Piett lost track of time, his world narrowed to the scope and the steadiness of his hand.

A denton was lobbed and both of them dove as far apart as possible.

Explosion.

When his sight cleared and his hearing started to come back he could hear Sola screaming his name.

He knew immediately he’d been hit with the shrapnel.

Just the leg , he thought.

“I’m here. I’m here, Sola!” he called, his voice sounding odd and far away. He rolled to his knees and fired again, even though he knew it was hopeless.

Sola staggered to him, blood at her hairline and on her arm.

He tossed his blaster rifle aside and drew his side arm, firing as rapidly as he could.

Another burn to his side and it knocked him to the dirt.

And then the figure they’d been running from for over a decade came into view.

The blast doors hissed open and they entered the Atrium where Piett paused momentarily, and Veers thus observed his first moments on the Lady’s bridge.

He was a true naval man, Veers reflected watching those keen hazel eyes take in everything eagerly. Veers himself was happiest when leading campaigns on solid ground, but he’d observed the navy enough to see the difference between those there merely for the job and those who were there for their ship.

Piett confirmed he was very much the latter when he reached a gloved hand to gently touch the nearest bulkhead before he recalled himself and glanced to Veers, a little color on his cheekbones.

“She’s ah…” he said, clearing his throat a little. “Her design is beautiful.”

Veers found himself wanting to grin at the slighter man, but this was neither the time nor the place. And then Venka was hurrying over to introduce himself.

He was given his own command four months after being promoted. She’d commented on how swift that seemed and he agreed, but pointed out the grim necessity of needing captains. Many of them didn’t make it past thirty.

Sola had gone quiet at this comment and then held his gaze with intense blue eyes.

“You are not allowed to be part of that statistic, are we clear, Firmus?”

“Dearest…” he’d started, but she was unusually serious.

“I know you’re you,” she’d plowed on. “I don’t ask that you shirk your duty ever. Just…I never thought to find you, my love. Other half of my soul. Please, the galaxy can’t be that cruel.”

She was more raw than he’d seen her.

“Has something happened?” he asked, frowning a little and setting down his tea on the desk.

She bit her lip and looked down.

“Not exactly,” she’d replied after a moment. “Just…Padme’ is under tremendous strain at the moment. This war…” She’d looked up at last.

“She’s married.”

He’d blinked.

“I’m sorry?”

“I’m the only one who knows. Well. Now you, but that’s the same.”

He’d smiled at this.

“And it has to be a secret, but she’s so worried for her husband all the time and I’m uneasy about things at the capitol…Just. Please be careful, darling.”

“My dear most favorite person,” he’d said. “I will endeavor not to be an idiot. I’m so sorry you’re stressed. I wish I could be there to help, though I confess I’m rubbish with politics.”

“I need to get supplies for Dad,” she informed the twins seriously. “You need to stay here to watch out for him, all right?”

They nodded in tandem.

She bit her lip as she pondered her next move, but decided they all had to do what it took. Sola pulled two blasters from her bag and handed one to each of them.

“They are not toys,” she said gravely. “They are to be used only to defend yourselves and Dad. This here, this is the safety. If you press it like this, the weapon can fire. This is stun. I’m locking this setting.”

“What if we need to kill them?” Leia asked, brown eyes utterly sincere. Her fierce little girl. So ready to do what it took to protect her people.

“You are not the ones with that responsibility yet, my sweet,” Sola said. “Please trust me on this.”

He finished and came out into the living area just as Leia threw her puzzle ball across the room in fury.

“I HATE him!” she shrieked—-five year old rage making her small body tremble. “I don’t WANT him to be my father! I have Daddy! Why do we have to go?”

There was a beat as Luke’s blue eyes filled with tears and Sola met Firmus’s gaze over the heads of the twins.

“I’m sorry, darling,” he soothed, immediately folding her into his arms. She shook and wept.

“It’s not our fault! Why do we have to go? I HATE him!”

All around them, the room trembled.

Holy kark.

“It isn’t your fault,” Piett murmured into her soft hair as he stroked her back. “Not at all. But I am afraid that there are many things beings can do which cause…trouble for others. Even others that had nothing to do with it.”

They moved slowly down the central aisle and her Ladyship paused frequently to examine things and perhaps speak a little to the seller about business.

She was so very good at it, Piett reflected. Pleasant and direct with a smile for everyone. But also aware at all times. He had learned the set of her shoulders. The swift glances she took from the corner of her eyes as she looked at various wares. This was a woman who was not to be caught off guard. Not for the first time, he wondered just how well armed she was.

