Youthful Heroine AU

Recovery Girl is rewound to her prime

[bronykacchan]

okay so i’ve seen people talking about katsuki’s old middle school friends and i decided to make my own au

so we got undercut fucker, mainly called kariage by everyone. i also call him kariage but i named him takeo a long time ago so i’ll probably use both names interchangeably. his full name is takeo/kariage hamamoto. i don’t have a quirk for him yet but i imagine it’s something to do with smoke bc he smokes a lot. he’s a cocky and smug asshole who likes to tease kat a lot. and we love him for it ❤️ he lives with his dad who’s a drug addict. he doesn’t know anything about his mom or the rest of his family. that’s how he got addicted to smoking-through his dad, although it’s not drugs, it’s still drug like in a sense.

stretchy fingers here i’ve named akihiko saito. his quirk is stretchy fingers. duh. he’s the chillest in the group. he’s kinda like sero/shinsou?? yeah like a go with the flow type-a-guy. his mom, aoi, is like a mother to all of them. she’s a therapist and is divorced.

finally we got our feral queen chiaki miyamoto. (she’s the brunette girl who sits next to katsuki in the first episode) i don’t know if she has a canon quirk but i’m saying it’s bubbles. basically, like katsuki, she uses her sweat to make bubbles out of her palms. she can make them any size. they can carry people and/ or objects depending on the size. her and katsuki are the gremlins of the group. they constantly bicker and tease each other. she swears like a sailor, courtesy of katsuki, and is considered very unladylike. she’s loud, excitable, and clingy, needs to be touching one of her boys at all times. she lives with her two dads and younger brother. only gal in the house.

oh yeah and the entirety of the katsucrew is bisexual fuck you.

So about that Investigator Hero Bakugou AU I briefed about....

Pretty much it starts with Tsubasa (winged kid) not getting killed and turned into a Noumu by his own grandfather. Don’t ask how he escaped that fate, but he did.

For junior high Izuku would eat lunch on the roof and no one would bug him there. So he could peacefully eat his lunch and look at the news without anyone bothering him. What he doesn’t know is that Bakugou is the one who stops people from pestering Izuku on the roof. It isn’t because Bakugou cares, but he knows that if an accident happens up there then it would ruin his chances at being a Hero because an investigation would likely happen and people may throw him under the bus to save their own skins.

A family emergency comes up and Bakugou is excused from school for a week to handle it. This allows for Tsubasa, the Long-Fingered kid, the kid who can cover himself with rocks, and a girl who could summon a ball of light (yes I may be referencing the character who lost her quirk in @gentrychild‘s fic “Urges” but it probably won’t be the exact same character. She may just remain nameless because it won’t matter) to go up to the roof during lunch.

They claimed they were only horsing around. They didn't mean for Izuku to fall. It's lucky that Izuku even survived that day, and it would be a miracle if he would be able to walk ever again.

While Izuku is in the hospital, the four kids start to disappear one by one until Izuku himself is swiped from his hospital room. Aldera Junior High covers up the incident because they can’t afford to have their Golden Boy with such a high potential of being the Top Hero get a black mark on his record. Besides, he wasn’t involved in this incident. It would be easy to just...cover it up. Maybe make a claim that Midoriya’s absent father had decided to take him out of school and even the country.

Who would notice the Quirkless Kid has gone missing? Plus his mother is so inconsolable with grief that it would be best to just leave her in peace.

Bleached State (series) by @i-just-want-to-destroy - Shinigami Deku, Bleach AU

Off-White/Work 1: "Bakugou Katsuki holds the long-reigning spot of being the number one student in Aldera High School. Following after him is the meek and timid Midoriya Izuku forever stuck as Aldera's number two. This soon changes, however, when Deku seems to be mysteriously preoccupied with something else other than his studies.

Naturally, this pisses the fuck out of Katsuki."

Ivory/Work 2: "Who are you?” Izuku says again, even though he knows. He knows. “What are you?”

"I’m you, stupid,” the boy says. “The real question is—what are you?”

Midoriya Izuku is many things. He is a Human, a Shinigami, a Hollow. He is a monster, a demon, a god. In other words: just a boy."

Notes: Criminally underrated series and author. Please check out the rest of their stuff and their blog (their art is also sick). I've tagged the main trigger warnings for this series, but make sure to check out the tags and notes of both of the fics as well.

Anyway, you really don't need any Bleach knowledge to read this series. Everything relevant is explained as the stories progress (I'd recommend reading them in the given order, but they can be read as standalones).

((They've also written some great comedic fics, so you may wanna check that out if this stuff isn't your style :]))

BNHA AU Ideas: True Might

Also on AO3! 

TL;DR:  Powers don't make the hero - passion does. Luckily for Izuku and Toshinori, this is something the quirkless have in droves.

AKA: All Might is a quirkless vigilante, One for All isn't a quirk that exists and 1A gets a whole 3-week buffer before villain's start kicking their face in as opposed to the 3 days of canon.

Basically: Quirkless!Vigilante!All Might and Quirkless!Successor!(gen ed) UA Student!Midoriya. It’s a riot.

Yagi is stupid strong, his only form in this AU is basically Muscle Form from canon, but he’s a little less ridiculously cut. Not quite chubby, but huggable. This is mostly because he A, isn’t a celebrity that needs to have a marketable image and B, he really likes carbs.

He’s not exactly a vigilante by choice, in his day and age quirkless kids weren’t permitted to apply to UA, either gen ed or heroics. When Nezu got the job, that all changed, but it was a solid decade too late for Yagi.

He’s admittedly a little bitter about it, but he refuses to do anything but his best. He might be a little snippier with Pros than he really needs to be but oh well.

Katsuki and Izuku are utterly enamoured with this crazy vigilante that just doesn’t lose, refuses to back down from a fight even when he’s outmatched, and somehow coming out victorious anyway, rescuing everyone. They have a tense relationship, but often find time to get together and just ramble about how cool All Might is, share theories and dissect his fights. It’s not uncommon for Katsuki to have been hurling abuse at Izuku during class, only to show up at his house after school with a backpack full of snacks and a notebook full of questions.

Izuku knows most of what Katsuki does is to keep his status in the school. If he showed pity to a dumb quirkless runt he’d be painted with the same brush. This doesn’t make what Katsuki has done right! Only Izuku doesn’t blame him because he’s way too forgiving.

Izuku is the smartest person Katsuki knows and vice versa – they are each other’s measuring stick. Katsuki shows Izuku bravery, Izuku shows Katsuki determination.

Episode 1 goes as it does but you see a real flash of regret when Katsuki tells Izuku to jump off a roof because they are kinda-sorta friends. Izuku looks so betrayed. We meet the slime villain like before, All Might saves Izuku and 100% doesn’t expect the kid to fanboy about him and ask for two autographs – one made out to a “Kacchan”.

