Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week — Favorite Smart or Crafty Moments

Legends is full of moments where our heroes have to come up with unorthodox solutions to unexpected challenges — and some of the smaller moments can have a major impact. Of these examples, which is your favorite smart/crafty moment?

When her trail goes cold thanks to a bounty hunter, Han Solo finds missing Rebellion spy Scarlet Hark by going to the greasy spoon from which she’s been ordering breakfast sandwiches and intercepting her delivery order (Honor Among Thieves)

At the Battle of Folor, Kell Tainer and Runt pretend to be two whole groups of X-Wings protecting a damaged Millennium Falcon with Princess Leia on board (impersonated by Dorset Konnair and her wingmate using two A-Wings) to distract Admiral Trigit from the evacuation of Folor Base (X-Wing: Wraith Squadron)

Threepio and Artoo help Leia Organa and Han Solo break out of prison on Aphran IV by reprogramming the food service droid to think that Leia’s lightsaber and Han’s pistol are food rations (The New Jedi Order - Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand)

When Lando Calrissian and Zerba are kidnapped by corrupt cops sent by Black Sun and about to die in a crumbling warehouse, their heist team rescues them by having one ship blow a hole in the wall large enough for the Falcon to fit through, after which Chewbacca swoops through long enough to drop one of the escape pods into the building so Lando and Zerba can barricade themselves inside (Scoundrels)

Luke Skywalker uses the power supply from his prosthetic hand to rewire the lock on his enclosure and escape Talon Karrde’s custody (Heir to the Empire)

Wolfstar Microfic: Scoundrel

“You bloody scoundrels, you come back here!”

Sirius and Remus were howling with laughter as they ran, each with pockets full of chocolate frogs from Honeydukes. They’d snuck in through the tunnel but gotten caught in the street, which was good; the secrecy of the tunnel wouldn’t be compromised. 

They ran as long as their gangly 15-year old legs could carry them, half-limping from the effort of laughing all the while. 

By the time they reached the outskirts of Hogsmeade, Sirius held out a hand to stop Remus and they paused, propping themselves up against a building while they caught their breath. 

Sirius could feel the rush of adrenaline even after they’d stopped moving, still felt a burst of energy, a need to do something. 

He grinned at Remus, ready to dare him to race all the way back to the castle, but Remus’ appearance caught his eye. 

His cheeks and nose were ruddy from the wind, his hair was wild, and his robes were long past reasonable. 

He looked wild.

Sirius couldn’t help but stare. It made him feel hot and bothered just to look at Remus like that.

Remus noticed Sirius staring, and his eyes went wide. Sirius couldn’t imagine what his own face looked like, but Remus must have seen something. Something he liked, because he stood up straighter and took two steps towards Sirius, backing him into the wall. Not close enough to be touching, but close enough to make Sirius’ energy rev even faster. 

“Sirius,” Remus said suddenly, voice deeper and lower than Sirius was used to, “Dare me.”

“What?” Sirius began, even though he knew exactly what Remus was getting at, even as he took another step closer. Sirius felt his back hit the side of the building. 

“Dare me,” Remus said, bringing a hand up to Sirius’ chest. The touch was featherlight, but enough to completely short circuit Sirius’ brain. 

He lost all sense of words. He lost all sense of anything other than Remus’ gaze, and his body leaning in, and his hand. 

Without speaking, Sirius put his hands on Remus’ hips and reeled him in, until they were only a hair’s breadth apart. 

Remus laughed ever so lightly as he was pulled.

“I dare you,” Sirius replied.

Remus closed the distance, and it was the last thing either of them said for a while.

something about karna learning how to “play chess” as a play, a game without consequences and something done for fun for the first time (also me obsessing over how this passing comment from colin just sets up for more heartbreak because do they have time?)

also some notes on… self-indulgent things
