#gingerpilotholiday

Ginger General and Resistance Pilot having a cup of coffee together on a cold fall day. 

So I really wanted to do fanfiction, but despite my good intentions (and the ideas that I came up with), I don’t think that’s gonna happen for any of my prompts. Perhaps one day I’ll be able to expand on these and turn them into full stories, but for now, you can just enjoy the idea and the brainstorm behind it. However, if anyone wants to make a fic off of any of these ideas, be my guest, just make sure to credit me. And then tag me so I can read it!!  

o  Idea – CrackFic! Making sure your significant other gets their gift in time for the holidays is difficult in any long-distance relationship. Being on opposite sides of an intergalactic war only complicates matters further.

Brainstorm 

- Both Hux and Poe have had a secret relationship for a while. They holocall when they can, and try desperately to line up their breaks so that they can have a few stolen days together

§  They find out that, despite their best efforts, they’ll have to work through the holidays (let’s just assume that there is some sort of intergalactic holiday, that everyone celebrates, okay?)

§  Each becomes determined to get the other the best present they can, after all the other person is the best thing to happen to them in a while, and they want the other person to know they care

§  Knowing that any sort of information about their own side is against the rules of their agreement; Hux gets Poe an X-wing charm that looks like Poe’s ship that can go on the chain with his mother’s ring, and a Galaxy’s Best Pilot shirt (Because he does have a sense of humor, thank you very much), while Poe gets Hux a beautiful pair of leather gloves with orange accents (hidden of course) and a cute cat toy for Millicent.

§  The problem both have is getting the gifts to their respective recipients without getting caught, because, you know, they’re on different sides of an intergalactic war.

§  Since they don’t know where the other is located, they despair at getting the gifts to the other on time for the holiday. Both become extremely mopey because of it.

§  When both sides find out that Ren and Rey have gone to confront each other (again, what is this the 3rd time in the past month!?) Both sides go rushing in to battle, and on his way out of the base, Poe grabs his gift for Hux

§  During the impromptu space battle, Poe sees the perfect chance to sneak aboard the star destroyer. All he’ll have to do get in, find Hux’s room, leave the gift, sneak out, and leave before he gets caught; easy.

§  Beyond all laws of physics, and battle tactics, Poe manages to land his ship aboard an empty port of the star destroyer. He quickly knocks out a stormtrooper and steals their uniform.

§  Hux gets a small alert on his pad telling him that an unauthorized craft has just landed in port, before he can order a squadron down there he sees that its Poe’s X-wing, he quickly erases the alert from all the computers, and then quickly orders a droid to retrieve the package he has in his quarters, directing it to put it in Poe’s X-wing

§  Meanwhile Poe is desperately trying to find Hux’s quarters, and is failing miserably, just when he is about to give up a droid approaches him, and asks if he needs any assistance.

§  Wary Poe goes to shoot the droid with the blaster, but the droid refers to him as flyboy (Which is Hux’s nickname for him) realizing that Hux must have sent the droid to help him (despite this going against their… agreement) He asks for directions to the general’s room.

§  The droid takes him there, and Poe leaves his gift on Hux’s bed, pets Millicent, and then quickly leaves hoping to get off the star destroyer as soon as possible.

§  The droid helps lead him back to the hanger, and in the last second distracts a contingent of stormtroopers from getting into the port and seeing Poe’s X-wing.

§  Poe scrambles out of the stormtrooper armor and gets into the cockpit only to discover a small gift in the seat. Figuring that Hux must have taken advantage of this whole situation he then makes his way out of the hanger, and into the thick of battle once more.  

§  Meanwhile Rey and Ren have been running around on the surface staying out of range of scanners, hoping that they can keep this going on long enough, so their two idiots can deliver their gifts.

§  Sensing that their friends are finally happy (fuck you the force is basically magic when it comes to these two, I don’t have to explain it) They call a retreat of their respective sides and make out a bit before they must leave.

§  Later, both Poe and Hux are opening their gifts from each other. They love them, and then holocall to thank the other. Both wishing each other a happy holiday, and planning to spend their next break, thanking the other more “in-depth”
