Hello! Could I plz request where Luxiem (separately) react to their s/o being a cute neko vtuber who doesn't understand dirty jokes or anything sexual? It's ok if no!
Tumblr media
with a s/o who is innocent. w/ luxiem
✧ luxiem x gn!reader [separately]
✧ content: the two most unseiso people trying to be seiso - they're trying, headcanons
✧ rule of thumb: please read my works as fiction related to the streamers, they are in no way real or connected to what the actual streamer is as a person - i write for the personas of luxiem, not for the person behind them.
✧ a/n: i did debate whether or not to do this since it does border what i don't write, but then again it would be a nice challenge to try and write without making this too sexual. and hello! sorry for a sudden disappearance, i was on a cruise since yesterday and used the time off to just rest!
Tumblr media
✧ Not all too bothered by it, he makes a few borderline suggestive jokes here and there once in a blue moon, and it's relatively jokes you understand too and you both get a kick out of it.
✧ However, is the victim to explaining whatever dirty joke other people do if you happen to do a collab together, better for the lover to teach you something than anyone else after all!
✧ Laughs about it nervously when you ask what it means, and if you don't drop it he'll just smile and go: "I'll tell you later," and he's a man of his words, when he tells you and he sees you blink a couple of times as the information processes before your face slowly goes red he chuckles, patting you on the head.
✧ Is also the victim when you however use a certain innuendo or sexual joke without knowing what it truly means. He will make a surprised sound when you throw it out, stammer a bit and ask if you know what it means. And when you reply no, but you've heard the others say it a lot he just sighs: "Babe, that has a more sexual meaning than you think-" "... Oh."
Tumblr media
✧ Doesn't mind it either, Ike is someone who doesn't actively participate nor like saying sexual innuendos or jokes often too. His form of interacting with sexual media is through his personal interests that he doesn't see the need to share with others unless asked personally after all.
✧ Groans super loudly whenever a dirty joke is passed around in a bit of bigger collabs, his usual reaction. But with you present he does take care of you a bit more, asking if you would like him to explain what it meant.
✧ No he's not embarassed about having to explain, but he will try to explain the context of it without being too explicit. Most of the time it just leads to another liver telling you what it means straight up and Ike just groans before nodding: "Yeah, that's basically what it means."
✧ Does ask after the collab if you weren't too uncomfortable though, he knows you're aware it's all in jest and often times he sees that you laugh even when you don't understand, but there's no harm in asking if you're okay about these topics.
Tumblr media
✧ He is as clueless as you. His repetoire of sexual jokes is literally all the deez nuts or sugma jokes he haunts everyone with. As his lover you're no exception, if anything you get to hear that 10x more than any other liver.
✧ As such, when you're clueless about a joke, he is of no help because chances are he is as confused as you and need someone to explain it to him as well. It leads to some cute moments of obliviousness from the two of you though, because you both will react the same way. Laugh and then ask what that joke actually meant.
✧ However, I do think Luca picks up the fact a joke is sexual quicker than you, so he will try change topics, or try to turn what could become a sexual joke into another one of his iconic: deez nuts joke. Mafia man might not know the sexual side of the world, but he will still shield you!
✧ When you use a sexual joke that he understand, he malfunctions a tiny bit. Just goes: "Oh... Hahaha, p-pog," because what else is he going to say? He's beet red from hearing those words slip from your mouth.
Tumblr media
✧ Literally the first time you two met he greeted with you: "Naaw, will you give me some milkies?" and when he saw your model tilt to the side with a slight frown he just knew that you wouldn't understand whatever dirty joke he threw at you.
✧ And he's tried, he's tried so much after that to be tame. Like yes he still swears to high heaven and hell, but he does make an effort to be somewhat more seiso around you.
✧ And as much as you appreciate it, you don't want to restrain him so when you tell him that you're fine with him being like his usual self because that's why you fell for him in the first place, his barely there filter just flies off.
✧ Sexual innuendos thrown around, some at you and some at others. Questionable reactions whenever you get mad at him whenever you collab: "Mmm, yes please yell at me more," and you just stop and stare at him: ".... Okay everyone so that's it for today's collab," No- wait I'm sorry I'll stop baby, I love you!"
Tumblr media
✧ Ngl, I feel like Vox form of dirty talk would be weaved into his way of speaking. He can recite poetry or a story, and then suddenly hit you with something incredibly erotic or sexual and you're just left processing for a second because - wow that caught you off guard.
✧ When it goes a couple of very awkward seconds with the two of you just staring at each other, you in confusion and Vox waiting for a reaction, it takes you opening and mouth and going: "Was that supposed to mean something?" for Vox to realize that: oh, oh his dear lover is quite the innocent one.
✧ Oddly enough finds you quite adorable when you don't get most sexual jokes besides the very upfront and basic ones. Aww's and swoons whenever you go silent before quietly asking: "What does that mean?" and he's just: "Oh you sweet thing, let me tell you it basically means-" and Reimu is screaming at him to not tell you a single thing.
✧ If you're still curious off stream though and ask Vox about it, he will chuckle and lean closer with a closed eye smile: "Don't worry dear," he will reassure, "When you're ready, you'll know in due time." Take that statement however you would like.

HanaDoll* 3rd Season THINK OF ME:NOTHING L 3-11 English Translation
Translation on this was done very generously by my sister, editing and proofreading done by myself and a friend! Please note none of us are professionals, so there may be errors. Thanks!
Listen along here: https://open.spotify.com/track/08noT4htdVEweaQ1RULMcl?si=b2a54387075249f9 
Read on google docs here.
L 3-11
Ageha: [walks in and sighs] Hm?
Toki: [breathes]
Ageha: Toki? How about turning on some lights?
Toki: [breathes heavier]
Ageha: [shakes Toki] Toki.
Toki: Aah… Ageha-san?
Ageha: If you're going to sleep, go to your own room.
Toki: Huh? Was I sleeping?
Ageha: You didn’t even notice when I came in.
Toki: Oh, sorry. Welcome back, Ageha-san.
Ageha: I’m back. House System, a cup of water.
House System: [beep boop]
Ageha: Toki, how was the medical check today?
Toki: Mine? It was the same as always.
Ageha: The same as always…?
Toki: Actually, I’ve been feeling good recently! In singing and dancing, I can tell my form is getting close to perfect.
Ageha: I see. Preparations for the music awards will be starting soon. I don’t need to remind you, but take care of yourself.
Toki: Okay!
Ageha: ...Where did he go?
Toki: If you mean Rui-san, I think he’s in his room. Should I call him?
Ageha: No, there’s no need. You should rest too. 
Toki: Eh? But…
Ageha: What is it?
Toki: If it’s not too much of a bother、 can’t I stay here a little longer? Somehow, I’m not very sleepy…
Ageha: [sighs] Fine, then just sit there with your eyes closed.
Toki: Huh?
Ageha: If you do that, you can rest a little. It would be best to lie down, but if you make enough time to quickly listen to the information from the MC, that would be enough.
Toki: Ageha-san. I’m doing okay! I really feel better!
Ageha: I believe you. But you should know. From now on, Loulou*di will be a group looked up to and supported by all. 
