I may add to this but I see it's been prompted again ~~and I just really wanted to get there first okay I have feelings about these two~~

"We're in a war," Lando says, "you know?"

Leia--oh, right, it's General Organa to him now--stares him down and responds with a frozen "I believe I was informed."

"What he's saying is," Poe rushes on, fingers twitching in Lando's grip, "I'm a little young for him but I'm old enough to make my own decisions and, unfortunately, we could all be dead any minute, so, you know. No time like the present."

"Calrissian," Leia sighs, "of all the things people have tried to justify by the provocations of their enemies, falling in love has got to be one of the most commendable."

Once that sinks in, he blushes. "Just trying to assure you my intentions are honorable."

Then she rolls her eyes. "Dameron, the man's a born scoundrel. When he tries too hard to sound honorable, that's when you run." BB-8 gives what Lando thinks is a wolf-whistle of appreciation, although he's never really sure what the droid is beeping about at any given time. That this hasn't completely ruled him out from Poe's love he treats as a new miracle every day.

"And thank you," Leia continues more quietly to Poe, "for finding him."

Well, it hadn't taken much arm-twisting, had it? Cloud City was getting less and less inviting every day, as people fled to sparser surroundings in fear of the First Order. Once he'd learned that no, there wasn't actually any point in waiting around for Han to show up on another attempt to regain some credit for the old days, Poe's tale of a noble but outnumbered force had been compelling enough.

Or maybe it had just been the man's voice.

--

The secret to a healthy relationship, Poe declares confidently, is to be too busy fighting other enemies to fight each other.

"I trust you completely," Lando admits when the General is far out of earshot, "I'm just worried that someday I'd be able to multitask."

At any rate, Poe tries to live up to these ideals by tiring himself out on missions; somehow Lando's been conscripted for top-level work behind the desk and finds himself charting courses for smaller and smaller fleets through emptier voids. When Poe gets back--sometimes by nights, and sometimes by other planets' schedules--Lando is usually able to let himself rest for a while. The other pilots have enough to tease Poe about without adding Lando to the list, but once one of them demands a rendition of The Ballad of Droid LY-05 Poe mock-protests before obliging.

Of course he would fall for someone who knows all the verses to The Ballad of Droid LY-05. In retrospect he should have seen that coming, even in the war.

"You didn't tell me you were that Lando Calrissian!" Poe finally blurts, one day over lunch. BB-8 gives him a look.

"Oh?" Lando asks. "Sorry, which other one did you think I was? Because if the other guy is behind on his debt or something I'm not him."

"Just--that you'd blown up so many spaceships." But he's smiling. It's easier to love a person than a myth; the myth couldn't have loved him back.

"Don't get a complex," Lando mutters. "I know, it isn't fair, but we're fighting for a world where there aren't enough Stormtrooper deathtraps to go around. We can't all get our own. Besides, Luke did it first."

"We all have help, too."

"Tell me about it," says Lando.

Poe takes it literally, and goes on about how great it was that his friends are so heroic (which appears to be measured in bases jerry-rigged for explosion). If Rey (who Lando still hasn't met) and Finn happened to grow closer along the way, well, that was just their due as narratively-blessed protagonists. People like Poe had to watch from far away.

Maybe finding someone else like him had been like coming down to earth after all. Or maybe, in Cloud City, it was still like walking on air.

---

They are in a war, and it sucks. Anything could happen, world-shattering or mundane--he could get shot before he has time to react, or Leia could take the brunt of a disturbance in the Force. Rey could scratch the paint of the Millennium Falcon.

Or something could happen to Poe. They're grown men, taking their own risks, and Lando knows he wouldn't be able to appeal to some other standard of fairness or claim he's entitled to more.

After they kiss one night, he has to settle for "Thank you for bringing me to this understaffed scrap heap." It's not a home on its own; Poe doesn't do magic and transform it into one just by flipping a switch, but maybe it's enough.

"Any time," says Poe.

"Calrissian, of all the things people have tried to justify by the provocations of their enemies, falling in love has got to be one of the most commendable."

"Just trying to assure you my intentions are honorable."

"Dameron, the man's a born scoundrel. When he tries too hard to sound honorable, that's when you run."

This feels like Hamilton dialogue and I love it.

Actually I love this whole fill.

Aah, I'm flattered, thanks so much! :D

I really enjoyed this! :D Their dialogue especially, but also Lando's place in the Resistance. And Leia, of course, haha. Thank you!

Thank you so much and thanks for prompting this wonderful ship! Longer version is up on Ao3 featuring a lot more interactions with other Resistance people. :)

Longer version! :) http://archiveofourown.org/works/5852464
