    Summary

    Padme lives. She runs.

    --

    Leia is growing in fits and spurts, eating greedily and crying loudly. She stays in a sling on Padme’s chest when they move, Luke held snug in a sling around Obi Wan’s. Luke gets a whole head of thick brown hair while Leia’s is still patchy and bald, but he never matches his sister’s powerful lungs.

    When Padme had been sitting in her high senatorial apartment on Corsucant, holding Anakin’s sweaty hand, she had never imagined she’d be murmuring desperately soothing noises to her fussy daughter while she shot around a corner at stormtroopers, while R2D2 meddles with a ship’s blast doors behind her.

    Luke starts teething on a hot jungle planet where they hunker down for three weeks, sleeping in an abandoned old temple and catching the local wildlife for dinner. Leia takes her first steps in the belly of a Corellian freighter they’ve stowed away on. She wobbles between Padme’s outstretched hands and Obi Wan’s knees and boxes of smuggled luxuries. When she falls down, Obi Wan surges forward, heart in his throat, but Leia laughs.

    Okay what woah

    Given the choice, Leia would not have traded purple irises for anything, no matter how it ended. She would have saved them, if she could, but she never would have given them up to save herself this. Leia will carry the Organa’s sunlit breakfast table all her life, the warmth of that home. She will carry Isabel’s voice to distant stars. Her heart will break again and again. She will not Fall.

    Summary

    "You don’t look convinced," says Enjolras.

    "I can’t see this restaurant going vegan. We’re in France."

    "Two percent of France’s population avoids animal products to some extent," Enjolras crosses his arms. "They’re a valuable target group."

    "And yet," Grantaire wags a finger at Enjolras, "It strikes me that 98 percent is the bigger number."

    a.k.a. Enjolras and Grantaire meet, clash & do some other stuff with food along the way

    “I don’t really think about stuff like that,” Shane replies in interviews, his lips wooden at the words.

    Summary

    Amundsen-Scott Station, Antarctica

    In grad school the only flirting he had mastered was the strategic deployment of phrases like ‘oh, really?’ and ‘is that so?’ It was brought to his attention by one of his more regular hookups in the kitchen of his apartment while they were cooking dinner, and he had said whenever Shane wanted to fuck he started talking like a coastal elite college girl who’d never had to ask for it outright. Now, in this strange point of contact with Ilya where it was obvious something vaguely carnal had passed between them, he thought about emulating his particular brand of assured charm. Whatever ideas he’d concocted devolved rather quickly into his own unintentional directness, and he said, “Does it scare you?”

    “Does climatology scare you?” Ilya’s face was measured and calm, his foot still pressed against the curved joint above Shane’s heel.

    “Yeah,” the word came out like a laugh, “it does, actually. A lot.”