Toki: So our health has to be in perfect condition, right?
Ageha: That’s right. 
Toki: I understand. Then, I’m closing my eyes. 
Toki: Ehehehe.
Ageha: What is it?
Toki: It’s just, I’m having fun. 
Ageha: Fun?
Toki: Even though my eyes are closed, I keep thinking about what Ageha-san is doing. Like, now he’s drinking water, and now he’s writing something. 
Ageha: I see.
Toki: Even though I can’t see, there are still things I understand.
Ageha: Toki.
Toki: I love that someone’s here in the same space as me. It makes me… so… [light snoring]
Ageha: [sighs] He fell asleep.
Rui: Ageha.
Ageha: Rui. What were you doing until now? Nevermind, you don’t have to answer that. It makes no difference anyway.
Rui: Are you angry? 
Ageha: Angry? Me?
Rui: I guess not.
Ageha: Do you not understand the current situation? Don't leave a tamed puppy unattended.
Rui: I didn't mean to, but I'll apologize.
Ageha: You enjoy irritating me. 
Rui: I understand the current situation. The groundwork I laid the other day is also going smoothly, I think.
Ageha: Yes, the power and message of Loulou*di is spreading nicely. To the world, and to that person too. 
Rui: The number of views on that video is still increasing, even several months after it was released. It seems that the number of subscribers to our music channel is also increasing.
Ageha: Naturally. From the moment the masses hear Loulou*di's songs and see their performances, they drown. They sink to the bottom of a deep, dark abyss. And like reaching for the light that they can see beyond the surface of the water, they cannot help but look up at the brilliance of Loulou*di.
Rui: Hmm...
Ageha: If you have something to say, then say it.
Rui: No, if that is what you say, then that is how it is. 
Ageha: Toki is necessary to create the perfect Loulou*di.
Rui: Ah, I understand.
Ageha: If you understand, then quickly carry him to his room.
Rui: And you? 
Ageha: What do you mean? 
Rui: Yesterday, your sleep hours were less than optimal. Even today, you were out late-
Ageha: You really are a bad man. You even know my sleeping schedule. This is a critical time for Loulou*di. If I’m asked I’ll answer, and if I plan to sell out, I’ll sell everything. 
Rui: Then tell me what needs to be done. We’ll do as you say.
Ageha: Praise an obedient dog, and he’ll become an even greater watchdog. Practice for the music awards will begin soon. We must showcase the overwhelming perfection of Loulou*di without any other idol riff-raff getting in the way. And until the event, there is just one piece we’ll need. Watch over Toki carefully.
Rui: To you, Toki-bou is a necessary piece. Then, what am I?
Ageha: If you have time to say such stupid things, then go away quickly. 
Rui: Understood. [picks up Toki and walks out]
Toki: Ah, Rui-san? 
Rui: Toki-bou. 
Toki: I can go back on my own.
Rui: It’s alright, just stay as you are.
Toki: Okay…
---
[Loulou*di performing Dying Matter, the song ends]
Set Designer: [claps] Good work! I think that was really great! You’ve got the steps down perfectly in such a short time.
Toki: Of course. Don’t compare me with those low level idols.
Set Designer: Huh? Ahh, right…
Ageha: Excuse me. Please change the set leading up to the chorus.
Set Designer:Huh?! But-
Ageha: It’s inconsistent with our current conceptual image. Please change it to something that expresses more emotion.
Set Designer:But, I thought it was exactly what you’d asked for-
Ageha: That's your interpretation. We can't continue with something that we've judged to be bad. We never compromise. We always aim for perfection. That's what it means to be Loulou*di.
Toki: That’s right. If you can’t understand that, maybe you should just quit? 
Set Designer:Ngh! I understand. Then, I’ll come up with a different set and submit it in a few days. [leaves]
Toki: What was that about? Isn’t that too rude?
Rui: Ageha. Toki-bou. Here, water. 
Toki: Ahh, Rui-san! Thank you. 
Rui: Did something happen? 
Ageha: He had loosened up so I had to light the fire a little. Even then, he's a professional stage designer. If he abandons his job after a blow of that degree, then he is just another inferior person. 
Toki: The Loulou*di that aspires for perfection has no need for half-assed people like that, right? 
Ageha: That’s right. We are standing on a brand new stage. Now we must climb to greater heights by cutting off any who cannot keep up.
Rui: Ageha.
Ageha: [breathes] The path is clear. Now, we must continue down it. Whatever lies ahead… we cannot be afraid.

Girl 1:Sorry for the wait! The train was late. 
Girl 2:It’s okay! I watched some videos while I waited.
Girl 1:What did you watch?
Girl 2:Cat videos, and manga. Oh, and I saw Loulou*di’s new video. 
Girl 1:Loulou*di…  Is that the group that just premiered their music channel?
Girl 2:That’s it. They’ve become a hot topic, so I subscribed to the channel… Wait, are you a fan?
Girl 1:I'm not sure anymore. The image of the group has changed since I first started liking them. It feels like I've graduated from being a Loumiel.
Girl 2:Loumiel is the name for Loulou*di's fans, right?
Girl 1:Yeah. The community has been pretty chaotic recently because of the music channel thing.
Girl 2:Huh? Why?
Girl 1:Well, there are a lot of people who have been unhappy with how it has changed.
Girl 2:It sounds like they just don't get along. That's a common story in any fanbase.
Girl 1:I wonder if they didn't realize that there would be a backlash if they suddenly did that kind of approach. I wouldn't do it...
Girl 2:Hmmm, that group Anthos from the same production group is doing well, so maybe they’re trying to imitate what they’re doing? 
Girl 1:Even so, I don't think it's working out well. If the concept of a unit is suddenly changed, there will be fans who can't keep up.
---
[logging in noise]
Internet Fan 1: Excuse me! Ah, you changed the design of your room?
Internet Fan 2: Yeah, I couldn't leave it as Loulou*di's performance stage forever. It felt kind of empty.
Internet Fan 1: Isn’t it? Loulou*di really isn’t here anymore… 
Internet Fan 2: It's true. I didn't want them to stoop down to a place where anyone could easily see them on a music channel.
Internet Fan 1: I know. If they had just stayed at the top, we would have worshiped and praised them from afar, and loved and followed them.
Internet Fan 2: But they reached out to us all of a sudden.
Internet Fan 1: It feels like the mystery is gone.
Internet Fan 2: Right. All the other Loumiels are saying that. Well, in this day and age, I don't think anyone would think it's slander. But, of course, the publishing industry is in chaos.
Internet Fan 1: [sighs] I wish Loulou*di would go back to the way it was before. The one who was here, the absolute ruler, the amazing charisma… Loulou*di … Ageha-sama was that kind of person. 
Internet Fan 2: Yeah. I thought he was being himself. I think in some way… I didn’t want to realize that he was just a human being…

Tumblr media
Join me.
"Y/N?" I jumped turning around to look at who called my name.
Poe.
"Oh- Poe. Hey!" I said and looked around the room frantically. I still had the same pressure in my chest, but at least I couldn't hear that voice anymore.
