poe explained her backstory and how she’d been an officer in the Imperial Navy, strategist in the Battle of Jakku and was assumed dead shortly after. Suralinda and her had known each other at some point.

Mom was thinking it all over, “Well, she looks like a warrior, not a strategist, but perhaps I shouldn’t judge by looks alone. If she dropped off New Republic scopes that thoroughly and was able to rise to power on Rattatak, she’s probably both. What’s her name, again?”

“Teza Nasz,” I answered at the exact moment the warlord turned around and locked eyes with Mom. There was some sort of silent standoff between the two of them, they were both powerful in their own right. Only once Nasz turned away first did we continue our discussion.

“Who else?” Mom asked before a voice called her name. We turned to see a young girl behind us eagerly waiting to shake Mom’s hand.

“It’s good to finally meet you in person, Zay,” she greeted, “Where’s Shriv?”

“Over here,” the Duros said, walking up to join us. “Good to see you General.”  Shriv had been a Rebellion, now Resistance, fighter. He’d seen everything from the Battle of Endor to the Battle of Jakku during the old days. If you wanted to hear some good war stories, Shriv was your man. I’d only heard of Zay from my mother, I knew that she was recently orphaned and an excellent pilot. Naturally her story tugged at my heart.

After we’d caught up and Shriv had excused himself, Mom asked Zay if they’d located anyone. We made our way over to the civilian transport where she said she thought we’d be happy with what we found. She also filled us in on what had gone on during their mission. Once she got to the point where they were unable to locate many of the people they’d been trying to find, I decided to jump in.

“Maz told us something similar,” I said, “It seems like they’ve disappeared.”  “What does it mean?” Zay asked.

“The First Order, most likely,” Poe answered, “If we know about these potential allies, so do they. They’re just getting to them first.”  We made our way to the transport and took a look at the group. There were two native Twi’lek’s handing out hot towels and water to our allies, everyone was in their own conversations that seemed to die as they noticed Mom’s presence. A single figure broke apart from the small crowd and began walking toward us.

“This is-“ Zay began to say.

“I know who this is,” Mom said quietly before greeting the older man, “General Rieekan.”  As they embraced, I finally placed where I’d heard the name. He’d been a General during the Rebellion, working closely with my mother on Hoth and everywhere else the Rebellion had taken them. Poe, Zay and I broke away from them to let the two old comrades catch up.

“I can’t believe you and Shriv found him,” I patted Zay on the shoulder, “Good job.”  “Thanks,” she beamed at me, before her eyes caught my lightsaber on my hip, “Wait, you’re Commander Solo.”

“Last time I checked.”

“You’re a legend!”  Poe and I exchanged a confused look before I turned back to the girl, “How so?”  “Crait! You took on Kylo Ren all by yourself!” Zay exclaimed, her hands flying to her head, “It’s all over the galaxy how you battled each other. A-And then I heard Luke Skywalker showed up and the two of you fought together. Oh man, I can’t believe I’m actually talking to you!”

How the hell had that story gotten out? I assumed that moment would live and die on Crait, maybe it would spread slowly through the Resistance. I didn’t think I would turn into a galaxy-wide tale. Much less, that it would be told falsely with the embellished storyline that my uncle and I had fought together. I wished that was the truth.

“Well,” I awkwardly smiled, “That’s not entirely true.”  Zay’s face fell as if I’d just crushed some dream of hers, “So you didn’t battle Kylo Ren?”  “Well,” I rubbed the back of my neck, “I did, but-“  “So you are a hero!” she grinned before excitedly shaking my hand, “I can’t tell you how excited I am to meet a real live Jedi knight!”

I could tell I wasn’t going to get in a word edgewise, the girl already looked up to me seemingly. But I felt unnerved at the thought that I was letting someone else think I was a hero. Heroes didn’t lead mutinies and they certainly didn’t get their soldiers killed.

Shouts began to rise behind us in the hanger, we turned to see a crowd was beginning to form. I could clearly hear the punches that were being thrown.

“A fight!” Zay excitedly shouted.

Poe, Shriv and I ran off together to see what was going on. I should’ve known things were going just a little too well to continue that way.

————

A/N: Fun Fact: The conversation between Zay and the reader is based on the ending of TLJ with the three kids reenacting the lightsaber fight. As always, thank for all the support on this series! I’m having the best time writing it 🖤

We Have A Jedi [17] | Peter Parker x Male Reader

Fandom: Star Wars, Marvel

Pairings: Peter Parker x Male Reader, Tony Stark x Son Reader

Summary: After leaving the Jedi, (M/N) now thinks about his life and his future. His dreams are still coming to him and now he has lost important resources. Hopefully returning to earth will help.

