I actually strongly disagree with the message here. Marriage before sex is kinder, safer, and more romantic - for once you're married, you have more safety net once trials happen. Even the trial of not being at war anymore.

Oh, I really enjoyed the domesticity, banter, and quiet devotion of this piece. It'd make sense for Han to propose out of his own impulsiveness and Leia, despite knowing that she *will* marry him at some point, putting on the brakes to enjoy the ride.

Lovely. I like Leia wanting to *savor* this for a while...and the discussion about showering and the passage of time.

Another sweet story. Thank you.

Love it! Dialogue, setting, mood... A perfectly-captured snippet of the-morning-after-the-night-before.

Cute little story!

What an awesome, fun, steamy little scene. You left me wanting a much longer story here. The dialogue and characterizations were spot-on, and I do love how you made Leia be the one to keep control of the situation-very savvy and yet romantic, her wanting to savor things a little longer.

Awww! Han and Leia are so cute :) And I love the reference at the end there to The Courtship of Princess Leia - like Han would worry about Leia's consent when determined to marry her hahaha. But my favorite line by far was "holy hell the inlaws!" because that just about sums it up perfectly, I think ;D Nice job!

Wow, that was nice!

i"...an exhausted sigh, full of overly-hot showers and steamed up ships and Ewok adoptions and space stations the size of a moon and garbage chutes and the way she inevitably left her damn boots lying under the same chair he damn well always left his boots lying under and Rebel Alliances he absolutely was not going to become a permanent part of and annoying little brothers and holy hell the in-laws."/i

LOL! That sums it up. Excellent work!

I loved this, you really wrote Han and Leia perfectly.