“Can someone quirkless be a hero?” “The whole world will be against you. Most places won't even give you a shot – no matter how good you are. You’re better off picking something else.”

Izuku is crushed but he does understand. All Might leaves and Izuku trails off kinda hopelessly. He follows the sounds of explosions without meaning to.

It’s Katsuki! He’s dying! Like usual at this point lmao. Izuku rushes in much like canon, All Might shows up, pulls Katsuki free and slams a dumpster on the slime villains head before making a speedy getaway. The police rip into Izuku but Katsuki actually defends him. “You were doing fuck all while I fucking died – don’t knock the only asshole who tried.” Izuku quietly slips him the autograph before running off the scene. Katsuki cries because Izuku got that for him even after he was such a fucking bastard that day? He can’t bring himself to be a dick to Izuku again, even only for show.

All Might finds Izuku and he's like “Sorry I was an ass I was being a dick because I had low self-esteem – I’m quirkless. If you’ll have me I’ll make you into the best hero the world had ever seen

Izuku, obviously, says yes please!

Also, hypermobile Izuku with joint braces as support gear because just let me project please my arms are killing me ( I wrote this a while ago and yes. My arms are still killing me - yes even now). He gets them after All Might sees him miss a dodge because his ankles rolled beneath him. They support his joints beyond the normal range of strength, letting him do some crazy pivots and handsprings, making it easy to support all his weight on a single-arm with very little strain. They can also lock in place, lessening muscle fatigue if he needs to hold onto something for ages and preventing injury if he’s pushing against something. Produced by David and Melissa Shield and imported through Nighteye Heroics.

Is support gear illegal for civilians to own? Yes! But medical equipment isn’t so if you can just convince people its medical not support you can get away with a lot.

Yagi has no weapons himself, other than the random shit he picks up and swings at people, and has little support gear other than a communicator, panic button, and a whole lot of zip-ties.

Izuku should probably have weapons but I’m struggling to think of anything other than war fans because how cool would that look? Because Shonen they would also have the ability to create powerful downdrafts that would give a boost to a jump or dodge.

Probably doesn’t get them until later and needs to train with them.

In this AU, One for All isn’t a quirk. Rather, it’s a role, passed from quirkless person to quirkless person, the only people who can’t be hard countered by All for One. They tend to be vigilantes, crime lords or hero managers, doing their part to foil as much of All for One’s plans as they can, through whatever means necessary.

It’s a role with a pretty high fatality rate.

No one knows All Might is quirkless other than those close to him, they instead think he has a strength quirk. He’s the most prolific vigilante in Japan and is almost as much of a household name as canon All Might. More divisive though, with most people decrying his vigilante status when he could ‘easily make a respectable hero’. He’s also pretty brutal with his takedowns of some villains, leading a lot of people to call him an unregulated brute. Still more call him a villain which, legally he would be - were he using a quirk.

Nighteye is his contact in the heroics industry, gives him loads of inside info that’s typically not something he should be passing on. He’s still close with David Shield. Nighteye imports any costume parts he needs from David and leaves them at various pickup points for Yagi.

He went to college with David in America after Nana died; America having a quirk blind admission process helped - but he’d have gotten shit talked a lot if people didn’t just assume he had a strength quirk. Dude was and is crazy big.

David was one of the only people that knew he was quirkless

OH FOR FUN; Nighteye was also going to this American college and that’s where he met All Might. The three of them became the world’s strangest group of friends and may have lowkey done some slightly illegal vigilante work around the campus and surrounding town. They had a reputation for getting no sleep ever and being the most mismatched set of people

Secretly Smart Jock, Business Man with a Touch of E-boy, Science Hipster. They all tumbled into class together with varying levels of alive-ness. Nighteye and David were very much not morning people.

UA! It’s a ride. Izuku fails the practical but he’s not shocked – he was prepared for this.

He actually got like 30 hero points? But they refused to admit him on hero points alone due to his ‘deficiencies’. They don’t exactly tell Izuku this but Aizawa was there and he was furious.

Gets into 1C with Shinsou, Shinsou fuckin hates him on sight for reasons best known to him (It’s bc he was so god damned cheerful he just – assumed Izuku had a quirk. I love Shinsou but he’s more than a little judgemental). Izuku is like smiling through the pain because he just wanted to make a friend his age – Katsuki barely counts.

He sits with him at lunch and makes friends-ish with the hero kids who dragged Katsuki along, meets Ochaco again. She’s upset he didn’t get in – especially after he tells her he apparently got 30 points. The whole table gets mad on his behalf and hes embarrassed and happy.

Like day 2 he’s leaving gym and someone is like “Oh LMAO it’s Deku – he was in the year below me at Aldera. Only fuckin quirkless kid in the whole school; can’t believe he got into UA.” He turns to Izuku. “Who’s dick did you suck to get in you - ?” And Shinsou just decks him. He grabs Izuku – who is super confused fyi – and s p r i n t s. They have to stop after a while because hes having a panic attack and Shinsou doesn’t know what the fuck to do and he’s mad and upset and the sunshine boy is sobbing –

Aizawa shows up, having seen the (end of the) altercation and is ready to expel some gen ed kids he can’t legally expel – until he sees the two kids from the entrance exam he was interested in – including the quirkless kid who should have gotten in. Well he’s much more willing to hear them out.

100% requests expulsion on those 2 2E kids because that’s Discrimination and they should know better as second years. Nezu grants it because those 2 were di ck s

No USJ because no All Might – stuff like that will come,,, later : )

Sports Fest! Izuku and Shinsou kick ass, Aizawa is Watching. All Might may have gotten in as a crowd member with Nighteye and a visiting David and Melissa and they are cheering on their sun son. Also, Nighteye is going to go cheer on Mirio so he just got a pass to attend all 3 days of the sports festival. He’s just buying snacks on the second day because he’s never talked to one of the second years in his life.

Shinsou and Izuku make it to the tournament. Izuku has been training pretty seriously with All Might for a while now and hes a very good fighty boy. Makes it to the 3rd round of the tournament where he loses to Iida. Shinsou makes it second where he loses to Katsuki. Izuku is like “Iida might you be Ingenium’s brother or something?” “Yes, I am!” “OH MY GOD I LOVE INGENIUM ISN’T HE THE COOLEST” “YES MY BROTHER IS AMAZING” Shinsou is just watching while faintly amused.

♡ Embers by Vathara Dragon's fire is not so easily extinguished; when Zuko rediscovers a lost firebending technique, shifting flames can shift the world...

