Chapter 4 is up: Towards
I’m too frazzled to find good representative quotes, and am blanking on a summary, so have some fragments that amused me in the proofreading:
“I’m sorry, lady,” Kes said. “I can’t lie and say I know how you feel, so I won’t.”
“At least you haven’t tried to tell me that everything happens for a reason,” Leia said. “Or that the Force has a plan, or something.”
“No,” Kes said. “The Force doesn’t tell me shit. I couldn’t say. I doubt there’s a reason, it just sucks. That’s how the world works, shit completely sucks.”
and Bolt ruminating on how it turns out that it is actually possible to be too cocky about one’s piloting versatility:
Hopefully, it would be something that didn’t involve him landing this thing. He didn’t think he could. He idly wondered if he could search the open holonet on this thing and find instructions. If anyone was monitoring traffic, surely that would be suspicious: a poorly-disguised free-floating chunk of space junk with someone in it searching for instructions on landing an X-Wing.
The absurdity of it consoled him, a little.
and
“Poe’s life force is really luminous after orgasm,” Finn said. “Leia pointed it out to me.”
“What,” Poe said, perfectly blank.
“It’s how I knew which city to check for you,” Finn said, blithe and unworried. “Leia could see you in the Force.”
“Sweet fancy hyperdrives,” Poe said faintly. “What, always?”
“Apparently your whole life,” Finn said, “so think of that a moment.”
“I,” Poe said, looking horrified. “General Organa. Knows when I– come.”
“I mean,” Finn said. “It’s not like it interrupts her. But yeah, she said she always found it kind of sweet and comforting, wherever you’d gone to she’d know you were having a good time sometimes.”
Poe’s mouth moved, but no sound came out, and he looked deeply, deeply mortified. “I don’t,” he said finally. “Know. How to deal with that.”
“I think it’s quite sweet,” Rey said, and went back to her resetting of the proximity sensors.
and uh yeah i’m not gonna be coy about this, we all know why this story exists:
“We can keep you company here,” Finn said, and shifted his grip to haul Poe a little tighter against his body. Poe bit his lip, undulating a little in Finn’s grasp. “We won’t be too distracting. We’re good boys.”
Poe made the softest little moaning noise, and Rey could tell that Finn was grinding up against him, somewhere. “Poe really likes it when you pet him and tell him how good he is,” she said, making it sound like she was barely paying attention as she flicked through the sensor settings.
“Is that so,” Finn said, hands pulling at Poe’s hips. He tilted his face up, and Poe kissed him, hanging onto his shoulders, so hungrily it made Rey’s whole spine tingle, and a strange sort of twingey heat collect somewhere in her pelvis.
“He has been an awfully good boy,” Rey said. “He’s been very brave, this whole time, and has done everything I’ve asked of him.”
