Work Text:
Poe knows that this is not the end. No matter what setbacks he faces, no matter what setbacks the resistance faces, this is not the end. Leia taught him that. And she knows best, Poe knows. She's been fighting for so long, doing what's right. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how much is taken from her over and over and over. No matter what she is forced to endure. She keeps fighting. She carries it. She uses it to build something new. To fuel the resistance. To give people hope.
She believes in people, believes in him.