Treachery of the Highest Order by LoserLife592 Sometimes life is unfair. Sometimes the universe likes to kick you when you're down. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. But there a still lines that need to be drawn. And this? This is beyond that line. (or, You Think You Know A Guy)

boku no hero academia

those hardest to love need it most by DancingInTheStorm Aizawa visits Aldera Junior High and finds out some disturbing truths.

♡ learn how to love (like you) by aloneintherain “Fusion is supposed to be beautiful, Izuku," Mum says. "You’ll make more friends, and fuse with them, and feel how much they love you. I promise." Izuku thinks about the wave of hatred-disgust-fear that rose up when Kacchan realised the extent of their fusion, and buries his wet face in his mum’s shoulder. He doesn’t want to fuse with anyone ever again. (AU where fusion isn't just a battle strategy; it's a form of affection and trust between loved ones. Izuku always thought fusion was for other people. Not for him. Not for quirkless Deku. And then he meets All Might.)

Sentimental Youth by ChiaRoseKuro Bakugou Katsuki knows that he’s luckier than most—very few bullies ever get forgiveness from their victims, and fewer still would be able to seek it. It complicates things, a little, when his erstwhile victim is also his current lover and one of the most popular Pro Heroes in town— But if they could survive everything life threw at them as children, then what’s stopping them from overcoming a little separation as adults? Bakugou starts out fine, at first, but as the days wear on… ( wherein absence makes the heart grow fonder, once it’s done hurting it immeasurably first )

coco

Watchful Eyes by NanixErka or "I have to watch my ex husband be a good dad and it kind of gets under my metaphorical skin"

♡ Offerings by SatuD2 In the years following Miguel's visit to the Land of the Dead, Día de Muertos was very different for one shabby skeleton.

♡ the family skeleton by pennylogue Five ways Miguel stays connected to the dead side of his family, and one way he learns to be close with the living.

Where were they when this wonderful man grieved, cried, wrote such haunting music for Frida but never penned a note for himself? Where were this so-called familia? How could they abandon this man who, though flawed, is still one of the best people Ceci has ever met?

♡ Miguel’s Big Secret by papergardener Years later, Miguel finally decides to tell someone the truth of what happened on that Dia de los Muertos. But he doesn’t expect another secret to come out thanks to a bunch of eavesdropping spirits.

♡ I’m Into Fitness by loracarol There’s a hole in the ceiling and a man falls through. At least, he’s man shaped, once he’s completely through the hole - until then he’s mostly skeleton shaped. He’s man shaped enough that Elena cringes when he crashes onto the ground; luckily he looks mostly winded, and not particularly in pain. She wonders if that’s part of whatever pushed him through the hole as well.

the cool parent by Humanities_Handbag aka: miguel had definitely expected héctor to be a cool parent. he was absolutely wrong.

descendants

♡ To Kill A Dragon by PBWritesStuff Life on the Isle of the lost is hard, but the core four are well adapted to it, thanks to the beatings and the constant struggle for survival.

the hobbit

♡ If You Love Someone by authoressjean Erebor is being rebuilt and just in time for Bilbo and Thorin's wedding, which would be perfect, except for one problem. They're awkward together, they don't speak anymore, and they rarely see each other. It's nothing like when he first asked for Bilbo's hand, before they went to Erebor and...well. That happened. It's as if he no longer loves Bilbo anymore, and is marrying him out of duty or obligation.  And when Bilbo realizes that everyone else has figured that out except for him, he knows what he has to do.

Of Mead, Rights, and Sleep by GallantGeekery Bilbo is propositioned by another dwarf. Thorin does not approve.

♡ A King’s Ransom by lilithiumwords "I have come to receive my claim of the treasure of the Kingdom of Erebor, as promised in my contract of employment signed by Thorin, son of Thráin, and Balin, son of Fundin. To get to the point, this jewel is worth a king's ransom. So, I'd like to trade for that, please. The king. Now." Bilbo claims his fourteenth share of the treasure -- and it's not the Arkenstone.

♡ To Have and To Hoard by PurrpleCat When Gandalf strolled up the Bagshot Row towards Bag End, Bilbo Baggins was far from pleased. He might have owed the wizard a favour, sure, though the old coot himself never even mentioned payback of any kind, but a suicidal quest to reclaim a homeland and slay a dragon with only thirteen dwarves, and not thirteen of the brightest at that, was a bit too much. Then there was, of course, the issue of him being a dragon. Kind of. And even bigger issue of Goldlust that could only be controlled by a Tamer. But Bilbo's people were long dead and gone, and his potential Heart with them. So why is his spirit all but purring at the sight of a certain pigheaded Dwarf King?

(m) Evil Grows by MadQueen Agent Stone's crush on the doctor finally comes to light and is dealt with accordingly.

The truth will come out by Caloor Agent stone wants to hide his feelings and Dr.Robotnik just invented a truth serum.

♡ the definition of insanity by VoltageInside “What would you do for me?” Robotnik asked softly, his head tilting all the way to the side. Stone’s tongue darted out to wet his bottom lip, chasing after the feeling of Robotnik’s breath. “Everything.” (Agent Stone is Dr. Robotnik's devoted henchman.)

♡ (m) An Odd Experiment by technetium43 A conversation between Dr. Robotnik and Agent Stone unfolds a little differently.

♡ It Seems to be that Everytime I Look at you Evil Grows in Me by Gamergirl_exe87  After spending half a year grieving what seemed to be the loss of the man he had secretly been in love with for years, Agent Stone has to messily, hastily get his life back together again when Dr. Robotnik appears on his doorstep. He finds that proximity does not mend feelings or make up for the unrequited. Even more shocking, maybe he isn't as unrequited as he originally thought.

Chapter 1

Han had been surprised when Leia had taken him up on the offer to take her to the Hardwood Forest Region of Corellia for the R&R that General Rieekan had insisted she take to recover after she’d been shot by that bounty hunter on Ord Mantell.  She’d been working for two years solid since the Battle of Yavin and Rieekan had decided it was time for a break and had enlisted Solo to make sure she took one.  He liked the smuggler and knew that the smuggler cared for the Princess enough to take the responsibility seriously.  

“Now.”  Han spoke shutting down the Falcon completely.  Something that Leia had never seen him do.  “My job is to make sure you actually get some R&R.  Your General Rieekan said so.”  

Leia rolled her eyes.  “You can’t order someone to relax.”  She got up.  

“Listen your highness, once you see this place you won’t need orders.”  He spoke following her out of the cockpit.  

“Your smuggler’s hideout?  Sure Han, I’m sure it’s lovely just like the Falcon.”  She spoke bitterly.  “I don’t know why we couldn’t have rented some place.”  

“Trust me.”  He spoke gathering their luggage onto his shoulders.  

“I wish Chewie were here.”  She sighed.  

“What?  You don’t trust me without my furry chaperone?”  He smiled at her.  