He himself tended to carry a smaller spare blaster inside his jacket in addition to the one at his hip. And very few individuals had known of the knife he kept in his boot.

None of them were living any more so that secret was still secure.

She paused at one of the better scarf sellers to examine the vibrant shades and embroidery. And it was then that Piett’s luck ran out.

“Hey!”

Son of a Hutt.

He should have expected it really—this was their chief playground after all.

The enemy had to pull around sharply to avoid hitting each other and then bank to follow him into the atmosphere.

“C’mon, c’mon,” he muttered, shooting glances at his display to gauge where the TIEs were behind him.

They broke into space and the twins gasped simultaneously.

“I see it!” he yelled.

The Empire was not messing around. A Victory class destroyer. Karking, karking hells.

“He’s….he’s there,” Luke quavered.

“ What? ” Sola exclaimed, throwing a glance over her shoulder. “Luke—-”

“ Vader ,” Leia choked, and Piett longed to hold them and comfort them, but right now it was all about getting a clear hyperspace lane.

“Oh Stars, Firmus,” Sola whispered as he put as much distance between himself and the destroyer as he could.

“Keep the TIEs off me for ten more seconds!” he ordered as laser fire scorched by their vessel.

“I knew he liked you right away,” declared Kalkidan, munching happily on jubal fruit.

“Oh please,” Amal snorted, rolling his eyes. “We all did. Wasn’t hard.”

Sola smiled. Once a week she had taken to bringing a large and simple picnic lunch to one of the few parks found in the city. It was the leftover of a by gone era when there had been a government that cared to do things for the people, and now private entities had the running of it. She loved the huge old trees whose roots went ridiculously deep for water. They were a very slow growing variety and very sturdy. Half of them were over five hundred years old.

The children had a favorite spot under one of these and so she brought simple and nutritious things to share.

Both she and Firmus would happily have allowed the children to eat with them every day, but Amal was insistent that he was the ‘provider’ for his little misfit family. This once a week picnic was their compromise.

The house was very tidy—undoubtedly the droid had been helpful—and all delivery boxes and packing material were gone. ND-7 was already humming into the kitchen to clean the bottles as Sola moved lightly toward the sofa where Firmus lay sprawled and deeply asleep.

Beside him was the basket where Luke was sleeping angelically, small hands relaxed on either side of his head. But Leia was snuggled on her husband’s chest, a fuzzy pink blanket covering her and one small hand gripping his sweatshirt, much as she had the very first day Firmus held her.

Something special there, Sola thought. Her husband was clearly exhausted, but his left hand was firmly on Leia’s back and his datapad lay on the floor where it had dropped from his right hand.

Sola brushed a finger over Luke’s round cheek before she carefully pushed the hover basket to the side so she could kneel beside Firmus and press her lips to his.

He stirred immediately, drawing in a startled breath, before his mouth curved under her kiss.

Tag People You'd Like to Know Better

Hey thanks for this @klarionthewizard!!

Three Ships---

Sola Naberrie/Firmus Piett [Star Wars] Barbara Hornblower/Horatio Hornblower [Hornblower fandom], Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane [Dorothy Sayers mysteries]

First Ship---Hmmm. Hard to say. First one I really noticed and loved? Toss up between Anne Shirley/Gilbert Blythe and Eowyn/Faramir.

Last Song---Dancing Queen by ABBA on the radio. Because I always have the station on the Eighties. ;D

Last Movie---I also am largely tv shows at the moment, so...kind of watched 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken' but it was in the background while I was chatting with someone so...

Still. I'm a horsegirl at heart and that movie slaps.

Currently Reading---This is embarrassing. I'm writing more than reading really, so most of what I read? [mumbles] My own work. Hollersandholmes and I have made a pact to read Farenheit 451 together this summer though. :D

Currently Watching----thanks to a tumblr mutual I'm on my first viewing of Stargate: Atlantis. And yep, it does not disappoint in the found family, bromance, hurt/comfort, angst times. Loving it.

Last thing I wrote----I assume completed work. I just finished 'Burn Away the Dross and Find the Silver' though I need to publish that chapter. :D

Currently Writing---various short stories for Multifaceted. Currently it's 'I Felt You In My Bones'. Also working on finishing 'A Shield Not a Sword' where Piett and Veers work independently of both the Empire and the Rebellion. A good way into something with the working title of 'Piett and Sola adopt the twins' ;D. And finally making my way into the next installment of Empire Reimagined with 'Stiffen Up the Sinews, Summon up the Blood' which deals with a Vietnam like situation in space and Veers being captured while Piett has to deal with politicians. [don't worry, he'll get in on the action too]
