Summary
I can’t help it: I’m starving for news about New York. Heck, I’ll take a word about Connecticut or Oklahoma or Nebraska if you’ve got it. Still, I’d like to hear about you most of all. I can picture it better that way, I think. And speaking of pictures, would you mind sending me one of you? Guys here don’t believe you’ve got a girl to write to if you don’t have a picture of her, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to brag on you a bit. Besides, it would be nice to have something easier on the eyes to look at than Dum Dum’s ugly mug

Summary
Bucky smiles. “No, I get it,” he says. “It’ll be weird, though.”
“What will?”
“Not having you around,” he answers with a noncommittal shrug. “I think I’ve gotten used to you being just across the hall.”
“Oh,” you answer. And something clicks for you immediately. You’ve gotten used to him, too. Over just a year, one that flew by, he’s transformed from the Russian Mafia neighbor to your good friend Bucky who lives across the hall and goes on long walks with you. And suddenly there’s the faintest hint of reluctance to leave sparking up into a candle glow life. Well, maybe it’s reluctance. Maybe it’s something else.

Summary
“Well, I’ll let you know if I die.”
There’s silence for a moment. What are you thinking? Are you smiling? Why does he want to know so bad? “What if you live?” your answer finally comes.
“Then I--” He stops himself. This was not what he bargained for. He wanted insight into Karga’s schemes, not a routine. Not promises. But the sentence is already halfway out of his mouth, and he can’t leave it unfinished. “I’ll comm you when I get off-planet.”
“You don’t--” you start. You must think better of whatever it was you were going to say, because after a moment you change course. “Okay.”
“Okay,” he repeats.
***
You're an indentured servant whose debt was recently bought by Greef Karga, and he's training you to help manage his hunters for .02% of your debt taken off each day. That's fine. What isn't fine is getting tangled up in a series of risky deals with the Mandalorian, Karga's most deadly hunter. You've always had a penchant for getting into trouble, but this time you may have taken it too far. -

Summary
“When do you ever want to hear what I have to say?” Din asks.
That response throws you for a loop, and he takes your disorientation to his advantage. He sweeps his leg out and knocks you over. Just in time, you roll before he can pin you and jump back onto your feet. You take several steps back, just to get away from him while you regain your footing.
“All the time,” you answer him. “I want to know what you think.”
Din just stands there. Neither of you advances.
“About what?” he asks.
Anything. Everything. “I don’t know,” you say, rolling your eyes. “Boba’s offer, for example.”
Now, Din charges, but you see him coming. You brace for impact and catch his punch when it comes flying at you. A string appears connecting your knee to his stomach. The string tightens. When your knee connects with his stomach, he grunts and stumbles backward. You give him a second to recover as he did for you.
“You’re close with Boba,” he says after a moment. “You know what he’s like. I don’t see how it’s any of my business.” -

Summary
But he’s not saying anything. So, you just kind of stutter out, “Wh-what?”
“Okay, too unrealistic. You got me. Consider another hypothetical,” he says, gesturing out like he’s about to tell you a fairytale. Feels like a fucking fairytale. “Say we don’t have any extra time off. Say we meet up on the transport just like every other day; but, instead of getting off at your stop, you let me take you to this restaurant a few stops down that serves this really good, authentic Alderaanian food. Say we have a good time talking to each other; and when we’re done eating, you let me walk you home. What would you say to that?”
You’re still staring stupidly, mouth slightly agape when the transport comes to a stop. Your stop. “Shit,” you whisper, turning your head to the opening door.“Is that a yes? No?” Poe asks.
You stand and gather your stuff. “It’s a…” Your feet start taking you to the door on autopilot. “Shit.”
“Shit’s not exactly an answer,” he calls after you.

Summary
Everyone has their thing. Perco takes watches. Nix scrounges for liquor. Welsh continues his never-ending quest for anything that will please Kitty Grogan. Even Eugene robs abandoned apothecaries with only a touch of guilt, making off with as many bandages and sulfa packets as he can carry. And then there’s Speirs, sweeping behind them like a shadow and carrying away anything they leave behind that sparkles or shines.
Babe steals cars. He’s getting pretty good at it.