“It’s not that, I like the idea of him being here just in case we have to get away quick.”  She spoke looking around at the primitive open are touch port.  

“It was time for him to visit his mate Leia, he’d been gone too long this time.”  Han spoke in such a gentle way that Leia didn’t offer a rebuttal.  

She nodded and watched him load their bags in a ratty old landspeeder.  “You sure that’s going to run?”  

“Positive.”  He drawled taking a distributor out of a locked bulkhead and installing it under the hood.  “Try it.”  He winked at her.  She started the speeder and it roared to life on the first try.  He smiled hopping in.  She shook her head and turned away from him so he wouldn’t see her smile as they sped away deep into the forest.  

Leia wandered around the small but well appointed manual cabin that served as Han’s hideout.  She was impressed, it was spartan but clean and had an oddly warm feel to it.  She looked closer at the walls and could see where holographs had once hung.  She’d seen Han quickly clear away a pile of what looked like children’s blocks as if he didn’t want her to see them and it was clear that a woman had lived here at some point.  It had never occurred to her that Han may have had a family before he became a smuggler.  She ran her hand along the burled wood counter tops in the kitchen, they were lovely with iridescent resin inlays.  Whoever’d built this place had put a lot of care and work into it.  

“I set you up in the extra room, you’ll have to excuse the paint the previous resident was decidedly younger.”  He scrubbed the back of his head nervously.  “Never expected to have anyone else sleep in there.”  He cleared his throat.  “The bed’s kinda small but I think you’ll manage.  Um… you want a tour?”  

“Sure.”  

Leia followed him around the small house and listened intently as he rattled off the details of the way the stones were laid for the fireplace and the way the inlay was created in the burled surfaces.  

“Han?”  She spoke quietly as she followed him down the hall to the sleeping quarters and he pointed out the bathing tub on the way.  “Did you build this place yourself?”  

He nodded.  “Used to live here full time.”  

“It’s really quite lovely.”  

“Thanks.”  He spoke opening the door to the extra bedroom.  “Again, sorry about the paint.”  

“Oh, Han powder pink?  It’s the bedroom of a fairy princess.”  She laughed.  

He cleared his throat.  “Yeah well, you could sleep on the couch.”  

Leia sighed.  “Han…”

“Do what you want your worship.”  He turned and stormed off.  

“I um… I thought I’d go to the marketplace tomorrow.”  Han broke the silence of a ration dinner that evening.  

Leia nodded.  

“You know, get some real food.”  He spoke more to his dinner than he did to her.  “I’m a pretty decent cook…”

“Han.”  She cut him off.  

He looked at her with those big hazel eyes and she knew why Chewie called him cub, he looked like a puppy sometimes.  

“I’m sorry.”  

He shrugged.  “We’re fine Princess.”  He got up and headed out onto the deck.  

Leia retired early and curled up in what was obviously a child’s sleeping couch, she’d had one like it when she was much younger on Alderaan.  She was sure Han had once had a family and by his moodiness she was almost positive they were dead.  She wondered if that life event had been that had pushed him into the life he led now.  She’d read his file, he’d been an Imperial and well decorated.  He’d gone from active duty to reserve and then after several years went AWOL and the record ended there.  She’d never asked and he’d never offered.  Two years they’d known each other and he knew more about her than any other living soul, even Luke.  As she lie there in the moonlight she realized she knew almost nothing about him before he was Han Solo the Captan of the Millennium Falcon.  

Leia walked with Han through the market, he seemed on edge and even more hyper vigilant than he normally was.  He kept a hand on his blaster and a hand in the small of her back keeping her close.  She stopped to look at some local trinkets while he picked out some seasonal vegetables, if he hadn’t been giving her the silent treatment she could have almost believed that they were in a comfortable relationship.  She watched a group of street kids beg for credits using a toddler as a prop.  She locked eyes with the little girl, she couldn’t have been more than two.  She had huge brown eyes so much like her own and she almost seemed to hum like an ion like a pulse.  

“Leia.”  Han spoke, he sounded so far away and she could barely hear him over the little girl’s force presence?  “Hey.”  He grabbed her arm gently.  

She looked into his eyes.  “Those children over there.”  She looked around him.  “Do… do they have parents?”  

He looked over his shoulder. “Probably not.”  

“But that little girl, she’s just a baby.”  

“Yeah, that’s the reality of your little war sweetheart… orphans.”  He spoke trying to pull her into motion.  

“But I can feel her.”  Leia spoke rooted to the spot.  

“What do you want to do huh?  Take her home and raise her yourself?”  He joked bitterly.  

She looked at him.  “Han, she’s a baby, the rest of those kids are old enough to make it but you know what will happen to her.  And if I can feel her, if the Imperials find her…”

“Leia, we can’t just take her.”  

“But Han, she feels… she feels like me.”  

“What in the hells do you want me to do about it Leia?”

“I don’t know.”  

He sighed.  “Go to the speeder.”  

“Han.”  

“Leia.”  He handed her their shopping.  “Just go and never ask me about this again.  I’ll be right there.”  

Leia sat in the speeder fuming.  Who the hell did he think the was talking to her like that?  And why in the hell did she let him?  Asshole.  He’s been an asshole since the moment we got here.  Arrogant so kriffing arrogant.  She fumed hunting around in the compartments of the speeder and found a pack of cigarettes.  Fine, I’ll smoke his cigarettes then.  She lit up and took a long drag she didn’t smoke often but it helped when she did.  She wiped her eyes when her tears fell without her permission.  That poor child, that poor force sensitive child.  Gods, she could still feel her and her presence was getting stronger and stronger as she waited on Han to return.  

“Hey.”  Han spoke quietly tearing her out of her thoughts a few minutes later.  

“What?”  

“You want to help me here?”  

She looked at him with the child from the marketplace in his arms.  “Han?”  

“I told you, not to ever ask.”  He spoke handing her over.  He’d eventually tell Leia that’d he’d fully stocked the other kids with a bunch of non-perishable food and warm clothes in return for the baby.  They'd found her after a skirmish several weeks before and were using her for sympathy so Han sweetened the deal with spiced whiskey and cigarettes.  

“What’s her name?”  Leia spoke watching her sleep in the powder pink bedroom of Han’s hideout.  

He shrugged.  “Kids had been calling her Kira.  Who knows what her real name is, it’s not like she came with all of her filmsies.”  

She nodded.  “So, I assume you had a child?”   She gestured to the crated he’d brought down from the attic.  

“Fane.  She and my wife Sulen were killed in that marketplace.  She was about the kid’s age back then.”  He spoke quietly.  “Suicide bomber.”  

“Imperial?”  

He shook his head.  “Rebel.”  

“I’m sorry.”  

“I’ll work for you.”  His voice shook.  “But I ain’t ever enlisting.  I just can’t do it Lei.”  

