Saga - OT Sibling Snark & Sweetness. Leia/Han, OC

This is SQUGGLE-LICIOUS. I CAN'T EVEN. I LOST THE ABILITY TO CAN EVEN. <3

 

Sweet and powerful as usual!

You also show us the trick how a story can be short, crispy and meaningful.

 

Aww, I love the image of the aurora as background for Sorath and Kandori admitting their feelings for each other. I'm so happy that he's found someone he cares about who feels the same way in return. Maybe it'll help him understand a bit more once he finds out that his sister is similarly twitterpated over some scruffy pilot.

 

LOL -- thanks for the fun replies.

Leia keeps teasing me about my constant comm-calls to Kandori. As if she has room to talk! She burns up the holonet with messages to this Solo dude. She likes to downplay her fascination with him, saying he's nothing but a laser brain, but her eyes sparkle as she says this, and if more than a couple days go by without him contacting her, she gets all edgy and snippy.

On our parents' anniversary, for what is usually a quiet family occasion, he actually showed up to take Leia out for a sunset stroll in the gardens.

She was all blushy and happy when she came back, and Dad gave her this "what's up with that" look, but Mom just smiled knowingly.

I just smirked.

Han...romantic? This is one WACKO alternate universe, all right...

But yeah, Sorath, he is SO MANLY. Stupid Solo guy!1!111

 

Han is there for Leia, that's sure

"So what did Mr. Hotshot want?" I asked my sister later.

She scowled. Apparently, no one can call Han Solo by snippy names but herself. Doubtless a subtle form of affectionate display.

"He asked me to marry him." She said with a blush. Never did I ever expect to see her do that!

"Really? What'd you say?"

"I told him I'd think about it naturally. I'm not ready to jump off the deep end that far, not yet." She paused. "It's not that I don't care for him genuinely. But ..."

I nodded in complete understanding. I cared deeply for Kandori; but neither of us was ready to start a family. We had a lot of growing up to do still, not that we were immature in a negative way, at least I hoped not! But I wanted to feel more settled in myself first ... if that makes sense... Kark, it sure seems nebulous as I stare at my 'padd screen.

Oh ... well...

One good thing about having a sister like Leia, we get one another despite the snippy banter between us. We can confide in each other with very few explicit words to drive home the point.
She smiled gratefully at me now, happy I understood.

don't get married too soon

Well, Leia finally said "yes" to Solo, although I didn't have much of a doubt. She'll be jaunting with him here and there. I'm studying to be an investigator of 'Net-based crimes. Kandori is studying to be a culinary & catering specialist, one whose specialties are desserts for small and large occasions.

Now that she and I are set on our careers, we can see how any romance can and will develop.

I hope it will.

My sister is confident of that: "If Han and I can make a go of things, anyone can!"

I find it hard to disagree with that.

I am starting an internship on Correllia next term. Our family is going in different directions: not emotionally, of course, but planetarily. (Is that a word?)

We'll naturally keep in contact via comm and get together as often as we can, but things are changing.

I greet the changes with unmistakable mixed emotions.

Leia and Han are made for each other. And living on Corellia sounds fun

 

The latest updates had a mockery Jane Austen tone to it. Loved them even more for it.