"Everything okay? You seemed a bit upset..." Poe said as he put his hands on his hips.
"Yeah, everything is just fine." I said hoping my voice wouldn't betray me. My breathing was uneven, but I gave him a small smile.
"You sure? Look, I'm sorry about the others when they mentioned whatever made you upset-" He was saying until I interrupted him.
"I'm not upset" A lie, but I didn't want to burden him.
Poe sighed as he examined my face. He knows somethings up. Damn, he's good. But how am I supposed to explain to him exactly what's going on? Listen, I was training to be a Jedi until my brother turned to the dark side and escaped. Oh, I'm also hearing voices! Yeah, sounds completely normal.
"Listen. I don't know what happened to you, but I believe it's before I met you because that's when I found you... crying in the hangar. I just- I want you to know that you don't have to be alone. Maybe I can't help at all but... I'm here. Even though we recently met and we're not even in the friends status." He said and at that very moment, tears started to form in my eyes, I felt a lump in my throat and I wanted to become small and disappear. Maker, does he have to be so sweet?
I hugged myself and looked down, trying to find the words. But I didn't even know what I wanted to say. "I- I..."
"Hey, hey..." Poe said as he walked up to me and placed both of his hands on my shoulders. "It's okay, let it go. Let all of it go. There's no shame in crying and showing a bit of vulnerability sometimes." He said before wrapping his arms around my shoulders and I buried my face in his chest.
I started to sob uncontrollably and my body shook, trying to catch my breath. Poe rubbed my back in soothing circles and rested his cheek on my head. That's when I felt it. A rushing feeling of safety all over my body...
The light.
This man right here was the literal representation of the light. A soul that was filled with kindness and bravery. Where the hell did he come from? And are there more like him? Probably not. He's a one of a kind man. Why am I having all these thoughts-
"You're okay. Everything is gonna be okay... Don't worry." He said as he still had me in his arms.
A few minutes passed and I was able to calm down. I hadn't noticed until now how Poe was gently swaying me from side to side. "You are my friend." I muttered but my voice came out muffled as my face was still pressed into his chest.
"Sorry, what?" He asked. I tilted back but I didn't look directly at him.
"You are my friend." I said and sniffed. I looked up at Poe and he was smiling, obviously happy at my confession.
"Oh, am I?" He said with a teasing tone. "Didn't know how much of an honor it was to finally be your friend, Solo."
I rolled my eyes and stepped back. "Ok. You're not my friend anymore."
"No, no, no! I'm sorry. It is an honor!" Poe said quickly as he rushed to pull me back in his arms. "I'm kidding, please still be my friend. Please. Please. Please. Please-" He kept repeating making me laugh.
"Ok. Ok! Fine! Yes, I'm still your friend. Jeez, Dameron." I said and with that, he squeezed me, making me squeal.
"You won't regret it. I'll be your best friend. Like your bestest friend ever. The best best friend." He said and I giggled.
Beep boop. What about me? I heard BB-8 say and we looked down. He was looking up at us rolling back and forth.
"You too, buddy. You're my favorite droid." I said and crouched down to pat his head. Poe copied my movements.
"Did you ever have a droid?" He asked.
"Not really. R2-D2 and C3PO were always around, but I wouldn't say they were my droids. They're more like family members." I said with a chuckle.
"R2 has been asleep for a while now." Poe said and I let out a sigh and I nodded.
"Yeah... I know." I said.
"Sorry. You don't have to tell me, it's okay." He said and I looked at him.
"Maybe I'll tell you everything one day. When I'm ready..." I said. Poe nodded and grabbed my hand.
"And whenever that day comes, I'll be here to listen." He said. I smiled and nodded back.
Beep beep. Me too! BB-8 said making us laugh.
"So, what are your plans in the Resistance?" Poe asked and I shrugged.
"Well... I was going to ask my mom if there was any place for me to be one of the pilots. Maybe there's a spot for me in any squadron." I said and stood up.
"You can be in Black Squadron! You'll have me as a fellow squad member." He said excited.
"If the rest of them are fine with it, count me in." I said and Poe smiled as he stood up as well.
Poe and I kept on talking as we went back to the canteen and finish our food. And I was happy that I made a new friend.
Or new friends, if you include BB-8.
******************
That night I went looking for my mom to talk to her about being a pilot in the Resistance.
"Preferably an X-Wing. They're so cool." I said to her. My mom raised an eyebrow.
"So this has nothing to do with your new friend Lieutenant Dameron?" She asked.
"Well, it had nothing to do before... But now I feel like it would be fun to have a friend there." I said. Mom hummed in agreement.
"Did you tell him anything?" She asked and I knew she was talking about Ben and Uncle Luke.
"No, I don't know if I can. It would change the way he sees me." I said and looked down.
"What do you mean? I don't think it would." She said and I shrugged.
If I told Poe that I couldn't stop my brother from doing evil, he most likely see me as a disappointment. Ben is probably causing trouble out there in the galaxy, and it's only a matter of time until the Resistance finds out. The New Republic was recently warned about a new Empire looking organization. I think they were called the First Order... or something like that, but the republic told us there was nothing to worry about because there were no planets being threatened, no people being killed. But I had a bad feeling about it...
"If Poe finds out about what happened... about what I didn't do... don't you think he would be disappointed? That he would see me as a type of traitor?" I asked.
"No, I think he would do anything in his power to assure you that it wasn't your fault." She said. I shook my head and looked down. Mom sighed and grabbed her data pad. "If you wanna be in Black Squadron, I'll ask the captain, we'll do some training and see if he accepts your request. Maker you are a Solo, aren't you?" She said amused and I chuckled.
"How's dad?" I asked.
"Didn't hear much from him, but Chewie said he's alright. Just mellowing in grief." Mom said.
"Yeah, I know that feeling." I said barely above a whisper.
"Go get some sleep, Y/N. You'll need the energy for tomorrow." She said and softly caressed my cheek. I nodded.
"On my way, General " I said with a small smile. My mom scoffed and rolled her eyes playfully.
"That's Mom to you, young lady." She said making me laugh.
"Good night, Mom. Love you." I said.
"Night, honey." She said and I walked away, heading towards my room.
************************
"Ben! No!"
"You're weak."
"You'll never be a jedi."
"It'll kill you... eventually."
"Join me."
Join me.
"No! I won't!" I shouted at the dark figure.
"It's in your nature... the dark side." The robotic voice said
My breath hitched and I started to run. Bit it's as if the room itself tilted, and I fell. My surroundings turned into a dark hallway, and the floor started to light up on the sides.
"What is this place? I wanna leave!" I said.
"Don't fight it."
"This is where you belong."
"You can't lie to her. She sees your true nature."
She? My mom? No, no, she doesn't think that of me...
"Y/N."
I turned around. Ben. He was standing in front of me.
"Ben?" I asked
"When the moment comes I won't hesitate." He said and then he disappeared.
"What?" I asked and then another figure appeared. It had a mask on and what seemed to be a life support in the middle of it's chest.
"Join me." It said in that same robotic voice.
No, no, no. I wanna leave. I wanna go with my mom. With Poe and BB-8. I wanna help him with his ship. Anything!