“I’ll never ask again.”  

He slipped his arm around her and pressed his lips against the top of her head.  

“So what’s the plan?”  Han spoke rounding the bantha leather sofa and handing her a glass of wine from the stash of Aldera he kept for her on the Falcon.  

“I have no idea.”  She spoke watching him sit down next to her.  

“Do you know anything about raising a child?”  He looked down the hall where Kira slept n Fane’s room, in Fane’s bed wearing Fane’s footy pajamas… the blue ones with the doggy in the flight suit.  He cleared his throat and looked at Leia trying to focus on what she was saying.  

“Hmm mmm.”  She spoke sipping her wine.  “I never wanted children Han.  I spent most of my own childhood afraid that my parents were going to give me back or try to marry me off to so fancy, vapid prince.”  

“I figured fancy, vapid princes were your sort of thing.”  He half shrugged and raised his eyebrows, just thankful for a joke he could use to put up his smuggler Han Solo mask and cover his husband and father Han Solo face that Leia didn’t know yet.  He figured it was best to just stay the course for a little longer and keep the mask on.    

She slapped his shoulder.  “Really?  After two years and all of our late night talks when I can’t get back to sleep and that’s what you think of me?”  

“Hey.”  He rubbed his arm still not quite back to himself.  “Easy your highness, I bruise.”  

She smiled at him.  “No, the last thing I want is some jackass who doesn’t know how to handle himself in a fire fight, because that’s what you’re going to get with me… a fire fight.”  

He nodded and watched her watch the fire she’d hand built in the fire place.  “Where’d you learn to do that.”  He gestured vaguely to the fireplace.  

“I used to run away a lot and hide in the woods.  After the last time papa decided to let me spend summers out there.  So, I taught myself how to fend for myself in the wild.”  

“That’s why you’re such a good shot.”  

She nodded.  

“Why’d you run away so much?  Figured you had pretty easy as a princess.”  

“I’m not good at the princess part, Senator sure, mercenary, spy?  Yeah, princess.”  She shook her head.  “I’m just not polished enough.  It’s like I can’t sit still for too long.”  

Hey eyed her picking at her thumb as she spoke and reached over lacing her fingers with his.  “You’re hard on your hands.”  

She nodded.  “It helps.”  

“Helps with what?”  He set down his wine and took her hand in both of his.  

“Sometimes I just feel so… I don’t know, like I’m made of this big ball of tangled wire and it pokes and it heats up and burns.  And I can feel things, people, emotions…”

“Like Kira?”  

She nodded.  “And sometimes it’s all just too much.”  

He took her wine out of her hand and set it down.  “You know, I’m pretty good in a fire fight.”  He spoke gently turning back to her.  “And I ain’t no vapid prince.”  He spoke cupping her face.  He watched her close her eyes and lean into his hand as he stroked her cheek with his thumb.  

“But you’re leaving.”  She spoke thickly.  “Remember?”  

“I don’t want to.”  He spoke quietly letting the mask fall just a bit.  

She opened her eyes and met his gaze.  “Stay.”  

He sighed pressing his forehead against hers.  “That bounty hunter almost killed you.”  

“And I have an execute only order on my head as well.”  She shrugged.

“Leia.”  He sat back.  “My wife and daughter were killed five years ago because I wasn’t there to protect them.”  

“If you’d been there you’d have been killed with them.”  She spoke examining the callouses on his hands.  

“I’ve seen it.  I’m a pretty vigilant guy.”  

“Yeah, now.”  

He shook his head dismissively.  “Listen to me.”  He stroked her cheek.  “I can’t take any chances with this.  I can’t keep putting you at risk.  I can’t go through that again.”  

“What if we neutralize the Hutts on Tatooine, no syndicate, no debt, no bounty.”  

He sighed.  “You want to start a war with the Hutts?”  

“We’re at war with everyone else.”  

He shook his head.  “Lei…”

She took his hand in both of hers.  “I’ll go with you, as a representative of the Rebel Alliance and…”

“He’ll have you dressed in an iron bikini and strapped to his throne.”  He sat back against the sofa.  

She sighed.  

“Lei?”  

She looked at him, looked into those deep hazel puppy-dog eyes.  He looked so vulnerable and so open. Gods, he looked like he loved her.  

“Can we just have now?  Can we stop talking about me leaving and have some time without everything else?”  

She shook her head.  “It’s going to hurt.”  

“Leia.”  He spoke spoke gently.  “Sometimes life hurts.”  He pulled her into his arms.  “But sometimes if you let it, life can feel really good.”  He kissed her temple.  “Can we just have some good?”  Gods, he felt so good.  She had difficulty thinking when he was this close.  “Come on Leia, you can let yourself have a little good.  All the bad you’ve had, you deserve a little good.”    

She looked at him.  “Okay hotshot.”  

He smiled at her.  

“But, I’m not just going to go to bed with you.”  

“No.”  He kissed the bridge of her nose.  “Of course not your highnessness.”  He kissed her lightly at first.  “Thought I’d at least make you dinner first.”  He joked letting the kiss deepen.  

She slipped her fingers into his hair and felt him sigh across her cheek.  She didn’t stop him when his hands searched, his rough fingertips slipping under the hem of her shirt.  “Easy.”  She breathed as he grazed the bandage on her side.  

“Sorry.”  He murmured devouring her neck and removing his hands from under her shirt.  He pulled back and looked at her.  “You need to heal up more first.”  

She nodded catching her breath.    

He sat back.  “Did I hurt you?”  

“I’m okay.”  She sat up.  

He looked at his hands, they were great for building things and fixing the Falcon, but every part of him was so much bigger than she was was and his biggest fear was hurting her.  He knew the reality of what she’d probably gone through on the Death Star and he knew that they’d need to talk about that or he’d at least need to know what not to do, what not to say before things could progress past this point.  

Leia kissed his temple and got up.  

“Where are you going?”  

“She’s awake.”  

Han got up and followed her.  “Is she okay?  Did she have a nightmare?”  

“She’s okay as far as I can tell, she’s just awake.”  

“You think she’s hungry?”  

“I’m hungry.”  

“Me too.”  He kissed her temple.  “Guess I’ll start dinner.”  

“You did say you’d make me dinner first.”  Leia spoke raising an eyebrow at him.  

