There is no journey without risk --

there is no way to tell the passing of days, of weeks, of months. each cycle moves just the same as the next, an endless loop of time, brought on by the quiet hum of progress. blood does not flow, his heart does not beat, eyes do not see ( Read more... )

When he walks back through the door, it's not exactly walking. It's darker than he remembered coming through, and he trips on something in the fog and stumbles, falling, hitting the ground with a dull thud ( Read more... )

The walls are white.

It's fitting, Han thinks, for a place called Cloud City. But perhaps not, when you think about what goes on in the underbelly of the city, the steel workings and machines, the grease and the steam, sweat and blood of the processing plants for the gas mine. Sure, they may have beautiful malls and well decorated plazas, but what ( Read more... )

The ship tilts as the blasts of laser fire from the Avenger slam into the hull, warning lights flickering in and out in the cockpit, silent alarms, warnings, everything telling Han what's happening to his baby and what she needs to stay in one piece.

This ship following them is faster than the others, and she wants them bad and Han knows it. No ( Read more... )

They're in the cave for awhile. It's so dark (not like there's a sunrise or sunset to watch over the horizon when you're in space anyways) that he can't really tell how much time has passed, other than the fact that they all end up sleeping, eventually. The Falcon isn't built for a large crew, so the quarters are a bit tight. Chewie has his own ( Read more... )

And while the Falcon may not be quite as nimble as other fighter ships, being a ( Read more... )

"The first transport is away. The first transport is away."A cheer goes up through the base as pilots and gunners scramble for their ships. Han is busy welding bits of steel together and making sure not to set any more fires when the walls of the base shake softly ( Read more... )

He steps back into the Falcon, well, crawls actually, through one of the hatches in the floor, and once he's certain that she's empty, he makes his way into the crew quarters. The wrapped bundle of bread goes into a storage box where it will stay fresh and won't freeze, and he tucks the small Ratchet plushie in next to his pillow, hidden where ( Read more... )

There's something to be said for a normal snowfall on a relatively normal planet. Han's seen a few (most have been at Milliways, if you want to get into specifics...or consider Milliways Bar to be normal for that matter) but they always have different factors involved. No wind means the snow falls lightly to the ground in clumps and layers. Colder ( Read more... )
