<blockquote>Bodhi can't go back, but he's determined to keep moving forward.</blockquote> ➤ Kind of feels like two different ficlets smushed together. I really like the first one. The second is fine but doesn't feel to me to add anything to the story. So I'm tagging just based on the first half.

<blockquote>“Hello.” Luke blinked down at the very tiny girl with dark purple hair sitting to his left. “Uh, hi,” he tried. Up until now the little girl had been eating her food and not all that interested in the state dinner going on around her, and Luke had been talking with an ambassador from a world he hadn’t quite caught the name of so it’d been a stressful forty minutes so far. “Do you want help with the silverware?” the little girl asked. “Only you’re eating your salad with the dessert fork.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>The messenger arrives a few weeks after Crait, dressed in cloth of gold and piloting a ship that costs more than the entirety of the Fleet. (Not that that’s saying so very much these days). “On behalf of Her Royal Majesty Queen Hoyoan and her Consort the Princess Ji’ii of the system Reylouris, I humbly beg audience with the personage known as Rey,” he says. Possibly she, or some other pronoun; Leia literally can’t see more than a pair of eyes under all the cloth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Of course, of course she has a better handle on it than him; he can find her, sometimes, but she can shut him off immediately; all he gets are impressions, not even ideas much less any sights or sounds. But she can pull herself into his mind at will—sometimes he doesn’t even notice she’s there until she leaves, pleased with whatever she’s watched or heard or ferreted out. It’s like swatting at a fly, one too fast to catch, with only Raglien pincers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>anonymous asked: What if Luke and Leia were "switched at birth" (or rather, the difference is how they were split)? Prince Luke Organa? Leia Skywalker? - When she is nine, Leia sits her uncle and auntie down and, small face screwed up with determination, asks for an increase of her allowance. She has prepared points and counterpoints. She cites both local and intergalactic codes of labor law. Her uncle frowns at her for a long minute once she’s done. She holds his gaze, stare for stare, chin untrembling, because that’s how he’d taught her to when they went to barter for parts at Toshi Station. “Alright,” he says. “My bedtime should be pushed an hour later, too,” Leia tries and her aunt laughs and tells her to go do the dishes. When Leia is twelve, she organizes all of the children of local farms into a union. Their parents think they’re kidding until they hold their first strike.</blockquote>
