  1. Summary

    i have a running correspondence with my friend ao3 user redledgers, and as part of this we used to send little mini-fics back and forth to each other with our letters. these were never more than a page or two long, and they were all written between the years 2011 and 2014, roughly. at some point i decided to upload them here in order to fill out this profile, and i don't really have the heart to delete them now.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what to say,” Karen says. “Did you see any good movies recently?”

    “When do I have time for movies,” Claire says. “Besides, they’re all about people beating each other up and dying. I see enough of that every day, thank you.”

    Summary

    The thing is--

    The thing is, Poe Dameron is tactile. He’s expressive and volatile and talks with his hands, dark eyes alight with joy as he weaves his stories and always, always, he’s in contact with someone.

    He’s leaning against Snap’s shoulder as he eats custard bread and talks about life on Yavin 4. He’s got an arm around Jessika’s waist while he spins a wild story of running from smugglers (after winning their cargo in a poker game). His hand rests on Nien Nunb’s thigh as they eat dinner, or he laces his fingers with Karé Kun’s as they sprawl in the common room after their shifts.

    But he never touches Finn like that.

    Summary

    Cho cried and she survived Pansy Parkinson's cruel jabs about a dead boy. She wept and she passed all her classes, kept up with Quidditch, watched fairweather friends scatter in the cold wind. She got very good at wordlessly summoning tissues and she joined the DA against her parents' wishes.

    They had told her to behave, begged her, ordered her, as the threatening darknesses of the world clung close even inside Hogwarts, and Cho walked out to the little pub in Hogsmeade and wrote her name down on Hermione's list.

    I hope someone in the DA told Cho that she ought to have been in Gryffindor.

    I hope she laughed at them, hard.

    Integrity. Truth. Honor. Dedication. These were the tenets of her House, of the blue and the bronze, the eagle called raven (called nerd, called stuck-up, called so many things that were not their names). Bravery was only one way to be a hero.