The dark figure ignited his lightsaber. It was red. He slowly walked towards me, but I took some steps backwards.
"Join me."
"No!"
"NO!"
I jolted awake and sat up in my bed. I was breathing rapidly as I looked around my room. The sheets were getting wrinkled as I clutched them in my hand.
It was just a nightmare... You're okay. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was rising. Might as well get up since I already woke up.
I got out of bed and changed into my Resistance uniform. As much as I tried to clear my mind, I couldn't. I was still shaking and I couldn't button up my shirt.
I walked out of room and into the hallway. There were some people who were already awake. I waved at some of them and continued my path to the canteen. I need caf...
Many tables were empty, so I took the opportunity and sat down with my cup of caf and my piece of bread. Breakfast options were slim, but I wasn't complaining.
"You're up early." I heard my mom say and I looked up at her. "Morning, honey."
"Morning. Yeah, I decided to wake up early amd be extra ready for today and my flying session." I said and smiled.
"Hm. Because it looks like you had a nightmare." She said and I sighed.
"Maker and Stars, mother. How do you know everything?" I asked and took a sip of my caf. My mom chuckled.
"I just do. Do you wanna talk about it?" She asked.
"Not really... It wasn't that bad, really. Just a memory of that night." I said with a shrug, not mentioning the other voice I heard.
"Traumatic events tend to have a toll on us. It's gonna be okay. You're here and your safe." She said as she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Yep. I know. Thank you..." I said softly. My mom nodded.
"See you later in the hangar, honey." She said and walked away.
Today I was gonna do some training sessions in the X-Wing so the captain of the Black Squadron could see if I was fit to be member of their squad. Not gonna lie, I was nervous. I knew I was a good pilot. My dad taught me ever since I was 8 years old. He would be happy to hear that I wanted to be a Resistance pilot.
I was familiar with X-Wings. I once flew the one that belonged to Uncle Luke. Apart from being force sensitive, piloting was my passion. Using the force just came as hereditary I guess.
"Morning, sweetheart." I heard someone say. Only to be revealed as Poe when I looked up.
"Morning, Dameron." I said with a smile.
"How'd you sleep?" He asked as he sat in front of me. I took a deep breath.
"Golden." I said and he chuckled.
"Ready for today, future squad member?" He asked and elbowed my side.
"Yes, but don't call me that! You'll jinx it." I said making Poe roll his eyes.
"Jinx it my ass. You're a Solo, for crying out loud. It's in your blood. Have you been practicing?" He asked.
"Ever since I was 8 years old." I said and he nodded.
"Nice! So you got nothing to worry about. Soon enough I'll be your fellow squad member and annoying you for the rest of your life." He said and I chuckled.
"I don't think you could annoy me, Poe." I said.
He looked at me with a soft smile. "And why's that?" He asked as he leaned a bit over the table and looked into my eyes.
"Actually you could, but I don't mind." I said with a teasing smile. He placed his hand over his heart and gave me a fake offended look.
"You break my heart." He said.
"You'll heal." I said and took a sip of my caf.
Poe chuckled and shook his head before taking a sip from his cup. Breakfast with his company went by comfortably. He lifted up my mood and made me laugh countless times. Then, BB-8 rolled towards us and beeped out a greeting.
"Hey there, Little Bee." I said.
"Little Bee?" Poe asked and looked at me.
"Yeah. It just came out, but you know, his name is BB-8... Bee... Little Bee." I said and waved my hands around as if I was joining together some imaginary words.
"Hm. That's cute." Poe said and smiled.
Beep boop beep. I like it! BB-8 said and even though the little droid couldn't show any emotions, I knew he was happy with the new nickname.
Time passed by and it was time to go to the hangar and meet with Black Squadron. I had already changed into the orange flight suit that they gave me, and I went to say hello to the squad member.
"So, Y/N Solo wants to be in Black Squadron, huh?" Snap asked me with a grin. I nodded.
"About time you guys need a good pilot around here." I said teasingly and Poe barked out a laugh, as the rest of the squad did.
"Oh, she has the soul of a pilot alright." The captain said and Karé patted my back. "Alright, hotshot, let's see what you got. Let's do this quick. I've got a mission after this."
I nodded and grabbed a helmet. I turned around looking for my mom, and found her standing a few meters away. She smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I returned the gesture.
The Captain of the squad took me to an X-Wing and told me to get in. I sat down and closed the canopy. Poe got in the X-Wing next to me, and saluted at me from inside his X-Wing. I saluted back and he winked at me. Maker above...
"Alright, Y/N. We're all gonna take off first and then you take off last. Then I'll give you instructions on what to do. Just remember, don't actually shoot since we're on the same team." The captain said over comms with a chuckle. "Good luck."
"Copy. Starting engines." I said.
Everyone took off and I waited for my turn to do so. Once I did and was in the air, we all elevated to a high altitud. I could see the whole base from up here. I forgot how much I loved flying. I really missed it.
"Alright, fighters. We're gonna do some training. Y/N, the rest of them will act as the enemy and they'll try to crowd you and get you to crash. The objective is to get away and attack them from behind." The captain said.
"Copy that." I said and firmly grabbed the control throttle.
I could see ahead of me how three of them were getting into position and flying towards me. Once they were close, I flew the ship towards the right, flipped around and in 3 seconds, I was behind them.
"Good job. See guys, she would've shot you down by now." The captain said.
"Oh shush." I heard Snap say over comms, making me giggle.
"Alright, do it again." The captain said.
The same three pilots started separating in different directions. Only to spin around and fly towards me from three different points. Oh, I see.
They were trying to attack me from different places. I knew exactly what I had to do here. I gripped the control and swopped the left, under Snap's ship, over Karé's and spun under Jessika's. Then swooped up and appeared behind them again.
"Woo! That's what I'm talking about!" I heard Poe say over comms, making me smile proudly.
"Nice one, Solo! Didn't see that coming." Snap said.
"Thanks, Wexley." I said.
The rest of training went great. I speeded around with Poe and beat him only by a little. He laughed and cheered for me again.
Poe swooped and spun around me, speeding off many times.
"Now you're just showing off, Dameron." I said and I heard him chuckle. He flew around the X-Wing I was in.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." He said and I rolled my eyes playfully. I decided to tilt the ship to the left and and spin around Poe, making him lose a bit of balance. "Hey!"
I giggled. "Gotta stick to the rules, buddy." I said.
Once it ended, we all landed in the hangar and hopped out of our ships.
"That was some good flying, Y/N. Great job, I'll get back to you later with my decision." The captain said and shook my hand.
"Thank you, Captain." I said with a smile.
"I'm on my way to my mission. See you girls later." The captain said and pointed to the men of the squad when he said 'girls'. Making us girls snicker.
"Good job, Y/N. I hope you can join the squad." Karé said.
"Thanks." I said with a smile. The rest of them congratulated me and walked away.
"Had fun?" Poe asked and hooked his arm around my shoulder.
"I would've had fun if you wouldn't have showed off." I said joking.
"I just show off what I got." He said with a huge grin.
