Home Out In The Wind Part Two: Homer Windier 

Home Out In The Wind WITH A VENGEANCE

I Will Eventually Resolve This Romantic Subplot

BB-8′s Adventures With Eir Friends

Can’t Go Home This Way, because I’m great at titles, is up, chapter one of probably six. In which Finn is attractive, BB-8 cusses a lot, R2-D2 cusses more, and Rey makes her Windverse debut. 

It features the only song I’ve ever written, and which I am helpless to represent as anything beyond lyric transcription that AO3 keeps adding large paragraph breaks to no matter what I do. Whee!

A LITTLE OFF-COURSE THERE, BUDDY, R2-D2 sent on the text interface. AND WHERE’S YOUR PILOT?

There was a hesitation, and then the ship sent back a reply via the astromech’s text readout. R2-D2 IS THAT YOU?

“How did it know?” Rey demanded.

“Locator beacon,” R2-D2 answered off-handedly, and wrote, FUKKIN A, PAL. SEND THE REAL MANIFEST, WON’T YOU?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT HELP ME R2, I’M FUCKED, wrote the astromech, and sent the ship’s information again, a different file this time, and Rey made a little squeaking noise out loud. White Four, registered to the Resistance, with pilot Poe Dameron, she recognized him from the attached ID photo, she’d seen him, that was Finn’s friend, and astromech–

“BB-8!” she said, and clicked the comm. “BB-8! What are you doing out here?”

REY REY REY REY REY, BB-8 wrote, REY HELP ME REY, HELP.

“Where’s your pilot?” she asked. “Where’s Dameron? There’s no one on your ship!”

“Damn it,” Luke muttered.

DID YOU LOSE YOUR PILOT AGAIN, R2D2 wrote.

HELP ME, BB-8 wrote, HELP ME, HE GOT TRAPPED ON A FLEET VESSEL AND WHEN HE REALIZED THEY WEREN’T GOING TO LET HIM GO HE TOLD ME TO RUN AND I CAN’T LAND THIS THING AND I LEFT HIM TO DIE AND I SWORE I’D NEVER DO THAT AGAIN AND I DID IT ANYWAY AND I CAN’T LAND THIS THING

The text scrolled up the readout faster than Rey could read, and she said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa BB, hang on.”

“Fuck,” Chewbacca said, or something that served the same role in Wookiee.

“The Resistance is a politically-recognized entity now,” Luke said calmly into the comm. “A Republican vessel legally must treat with him as an ally.”

There was a moment’s shocked silence, and then BB-8 wrote IS THAT LUKE FUCKING SKYWALKER?????

THE SAME, R2-D2 wrote back before anyone else could answer.

IT’S THE REPUBLICAN CRUISER UNYIELDING , BB-8 wrote back, AND THEY DON’T GIVE A FUCK, THEY LIED TO GET HIM ON BOARD AND THEN OPENLY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO COLLECT THE BOUNTY ON HIM.

“They can’t do that,” Luke said. Off-comm he said, “It just figures Poe Dameron would have a bounty on his head. I’m assuming he must have one beyond the standard Resistance pilot bounty that the First Order has had out there forever.”

“Half a million last I checked,” Chewbacca said.

“Half a million!” Luke turned to goggle at him. “For one – come on now, they never asked more than a hundred thousand for me!”
