Chapter 3 is up! In which Poe has a nasty run-in with a former colleague, and Finn goes on a quest for adequate sleep. 

Poe covered his eyes with his hand. “There was a running joke,” he said, “back at the Academy, that my secondary specialty after piloting was inter-species sexual relations.”

“Really,” Finn said, leaning closer into Poe’s space.

“I had, like, one hookup with a Mon Calamari,” Poe said, trying not to react too avidly to Finn’s closeness and warmth and adorableness, “and maybe I slept with a Corweillian once or twice, a gentleman never kisses and tells, and there may or may not have been a situation with an Ewok. There was also an incident with a Quarren that got way overblown in the retelling because she left suction cup marks on my neck that took over a week to fade, but we barely even– we made out at a party, it wasn’t even— a thing. I mean, it was hot, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t anything serious. And, I mean, Keshians, but they hardly count, they’re basically humans. I was just a really friendly guy for a couple of years at the Academy, I made a lot of friends, I figured I was there to broaden my horizons and make connections. Anyway. Anyway. I happen to know a few things about a couple of our allied races, that’s all.”

Finn was staring at him, and Poe was determined not to blush. Most of it was much less risqué than it really sounded– the Ewok situation especially had actually been pretty tame– but it was such an oft-repeated bit of lore, Finn was bound to hear it somewhere, and Poe would rather be the one telling it. “That’s cool,” Finn said finally, sounding really sincere. “I’ve basically never even met anybody who wasn’t human so you’ve got like, a huge leg-up on me.”

It was on the tip of Poe’s tongue to say something flip and flirty about getting something up on Finn– but that wasn’t what Finn was here for, right. It was years since he’d really flirted like that. He laughed. “Well,” he said. “Any time you need advice, I’m kind of rusty but that used to be my thing.”
