Summary
The photo has been cut wavy around the edges, decorative as if to distract from the dead body Steve is hoisting half-aloft, front and centre, big sunny grin on his sweaty fucking face.
Steve privately wonders if he’s smiled like that since they killed Escobar.
“Jesus,” Peña breathes, eyes wide as he gapes up at Steve. “Jesus, Steve.”
Steve and Javi and one day in D.C.

And isn’t this just a fitting picture of his life down here — him, backed into a corner, and his partner with all his righteous fury before him, and the everpresent promise of violence at his back. They never did fight this out in the embassy.

Summary
He expected his new partner to be a bit wet behind the ears, naive, and more than likely not ready for the wake-up call that was the Colombian cocaine trade. He expected to have to coddle the man. Keep him out of trouble, and more importantly out of the way, until he either learned the ropes or gave up and went back to Miami like a lot of the agents that wound up down here.
He had not expected this. Murphy was tall, long lean lines that sauntered over to the entrance where Javier stood, kicking out his feet with every step to stretch legs that had likely been cramped even in a Jeep. He was blonde, hair slicked back a little too much, in a way that when combined with his oversized suit spoke of an awkwardness stemming from a desire to impress. He had a crooked smile as he approached Javier with his hand stretched out in greeting, both self-sure and earnest in a way that was immediately disarming.

This was the Mand’alor.
And Luke was here, stooping over with one functional hand and clothes caked with sawdust and mud.
(Luke takes Grogu as his first student and tries to teach him as he builds a Jedi temple on Yavin. Those plans keep being interrupted by a certain Mandalorian who is trying to escape his own feeling of drowning.)

Summary
“Oh, it's just a little something I like to call the music of my people,” Steve says. He’s wanted to do this ever since he watched Javi dancing at the bar the other night, and so far, so good. He’d had time to do just about everything except chug copious amounts of alcohol to calm his singing nerves.
He takes Javi’s beers and stashes the case in the fridge—there’s not much competition for the space, anyway. Javi is still staring at the stereo like it’s cursed. “Your people are my people too, you know,” he mutters. “In theory.”

Summary
Din Djarin thinks of the Armorer's words often enough that he has memorized them: "By Creed, until it is of age or reunited with its own kind, you are as its father. This is the Way." And Grogu is with his own kind. Din is no longer as his father. This is the Way.
Din wishes that he was the Jedi. He wishes he could pour himself into the Jedi and live his life with Grogu. He can't stop thinking about the Jedi.

Summary
Luke tries to imagine showing a child a pile of books and saying, these rotting pieces of dust told me you weren’t allowed to see your dad ever again. If Luke had tried something like that on his sister after Ben was born, Leia would’ve told him to fuck off and fuck the Jedi Order, too, for good measure.

Summary
“I just need a refuel,” Luke tells the droids, carefully throwing his legs over the edge of the cockpit to slide to the ground. Grogu coos softly, his hands opening and closing his three fingers.
“Not a problem, we’ll have you—ready to go...” She trails off when she gets a look at the child, who begins babbling. The Force moves around her in happiness then surprise, shock, then something akin to anger sparking faster than a thermal detonator. Before he can open his mouth, in a move that would have left Han impressed, she has a blaster in hand and shot him in the face.

Summary
As newly appointed Co-Generals of the Resistance, Poe and Finn go on a diplomatic mission to Passio Verak, a planet that was until recently under First Order rule. However what appears at first to be a purely ceremonial visit soon takes a more sinister turn. In the midst of fighting for their lives, Poe struggles with leadership, the lasting effects of the war and the messy reality of his feelings for Finn.
(C-3PO hesitates and then, in a passable robotic simulation of a whisper, he says, “Not to question your judgement sirs, but perhaps it would be best not to give the impression that your marriage is in trouble? Palace gossip can be frightfully insidious.”
“Our what now?” Poe says dumbly, blinking. Behind him he hears Finn make a strangled sort of noise.
“Your marriage.” C-3PO says and then tuts. “Oh dear, you really didn’t read the manual on Verakian customs I provided, did you?”)

Summary
When Daniel answers the door, a week after the All Valley Tournament, he'd been expecting Jehovah's Witnesses, asking him if he found Jesus or maybe Ed McMahon, big check in hand, telling him he'd won a million dollars.
What he's not expecting, however, is to find Johnny Lawrence, decked out in designer jeans and looking like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world, than standing there, at Daniel's front door, on the wrong side of the tracks.
~
Or--Daniel's healing from the knee injury he sustained during the All Valley Tournament, Johnny tries to make amends and then feelings happen that neither one of them really saw coming.
