Why this must be read:
I don't really read that much Original Trilogy-era fic, but when this fic was posted last year for thestarwarsficfest I decided to give it a try and I very glad that I did. This is one of those stories that can very easily be inserted into canon (in the case of this fic right before the events of The Empire Strikes Back) without any continuity problems. In this fic Wedge finds himself caught in the crossfire when he tries to give Han relationship advice over a few drinks. It's a fun story, that very nicely sets up the tense relationship between Han and Leia in ESB.
“Han…life’s too short. Especially for people who do what we have to do. If you want Leia…really want her, then what’s stopping you? What people think? You’ve never cared about that before.”
“Listen, Wedge…I appreciate…your little pep talk…I really do. But let’s be realistic here. A princess and a guy like me…we’re not compatible! She’s royalty, she’s also practically a figurehead for the Alliance now. She’s…that expensive curio that you see in a shop window. Even if you could afford it, what the heck would you do with it if you got it?”
