Chapter 3 is up. Please note the additional warnings.
Characters/Relationships: Chirrut/Baze, original characters
Summary:
The Force equalised all. The Force took no sides. Baze knew all that.
But Baze had learned from Ah Qi long ago: service must be repaid. If not, then those who served had no recourse but to be helpless fools.
And Chirrut was no fool.
The twisting darkness of devotion; the strangling desperation of faith. Baze and Chirrut through the years.
(What does it truly mean to go where he goes? The answer: intense co-dependency.)
Warnings: A ton of references to Chinese culture, probably more intense than a bridge of birds and the greedy wolf and the judge combined. More significantly, however, this is not your usual feel-good ship. This is your feel-good ship made into something that’s rather terrible. In my beta’s words: “love hurts.”
