Writer: Hopefulwriter
Time Frame: From the Empire Strikes Back and beyond)
Rating: E For Everyone
Characters: Han Solo, Leia Organa


By his mid thirties, in Galactic years, Han Solo had become disillusioned.. wary, skeptical….he’d been betrayed…and took to living and working outside the influence of the law. He’d become a smuggler, a gun runner, a spice deliverer…a scoundrel and a pirate…dealing with the underworld.

He kept to himself, looking out for no one except his partner and himself. He didn’t look for trouble….he didn’t have to…it followed him like his shadow; always ending as the victor in any challenge.

Evading military police and bounty hunters alike he skimmed the edge of the galaxy plying his trade. When he had to kill, he showed no emotion….it was as if his heart was dead.

Then he met a princess…..one who was like him in many ways; headstrong, opinionated,
impulsive, determined and fearless. It took him by surprise…..

At first he was as gruff with her as he was with anyone….she gave as good as she got..
he’d met his match! He wouldn’t have admitted it, but he enjoyed their bantering and
through their adventures together, they worked as a team….even others noticed the
bonding between the two.

Han had begun to let himself feel again, with no reservation…and soon it became evident
the change that had taken place…for they began to realize what touched the heart of Han Solo….

The love-light in Leia’s eyes.

 

Insightful and squeelicious! Leia knew how to soften the barriers where no one else dared

 

Hi Nyota, Thank you for taking your time to read. Appreciate your comments.
He's not as hard hearted as acts. Lynda V.

 

"Lovelight" happens to be one of my favourite ABBA songs. And I can totally see how meeting one's own love light would make somebody drop their shields - before or after helping in an operation of...dropping shields. These H/L vignettes of yours are a much-needed pick-me-up today and yes, I know I already said that, but it needed to be said again.

 

Oh, another December special here on the fan fic boards that I did not react on because I was so busy giving my Dutch husband a great time for Sinterklaas, a feast that has more meaning to his people (and the Belgians) than Christmas itself.

To describe how Han Solo opens up to Leia and her love is wonderful, @Hopefulwriter. You always manage to say so much with only a few words!