He kissed her gently and watched her disappear down the hall.  He could get used to having her here.  Maybe after the war was over or at least after things quieted down, they could come back here and raise Kira like he and Sulen had planned to raise Fane.  They were near enough to Coruscant that Leia could commute if she needed to, he’d get her a real nice Hopper.  He sighed running his fingers through his hair.  He had to figure out this Jabba thing, he should have just stayed here and dealt with his loss instead of running off to the outer rim, he should have never started smuggling, but he’d have never met Leia and the kid and they wouldn’t be here in this moment right now.  Leia’d probably be dead if he hadn’t been in that Cantina.  He shook his head and turned on some soft music on his way to the kitchen, hoping to drown out any clattering or loud noises he might make while cooking.  He checked the fire and for a moment he could see Sulen dancing with Fane in her arms.  She smiled at him and in an instant she was gone.  When he looked again he saw Leia and Kira in their place, and suddenly being here didn’t hurt so bad.  

“What are you two up to?”  He asked picking out some of the uniquely Corellian vegetables and spices he’d found at the market that morning.  

“We thought we’d watch the chef.”  Leia spoke sitting down at the eat-in bar.  

He smiled and Kira smiled back at him.  

“She likes you.”  Leia spoke.  “I can feel it, it’s like a warm breeze.”  

“She is smiling at me.”  Han spoke waving at her.    

Leia kissed her temple.  

“Has she spoken yet?”  Han asked quietly.  

Leia nodded.  

“No, I mean from here.”  He touched his lips.”  

“No, not yet, but I also don’t know what language she speaks.  I mean we’ve been speaking Basic and we found her here on Corellia and Kira is an Alderaani name.”  

“She looks like you.”  

“I’m adopted.”  

“Yeah but you’re Alderaani.”  

“I don’t know, I'm a foundling Han.  My papa came back from some off planet Senate thing and brought home a baby.  I don’t know where he was and I don’t know if I was born where he was or who my parents were.”  

“Moccoan Basic right?”  Han spoke thoughtfully.  “Isn’t that the native language of Alderaan?”  

“It was, there weren’t many of us that still spoke it or were Moccoan Alderaani.”  She spoke looking away.  

“The royal family was I’ve heard your father speak, he has an accent.”  Han went back to cooking.  

She nodded.  “My mother barely spoke basic even though speaking Moccoan was looked down upon by the elite classes she refused to conform.”  

“So when she speaks to you up here.”  He touched his temple.  “Is it in Basic?” 

She shook her head.  “It’s feelings, it’s not speech.”  

He nodded.  “Hey kid.”  He spoke catching her eye and held up his finger she tracked it with her eyes.  “Well that’s good.”  

Leia nodded watching.  

He pointed to Leia.  “Mama.”  

Kira looked at him and he nodded solemnly.  “Mama.”  He pointed at her again. 

Mumma.

Leia gasped.  

“Did she say it?”  

She nodded.  

Kira pointed at Han.  Daddy.  

Leia looked at her and then at Han.  

“What?”  

“She called you daddy.”  

He smiled and pointed at Leia.  

Mumma.

“Mumma.”  Leia spoke for her.  “She said mumma, that’s inner rim high basic.  Diplomats say mumma, I said mumma.”  

And then back at himself.  

Daddy.

“Daddy.”    

And then at Kira.  

Kira.  

“Kira.”  

He pointed at his nose.  

Nose.  

“Nose.”  

He smiled.  “Can you say it from here?”  He tapped her lips gently and then pointed to Leia.  

“Mumma.”  She whispered so low he almost missed it.  

He nodded and pointed to himself.  

“Daddy.”  

He smiled and pointed to his nose.  

“Nose.”  

And he pointed to her.  

“Kira.”  

He laughed.  “So very good bitsy.”  

She smiled and buried her face in Leia’s neck.  Han reached out and stroked her baby fine hair.  

“What happens when we get back to the fleet?”  Han spoke as they watched Kira play with Fane’s toys on the lounge rug after dinner.    

Leia shook her head sipping her wine.  “I don’t know Han.”  

“I guess if it’s really a big deal I could take her and bring her back here and you could continue to help run the rebellion.”  Han shrugged.  

“I couldn’t do that to you.”  Leia looked at him.  

“I’m her daddy, remember?”  He sighed sitting up.  

“Han, I’m sorry.  I should have said something to her…”

He smiled at her.  “Kira.”  He spoke leaning down on his knees.  

She looked at him and he pointed to his chest.  “Who am I?”  

“Daddy.”  She got up and wobbled over to him.  “Up.”  She commanded with the same sort of confidence he’d gotten used to seeing in Leia.  

He smiled and picked her up.  “Are you my little Princess?”  

“Uh huh?”  She nodded.  

He hugged her close and smiled at Leia.  “I’m going to enjoy this right now because when she’s a teenager she’ll fucking hate us.  Right now, we’re her safe harbor.”  

Leia curled up with them and closed her eyes.  

Leia felt Han get back into bed as the sky purpled before dawn.  She moved onto her back and looked at him in the soft light.  She could hear rain falling on the durasteel roof and the canopy around them.  

“Did I wake you?”  He spoke gently.  

She nodded.  “The rain’s nice though.”

He propped himself up on his elbow and looked at her in the shadows cast from the window and the predawn storm.  Her eyes were soft and sleepy, warm and inviting and had lost their normal steeliness.  She was beautiful, so impossibly beautiful as she lie there in the bed that he once shared with his wife.  He knew how awkward it must have been for her.  This girl that wasn't his, but that he knew he loved.  He watched her shiver a little.  “Are you cold?”  

She shook her head.  She was on fire and if she was honest, every place that his body touched her burned.  “What?”  She spoke watching his eyes.  

“You’re beautiful.”  

She laughed.  “No, no I’m not.”  

“Yeah, yeah you are.”  He reached out and moved some the hair that had come loose from her braid behind her ear.  

“You should have seen my sister, she was beautiful.”  

“Oh yeah?”  He raised his eyebrows.  “Did she have your big brown eyes?”  

“No, they were blue.”  She spoke looking past him as if trying to see Winter’s face again.  

He shook his head.  “No, see I like your big brown eyes.  They're like caff or well aged whiskey or chocolate.  And they're deep, like I could get lost in there if I’m not careful.”  He stroked her cheek gently.  “Princess, you have the eyes of a fawn and the balls of a rancor.”  

She smiled at him.  “You don’t have to flatter me Han, I’m already in your bed.”  

“Well, I did make you dinner, just like I promised.”  He kissed her forehead.  

She laughed.  

“So everybody thought your sister was the pretty one, huh?”  

Leia nodded sitting up to put some distance between his body and hers.  “She was tall and blond and she had this languidness to her movements.  She always got mistaken for me when diplomats would visit.”  She shrugged.  “They almost seemed disappointed when they found out that I was the Princess of Alderaan.”  

Han shook his head.  “So she didn’t have all this dark hair?”  He picked up her braid.  

“No, Han she was blonde.”

“Nope, I don't buy it.”  He took her hand and marveled at it, she wasn’t sure why.  

“I think you’re biased.”  She laughed nervously.  

