I stumbled across the prompt while idly perusing the fills post, and was immediately drawn in by the idea. Some h/c, familial love, and less angst sounded perfect.
And...holy crap, I'm just blown away. So much wonderful world-building, and your writing is fabulous. That restless frustration and guilt Poe feels early on; his arrival on Yavin IV and staying at his childhood home; his dad being such a good dad... . I'd love your portrayal of their relationship no matter what, but Kes's demeanor reminds me enough of my own father's to bring tears to my eyes. The town of New Hope is just so lovingly, realistically, vibrantly depicted--definitely reminds me of a few places I've known, that have since turned into upscale shopping areas and tourist attractions--progress, for good or bad.
Again, your writing is such a wonderful treat to read. So glad you picked up this (great) prompt and are sharing it here. I only hope you continue to tell this story, and eventually post it on Ao3, so I can bookmark it!