Read From The Start

…

(M/N) sat in his booth and took another drink. T3 rolled back to him with another drink. (M/N) took it with a smile. “Thanks T3. I appreciate it.” Soon a plate was placed in front of him and another body joined him on the opposite side of the booth. “You’ve been here for a week and all you’ve done is sit in this booth and listened to every passing body...what are you doing (M/N)?” He looked up and smirked at his friend. “I have no idea Maz. I have absolutely no idea.” He had met Maz Kanata years ago during a mission. After leaving Tython he remembered how she had told him about her little hideaway on Takodana and decided to escape there for a while.

“When I met you, you were helping refugees on Onderon. You weren’t even supposed to be doing that, you were supposed to be protecting a corrupt noble. You chose to protect the people instead of following direct orders.” (M/N) shook his head. “What are you getting at Maz?” She smiled at him. “I’m getting at...you have always been a jedi. Even if the order doesn’t agree with some of your decisions. You protect the people, and do the right thing even if it’s not exactly the best. Go home. Go back to earth and see your father. Get a chance to have a family...you’ll know when it’s time to get back in the fight.” With that she stood up.

(M/N) sat in the booth and thought about what she said. “T3. Start the ship, I’ll settle up here. It’s time to go home.” T3 did his little spin. “Bweeep!” Then the droid was off, going to start the ship. (M/N) stood up from the booth and grabbed the untouched plate of food and empty cup taking it back up to the counter. “Thanks Maz. You’re right, I can’t just hide.” (M/N) reached for his credits but the woman waved him off. “No. You do enough. Just don’t forget to jump at the opportunity when it arrives.” He nodded and gave her a bow before leaving to his ship.

…

The ship jumped out of hyperspace and Earth came into view. (M/N) let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the planet. He didn’t realize just how scared he was of never seeing it again. “Bwoop?” “No T3. We’re not going back to New York...at least not the city. When I was arrested, We were somewhere else. I think it might have been a new avengers base. We’re going there instead.”

He brought the ship down into the atmosphere and as the clouds parted he came into view of it. The new avengers compound. “Well...looks homely alright.” He brought the ship down and landed on one of the empty landing pads. “Well let’s go say hi shall we?” The ships cockpit opened and he climbed out. He had just put his feet on the ground when a rush of wind came and he felt himself get lifted up by strong arms. “You’re back! We were worried something bad happened!” (M/N) smiled hearing the accent and patted the man’s back. “Nice to see you too Pietro. Nothing I couldn’t handle of course.” Pietro placed him back on the ground and gave him another pat. “Everyone will be happy to see you. What...is that?” (M/N) followed his gaze to T3. “Oh this is T3. He’s an astromech droid.” The droid beeped at him and he nodded with a smirk. “Cool.”

The two men and droid entered the new base. (M/N) remembered seeing some of it when he woke up from the fight. Entering the base he was greeted to the new living area there he saw a few familiar faces. “(M/N)!” Clint pulled him into a hug. “Oh it’s good to see you kid.” Pulling back, Natasha, Wanda, Rhodey and Vision were there. Looking around he didn’t see his father or Steve, Thor and Bruce. “Where’s-” Nat stopped him. “You’re dad and Steve are in the lab. Thor’s off world and Bruce…” She looked sad. “We’re still trying to find him.” He didn’t realize how close the two had become it seemed. “Oh. Well...I’ll be back. I want to go say hi to dad.”

No one stopped him as he made his way to the lab. First he had to find it. “Jarvis where’s the lab at?” The voice that spoke next wasn’t the familiar voice that he recognized. “Hello sir. I’m Friday, Mr.Stark’snew A.I. The lab is down the hall, take a right, last door on your left.” (M/N) nodded. “Okay. Thank you.” That was strange...he hadn’t expected Jarvis to be gone. Thinking about it, Vision had sounded a lot like Jarvis….AND had the mind stone. He’d have to find out more.

Arriving at where Friday told him about he entered the door. The lab was new and looked great. Much larger than the other labs...like a lot. He heard his dad’s favorite music playing and in the distance his voice talking with Steve. Approaching the voices he found his dad and Steve henched close together at a table. “If I add this it will give you a bit more protection. Don’t want anything happening to that chiseled body of yours do we?” Steve let out a laugh at that. “No, I don’t think we do. Gotta keep up appearances.” Steve and Tony seemed to be getting closer and (M/N) felt like he was intruding on something. Slowly backing up he accidentally hit a wrench which fell to the ground alerting the two men. “Oh...hey guys! Sorry didn’t want to interrupt...whatever is going on here.” The two straightened up, both with red faces. “What? No, nothing going on. What you’re back! I’m glad you’re back, let’s talk about that.” Tony said walking up and hugging his son. “What happened?” (M/N) let out a loud groan. “It’s a long story, one I’d rather not share with everyone.” Tony nodded and Steve gave them a smile. “I’ll leave you guys to talk.” As Steve began to leave (M/N) stopped him. “Wait. You can stay, I don’t mind telling you.” Steve’s smile grew a bit more and his eyes met Tony’s. “Thanks, but I think I’ll let you have some private time. Maybe later.” (M/N) gave the man a nod and watched him leave before turning back to his dad. “So...where to begin?”