"Just kidding. I did have fun. You're a really good pilot by the way." I said. Poe had a bashful smile and looked down. I could almost sense he got shy at my compliment.
"Thanks. So are you, Y/N." He said and I smiled." Almost as good as me."
"Ok. Bye." I said and walked away. Poe laughed and wrapped his arms around my shoulders to stop me.
"I'm kidding! We're both equally good." He said.
"That's better." I said and we started to walk inside.
"You hungry?" Poe asked.
"Starving." I said in an over exaggerated tone.
"Let's get lunch then." He said as he let go of me and patted my back.
Poe and I, and BB-8, had lunch together and talked about everything. And I do mean everything. From what's our favorite color to the constellations in the stars.
Then it was time for us to go back to our duties, so I went into the debriefing room to help my mom. She was controlling the mission which the captain of Black Squadron went on. Apparently it was just a supply run and getting some intel from the New Republic.
I was sat down with a data pad in my hands, crossing off the things we did. My mom was at the other side of the room, talking to the other generals, when suddenly, a noise of static was heard.
"General-" We could hear. My mom and the others looked at each other and walked over to the table where comms was.
"What is it?" She asked into it. I lowered the data pad to my lap and listened.
"----Ambush-" Somebody said.
"Whoever this pilot is, your comms seem to be damaged. State your name repeatedly." She said and we could still hear static.
"---- Wexley." They said. The captain of Black Squadron.
"Black Leader, what's going on?" My mom asked.
"----General--- Ambushed! We're being ambushed-" He said and my heart dropped.
Suddenly, I felt a pull in my chest. I had a bad feeling and I clutched the data pad. I slightly winced and shut my eyes. Mom my mom noticed this and furrowed her eyebrows.
"What is it?" She asked me. I shook my head.
"I don't know, but I feel-" I started saying, but the captain spoke again.
"General, we are being---- I repeat, we are--- attacked!" He said and my mom looked over to Connix.
"Try to reach the others. Find out what's going on." She said sternly and Connix nodded and got to work.
The pull in my chest got heavier and it got harder to breath every second. What the hell was happening to me?
"Captain, get out of there! Jump to lightspeed!" My mom said.
"General, we---" He was saying until his comms were cut off and the only thing we could head was louder static.
I looked up at my mom and shook my head slowly. "They were attacked." I said.
My mom looked at the other generals and back at me.
"He's gone."

@akatsuki-beep-boop requested: I just wanted to request some idk small headcanon of the 2012 turtles and how they would act around their crush (gender neutral if possible)?
Thank you for sending in the request! The ask option should work fine now as well!
Disclaimer: This work hasn‘t been proofread so I‘m sorry for typos or grammatical errors!
How the Turtles (2012) act around their crush
Leo
He‘d get very nervous around you. Neckscratches and stuttered words are a daily routine when you visit the lair.
Leo does get jealous quite easily and when you‘re around his brothers his insecurities skyrocket. But whenever he realizes this he reprimands himself and goes into either the door or his room to meditate.
He gets flustered easily when you touch him, may that be a brush of hands or a full on hug - he never hears the end of it from his brothers.
You would never get scolded - you‘re the one where his strict leader-persona falters. Plus, he just can‘t handle the sad expression on your face. (His brothers use this to their advantage when they‘ve messed up though.)
Leo will help you with everything he can, even if it‘s just making a cup of tea for you when you‘re studying for a test.
Whenever you‘re at the lair he‘ll either hover around you all the time or is doing his best to avoid you - there‘s no in-between. He never knows if he‘s too overbearing on you or if he isn‘t making the intention behind his actions clear enough.
This boy can fit so much overthinking in him.
Tumblr media
Raph
Raph is always in awe whenever you do something new or improved on a skill.
He always offers his help whenever he can - of course he tries not to make it obvious but… he isn‘t as good at it as he thinks.
He won‘t ever get angry at you or explode in your face and scream at you - it‘s quite the opposite. You‘re one of the few people in his life that are actually able to calm him down. (His brothers do make use of that from time to time.)
Spontaneous nighttime visits announced by a knock on your window are an usual occurrence when this turtle is crushing. He‘ll either come with a movie to watch or just invites you to a stroll under the stars - or even a sparring session, depending on your interest.
His brain just stops functioning when you‘re nice to him - his cheeks match his mask in color and he‘ll have a light stutter before getting a grasp of himself again.
Raph tries to spend as much time with you as possible - cue him giving you special training units just to be close to you. Plus, he‘ll be so proud when you win!
During movie nights or also just during general lounging in the living room he‘ll always scoot closer to you - again, he tries to be smooth… emphasis on try. But he just can‘t help it! Around you he just gets so jittery.
He does get a little jealous when you do stuff with especially Leo and tends to get frustrated when it happens. Then he‘ll be found in the training room, blowing off some steam.
Tumblr media
Donnie
Donnies crush on you is painfully obvious.
He‘ll constantly craft you trinkets and you‘re always the first to get updates for your phone.
As soon as you set foot into the lair he‘ll be at your side. The only exception for that is when he‘s working on something really important for their mission. But even then he‘ll take a break to greet you, if even just for a minute or until Leo shushes him back into his lab.
Donnie always lights up when he sees you come through the entrance. When he only hears your voice he‘ll become the definition of speed to come greet you.
When you show him even the simplest form of affection he‘ll become so nervous he won‘t be able to get a normal word out.
He‘s always there to help you with projects for school and will gladly explain any subject to you when you‘re struggling. For tests he‘s also your self-proclaimed studying partner!
If you give him a hug or any kind of physical contact he‘ll just short-circuit.
Whenever you‘re nice to him or thank him for a gift he‘ll give you his big smile.
He does get quite jealous when you spend time with his brothers but you won‘t really notice it as he does retreat back to his lair to distract himself.
Tumblr media
Mikey
While it takes him some time to notice that it’s a crush and you’re not just a very very good friend, he‘ll become an even brighter ray of sunshine around you.
Mikey always tries to impress you - he‘s the master of “Hey [y/n]! Look at this!“ crash
Even when most of his stunts don‘t work he still counts them as a win when it makes you laugh or come to help him with any injuries.
He seems to have even more energy around you and often invites you to join him - may that be skateboarding or cooking. It‘s just more enjoyable to him when you‘re around.
Mikey is very intuitive when it comes to emotions and is always very good at comforting you - even when you didn‘t even know you needed it.
Hugs for days! He‘ll always try to teach you in some way and isn‘t ashamed to just plop into your lap or envelop you in a bone-crushing hug after a tight mission.
He‘s also not one to get jealous… much
Mikey knows you‘re good friends with his brothers and would never demand of you to only give attention to him. But when you haven‘t given him much attention and spent a lot of time with his brothers his happy persona tends to slip and he‘ll retreat into his room.

