Fic: Isolation (Star Wars Legends X-wing)

[thedarlingone]

I posted a fic for the first time this year!

Isolation (6167 words) by thedarlingone
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars Legends: X-Wing Series - Aaron Allston & Michael Stackpole
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Wes Janson, Wes Janson's Astromech (OC)
Additional Tags: uh. shit. is castin a major character?, Canonical Character Death, Missing Scene, Castin Donn (mentioned), Introspection, POV Droid (Star Wars)
Summary:

Wes was supposed to be spending three very boring uneventful days nominally in command of Hawk-bat Base while Wedge took most of the squad to Coruscant for leave.

That was before he found out Castin Donn had just stowed away on Face's mission to meet with Warlord Zsinj.

Now he's spending three boring days in his X-wing hoping a Super Star Destroyer doesn't show up.

(Missing scenes for the book X-Wing: Iron Fist)

Thank you! (Is there a traditional same-language response to mazel tov or does one just say thank you?)

You can say todah for "thanks," but you can also just say "thanks." And in the meantime my apologies for that HTML.

*random passer-by*
I barely know this canon (just enough overall Star Wars to recognise the craft names) and am very impressed, first of all at the way the story conveys the droid viewpoint -- and conversational noises! -- and secondly by the way that I found myself actually delighted and relieved when the prefigured disaster doesn't actually happen. One of the advantages of *not* knowing the canon context, of course -- I had no idea whether they were going to get out of it or not, and Janson is assuming the worst -- but the fact that I ended up caring about the fate of characters I don't know at all and whom I hadn't even 'met' within the story itself is a considerable achievement...

Wow, thank you! That's really high praise. I'm so proud the story worked that well for you. Thank you for letting me know! :D
