    Summary

    When Sironn married the King of Kadar, he quickly grew to understand that the King had all the power, and Sironn had none at all. Which is why Sironn considers it nothing short of a miracle he outlived the abusive tyrant.

    He'll take solace in that, as his own end is no-doubt coming quickly now that his husband has been declared a traitor and executed for his crimes. After all, there's only one thing to do with a deposed king's spouse, and that's kill him as quickly as possible.

    One problem. The new king, Eshan, disagrees.

    Summary

    Poe's hyperdrive gives out, stranding him and BB-8 on a small space station until he can figure out repairs. Short on credits and no contact with the Resistance, Poe has bigger concerns—but still, something about the station's mechanic seems familiar...

    It felt like an old memory, a spirit-story his grandfather would tell him, clever tricksters making deals with the afterlife guardians. Or maybe the war stories Mama used to tell, brave and daring heroes up against impossible odds.

    Summary

    One of the more senior pilots had been picked up by a local Imperial patrol. No sign they knew the pilot was Rebellion, yet. Low security holding, and—if the Rebellion moved fast—a good chance to get their people back.

    Davits had mostly been confused by the briefing. But then Captain Antoc Merrick's face had popped up in holodisplay blue.

    "It's low enough heat that you can probably run the op," Cracken had said, while Davits stared at the rotating image and his heart started to thud louder in his chest. "Or I was thinking maybe Bren, but I figured I'd give you first refusal."

    "It's mine," Davits had said, carefully shoving down any emotion even as his heartbeat turned staccato. "I'll be ready to deploy in an hour."

    Summary

    Cassian only distantly notes the pain. He's distracted by the ghost of sensation around his shoulder. The warm spot where Wedge's fingers squeezed is slowly chilling, and Cassian is having trouble thinking of anything else. It's been so fucking long since anyone's touched him casually. Not because Cassian is handling them for a mission. Not because they want something in return. But here Antilles is, easy and confident in Cassian's space without any ulterior motive. Cassian's skin aches.

    He hates it. He doesn't want Wedge to stop.