{in my head pt.2} Poe Dameron x smuggler!reader (soulmate au)
series masterlist 
last part  *  next part
a/n: hi everyone! I can’t thank you enough for all the love on the first part of the series!! I was actually super nervous to post it and had my friends beta read it an unhealthy amount of times, so the feedback I’ve gotten has been wonderful :) p.s. the series tag list is open, send an ask or message if you want to be tagged for the rest!
warnings: alcohol consumption, soulmate trope, poe not clearing his throat, cliffhanger, I haven’t proofread this yet 
timeline: I never established this so here we go! this is set between force awakens and last Jedi! so we’re still on D’Qar ladies, gents, and nb friends. however Miss Rey has not yet traveled to see Uncle Luke 
word count: 4k oops
songs used: mr. loverman - Ricky Montgomery & the chain - Fleetwood Mac (kinda? I just listened there's no singing in this part lol)
summary: you and Poe spend some time bonding, you go on your first mission 
Tumblr media
You loved being apart of the Resistance. Waking up on D’Qar every morning was a blessing in your eyes. You had a purpose here. You’d never stayed on one planet for so long. Being on the run was your norm for the majority of your life. It was too dangerous for you to stay on one planet for too long (or stay in one region for that matter). The humid Jungle was the closest thing you’d had to a permanent home since you were a child. 
That is, D’Qar was the closet thing to a physical home you’d had in years. There was one person that had no trouble making you feel at home. You could be stuck in carbonite on a bounty hunters ship and hearing your soulmate’s voice wold make you feel safe. His sweet song felt like coming home to the warm embrace of a lover. 
But you hadn’t heard it in weeks. And it was starting to worry you. There had always been that nagging voice in the back of your mind telling you that he’d found someone else. But now that voice was trying to convince you of something much worse. You don’t know what you’d do if you’d spent all this time waiting for your person only to find out that something awful had happened to him. 
You’d rather find out he already belonged to someone else. 
You did your best to push the dark thoughts away, locking them in a box in the back of your mind. You couldn’t let yourself linger on the idea of him being dead or it would drive you insane. 
There were three people that did a magnificent job of keeping your mind off of all the negative thoughts. On days when it felt like the weight of the war was resting solely on your shoulders, your friends were the ones who could help you bear it. They were always there for a joke or a long talk, if that's what you needed. Of course you were there for them as well. It was the first time you’d allowed yourself to have people in your life that could rely on you. 
Days like today were your favorite. The weather was finally starting to cool down on the swampy planet, making the outside air somewhat tolerable. Everyone you loved was on base, safe and accounted for after a successful mission. Every time one of them left the base you felt as though you were holding your breath until they came back. But now, in Poe's small quarters with Rey and Finn, you felt the air return to your grateful lungs. Poe had devised a plan to hit up Maz’s on the way back from the mission and snagged a few bottles of jet juice, which you and the rest of the gang were all happily draining  in his quarters. The alcohol was just beginning to burn in your stomach and your head was the slightest bit fuzzy. You took your time soaking in the scene of your found family spread out on the cold permacrete of Poe’s room. 
Finn’s boisterous laugh rang out as his best friend finished telling every one about his adventure and a half to get the jet juice. Finn was especially fond of the tangy, red alcohol and was on drink number four down the hatch.
“Only you, Dameron,” Rey laughed to herself, gently taking the half full bottle out of Finn’s hands. His face of protest caused another round of laughter to erupt around the small room. He looked like a child that was denied a sweet by their parent. 
Finn fell back against the permacrete, his head making an awful hollow sound as it hit the ground. He didn't seem to feel it and decided the floor was his new best friend for the night. Rey got up from her position against the wall and began to pick up the empty bottles scattered around the room. 
“Looks like the jet juice served it’s purpose,” you commented, nudging Poe in the side with your elbow. Finn was now curling into the fetal position, trying to use a rug as a blanket. 
You had your legs resting over Poe’s strong thighs. He patted the side of your leg where his hand had been resting, carefully moving your legs off of him. “I better help him back to his room. Someone has to make sure he doesn’t end up running naked through the tarmac trying to fly an X-Wing,” Poe said. 
“I’d should head back to my quarters too,” you stood up to put your boots on, but Poe stopped you. 
“Actually, do you think you could wait here till I get back? I have something I want to give you,” Poe winked at you, helping Rey tug their friend to his feet.
You couldn't help the way your heart sped up at his words. And you definitely didn't miss the eyebrow raise Rey shot you from the door. 
“Yeah, I’ll just hang with BB-8 till you get back.” 
A low voice bellowed out from the door, “OOOOH HE GOT YOU A PRESENT! How romantic,” Finn was apparently trying to wake up the entire base with the way his voice was booming off the walls. You were sure he hadn't meant for that to come out so loud. Or to come out at all. 
Everyone went silent. You and Poe pointedly looked away from each other. His cheeks flamed red. You pretended to be preoccupied with the frayed laces on your Resistance issued boots. 
Rey looked between the two of you and then broke the awkward silence with: “Aaanyway, let’s get you to bed Peanut!” She sounded too cheerful, trying to reduce the awkward energy that hung in the room. Being force sensitive you could only imagine how she was perceiving the situation. She and Poe hauled their inebriated friend out into the hall, desperately trying to shush him as he was now singing. You hoped his poor soulmate wasn't trying to sleep. 
Finn clapped Poe on the back hard when they finally got into the drunk man’s room. Rey had helped Poe get Finn to his quarters but had dipped when Finn requested to be helped into his pajamas. They were close, but not ‘undressing one another’ close. Poe was itching to get back to his room and see you again, but he helped his buddy none the less. 
Finn was finally laying in bed when Poe turned to leave. 
“Are you okay?” 
Poe hesitated, then turned on his heel. “Yeah?” he furrowed his brow at the unexpected question, “Why?” 
“You haven’t been singing.” Finn was suddenly serious. 
Poe’s face softened when he realized what Finn was so concerned about. 
And he was right, Poe hadn’t been singing. It wasn't hard to miss, everyone on base noticed. The man who used to use every spare moment to sing to his soulmate had gone quiet. People actually missed hearing his voice all the time. Echoing through the halls of the base or out on the tarmac mixing with the whine of X-Wings taking off and landing. Finn wasn’t the only person worried about Black Leader. Leia had even mentioned something to her surrogate son a few days back. She enjoyed his singing more than anyone. She said it was a sparkle of hope during a dark time.
But the truth was, Poe didn't feel like singing. Guilt was the main thing keeping him from inflicting his voice on people whenever he could. How could he sing to his soulmate when he was fighting off feelings for someone else? He was doing everything in his power to stop you from being at the forefront of his mind all the time, but it was hard when your smile was his favorite thing to occupy his mind with. 
“I miss my lover, man.” 
He did. He missed his soulmate, whoever they were. He missed randomly hearing their soft voice humming through his mind. He missed the way he felt when he would sing to them. It was the closest thing he had to actually being with them, talking to them. He missed that he used to long for them. Lately that unconditional, blind love was being clouded by someone else. You. 
“Tell me more stories about your Dad.” You were sitting cross-legged on the floor across from where BB-8 was nestled in his charging station. He had been beeping and booping at you for the last half and hour as you waited for his father to return. 
The droid animatedly jumped into another anecdote about a recent mission he had gone on with his favorite person. He rattled around in his charging station, whirling his head around and beeping rapidly at you. 