(M/N) told his father about everything. From the moment he was taken to hiding out on Takodana. He made sure to not leave out any details, especially what the Jedi were going to do to him if he stayed. His dad looked furious. “Well...shit. I actually have no idea what to say. That’s just so, so messed up. Did your mother not say anything? Try to stop them?” Tony’s voice was rising with his anger and (M/N) tried to calm him. “It’s okay. I’m alright. She couldn’t have since she wasn’t allowed into the chamber. Honestly, if I stayed they probably would have given her the same choices.” With that Tony slumped into his seat and rubbed his head. “Space is...so strange.” (M/N) nodded with a smile. “Tell me about it.”

Tony then took him to his new room. It was the same size as the one in the tower and had a lot of the same things just moved. “So...what happened to the tower?” He asked his father. “Decided to move us here. Still have the tower, but that’s just going to be for S.I now. THIS.” He spreads out his arms and spins around. “Is our new home.” Tony then patted (M/N)’s shoulder before leaving to let him have some time alone.

(M/N) let out a sigh and sat down. He took in the room, just trying to steady himself and really believe that he was actually on earth again...hopefully for good this time. After a while he moved off the bed and to the floor by the window. He sat on his knees, placing his hands in his lap and began meditating. It wasn’t long before a knock on the door was heard. “Enter.”

The door opened and Steve walked into the room. “Hey (M/N). I just wanted to come and see how you were doing.” (M/N) didn’t break his meditation but did motion for a chair for Steve to sit. “I’m alright. Thank you Steve. I’m guessing you’re curious about why I’m here.” Steve sat in the chair and nodded. “I was a bit curious about that, yes.” (M/N) felt the emotions coming back to him, the memories still fresh. “I left the order. I’m no longer a Jedi. Simple as that. Decided to come back, to come home.” He could tell that Steve was even more confused. “You...you left?”

(M/N) stopped him before he continued. “Steve, you’re an army man. What would you do if you were given an order that went against your morale code? That you know what they want isn’t a good thing, would you still blindly follow them?”

Steve stood up from his chair and sat on the floor besides (M/N). “Well...When I first went into the army, I was a lot different than I am now. It was a whole other time too, things were different. Then I was willing to do whatever to do the right thing, even went against orders. Now....I don’t see that much of a difference. I’ll still do whatever to do the right thing, I won’t blindly follow orders anymore. Why?” (M/N) hummed before relaxing out of his meditation. “I left the order because they became something I didn’t want to be a part of anymore.” He then told Steve everything that happened and the man looked horrified. “That’s...that’s horrendous. Atrocious! You’re just a kid, hell you’re a great and skilled fighter too and they’d just...do that?” (M/N) nodded at the man. “I know. I couldn’t believe it either. So I left. I want no part of that.” Steve brought his hand up and sat it on (M/N)’s shoulder. “I don’t blame you. I’m glad you’re back.”

(M/N) smirked at him and turned to face him fully. “So old man? What was going on between you and daddy dearest back there?” Steve’s face turned bright red and he rubbed the back of his neck. “I..I’m not sure what you mean.”

“Uh huh. So I DIDN’T see you and my dad about to lock lips?” He playfully nudged Steve.

“Must have been your imagination.” Steve stood up and started walking out. “Oh, Dinners in thirty minutes. Your dad decided to cook tonight so...be ready for take out.”

“Sure thing, thanks DAD!” (M/N) said playfully, but both he and Steve knew something else was there. Even if it was a small bond slowly growing.

It wasn’t long before he was called to dinner and just as Steve said...there were take out containers everywhere. “So I’m guessing whatever you made ended up in flames?” (M/N) asked as he picked up a plate and began taking food. Tony let out a fake gasp and covered his heart. “Kid you wound me. I would never!” (M/N) playfully rolled his eyes before sitting at the table between his dad and Pietro.

“So (M/N), what’s going on in space?” Pietro asked through a mouthful of food. Wanda playfully slapped his arm before also looking to (M/N) waiting for his answer. “Oh, it’s as good as it can be right now. The republic’s doing it’s best to hold its ground but the Empire’s doing a pretty good job of challenging that.” They seemed satisfied enough with that answer.