“And why would I be biased?”  He locked eyes with her.  

“Because I think you want to go to bed with me.”  

“I do, but I’ve always thought you were beautiful.  I may have wanted to stuff you back in your cell when were on the Death Star, but Gods, I sure thought you were pretty.”  He smiled.  

Leia felt her stomach tighten and her whole body flush.  “Should I be sleeping on the sofa?”  

“Do you want to sleep on the sofa?”  He kissed her fingers gently.  

She shook her head.  

“And I think you want the same thing.”  

Leia cleared her throat and looked at her lap.  She focused on the rain as her pounding heart threatened to drown everything else out.  “Han.”  She started quietly.  “I don’t know if I’m ready for that just yet.”  

He nodded.  “We’d talk first Leia, I know you’ve been through a lot and um.  We’d have to talk about it first.”  

She nodded.  

“But not here, not in bed.  That’s an in-the-proper-clothes sort of conversation.” 

She dipped her chin and smiled at him, he was right in an odd sort of way she did want to be properly dressed for that.  

He moved back onto his back and patted his chest gently.  “Come back to bed your highness.”  

“Sure rains a lot here.”  Leia spoke out on the deck enjoying the smell of the rain and the moss and the lichen.  All of the wonderful deep forest smells that she’d missed since the destruction of Alderaan.  

“It’s a temperate rain forest.”  

“I know.”  She smiled at him as he joined her at the railing.  “It reminds me of home.”  

“I thought it might, that’s why brought you here.”  He spoke leaning back next to her and watching Kira play in Fane’s play pin.  

“Had you been to Alderaan?”  She moved to look at him.  

He nodded.  “Used to pick up wine from Aldera and make drops.”  

“Drugs?”  She searched his eyes to make sure he didn’t lie to her.  She wanted the truth from him from now on.  

He nodded drinking his caff.  “I’m not proud of that.”  

“Then I should thank you.”  She turned around to watch Kira with him.  

He looked at her.  

“I had no idea that you were the drug runner keeping me in grass and black market narcos.”  She set her down her caff, it was too cold to drink.  

He stared into his cup of caff.  “How are you doing with all that now?”  

“I’m fine.”  She spoke more to her feet than to Han.  

He slipped his arm around her.  “You know, you can talk about that if you need to.”  

“I’m okay.”  

He nodded.  

She looked at him.  “Just don’t ever shoot me full of anything stronger than aceto.”  

He nodded.  “And you can drink okay?”  

She nodded.  “Just no narcos.  I’m okay with grass too.”  

“I’ll get rid of anything I have on the Falcon.”  

“Thanks.”  

“Any other scandalous royal secrets you need to tell me?”  He joked.  

“Hmm, let’s see.”  She spoke watching Kira.  “Foundling, drug problem, cuticle destruction…”  

“And you don't think that you’re pretty.”  Han added to her mental list. 

She shook her head.  “Oh, oh!  How could I forget, the big one.”  

“The big one?”  

“Yeah, she patted him down until she found his cigarettes.  “You’ll love this.”  She spoke reaching into his pocket and retrieving his crumpled pack.  

He cleared his throat as she lit up.  “I did quite enjoy that.”  He chucked.  “Wanna put ‘em back in your highness?”  He teased.  

She laughed her big laugh.  “You wish, nerf herder.”  

“I do, I really do.”  He spoke taking the pack from her and lighting up.  “I wish you’d go easy on my smokes too, your highness.”  

She made a face at him and he pulled her close against his side.  “What’s the big secret Organa.”  

“I’m not a virgin.”  

“No!”  He gasped comically.  “Scandalous.”  

She laughed.  

“Well, I mean you are in your twenties.”  He spoke thoughtfully.  

“And you’re kind.”  She laughed.  “I haven’t been with anyone since Alderaan was destroyed.”  

“You and Luke never...”  He spoke quietly.  

Leia laughed so hard she stepped forward out of his comfortable embrace.  “Are you serious?”  

“Well yeah, I mean he���s a nice kid.”  He stammered.  “You’re about the same age.  You pal around a lot, I just assumed…”

“Han I couldn’t, he’s like a little brother to me.”  She laughed.  “Oh my gods, this entire time you thought that Luke and I… Oh Han, why didn’t you just ask me?”  

He shrugged snuffing out his cigarette.    

“If I were interested in Luke I wouldn’t be sneaking onto your ship and crawling into your bunk when I have my night terrors.”  She laughed nervously.  

He nodded considering.  “So if he’s like your little brother, does that mean I’m your big brother?”  

She bit her bottom lip a shook her head as she closed the distance between the two of them.  “No, you are something very different than a big brother Han.”  She put out her cigarette and slipped her arms around his neck.  “You are certainly not my big brother.”  

Han set his caff on the railing and slipped his arms around her pulling her close against him.  

She looked up into his eyes and dropped one of her hands to press it against his chest.  She could feel his heart pounding.  “Remember how you said we need to just enjoy now?”  

He nodded feeling her fingers stroke the hair at the base of his neck.  He hadn’t even kissed her yet and he was already having to focus his breathing to keep his body in check.  

“I think we need to have that talk soon.”  She kissed his chin.    

“No time like the present.”  He kissed her forehead.  

Han stood safely behind the eat-in bar in the kitchen keeping physical distance from her, but leaning close to remind her he was there.  

“It’s not a long list.”  She spoke stirring her second cup of caff.  

He shrugged.  “Still need to know Lei, even if it takes us another six months, I need to know.”  

She nodded picking at the bandage on her thumb.  

He waited patiently because pushing or rushing wouldn’t help anything.  

Leia found the designs on the countertop, the iridescent resin in the burls and she traced them with her fingers, they gave her something to look at when she couldn’t look at him.  This was something that she didn’t want to remember when she looked into his eyes.  “Don’t spit on you hand.”  

Han nodded and didn’t speak, he figured it was best not to let her hear his voice.  

“Don’t tell me I like something, don’t ever grab my head.  Well, I mean if I ever blow you.”  

He nodded making a mental list.  

“Don’t hold my wrists, don’t cover my mouth, don’t call me a whore.”  

He nodded.  

“And for gods sakes don’t come in my hair.  Do you know how many stormtroopers…”  She stopped.  

He shook his head staring at the counter top.  “I’m sorry.”  

“It’s not your fault.”  She reassured him.  

“I wish me and the kid had gotten there sooner.”  He sighed.  

She shrugged.  “So, you lived on the streets, do you have anything like that?”  

“Well, you’re not a man, so no not really.  Keep your hands off my neck, don’t choke me, don’t call me boy, I sure as hell don't like to be restrained and yeah, don’t come in my hair, I hate that too.  It’s dehumanizing.”  

She smiled at him.  “Sometimes I think about cutting off my hair.”  