“He did what?!” you asked the little orange droid as the blast doors flew open, revealing the man in question. You turned to face Poe, mouth still agape at the droids admission to you.
“Who did what?” Poe asked confused, walking into the room. The droid then decided he was done charging and rolled over to Poe for scritches. Poe kneeled down and gave his favorite little guy some love, looking at you for an answer. He laughed at the way you had your arms crossed and were giving him the same look Leia gave him when she found out he’d gotten into a dog fight.
BB-8 beeped adamantly at him. 
“Maker, Beebs, you told her about that?” He glanced nervously at you, only to find you were now trying to suppress a laugh. He was soothed by that damned smile that was burned into his mind. 
“Unfortunately for you, I can understand BB’s binary perfectly. Now I know why you have to work on your ship so often,” you teased. “You’re not exactly tender with her.” You were trying to keep up your facade of being angry with him for being reckless. You were failing, your smirk giving you away. 
Why did the fact that you understood BB-8 give him heart palpitations? His droid was absolutely going to get him into trouble with you one day. Apparently he can’t be expected to keep secrets. 
Poe ignored your jab and  walked over to sit behind you. 
“Close your eyes,” he demanded softly. 
“No, I don’t trust you. What kind of weird creature are you about to put on me?” you asked, twisting your torso to see him. 
He cocked his head at you, “Would you just have a little faith in me? I have something special for you.” He laughed. You narrowed your eyes at him but closed you eyes and turned around anyway, your smile growing bigger every second.
“Besides, if I was going to put a creature on you, I’d do it on front of more people,” he taunted. 
You laughed humorlessly at him, “Always the attention whore.” You heard him playfully shush you. 
Poe took a deep breath, silently grateful that you couldn't see the way his hands were trembling. He reached up and removed the silver chain from around his neck for the first time in years. He then carefully slipped it over your head and watched from over your shoulder as his mothers ring came to rest at your sternum. 
Deep breath. “Open.” 
You immediately turned toward him, a look of shock on your face.
“Poe what is this?” you asked, alarmed by the ring resting delicately on your collar bone. 
Poe's warm eyes held so much softness in them, you thought you would bust into tears right then. You turned to face him fully, confused as to why he just put this piece of jewelry around your neck. 
“A good luck charm,” he whispered, admiring the way it looked on you. 
“Is this the chain you wear every day?”
He nodded, still giving you that look that made you feel like the only person in the universe. 
“Then what's this ring?” The bottom of the silver chain was always dipped below his collar, if the ring had always been there, you’d never seen it. 
“It was my mother’s wedding ring. I wear it every day, take it on every mission, even sleep with it on. One day I’ll give it to my soulmate when I ask them to marry me, but for now it serves as a good luck charm for me,” He explained with a sad edge to his voice. 
You had become close with Poe Dameron in the last few months. While a large portion of that time was spent with Finn and Rey, you also had spent a few late nights just the two of you. He had a knack for making you laugh and you would often stay in his quarters long after the others had retired. Deeper conversations were far and few between, the two of you preferring to spend your time together in a fit of hysterics. It was strange to see this man so serious. There was no twinkle of mischief in his eyes tonight. 
You suddenly felt suffocated by him. His face was a mere few inches away from yours and you could feel his cool breath fanning across your face. His large hands rested on your knees, giving you a light squeeze and snapping you out of your haze.
“Poe are you sure you want to give this to me? I can't imagine how important it must be to you.” You reached up and stroked the smooth metal. 
“It’s the most important thing in the word to me. But I want you to have it for your first mission. Since I’m not going with you to help you when you accidentally shoot yourself in the foot, I want you to have a piece of me there with you. And what better to give you than my good luck charm?”
You felt your tears spill over, streaking hot and wet down your face at the sincerity in his voice. You couldn't believe he wanted you to have this piece of him with you. He was becoming one of the most important people in your life, and him sharing something so special with you meant the world. 
You were going down a slippery slope. If you weren't careful, you could fall in love with this man so easily.
“Poe, thank you. I don't know what to say,” you reached forward, pulling him into a tight hug. You nuzzled into his neck, letting the scent of leather and engine oil envelop you. He reached one arm securely around your waist and brought the other up to gently cup the back of your head. He took a deep breath in without meaning to, overwhelming his senses with you. He didn't want to pull away and had to hide his disappointment when you did. You kept your hands on his shoulders, squeezing slightly. 
“I promise I’ll bring it back safely so you can give it to your soulmate one day.”
_
The next few days were a whirl wind of meetings, briefings, more meetings, caf breaks, and did you mention meetings? You spent more time in the command room with your team than you did anywhere else. You forgot life existed outside the confines of the dirt walls.
But you were ecstatic that Leia trusted you with such an important mission so soon after joining the Resistance. Plus you couldn’t be more grateful for the people that were joining you for this mission. 
Finn was excellent for morale and a very smart man when he needed to be, unless of course he had jet juice in his system. Miss. Force-User Rey was always a good person to have on a mission. You brought a sense of craftiness to the crew, thanks to your smuggler skills. And Chewbacca was the only one (besides Poe) that Leia trusted to pilot the Falcon. Plus, he had a soft spot for smugglers, making you a new favorite of his. 
The one person you wished you could add to this team was Poe. His pilot skills would have been a great help to Chewie, he was talented with a blaster, and he was easy on the eyes. But he had a more important solo mission with BB-8 that Leia needed him on. He didn't make himself completely scarce though. He often came in and out of the Command Center, having his own mission to plan with Admiral Akbar. He made a point of bringing you caf every time too, he knew exactly how you liked it. 
You were terrified for your first mission as it was, but not having Poe there made everything ten times more dangerous in your eyes. 
The ring he had let you borrow was becoming a source of comfort. Whenever you got anxious about the mission you found yourself fiddling with it. The smooth metal was slightly worn in one spot on the band and you ran your fingers over it repeatedly to calm yourself. Something you caught yourself doing unconsciously on a number of occasions. 
The plan was simple. The Resistance had gotten word of an ex First Order official on the planet Ryloth, less than a parsec away from Tatooine. You and the rest of the crew were to go there and see what information the old Commander could offer you. Simple. But that didn’t stop you from needing to cover all your bases. Every single thing that could have possibly gone wrong had an escape plan to coincide. You were as prepared as you could be.
Your favorite part of the plan was your mode of transportation. As an ex-smuggler, you’d admired the Millennium Falcon and it's pilot for years. You’d heard every story surrounding Han Solo and his old piece of junk. Seeing it in person, let alone flying on it was something you’d never thought would be possible. But here you were, boarding the infamous ship. 
Finn and Rey brushed passed you, Rey laughing at the look of awe on your face as you were frozen in the doorway, the ramp hitting you on the ass as it closed.
You took your time walking around the hull of the Falcon. Taking a moment just to think about the adventures she’d been on, the places she’d seen. You laughed fondly to yourself as you remembered your favorite story. You reached out and placed a hand tentatively on the wall of the old ship. “So this is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs?” you called out to your friends.
“Twelve,” Finn and Rey chorused from the cockpit, mixed with the indignant cry of your favorite Wookie. 
