Hello guys.

I decided on writing a Han Solo/Qi’ra story and has been kicking around for years ever since seeing Solo film.

A little different than a Han/Leia story or male/male pairing.

Plus, can I just say, and I know this will no doubt irk a lot of the Han/Leia shippers but frankly how much Han ends up being nothing more than a love interest there for propping up Leia gets real old, very quickly.

Not as the innocent bean crap for Luke Skywalker which massively ticks me off like Tom Holland’s Peter getting treated like that, but yeah somewhat annoying.

Onwards.

First Light yacht

 Qi’ra throwing down the sword watches as Vos’s body falls to the ground with the knife sticking out of his chest and breaths a sigh of relief because the man that has controlled her for years is now dead. Turning Qi’ra looks over at Han.

“I had to” Qi’ra says referring to earlier for having faked like she was on Vos’s side.

“Yeah. No, I mean, you did... you did” Han says in understanding and holstering his blaster.

“Beckett and Chewbacca, you have to go after them” Qi’ra says.

“What are you gonna do?” Han asks in confusion, and partial dread.

“Well, if we give all the coaxium to Enfys, we're gonna need something to buy our ship with” Qu’ra replies.

Reaching over Qi’ra embraces Han in a kiss who returns it passionately as they savor it until breaking off. Turning around Solo heads for the door as Qi’ra considers asking him to smile one last time but then decides against her original plan. Decides to follow her heart and do something she hasn’t done in years actually trust another person with it. Namely trust Han with his word that her past doesn’t matter to how he sees her.

Sure, whoever Vos’s employer is might be very unhappy, but that’s something they can deal with later. Especially if she puts in the self-destruct for just blowing up Vos’s entire yacht, and hopefully makes it look like they are all dead.

Quickly Qi’ra moves forward joining Han in the elevator who is lightly grinning on as the doors close.

Later on Savareen

Beckett hearing a loud explosion turns seeing Vos’s yacht going up in flames momentarily closes his eyes as knows Han was probably on that ship, and the kid was growing. Even still been in this job for far to long with having so much loss, especially from his wife dying recently that quickly brushes it off. Ignoring Chewbacca, Beckett turns seeing Han up above, and much to his surprise Qi’ra as well.

Looking at the Wookie “Came as fast as I could buddy” Han says.

“I’m surprised Qi’ra’s with you. Still be careful kid as she’s a survivor” Beckett says.

“You know what your problem is? You think everybody’s like you” Han says.

“Not you kid. You're nothing like me. I hope you're still paying attention because now I’m gonna tell you the most important...” Beckett says yet gets cut off.

The reason? Is because Han, having pulled out his blaster pistol fires right into Beckett’s chest causing the smuggler to drop his weapon. Holstering his gun Han rushes over to catch his mentor while Qi’ra looks on.

Short while later near a camp on Savareen

Finishing loading the containers into the vehicle Chewbacca steps back towards Han and Qi’ra who is talking to Enfys Nest.

“That’s it. It’s all loaded. Do you know what that really is?” Enfys asks.

“Yeah about 60 million credits worth of refined coaxium” Qi’ra replies.

“No, it’s the blood that brings life to something new” Enfys says.

“Yeah, what’s your something new?” Han inquiries.

“A rebellion. You could come with us, you know. We need warriors and leaders like you” Enfys says.

Han, Chewbacca and Qi’ra look at each other all for a moment before Han turns back nodding.

“We’ll meet up with you guys, a rebellion shouldn’t be hard to find. First, we have something to take care of” Han says.

Enfys pulls out a vial for gives it to Han who hands it off to Qi’ra for safe keeping.

“See you around kid” Han says smirking.

Years later at a bar on Tatooine

Han, and Qi’ra sit waiting at a booth.

“I can’t believe some of the locals actually consider this place to be in the middle of nowhere” Qi’ra says.

“Yeah, the twin suns are not fun either. Heard a story about some guy who decided on spending a year out in the desert and came back looking like an old fossil having aged forty” Han replies.

“I’ll be glad when we can leave given the Falcon is repaired or up to it’s usual junk standards” Qi’ra says.

“Hey” Han replies in protest.

“Love you husband but the Falcon has fallen very far” Qi’ra says.

“Yeah, I hope Chewie shows up soon, rather not stick around given the bounty we have on our heads for freeing a slave ship ran by Jabba the Hutt” Han says.

“At least Wedge was around to help. What’s so important about the people we are picking up?” Qi’ra inquiries.

“Just some needing a ride and apparently Chewie was friends with this old guy’s mentor years back” Han says.

Looking over “I think that’s them now” Qi’ra says.

“Yeah” Han replies quietly.

Approaching is Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker who has an eagerness despite the hardness in his eyes of loss who all sit down at the table.

“Han Solo. I’m captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're looking for passage to the Alderaan system” the man says.

Hope somebody at least enjoyed this fic.

Until next time.
