See, here's the problem. Vespa Ilkay knows how to cut a man's throat before they even notice there's someone behind them. She knows how to deactivate a burglar alarm with both hands tied behind her back. She knows how to save someone from a blaster shot through the heart, and how to let someone die from a papercut and make it look like an accident.

She doesn't have a clue how to deal with a stupid crush.

just realized I never self-promoed this one fic, soooooooo. written but not set post-Shadows on the Ship, so no real spoilers if you haven’t listened yet