“Okay, twelve! Sorry, sorry,” you laughed and joined your friends in the cockpit. 
Poe was exhilarated every time he was in the air. There was nothing in the world that gave him the same feeling. This man was more comfortable in a cockpit than he was on his own two feet. If it were up to him, he’d never come down. 
But there was someone pulling him back to solid ground, like a magnet. Someone he couldn’t stop thinking about no matter how badly he wanted to exile them from his mind. He couldn't ignore your gravitational pull. He hadn't seen you in several days, you having returned from your mission two days prior. His mission was a success and he couldn't wait to tell you all about it. Leaving out the dangerous details that BB-8 was sure to fill you in on later. 
He was nervous to hear about how your mission went. It was a simple enough task, but he couldn't help but worry about you. He hoped his good luck charm was as comforting to you as it had been to him these last few years. He felt naked without it, this having been the first mission he hadn't taken it on. He found himself reaching up to stroke his finger across the band of the ring he had worn in from playing with it when he got nervous, but then remembering he'd given it to you. The idea that you were wearing a piece of him around the base made his heart leap in his chest. 
He was practically giddy when he leaped down from his X-Wing, already rushing to find you. 
Cool it Dameron, you have a soulmate waiting for you. 
Plus, he had to see the General before anything. Was he so clouded by his need to see you that he forgot he was fighting a war? 
A twinge of guilt hit him hard in the stomach, forcing him to take a deep breath and remind himself of the person looking for him somewhere in the universe. He let his feet take him down the familiar dirt path to the Command Center. The soft, damp earth caused his flight boots to sink slightly with each step.
He flooded his mind with images of what his future could be like with the person the galaxy had chosen for him. A small home on Yavin IV. Children he could teach how to fly the same way his mother taught him. A safe, quiet life with no threat of the First Order. No threats at all. He stored these images in the back of his mind for when he needed a glimmer of hope during the war. But lately he was using these daydreams as distractions from you. 
He stepped into he large room where Leia was addressing General Akbar and a few other pilots that had also just returned from a mission. 
When she caught sight of Poe her forehead created in confusion and she abruptly dismissed the debrief she was in the middle of with a wave of her hand. As they shuffled out of the room, several of them shot Poe sympathetic looks. 
What the hell was going on? 
“Commander Dameron, what are you doing here?” The General asked, walking over to him.
He hesitated, unsure as to why she was asking a question with an obvious answer, “I just landed from my mission, General. I’m here to debrief.” 
Leia dropped the General persona and gently caressed the pilots face, running her thumb over the stubble she resented.
She had always been like a second mother to Poe, and he like a second son to her. Their relationship was something special and unique. Something she thanked the Force every day for. However, her unexpected shift from serious Resistance leader to caring mother made Poe nervous. 
“I thought Finn or Rey would have been waiting on the tarmac to tell you.” 
Now he was starting to panic. What was he missing? What happened? 
“Come with me,” Leia softly implored, grabbing his calloused hand and yanking him out of the room. She tried to flood him with calm though the force connection she made with him, but his anxiety was too overbearing.
She continued explaining as she pulled him through the base, “The mission went south. There was no ex Order Commander on Ryloth. It was a set up. When they landed, there was a fleet of ‘Troopers waiting for them, ready to capture them and bring them back to the Finalizer for my son to interrogate.” She tried to keep her voice even for Poe's sake.
Poe was really panicking now, starting to pick up his speed. He squeezed Leia’s hand, begging her to continue. 
“They got out relatively unscathed. Chewie stayed on the Falcon so they were able to get away quickly. But Poe,” she stopped in her tracks, jerking Poe back to a halt. She looked him in the eyes, worried for what his reaction to her news would be. 
“Poe, the new recruit was badly hurt. They were shot in the side with a blaster and lost a lot of blood. They’ve been in the medbey unconscious for two days, but they’ll be okay,” she finished. 
Poe wordlessly turned and broke out into a run towards the medbay. Leia watched him go, knowing he needed to see you more than anything in that moment. She had felt a connection between you and Poe. She knew he wanted to wait for his soulmate, but she also knew that finding them was not likely. Part of her wished he would give in and let himself fall in love with you. Soulmate or not, she wanted him to be happy.

What's your ratings of I Am Become Christmas tracks from least favorite to most?
5. prelude to presents
it does its job as a great introductory track, the chant-like caroling really sets up the mood of the EP
4. aurora borealis
Illegal Opinion to have ab so low but i just dont completely dig the near completely synth/electronic based instrumentation, even though the songs alien premise is only amplified by it. its not like it was a bad decision to do so, its just not exactly an earworm to me
3. SAD
first off, seasonal depression anthem, second the accordian that bridges each verse together and the pockets of silence are wonderful and give me the sad and lonely feeling that im stuck in a snowed-in cabin in the middle of the woods either metaphorically or physically, or both, trying my best to cope. the use of minor chords for the “___ plus ___” verses only add to the songs haunting and depressing atmosphere. and god the… middle verse whatever the technical term is where the banjo kicks in is so good i didnt know a banjo which i mostly perceive as a Silly Instrument could make me feel so sad not to mention neils vocals are equally as lonely and cold feeling. and the horns that drone and fade out as the song ends … the song has a perfectly articulated atmosphere that im more than happy to applaud
2. cryptosanta
i love the narrative, imagining this big greedy megacorp ceo getting his comeuppance by being turned into a horrific uncanny hellspawn lovecraftian creature by his own creation is super great. thats my own interpretation of what happens throughout the course of the song, anyways. i love the heavy piano and Beep Boops intermitten in the background that give the song a twinge of disorder and urgency. i love the Sound that Happens during “ laser beams from outer space / converging on my mutant face”, the little sharp, downward spiral sort of sound that further cements the Disorder theme where hes lost control of his creation- for my own view into it, i imagine the beam to be hitting him as soon as the sound ceases and the piano comes crashing in. i unno again i just like to think a lot of the instrument choice was very intentional and meant to give you a visual
1. christmas will be soon
i can only really ever love this song when christmas is around the corner- when it isnt, cryptosanta is usually my favourite off iabc. but the lyrics of this song are by far the most genius off of iabc in my own widdle humble opinion. the lyric analysis by fawfylcoptyr perfectly sums up what the song is about, so if you want to learn more about just how good of a lyricist neil is, feel free to take a look. (it might not work on mobile, genius isnt exactly the most mobile friendly website)
the crashing piano (and a violin or whatever string instrument is being used throughout the song in tandem with the piano is im not versed in string insrtuments) i loved so dearly in cryptosanta makes a return full force in this track, but unlike the tracks i talked about previously i like this song more for the lyrics than the instrumentation. the song depends more on the refrain of two verses (decorate your untamed nature / christmas will be soon) than any actual chorus and im sort of losing steam because i just realized ive been working on this post for almost an hour and i dont think you at all asked for this heavy of a post im so sorry this probably all comes off as rambling since im not proofreading or anything
Tumblr media
this is so rambly im kind of embarassed actually. in my attempts to sound smart and know it all this post probably doesnt look all that good but i spent too much time on this so now you burden the consequences
