Summary
He wakes up and forgets what year it is, sometimes. Has to scramble through tangled lines of memory to find the answer, waves of disorientation dragging at him, pulling him under till he finds a way to surface, finds something to mark the era. The shield leaning up against the wall with its new Shuri-designed star. The reassuring drone of the helicarrier’s engines. Kamala’s voice out in the hall.
Seventy years, he puts behind him. And then another five.

Summary
Sometimes Tony forgets about the Steve who was deathly ill all the time, the scrawny guy in the old photos, thin-faced and sickly but with the same hard, I-don’t-like-bullies look in his eyes. Maybe there’s something about that, growing up that way, that makes a guy acutely allergic to concern.
Maybe if you’ve grown up constantly knocking on death’s door, you aren’t all that phased when the door swings open.
Maybe Tony’s developing his empathy a little too much. This is uncomfortable. He misses being rich and powerful and isolated and not having to think about other people’s feelings.

Summary
He was going to tell Finn. About everything. The POW thing. The torture thing. Muran. He was going to tell Finn, just as soon as the words stopped splintering somewhere on their way to his tongue, catching in his throat and keeping him quiet.

Summary
“I mean, I know it’s not exactly civilization out here, so...” Poe trails off, leaving Finn with the distinct impression that he was about to apologize for the entire countryside’s existence.
“Poe Dameron,” Finn says solemnly, “are you afraid I’m gonna dump you for being an uncultured farmboy?”Series

Summary
“So, parenting is hard,” Snap says conversationally, and Poe lets out a very, very tired laugh, pressing the heels of his hands to his eyes.
“Yeah,” he says. “Yeah, it’s, uh, something.”

Summary
Poe knows plenty about long winters. Knows how to scrape by on hope and pretty much nothing else, how to make one meal last you a full day, how to hunker down in a library or a cheap coffee shop so you don’t have to go back to the freezing apartment you can’t afford to really heat.
He knows how to cling to whatever rays of light he gets, how to chase a sunset around the block just to see the bright-burning colors and try to remember that the world won’t always look so gray.

If it was never new, and it never gets old by beeawolf
Fandoms: Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
21 Oct 2018

Summary
Time on Yavin passes slow, slow, slow, like he’s been dropped back into one of those long summers of his childhood, when he’d been too young to fly on his own but too old to be content with messing around on the speeder. The world grows small and sluggish and narrow, sharpens down to small trials.
If he can just remember how to play this one chord on his old guitar, for example, then maybe he’s going to be okay, maybe he’s not useless, maybe he’s going to get them out of this after all. Maybe he’s going to be the leader General Organa says he is.

Summary
Dameron looks shot. Like maybe three steps away from recovering-from-prison camp shot, which is a look on him that Jess is intimately familiar with and never really wants to see again.

Summary
Poe and Jess are going to see Mamma Mia 2, or, as Poe had corrected Finn in song-form, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. This has been arranged since the moment the trailer came out.
It is, Finn has come to understand, an Important Occasion.

Summary
“Tell him to go home,” Han says. “He’s not listening to me.”
“Mr. Solo,” Poe protests, tossing Han a look of utter betrayal. He’s pale, a thin sheen of sweat over his forehead.
“And tell him to stop calling me that,” Han grouses, turning to stomp off again. “Tell him he’s fired if he keeps calling me that.”
“What am I supposed to call him?” Poe asks Leia dolefully. His voice is off, scratchier than it should be. “Han? Am I supposed to just call him Han? The greatest pilot of all time and I’m supposed to just –” He pauses to cough into his elbow.
(Poe's sick. Leia drives him home from work.)

Summary
Nothing could have actually prepared Finn for Poe Dameron, was the thing. No sign, no slamming door, no trumpeting of car horns. A lifetime of second-guessing and triple-checking and scrambling through crisis after crisis wasn’t enough to keep Finn’s heart from skipping one sharp beat at the sight of a single curly-haired, bright-eyed, beaming stranger.
Of course, said stranger had also just been hit by a car directly in front of him, so Finn’s heart could maybe be forgiven.

Summary
It takes him a moment to see Kes walking toward them, but when he does Poe straightens up tall and grins that Shara Bey grin. The kind that used to light up the whole world, except this one is fleeting and roughened at the edges.

Summary
The dog wasn’t supposed to happen. Really, very little in Poe’s life was supposed to happen, but the dog, well. That was way out of left field.

Summary
"He used to balance on the highest branch he could get to and stretch his fingertips up up up as far as they would reach, like he could lift himself through the thick canopy and into the stars just by sheer force of will."
(The Falcon drifts, and Poe sleeps, and sleeps, and sleeps.)

Summary
"Poe’s pain engulfs her own stab of grief before she can even fully acknowledge it. It’s overwhelming. She can’t reach him through this murk, can’t see past that blasted mask. She knows he’s there, the bright shining heart of him must still be there, but she can’t reach him.
(Poe, whispers her mind, or Ben?)"[Poe dreams. Leia watches over him.]

Summary
“I must say that you planned your dramatic collapse quite efficiently.”
Arno isn’t sure what he means. Doesn’t particularly care. Bonaparte is a means to an end at the moment. That is, after all, what they’ve been to each other since the beginning.
[In which Arno deals with grief and near-death experiences and the conundrum of how to live in the world once it's fallen apart. And also the future emperor of France. Set sometime after the events at the temple.]

Summary
“Come on, Jess, I’m not gonna go climbing out the window and then crouch in the bushes till I can jump out and steal the nearest X-wing.”
“That was...extremely specific.”
(In which Poe Dameron returns from Jakku and is ready to jump back into the action, definitely, probably.)