“It’s none of my business but I’d be fine with that.”  He looked at her.  

She nodded.  

“You okay?”  He took her hand.  

“Yeah, you?”  She searched him, just a little with the force.  

He nodded.  

“Well.”  Han sighed several days later as he changed the dressing on Leia’s blaster wound.  “You’re healing nicely.”  

“Shoot me again, I’m not ready to leave.”  She spoke flatly.  

“I wasn’t implying that.”  He looked up at her as he smoothed the fresh bandage over her side.  “Kira needs more time.”  

Leia smiled at him as he stood up.  

“But I think it’s safe for you to pick her up from the floor now.”  He spoke packing up the med kit.  “I’m going to run to the marketplace, want to go?”  

Leia shook her head.  “The last time I went with you to the marketplace you bought me a child.”  

Han laughed.  

“That and I don’t want her to think we’re taking her back.”  Leia spoke as Kira walked over to them.  

“Daddy.”  She spoke reaching up to him.  “Up?”  

“Want to try it?”  

Leia nodded crouching down.  “Can I pick you up loved?”  

She nodded.  

Han watched them, ready to brace Leia if he needed to, the blaster bolt that hit her side had ripped through several layers of muscle and facia, and though she was really beginning to improve, she was still weak, especially on her dominant side.  He watched her stand slowly with Kira held in close to her body.  “You okay?”  He asked seeing her grit her teeth.  

“Yeah.”  She breathed. “I’m okay, just sore.”  

Leia sat on the floor with Kira in her lap their force signatures intertwined.  She was trying to figure out where she could have come from.  Little Kira, with an Alderaani name and Corellian toughness.  Kira with a force signature like an air raid siren.  That felt so much like her own, so familiar.  The little girl who was already so bonded to her she could almost let herself believe that she’d given birth to her before the Erso Mission.  Kira with such dark, intense, expressive eyes and silky brown hair.  Vader’s cape darkened her vision as reached further into Kira’s mind.  She wasn’t sure if it was more of those trigger points he’d burned into her mind on the Death Star or if she was seeing what Kira saw until she felt Kira shake.  She broke the connection and Kira just sobbed and shook in her arms.  

“It’s okay, I’m sorry.”  Leia crooned holding her so tight.  “I’m sorry.”  She could feel Kira’s alarm.  “I love you.”  She soothed, it was the first time she’d said it, but she felt it for sure.  Leia loved Kira as if she’d carried her as if she and whomever had made her.  It didn’t matter where she came from, she was definitely hers.  

She held her close and leaned back against the front of the sofa.  “Mumma’s sorry.”  She pushed herself to her feet, gods that hurt, she knew she’d bleed from that move.  She adjusted her in her arms and Kira buried her face in her neck and cried.  “It’s okay.”  Leia danced with her and rubbed her back like she’d watched Han do when she’d had that horrible nightmare the other night.  “Mumma’s here.”  She soothed.  She tried to use the force to soothe her but she was panicking too much to focus.  

“Okay baby, we’ve got to calm down.  Let’s breathe together.”  She took her hand gently and placed it against her chest.  “Feel mumma’s heart?”  Kira continued to cry but she felt her nodding against her neck.  Leia sighed.  “Good, okay can you feel me breathe?”  She nodded again.  “Okay, breathe with mumma okay?  When I breathe in you breathe in.”  She breathed in and felt Kira follow her.  “Good girl, and when I breathe out you breathe out.”  She exhaled and felt her follow.  “Ready?”  Kira nodded.  Leia closed her eyes and danced her around the lounge regulating Kira’s breathing the way that Han regulated hers rubbing her back and whispering to her in Moccoan basic, a little song her own mother would sing to her when she was scared.  

Han let himself in and he could tell by Leia’s eyes that something was very wrong.  He set his shopping down and Leia could have sworn he’d only taken a couple of steps to get them.  “Hey bitsy.”  He spoke gently as he slipped an arm around Leia held them both close to his chest.  Finally between the two of them Kira started to relax.  She reached under Leia’s chin and grabbed her earlobe between the pad of her thumb and the second knuckle of her index finger, just like Leia had done as a child and Han had caught her doing to self soothe after nightmares.  

“What happened?”  He spoke handing Leia a toddy he'd made while she stayed with Kira until she’d fallen asleep.  

“I fucked up Han, I really fucked up.”  Leia spoke with her face in her hands.  

“What were you doing?”  Han spoke quietly keeping any hint of an accusatory tone out of his voice.  

She sighed.  “I was just… I was trying to figure out where she came from.”  

“So you were in her head.”  He kept his voice even and low.  

Leia nodded.  

“What’d you see?”  He asked gently.  

“Vader.”  She lookeat him.  

He ran his fingers through his hair.  “Your memory or hers?”  

“Han, that’s the thing, I don’t know.”  She picked at her bandaged thumb.  

He sighed.  “Maybe stay out of her head for a while.”  

She nodded.  

“Are you okay?”  He spoke gently.  

She shook her head.  

Han started to reach for her and thought better of it.  He knew he should ask first.  “Are you at a point where you can be held?”  

“Not yet.”  She spoke looking longingly at the fireplace.  

He nodded.  “You want a fire, Princess?”  

She nodded.  

“It’s not your fault.”  Han spoke wrapping her in a quilt.  

“Gods, I hope I didn’t fuck anything up.”  She sighed.  

“I’m sure she’s fine.”  He offered.  “Kids are resilient.”  

Leia nodded watching him build a fire for her.  “I should have know better, Master Ferus would have never have done that alone.”  

“Well, Obi Wan is dead and Luke’s less trained that you are.  Know any other Jedi?”  He quizzed her gently.  

“I should have waited for Luke to train.”  She buried her face in her hands.  

Han shrugged.  “Nothing you can do about it now.”  

She nodded.  

“So, what do you think you saw?”  He asked gently.  

She shook her head.  “Vader implanted traps in my mind, destroyed good memories, but I’ve never had anything like that happen before.”  

“Do you think it was hers?”  His voice shook a bit this time.  

Leia nodded.  

“Who is she?”  Han spoke sitting on the hearth.  

She shook her head.  “I don’t know, that’s what I was trying to figure out.”  

Han shrugged.  “Well, we know she’s force sensitive and we think she’s seen Vader.”  

Leia nodded.  “And those kids found her after some sort of fight.”  

Han looked at her, his face open hoping she knew he really wished he didn’t have to say it.  “We might want to think about heading back to Yavin for a while.”  

“I know.”  

He sighed.  “I know you need more time, and you know I don’t want to go back.”  

She nodded getting up.  

“Where are you going?”  He looked up at her.  

“To check on Kira.”  Her voice shook a bit as she spoke.  

He nodded and watched her walk down the hall.
