<blockquote>The war is over, and nobody won. With the galaxy on the verge of destruction, Poe Dameron hatches a desperate plan—go back in time. But Poe's plan quickly goes awry, and he finds himself on the run from local authorities. The only plan to keep him safe is…extreme, to say the least. / "Can't get you citizenship documents," the man muttered, his voice clearer now that it wasn't muffled by the scarf. Poe took a deep breath and forced himself to think. He looked back at his would-be rescuer. Who was shoving the scarf back from the top his head, revealing a face that Poe knew. That lots of people knew. Kriff, that everyone knew, trillions upon trillions of sapients in the galaxy would recognize that face. Luke Skywalker—as fresh-faced and young as the day he became the successful destroyer of the Death Star—was standing in front of him. Fuck. "Need a land grant to get a moisture farmer licence, can't even get you a travel visa without citizenship documents…Hm," the legend said, sighing. "Yeah. I think we're going to have to get married." </blockquote> ➤ I loved this fic so much that I read it twice in one week despite its length

as the author said on tumblr: <blockquote>Really really really self-indulgent sequel about the first week of David and Patrick’s relationship. I think the thing that compelled me to write fic is that Patrick said he wanted to go slow because he’d never been with a guy before, but the show has not spent much time dealing with Patrick dealing with that. It’s shown Patrick dealing with some other things, I think; I love lots of the stuff they’ve done with him! But it really interested me to have him so inexperienced but really wanting to try things but needing to take his time, and meanwhile David is really experienced physically but I think inexperienced emotionally, in that he flat out says he hasn’t had relationships with “people he thought were nice.” :o( OMG he’s so sad I love him.</blockquote> ➤ sequels: Week Two The Days After Completely Booked

<blockquote>Damianos is being sent to the prince of Kumat, who will take him as a husband; this is among the terms of the treaty that will end the war at last. Unless, presumably, he displeases the prince and is executed, which seems to him as though it is all too likely. But perhaps they will only dislike each other a little. Perhaps the prince will find Damianos's looks to his taste, and be willing to fuck Damianos at least the necessary once. That would not be so bad. It is too improbable to be worth contemplating, that perhaps they will each please the other very much indeed, and like each other, and be happy. Far, far too improbable. And even if by some chance it were so—too many dangers would yet remain for it to have any hope of lasting.</blockquote> ➤ I love this story a lot but also I am Very Concerned about the long-term viability of their lives, their relationship, and the state of their countries, given the political situation..... I JUST WANT THEM TO BE OKAY.

Now, Victor intends to do everything on that list… ~ “The conversation,” Victor says, “went something like this. You said I wasn’t getting in your pants that easily.” Victor says this in a normal tone of voice. Anyone could hear him. Yuuri looks around, but if anyone is paying attention, they’re pretending not to. “Naturally, I asked what I would have to do to get in your pants.” “Ah.” Yuuri blushes. “How embarrassing. What do you mean, naturally? Why would you ask that?” Victor tilts his head. “Because I want to get in your pants. I thought that much was obvious by now.”</blockquote>