“Where’s your laser swords at?” Rhodey asked him, causing him to close up a bit. “They uh...were taken from me.” Before Rhodey could say anything else Tony clapped his hands. “Well, now that you’re back with us...to STAY.” He made sure to emphasize the word stay. “I have decided to enroll you in a local school to get used to being around other kids your age and to have a normal earth life.” (M/N) nodded. “That’s not a bad idea. Could definitely learn more about earth.” Tony seemed happy about that. “Good. I already had Pepper help me with getting you enrolled, you’ll have a fake last name too so you won’t be disturbed. You start tomorrow and Happy will take you in the morning.” (M/N) was thrown for a loop for all of it happening so fast, but it’s nothing he couldn’t handle.

The rest of the dinner went fine. He got to know Wanda and Pietro a bit better and would even consider them friends. He got to speak with the other avengers but could tell they were missing Bruce. He only hoped wherever he was he was okay. Once he was done eating he said his goodbyes and returned to his room with T3. He took a quick shower before going to sleep.

...

He got a good night’s rest without any nightmares or visions, only to be woken up by his dad. “Hey bud. Gotta get up and get ready for school.” Tony looked like he had only just gotten up himself if his bed head and barely opened eyes meant anything. Sitting up he stretched and let out a yawn. “What time is it?”

“Six. School starts at seven but you have a bit of a drive. Hurry up, Happy’s waiting.” (M/N) quickly took another shower and got dressed. Once he was all set he went out to the living room where his dad was still trying to stay awake. “Alright. Have a good day at school.” He gave him a hug and moved back to his lab. “Oh, and T3 can’t go with you. We don’t have droids here.” (M/N) looked at the droid beside him and kneeled down. “Sorry buddy. Guess you get to stay here for now.” Bwoop. “It’s alright. I’ll be home before you know it.”

He left the front door and saw a car parked before him. Opening the door he got inside and was greeted by a smiling Happy. “Hey kid. Nice to see you again. Got you some breakfast, figured you’d need some.” The man handed him a bag and a cup with a straw. “Thanks Happy.” The bodyguard smiled at him before starting the car and driving. “Oh and I also got you some school supplies. A bag, pencils, papers, notebooks, all that stuff. Should be all set for school. I also get to tell you your new fake name for when you’re at school. It’s still (M/N) but your last name isn’t gonna be Stark, it’s Rogers.” (M/N)’s eyes bugged out and he choked on his drink. “Excuse me what?!” Happy laughed at him. “Yep, your father insisted on it.” (M/N) groaned. “Of course he did.”

They drove for a bit, eventually returning to New York city. (M/N) missed the sight of the large towers, it was a familiar and comforting sight. The traffic was already starting to get backed up but luckily not too bad. The school campus was a bit away from the rest of the city and made it more comfortable. Eventually Happy parked the car and (M/N) stepped out reading the name of the school. “Midtown School of Science and Technology. It’s a nice campus.”

Happy handed him a bag. “Here, this has all your supplies in it. Now let’s go get you all taken care of.” He followed Happy into the school and was taken to the office. “Alright. Just go on in and tell them you’re (M/N) Rogers here for your first day. If anything goes wrong call me. OH! Speaking of, here.” He handed him a phone. “Now you actually have a phone, which I didn’t know you didn’t have when I gave you my number. Don’t worry, my contact, Pepper’s, Rohdey’s and Tony’s numbers are all in the contacts.” (M/N) took the phone and put it in his pocket. “Thanks Happy. See you after?” The man nodded. “Yep, Pick you up right out front. Now go on.” With that Happy left him.

Entering the office he was greeted to a snooty looking older woman. “Yes? Can I help you?” (M/N) straightened out his posture and talked calmly. “Hello. I’m (M/N) Rogers. I’m here for my first day.” The woman didn’t seem to care too much and handed him a schedule. “There’s your classes. A student representative will be here in a bit to take you around.” (M/N) took the schedule with a tug forcing the woman to look at him and put on a fake smile. He waved his hand at her. “Thank you so much! I hope you’re a bit nicer to the next person in here.” Immediately the woman smiled at him. “Why was I acting like that? I should be nicer.” Good ol’ mind tricks.

He took a seat into a chair and waited for however was supposed to come and get him. The bell rang indicating that classes had started and no one had come to get him. Suddenly the door opened and a familiar person entered out of breath. “Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean to be late. Where’s the new kid?” (M/N) stood up and walked over to his friend. “Right here.” Peter turned and had his eyes go wide in shock. “(M/N)? What are you doing here? You’re going to school here?” (M/N) nodded. “Yep. Come on show me where I need to go and I’ll fill you in.”

Peter nodded and opened the office door for (M/N) following him out. (M/N) smiled at him, maybe life on earth would be alright.
